***** GAME CHAT: UK vs. TENN TECH *****

[Vek96]

people are so upset at how bad noah is....they will blame oweh.

at some point this season people will realize its more about he players around oweh than oweh. its not oweh's fault noah cant guard. its not oweh's fault jasper and williams jack up shots. its not oweh's fault garrison is a mess. its not oweh's fault moreno is turnover prone.

Oweh hasn’t been worth a **** so far this year. Not sure what you’re talking about.

We get some "defensive" and "physical" players, and Pope makes them trash in d and soft...

Pope just not want spend super money to buy some obvious options...

Or players don't want to play for Mark Pope. Can you imagine Stokes playing under Pope? Bro gotta be like "you joking"?

 

[storm1507]

Well, for a little positive spin, the lineup of Moreno w/ Jasper, Chandler, Noah and Williams looked pretty good the latter part of the half.

 

[anon1790746896]

Year 3 with what players? We might be fielding a WKU level team. With portal scraps. And no, not Koby Brea/Lamont Butler types either.

Probably buy another 24-25 team... If he actually returns for year 3

 

[bbnkat02]

Damn, Lady Cats lost. First lost of the season for them.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

I'm assuming once JQ comes back Garrison will only get a few minutes per game unless there is crazy foul trouble. JQ will at least give us rim protection if nothing else. What does Garrison even bring.

I think you assume two things that aren’t necessarily certain to happen. One is that JQ will even “come back”. This team will have 5 losses (at least) and be unranked by the time he’s potentially ready. He will have a bunch of people in his ear not to rush anything.

Secondly, if he does come back I highly doubt Pope just plays BG sparingly. Pope seems to be the only guy on the planet that thinks BG is worthy of the time he gets. Dates all the way back to last season. Hell, he played nearly as many mins as AW. Thats just batshit crazy. Coaching malpractice, to borrow a term this board loved to use.

No SECT or regular season title. And a sweet 16. Pretty good for year one. Year 3? With millions in NIL dollars? Nope.

 

[bbnkat02]

Well, hello Denzel.

What was the line on this game?

 

[crashtestdummy_rivals61973]

Well, for a little positive spin, the lineup of Moreno w/ Jasper, Chandler, Noah and Williams looked pretty good the latter part of the half.

Against who?

 

[bbnkat02]

lol....Third time's the charm.

 

[Anon1751335390]

Oweh hasn’t been worth a **** so far this year. Not sure what you’re talking about.

Ha yeah. It would be one thing if he were a freshman or something. He was leading scorer last year and a preseason All SEC player! He practically lost the UL game on his own.

 

[anon1790746896]

No SECT or regular season title. And a sweet 16. Pretty good for year one. Year 3? With millions in NIL dollars? Nope.

I think if season goes bad, change needs to be made

But if he actually returns for year 3 in the end, probably this is how he will go, at least it will be better than this season and somewhat respectable

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

moreno crop dusted in the paint and chandler beaten back door. but lets talk about oweh's body lanuage....

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

This is the most down I've been this early in the season in a long, long time. It doesn't help that my expectations were so high.

You got duped by persistent positivity

 

[bbnkat02]

Justified too. All we heard from the media was how deep this team was. Don't forget Pope saying it reminded him of 1996.

And he called this team a Ferrari.

Man, I like Pope....but his PR has sucked this year.

 

[wildcatdon]

Does Mo really have an injury or is he just suspended? Looks to be walking fine. Don’t know what else could be wrong.

 

[MbergCat]

Oweh hasn’t been worth a **** so far this year. Not sure what you’re talking about.

Exactly. Zero excuse for the preseason SEC POTY to be this bad. And the thing is, he doesn't seem to care.

 

[bbnkat02]

moreno crop dusted in the paint and chandler beaten back door. but lets talk about oweh's body lanuage....

Yep sure will. Because he's brought NOTHING to the table so far.

 

[ala_kat2]

Damn, Lady Cats lost. First lost of the season for them.

Too many turnovers and fouls. Key with zero points and point guard with 8 turnovers. Michigan is good.

 

[Anon1751335390]

For what it's worth, Barttorvik had us a 32 point favorite and predicted the final to be 94-61.

We're behind offensively but doing better defensively than predicted.

 

[bbnkat02]

Too many turnovers and fouls. Key with zero points and point guard with 8 turnovers. Michigan is good.

It was Maryland. And yes they are.

 

[RunninRichie]

moreno crop dusted in the paint and chandler beaten back door. but lets talk about oweh's body lanuage....

Whole team is really bad. Looks at our performances against UL and Michigan state. We got outscored 179-154 combined. Team is really bad.

 

[MbergCat]

Damn, Lady Cats lost. First lost of the season for them.

Yeah, I think Maryland is solid. I still remember Jade Perry from my town (Muhlenberg) playing for the national championship Maryland team in the early 2000's.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

Well, for a little positive spin, the lineup of Moreno w/ Jasper, Chandler, Noah and Williams looked pretty good the latter part of the half.

That lineup would give up 120 points to a team with a pulse. Zero rebounding and very little on ball defense. But that’s true of most of our lineups. Just a poorly constructed roster.

 

[anon1790746896]

Except for Chandler, seems that this team does not have fire

Aberdeen had fire in Florida, seems less and less care as season goes, probably negative affected by the whole environment

 

[MbergCat]

I really like Moreno, but I wanna see him go after blocks more often.

 

[RunninRichie]

Except for Chandler, seems that this team does not have fire

Aberdeen had fire in Florida, seems less and less care as season goes, probably negative affected by the whole environment

They got paid.

 

[anon1790746896]

Why other top paid teams can have paid players having fires..

They got paid.

 

[ala_kat2]

Moreno hitting his foul shots. Iw

 

[Catlogic1552]

It aint like he didn’t TRY to recruit them, he just didn’t get them.

Then that’s a problem in and of itself.

 

[bigblue1971]

Except for Chandler, seems that this team does not have fire

Aberdeen had fire in Florida, seems less and less care as season goes, probably negative affected by the whole environment

I kinda see why Florida let Aberdeen walk..

 

[bbnkat02]

Why do CBB refs suck so much ***?

What a ******** call!

 

[bbnkat02]

Three straight ticky tack bs fouls. Someone has money on this.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

moreno crop dusted in the paint and chandler beaten back door. but lets talk about oweh's body lanuage....

Are you happy with OO’s play, from game 1 to this one?

 

[RunninRichie]

I kinda see why Florida let Aberdeen walk..

They didnt. Golden was pretty pissed. I promise you Oats and Golden are using the failures of Mo D and Denzel at UK against Pope and staff. In recruiting.

 

[bbnkat02]

Thank you Oweh....THAT is what we need you to do.

 

[UKortho]

TV guy sounds like Chris Collinsworth

 

[DelkBowl]

I would be okay if Oweh was the 3rd man off the bench

 

[bbnkat02]

THAT is the Oweh we need.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

00 looking a lot better this game now. That’s the type effort we need from him.
