BB: UK vs UCF (EXH) Game Thread

[JPFisher]

Hawthorne has definitely built up some muscle. He's got plenty of room on that frame to become a damn tank.

Goodness, he's earning some playing time.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Dude, with that logic, folks would never make it out of their job's probationary period. We gotta give em time to learn and gel with the system. They didn't just forget how to play basketball between their last stop and here.

how much time should we give a JR with 2 years at a major program who is make 3M a year.....i dont care where you draw the line. just draw it.

 

[megablue]

Hawthorne has unlimited potential

The Beckley Bomber !!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Might as well start one.

Zoom needs to step up and show he can improve. So far he's more of a willing passer. Hopefully that will be more consistent.

Looks like we are running more action on offense tonight thank god. Like seeing Hawthorne do something too. He could be good but he needs weight. Where is our S&C coach? He has been here awhile now and still is thin. Some guys are just like that, but I’d love to see him gain 20 pounds of muscle.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Hawthorne!!

 

[ala_kat2]

I think Williams is already better than Zoom. Not sure if that’s good or bad for this season lol

Not just better, MUCH BETTER.

It cancels out. Williams looks like a quality player now while Zoom looks like a freshman with a low BBIQ to boot

 

[gbl97]

Zoom = Oweh. Lots of issues. But he will be a guy who takes it to the rack and gets a big bucket later in the year.

 

[phyrekat01]

Why is Mom just standing in the corner? Are we going to run any screens for him? (Yes, I know, he had a couple of curl screens, but even those looked forced

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

diallo is useless. afraid to take the one shot he is sort of good at. we dont have an SEC capable back court.

I have not and probably will not ever be much of a fan of his game. He could improve but he looks just like I expected him to look for the most part. He should drive and dish/finish all game. He’s got the size and decent speed.

 

[OGtruebluewildcat]

Hawthorne…aka little tayshaun…

Kid has got something. No fear in pulling from wherever…

 

[ala_kat2]

Diallo is fairly ineffective on offense, so Pope must be playing him for his defense.

I dunno, but the line ain't before the dang season starts

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Doom Diabolical is frustrating

thats insulting to oweh who score double digits in scoring like 95% of the time and make big defensive plays.

 

[ala_kat2]

How many open threes from the corner are we going to allow?

 

[gbl97]

He was the best player on a horrible team. Missed layups, bad handle, couldn't shoot.

 

[megablue]

We should be able to beat UCF by 20 points without ever taking a three-pointer.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

ucf heating up....

 

[UKJenning]

Mark Fox needs fired at the half.

Our defense is terrible!

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

He was the best player on a horrible team. Missed layups, bad handle, couldn't shoot.

but he was the best player. vs the a bad player on a horrible team. these two things are not close to being equal

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Nothing like getting up 13 and then just stop playing defense. Mark Pope staple.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

just a joke of a shot by wilkins. he will be at a mid major school next year

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Nobody collapses in the last 4 minutes of the half like kentucky, every ******* time.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Poor end to the half.

39 to 35. At least we are almost on pace for 80.

 

[JPFisher]

It's Zoom Diallo's fault Wilkins just air mailed that shot.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Up 4 on this team. Yeah it's exhibition but ooooof

 

[rivercatinfl]

How many open threes from the corner are we going to allow?

No lie. Terribly D

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Offense picks up, 3 point defense slacks off

 

[Farsight Clone]

4 Point lead against a really bad UCF team

 

[JPFisher]

Everyone knows you don't have to play defense the last few minutes before half.

 

[Seth_C]

Wilkins is such a ******* ball hog.

 

[megablue]

Nothing like getting up 13 and then just stop playing defense. Mark Pope staple.

We are too tall to stay with quick people.
We fatigue on defense.
We should play some zone and switch defenses.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Offense picks up, 3 point defense slacks off

That is called lack of discipline

 

[rivercatinfl]

I

Up 4 on this team. Yeah it's exhibition but ooooof

haven’t seen the stats but it looks like UCF is out rebounding us by several just watching the game.

 

[rick64]

MM should touch the ball every time down the floor.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

Yeah Pope is gone after the year.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

diallo 2-7, 0-2 from three - 4 points
wilkins 1-3, 0-1 from three - 4 points

brutal

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Wilkins was terrible against TT as well until he got hot at the end.

 

[TheBestThereEverWas]

4 Point lead against a really bad UCF team

Wouldn't say really bad...top 50 in Torvik and Kenpom...doesn't fit the narrative tho
