That’s why I can’t trust them in the SEC tournament and the ncaa tournamnet( if they make it) because cal will F **** up with terrible lineups

It's because of Cal. Even after a win we have to worry he will now play Wheeler 30+ and barely Reeves against ARK.
Spreading the hate at least. I don't hate anyone I can think of but I sure do not like Cal much... I can't fully fault the refs other than they are probably doing it for profit...
You can say Wheeler had a good game, but people always say that. We struggle when he plays a lot and play better when he sits. It isn’t a coincidence that we almost gave away a double digit lead by going back to Wheeler ball the whole second half. The guy is not a high D-1 level starter, and the entire game breaks down when he plays big minutes, no matter how he might look individually.
Games like this make it almost worse because he takes it as reinforcement that his style works.
Yeah I'm happy for the win but the return game at Florida will likely be a different outcome for us.
He did everything but give it away. We should have won this by 20.
Exactly and Wheeler is a liability at the line but who's Cal have in. I'm just glad Wheeler didn't get put on the line.
Wheels with a great game.
Oscar killed any momentum we had.
Oscar killed any momentum we had.
Did we even attempt 15 threes tonight?
We built a lead because we had a couple of guys that hit threes.
Cal still refuses to use the 3 ball as a weapon, even though we have 3 elite shooters.

Cal will be at the podium talking about how Wheeler won that game here shortly.
HE'S AN @SSHOLE. WTF is there to understand? He's a coach that uses his players to play politics, even if it costs games. How much wasted time and talent is he gonna blame on fans and/or a "young team" that he set up to be that way, when all the mf has to do is LOOK AT HIS FRIGGIN BENCH?! Cal is such a dumbass
CALs subs and him loving wheeler is what will end this team. The lineup should be Wallace, Frederick, reeves, toppin, Livingston and Oscar playing most of the mins, and wheeler and now Collins playing some mins, wheeler playing more and in the stretch over reeves is ridiculous
I just can't believe this is UK basketball now nd Cal thinks this is fine.
Kentucky hit 11 of 13 without him shooting one. I would rather have Wheeler handling the ball than Reeves, jmo.
Agree man, his BS is what is going to end the season, every coach in the nation knows reeves is better than wheeler and the Benny lineup should be playing 28-32 mins a game but cal is a stubborn *** and will be Kentuckys downfall yet again
Wheeler was good tonight. He was exactly what we need him to be most of the night. But to be playing him over Reeves in that last 4-5 minutes is pure stupidity.Cal will be at the podium talking about how Wheeler won that game here shortly.
This is one game when we should be thankful Wheeler was on the court. He certainly out played Oscar. The player who should have been on the bench is Livingston. Livingston people must have some arrangement with Cal, because he isn't out there because of great play or because Cal can hide him.
Cal loves when we have a lead and with Wheeler in everyone just stands around while the shotclock ticks down.
Totally agree, love Oscar as a person, plays really hard gets half his boards off of his misses, he is very limited on both ends imo not bashing
You rather have the chance of wheeler, who has missed multiple FTs in clutch moments, over a guy who is damn near automatic at the line. Nawh man, reeves has to be in FT time, he just has to be
Guys that never had their name called tonight will have 12 , 14 and 16 points , Casteton will foul Oscar out . They beat us by double digits ....... I'm joking .. but I bet they play a 100% better , I thought they were awful tonight and we should have won by 10-15 points
Because it’s Cal, man. Good God.
Wheeler did play good, he should never play more than reeves and be in over reeves in crunch time, Livingston played alright tonight, it doesn’t help that his people of cal won’t play him at the position he should be playing
It's Cal playing him. Oscar is going to play when the coach puts him in. Anybody thay competitive would. It's up to the head coach to recognize the situation and do something coaches do. Like ADJUST... oh wait... We're talking about Cal.
I agree we need to get those 2 more playing time, but since you posted it, it probably won't ever happen. Thanks a lot.
Should've gained 2 this week. Need a coach though
Wallace and Toppin won this game. CJ was pretty strong. It's not about Wheeler making a few shots its how flat the offense looks when he's out there for long stretches. Plus his liability on d. He's a bad FT shooter and had no business being out there to close out the game.
Cal is trying to fit a triangle piece and a square hole with this team, more wheeler is not the answer, he is a guy who can create and he strictly puts him in a corner, reeves can create from the middle of the floor and cal hardly ever lets him do it
Besides the layup, what did Livingston do for you to say he played well tonight. He launched another scud missile that nearly shattered the backboard. Livingston has done nothing since he has been here and it is unfair for fans to take shots at Wheeler while giving Livingston a pass. As least when Wheeler screws up he is trying to make something happen. I sorry but I just can't go along with the Livingston played well crap.
Mayhe that's why the press and refs hate him so much. He does such stupid things and yet still manages to get top recruiting classes. They have to be sitting there thinking, "Are you kidding me? Did you see him blow ___ season, choke against ___ last year, and keep ___ on the bench against ___? W.t.f...."
Livingston wasn’t terrible could he have been better yes, Livingston played good against Kansas then cal benched him. Wheeler did play well, but benching a creator/scorer for a team who struggles to score is crazy
