Better not be Wallace. He just took what the defense gave him. AND he hit the shots.
He’s talking about Wallace when Cal screamed at him after making a wide open 3 early in the shot clock. I hate him. Hate hate hate him.
Wallace was 10 for 15 from the field & had 9 assists & Calipari calls him selfish. What an embarrassing idiot.

Oscar was selfish defensively. Cal described the plays Oscar failed to close out high hand....just got sprayed 4x.

Toppin was on one tonight with Ware.

Laughable what he said about Wallace's FT mental block. "Just don't get fouled". Agreed. Also--don't turn your damn feet towards the sidelines and maybe you'll nail them.
Yeah I caught a few min of the post game and Cal went off on this " Just dont get fouled " nonsense and I'm thinking " how do you play not to get fouled " ????? I swear Cal's a solid 1/2 bubble off center .

I don’t understand these comments. You were pumped when Mark Coury was our starting center and Michael Porter our PG? I absolutely am apathetic right now but I feel exactly like I did Tubbys last 2 years and BCG’s last couple months. It was time for them to go when I felt this way, but this sure isn’t a new feeling.
I have been a fan for 55 years, I watched the first half crap show to see what changes were made and changed the channel at halftime. I would take Tubby over Cal every day of the week, at least when Tubby was here we had a chance to beat top 20 teams.

Not at the end. Remember that 25 point beating we took from Vandy Tubbys last year? Ya me neither, because at that point I had stopped watching!

Then do yourself a favor and find another team and another board to post on . Might be the best for all parties

I know everyone hates Cal right now. But this was Cal being sarcastic with Wallace. Saying hey if you don't get fouled you don't have to worry about making the free throws. As in, giving him a hard time because he can't hit a free throw right now. I don't know how you can hear that as anything other than facetious.

In 70 years of following the UK
basketball team, this was the first time I didn’t watch just because I didn’t care. It’s called apathy.
It's the first broadcast I've missed I could get since 64 I could get. Why did I miss. I forgot about it. So we both remember Rupp. I never even missed BG. JUST losing interest

I’ll always root for Kentucky. But not the guy trying to tear everything down and blaming the fans for it. If you support that, then maybe you are the one who needs a new team.
No I am a cats fan till the end I just don’t act like a dumb *** like you do

I detected no sarcasm what so ever when listening to that .

Just think, we could've had Bryce Hopkins starting at the 4 instead. Sigh.
No we couldn’t have. He would’ve been crammed at the 3 like Livingston, Poythress, and the rest of the revolving door of 4s that Cal told he would play at the 3 to get them to come to UK.

I’m of the mind that Wallace needs to get to the line MORE not less cal. He needs to find his stroke instead of suppressing him. I know realistically Wallace is probably an 80% ft shooter just needs to get dialed in

You see when he wouldn't slap his hand when checking in? That **** is toxic.
It is. And I’ve lost some respect for Toppin. Dude apparently believed his own hype and drank the metaphorical bleach. You NEVER want a guy on your team that is thinks he’s all that and while good, isn’t. That **** will destroy a team very very quickly.

You should give the same advice to Cal. Let HIM find another team. It definitely would be best for all parties.

LOL. Sounds like you have a problem, this year, next year, who knows how long. I'm not sure who our AD would hire, don't think Billy Clyde is available.

Do you realize how stupid you sound when you seemingly take pleasure in our team being bad?

"Tough luck, guys! Cal is going to be here driving us to NITs and 9-16 records for years and you just have to get over it! Hyuck hyuck."

During tubby’s last few years i knew going into a season we weren’t a threat before we ever played a game. That’s exactly what this feels like. We will not be a threat anymore as long as Cal is the coach.

Tubby had the same issue as Cal. We weren’t what i would call dog ****. Made the tourney those two seasons. Won 20+ games. But we lost to damn near every team we played that was worth anything.

Same exact thing happening now. Can’t beat good teams anymore.

Moronic post. I’ve (we’ve) had a problem since 2019 and it’s time to fix said problem.

Whatever. Since 2019?

2020 - no tournament

2021 - year severely interrupted by covid. All young, new face teams struggled...including Duke. But at least they had a few returnees.

2022 - great year, great team...TyTy injury > never the same. God forbid Cal lost first round for the first time. All the greats: Coach K, Self. Izzo have all lost in the first round. K & Self multiple first round losses.

Let's see how this ends up. Our fanbase sucks...including football. Half this board was ready to fire Stoops after Vandy & just a few weeks before looked at him as Bear Bryant. It's ridiculous.

Yes. The moment I was officially done was when Hagans lost the game against auburn for us because Cal was too stubborn to put his *** on the bench when he was hurting the team. Rinse repeat with wheeler the past two years. I’ll admit I was almost back in with maxey and quick, but covid did us a favor and saved us from having to watch Cal screw that up somehow too.

Yeah let’s grill the dude who’s on fire and actually made shots, just the dumbest reason I can think of to get mad especially when the clock was winding down on that play. He made it happen again.
No way he was talking about Wallace. If he was that is grounds to fire him on the spot. We don't win the game without Wallace. Let that sink in, we lose to FAMU without a player Cal calls selfish. Even Cal isn't that far out of touch with reality.

begok is a control freak--so yes, he can be attacking Wallace for not running the "Go, Go" play or the "Slo, Slo" play.

Scoring is not the objective---following orders is
