Game thread Canada vs Kentucky

[kywildcat1021979]

Sheppard caused back-to-back turnovers and had a beautiful corner pass to Wagner.

The kid is a player.

2023/2024 Defensive Stopper!!!

 

[rob_47]

Reed is sooooo good. Amazing hands and just so good at reading opponents passes. He really does it all

 

[TheDude73]

If you can’t admit they are playing good then nothing will ever make you happy with Kentucky basketball

Note the handle. Ends in "KU".

This clown is a Kansas fan lurking because they are butthurt we are in this summer gig and they aren't.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Guys we have 9 guys that can play high level ball.

 

[outlaw77]

Has Dillingham played any?

Yes, started and played well. Nice passing

 

[Nuke99m.]

These refs must use a Canadian clock on their counts. Several 5 second and the 10 second in these last couple of days. They seem fast.

It's the metric system.

 

[ukgold]

Can someone give score, and tell me who’s scoring for our Cats? Sounds like Shep playing good. Is his shot falling g at all?

12 points

Much better thanks.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Seems the Cats are playing well early without having 2 main pieces available. Not watching tonight so... keep the updates coming guys....

 

[Shaudylo]

I have a theory that if you have a kid in the top 150 of any recruiting class who is a legacy player, you always take him.

Steph and Seth Curry
Anthony Mason Jr.
Glenn Robinson Jr.
Glen Rice Jr.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Nolan Smith
Jamal Mashburn Jr.
DJ Wagner
Mike Bibby
Devin Booker
Jalen Brunson
Gary Trent Jr.
Jerami and Jarian Grant
Xavier Henry
Gary Payton Jr.

The list goes on and on and on.

You take the legacy kid.

Why Tubby didn't embrace this philosophy in the 2000s is beyond me. Steph Curry could have saved his career.

Wasn’t Xavier Henry the guy that John Wall said he wouldn’t play with ?

 

[outlaw77]

Going to be hard to keep Sheppard off the floor. Great instincts.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Reed Sheppard is an ATHLETE!!!!

He is so good at timing and anticipation. He is going to play A LOT!!!

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Shepard is gonna be awesome here

Every title UK has had at least one native Kentuckian played a key role.

Hmmmmmmm…..

Yeah he’s very aware on the court. Wagner is gonna be a flat out stud, he can get to the middle of the floor whenever he wants and draw everyone.

 

[UKrazycat2_rivals]

If you guys are getting excited for these games I feel bad for you. These teams are awful.

Get up under the floor and let your pups suck.

The message boards new biggest loser has arrived to the thread.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

How’s Thiero doing tonight?

 

[HagginHall1999]

Selfishly, I really hope Reed isn't a OAD.

Thanks. Appreciate the link.

 

[UKrazycat2_rivals]

Reeds instincts on D are just impeccable, I don't see how he sits.

He won't.

get a good shot blocker and I like this team a whole lot

 

[Wildcat3232]

Reed has just become my favorite player on this team. I like them all but Reed is making it fun again.

 

[chroix]

Canadian rappers are the real losers tonight.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Selfishly, I really hope Reed isn't a OAD.

He won't be. Sheppard and Thiero will be our fan favorites over the next few seasons.

I love it. These guys are absolute dogs.

Thank you so much very much appreciated. I was going to stay up and watch the tape delay but at 43 years of age that’s just a little too late for me lol

 

[ukjenning44]

Perfect team for Cal. Can create for themselves.
He just needs to roll the ball out. Haven’t had a team like this in a while.

 

[Shaudylo]

Has Dillingham played any?

Played most of the first but none of the second qt. He looked good on offense . He made the right plays and had a couple assist back to back to Reed

 

[WilmoreCat]

49-34 at the half.

Sheppard leads with 12 points on 4-7 shooting

 

[chroix]

Wasn’t Xavier Henry the guy that John Wall said he wouldn’t play with ?

I’d never heard that. Always seemed to me like Henry was the critical missing piece that season.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Wow Sheppard leading scorer so far way to go #15……

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Selfishly, I really hope Reed isn't a OAD.

Luckily he’s kinda flown a bit under the radar especially as the NBA is concerned. I hope he stays 3 years and is a flat out baller who mimics his father when it matters most.

There is a link above, you can watch it live if you wish

Snow has been a loser his whole life

 

[Burly]

I new Sheppard was under valued because of where he played high school ball but there was no doubt in my mind he was as good as any Freshman we have this year
Kid is just fantastic all around player
Love to be his NIL agent
Going to be a lot of little boys named Reed in the State

 

[mcwildcats04]

Reeds instincts on D are just impeccable, I don't see how he sits.

They really are. Dude just keeps making plays on D. Even if his shots aren't falling, doesn't matter. And once his shots start consistently falling....

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Has Dillingham played any?

Yes but picked up 2 quickies

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

These games have been really fun so far.

This team could do a lot to make BBN come together. Between the stud freshmen, the updated offense (hopefully) and Sheppard/Thiero, Cal could turn this thing around with a solid run over the next four or five years.

 

[jameslee32]

I don't care if Reed even scores at this point. What a force!

Wasn't Bernard Cote from Canada as well?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I swear, 10 o’clock feels so late most nights now.
