••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS MISS ST GAME THREAD••

[RoyKent]

Better be careful or this will be a 15 point game a few minutes into the half

 

[zannmann]

Cal says all the bennies need to shut up, he’s got this.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

If wishes and buts were candies and nuts…..

I know, but Kentuckys luck with **** shooting teams and 50/50 bounces going against them is unreal this year

 

[HenryMuto]

Jefferies 26% from 3 this year goes 2/2 including one with 0.3 left on the shot clock.

Some nights just not your night.

So we lose this game then win our next 2 then lose at Tennessee

That makes us 21-10 not great Bob Should just won vs Florida and LSU

 

[Wunky]

DJ Jeffries is a great example of how this COVID rule hurts a team like UK.

He would have been graduated by now. And not that he's very good or anything, but it's his 5th year, he's probably like 23, and if he wasn't in there, it would for sure he someone a lot less experienced. Probably whoever his backup is.

DJ Jeffries sucks ***. I don’t care if he’s 30.

The problem isn’t DJ freaking Jeffries. It’s this team’s complete and utter failure to learn any semblance of defense. And Cal’s utter failure to teach it.

 

[TankedCat]

win or lose this game, at this point anyone shows surprise at this,I don't know what to say

 

[carolinacat]

If he starts the same lineup that started the game, we’ll get destroyed

 

[JadedCat]

You sound like Cal.

No, moron

 

[fastpaste101]

To play devil's advocate, name one team that would get hyped for playing Mississippi St.

We should be excited by the chance to win a game and help seed.

Cal is the 12+ loss man. 3rd time n 4 seasons upcoming.

 

[G-PIP]

Miss. St. playing a power game. Scoring at the rim, lots of FTs, killing it on the boards. Now they're even hitting the majority of the few 3s they take. Going to take a tough effort to overcome them.

 

[katwest]

Next year we will have two 240 pounders inside, so hopefully the backing our guys down so easy will stop.

 

[1STSergeant]

MSU is 99% winning this game. All it will take is Dilly and the bigs to pick up some quick fouls and this game is toast. The one percent is if Dilly puts up 20 points this half.

That's some pretty good odds.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Rebounding needs to get better. Much better.

Also guys like Dilly need to stay on the court. You can't get a cheap 2nd foul.

 

[gbl97]

Ever notice how Cal's comments rarely have anything to do with basketball? He just talks about how to try harder, not to give up, just missing shots, etc. That's the extent of the halftime speech.

 

[ala_kat2]

We need edwards to play like his build. He’s so weak taking it to the basket. I thought coming in he would be a physical freak but he plays below the rim.

He’s afraid of contact and doesn’t go up aggressively when there is a defender there.

 

[megablue]

Gotta start Z and let him and let him play the ENTIRE second half, unless he fouls out. He will have to help us win this game !!

 

[bbnkat02]

I know, but Kentuckys luck with **** shooting teams and 50/50 bounces going against them is unreal this year

The problem is our Defense is ***. And we lost games earlier in the year that we shouldnt have.

You don’t lose so many front end games you can afford a fluke night on the road.

How is 21-10 not great, it’s bad for uk standards but that’s probabaly a 6 seed

 

[HenryMuto]

We were 5-2 on the road before the LSU loss sucks going to be finish at 5-5 after such a great road start

 

[RMorris33_rivals]

I don't understand how this team can play with high energy against Auburn and Alabama then turn around and come out so flat against LSU and Miss St

 

[ala_kat2]

That’s all he’s got. Motivation but no coaching.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

This is starting to look like a 3 minute post game show for Cal tonight…

 

[oldsports_]

We were 5-2 on the road before the LSU loss sucks going to be finish at 5-5 after such a great road start

We lost?

 

[L.O.D.]

Most talented roster in college ball could have 9 losses before March if this holds. And folks still want to defend Cal

 

[HenryMuto]

How is 21-10 not great, it’s bad for uk standards but that’s probabaly a 6 seed

This is Kentucky buddy 6 seeds are for other teams

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

Cal doing his thing to dictate the pace....NOT!

Why not press and make them play full court?

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

We need edwards to play like his build. He’s so weak taking it to the basket. I thought coming in he would be a physical freak but he plays below the rim.

He’s at least giving some more effort on rebounds tonight, but that part is weird to me. I don’t know if he worked so hard on bulking up that he lost some explosiveness or what, but he’s literally been blocked by the rim a few times this year. Even his awesome game on Saturday was mostly just him making jumpers. The guy who was reportedly dunking all over the place in high school camps has never shown up for some reason.

 

[HenryMuto]

We lost?

Yep I called it and the Tennessee game too. Going to go walk my invisible dog now and check back in after the game to see how much we lost by.

ZERO CHANCE we can win this ESPN has it at 20% so I will just assume the loss.

 

[warrior-cat]

win or lose this game, at this point anyone shows surprise at this,I don't know what to say

Go back and look at UK's record under Calipari when behind at the half. This game is over. Start drinking and dreaming of next year because this is who we are.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

How is 21-10 not great, it’s bad for uk standards but that’s probabaly a 6 seed

At UK we don't play for 6 seeds.

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

Jefferies for MS was a UK commits a few years ago I think.

Dude is 24-25 years old. Has played all over the country.

Disgrace he still has eligibility.

 

[NociHTTP]

I know, but Kentuckys luck with **** shooting teams and 50/50 bounces going against them is unreal this year

Some of it's luck, a lot of it is just plain lack of effort. In 19 mins the big's have 4 rebounds. Awful. Not blocking out, not getting up for the 50/50 balls.

 

[ukjenning44]

The Cal defenders came out early and said it’s OK to lose this game.
so I guess it’s ok

 

[KentuckyStout]

Such SEC West road game predictable crap. It's like a broken record playing the exact same song over and over again.

Other team does the same crap, Cal does the same crap, Kentucky loses. The end.

 

[$Z71$]

Games are 40 minutes and not 20 for a reason. Instead of incessantly bitching how about we root for the Cats in the second half? Unbelievable negative lives on here, that's no way to live. Shitnfirat half, it happens. Let's make adjustments and come out punching them in the face.

 

[ala_kat2]

win or lose this game, at this point anyone shows surprise at this,I don't know what to say

No surprise to me, but I still get mad at ugly basketball and our defense.

 

[oldsports_]

All these 1st rounders, and we can't beat mediocre teams.
Hopefully we pull this off

 

[katwest]

I thought I heard they average 6 three pointers a game, well they have 6 at half, it’s going to take an extraordinary second half to win this game, it doesn’t look good.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

I don't understand how this team can play with high energy against Auburn and Alabama then turn around and come out so flat against LSU and Miss St

They win the games that look like going in they have no shot.
They already beat State so they don't take them serious.
