***** OFFICIAL Little Rock vs UK GAME THREAD*****

[DelkBowl]

This team has no idea what their identity is or who they should let lead them.

 

[Dward13]

UALR has 25 points in 25 minutes.

much will be said about the offense, but I’m liking what I see on defense.

Honestly still my bigger concern. I feel like we have wayyyy too much ability on the offensive end for us to be a bad offensive team. Hell, for us to be a not elite scoring team. I think the points are going to come.

 

[UKCowboys]

Mitchell would have make a huge difference. I could see this bunch developing into a fine team by SEC play. Good effort, unselfish, just not knocking down some open shots.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wilkins kinda having a rough go

 

[DelkBowl]

Please bench Wilkins for 6 games.

 

[bbnkat02]

Defense A freaking plus at times.

Offense is D-

 

[CELTICAT]

Nice block by Hawthorne. UALR still sitting on 25.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Nice Hawthorne

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

pretty sure wilkens sucks

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Wilkins needs to learn that he doesn’t have to Superman it now.

 

[RunninRichie]

Wilkins scored some points against UCONN, and convinced UK that he’s Bradley Beal.

 

[RoyKent]

Offense is pretty hideous.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I said all along Zoom sucks and never should have been rated that high. Go watch his Washington highlights. It was 70% mid range jumpers.

I was never a fan really. He led .500 teams with some talent on them too.

 

[wildcatdon]

When did we get lil brothers pa announcer with thrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee.

Dont know but it sounds horrible. Hope he js just filling in.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Wow

 

[Catastic5]

wtf

 

[bbnkat02]

How the **** do you struggle with a press Pope?!?!

 

[ukman72]

Please sit Wilkins so he starts to learn what a good shot is. Pope needs to pull him and explain to him what a good shot is. His attitude seems to be that he is supposed to just keep taking every shot he can get.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

They look like the first exhibition for a team that has never played together and gave their bench a lot of run

That is true.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Alex being totally selfish tonight.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

oh thats an amazing sequence right there.....amateur stuff.

 

[TFCat11]

I could see this being first game jitters. That’s what i’m going to tell myself till they show me it’s not.

Please don’t show me it’s not.

Unfortunately, I see a poorly coached team. Top half of the SEC, and a few non conference teams are going to clown suit these guys if Pope doesn’t define some roles, and run some actual offensive schemes!

He probably is…

[MidseasonTweak]

Moreno and Moncilovich as advertised tonight

 

[TX Wildcat]

Well, every team just figured out to press us on the inbounds.

 

[chroix]

Wilkins

 

[kyjeff1]

Lots of folks did. Completely unwarranted, especially given the situation he was put in. Diallo is DA minus DAs defense.

He was *** early on, kinda like Zoom is right now. Pope wont get credit for developing DA, but maybe Zoom will be as good as DA ended up being.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Lmfao wtf is McBride doing?!

 

[OGtruebluewildcat]

Williams looking more like a Jr running back than freshman pg.

Get him a flight Stillwater Oklahoma after the game.

Looks like an old big east guard that you didn’t want to come across in March.

Have needed that type of thicker guard who can body people, take contact, deliver contact.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

I get it’s an exhibition. But you can’t honestly watch these dudes move and play and be encouraged, right. They’re going to need to shoot 50% from 3 to beat any team with a pulse.

Maybe the most concerning thing to me, if these teams wore masks and generic uniforms you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between and SEC team and whatever the hell conference ULR plays in.

It amazes when he and others play "Superfan" and childishly bash others when others make realistic observations that they don't like to read. Oooof

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Pope needs to back off on the "shoot every open 3" stuff. It really needs to be in the concept if the offense. You can't just chuck up shots the way Wilkins is. He looks like Jasper Johnson out there tonight.

Isn’t that the truth. I like shooting 3’s but they should be in the flow of the offense and off good passes. This catch and shoot just because isn’t working.

 

[Wunky]

lol pressed into back to back turnovers by Little Rock. Lord have mercy.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Moreno and Moncilovich as advertised tonight

moreno almost has as many points as he does turnovers.....stop

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

We had **** offense with Cal at the end too. Just seems like we seen about 5 years of ********

I’m not sure we did.

his last three years were 5th,17th and 7th.

his defense OTOH……….oh boy lol.

 

[ukman72]

I am pleased with Ndiaye, Momcilovich, Hawthorne, and that's about it. Williams is fine and Moreno has been okay. Zoom and Wilkins are concerning to me as our PG's. This could be a long season.

 

[megablue]

Our second five is more fun to watch.
They give more effort.
That is what I see.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Well known you are not a UK fan

Yep! Dude is a ******* loser! Imagine having such a pitiful existence that you literally troll a rival’s game thread on their board. Lmao what a turd.

 

[ukman72]

Mcbride has not shown me anything when he's been in.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Pope is in a tough position. But he knew this when he took the job or should have.
Kenpom 26th. Not horrendous

but if we finish in thst 20-30 range again it’s just not good enough here. That’s not the UK standard here.

Right now it looks like top 25 is the ceiling for this group.
