Game thread Kentucky vs ole miss

[*CatinIL*]

Why is this game still close? Don't bother responding, I know why. I'm just venting...

 

[dickieVIII]

Someone named Reeves must have been HH's first verification today!

 

[richbrookstomato]

Hey Cal, you FINALLY figured it out!!!!

Let Reeves run the Pick and roll with Oscar!!!!

Make the defense CHOOSE!!!!


WOW!!! Took 2/3's of the season to figure it out!!!!!

 

[tls]

Frederick sucks right now, that’s a 5 foot floater guards should make that every time

True, but I don’t think he’s looking to score in that. He’s hoping to find O then has to shoot it at the last second. We’ve seen him lob to O several times when he was almost to the rim himself.

Just no confidence right now. He needs to talk himself up.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

If this offseason the staff doesn’t realize you can’t have a non shooting threat at the four and PG spot then I don’t know what to say anymore, just watching how terrible this spacing is and how easy Kentucky is to defend

 

[TheBlueMist]

We are the University of Antonio Reeves.

 

[SophiesDad]

Wheeler refuses to pass to Tshiebwe in the post. Just keep letting Reeves chuck it

 

[zannmann]

Reeves and Oscar should get the most shots every game.

 

[pauled#1]

Reeves is a sniper!

 

[WE WANT RICK!!!]

Replace Wheeler with Cason & your best 5 is on the floor right now!

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Thank God for Reeves. Cal didn’t bring him in at the Kansas game until the 11 minute mark….nuff said

And he air balled a three.

Bring it….

 

[kyjeff1]

We are down are starting pg.

That’s not how you spell "our".

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Cal would rather lose than play defense they don’t play in the NBA. ZONE!

I know it may not be good for the long term Development of this team, but I’d rather win tonight and worried about trying to get into the tournament so he should definitely play it but we know he won’t

 

[al.ksr]

and preserved in a quote.

Now that I have his number, I'm going to text to talk about Jesus.

 

[megablue]

Reeves is stroking it tonight...only wish he could make shots like this when UK plays marquee opponents.

Hopefully, he can really step up against the better teams .... obviously, he is capable.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Where would we be without Reeves?

In the cellar with the lamecocks...who beat us at home...

 

[sam_o]

Come on Cats

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

The one I’m talking about was a shot Oscar was behind

 

[bbanks81]

Reeves is hitting open threes, and we need to keep feeding him. CJ, once again, is not a UK caliber player. Kid would maybe get 10 mins a game for anyone in the top 10 right now

 

[ck-2]

Pick and roll. Pick and roll. We can't defend it

It’s been that way the whole time CCC has been here. It’s just magnified when you don’t have a rim protector erasing all the breakdowns.

 

[Farsight]

If Reeves is not hitting we would be loosing pretty bad lol.

I don't know how we regressed from our little burst.

Why does Cal not change defense to mitigate the pick and roll?

 

[wccat]

Will we ever see CJ and Reeves making shots in the same game this year?

 

[CincyUKFan]

Thank goodness Reeves is hitting his shots tonight.

Probably going to disappear when we play the two ranked opponents remaining on our schedule.

 

[HenryMuto]

No need to start Reeves we have so many other great players.................

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Reeves has to hit 3-4 more threes or this tea

Are you old enough to remember days of old when Ole Miss and MSU were totally automatic wins? They are probably on the whole better now than they were back then, but UK was on another level.

I’m 44. Yes. Been watching UK since I was 5.

 

[dickieVIII]

If you are going to say its Cal's fault that Frederick lost his shooting touch, then are you going to give credit for taking Oscar from a decent center and turning him into the NPOY?

 

[EliteBlue]

Our entire offense should be getting reeves the ball moving toward the basket and letting him be the volume scorer that he is. Let Oscar clean up misses and the occasional post. Toppin and Livingston crash the offensive glass as well and be ready for kick and drives of a reeves attack.

It’s coaching malpractice that we haven’t played through Reeves all year. Good things happen when he’s constantly shot searching and has the ball….we big down when we regulate him to being a catch and shoot guy or not set screens moving away from the basket

Let Reeves play the Brandon Knight roll and work off on ball screens etc

 

[SaltyCat22]

Wallace and Reeves need every second they can get. Fredericks can’t play here. Get him out for good.

Your Lord Cal says he is though. Cal recruited Ware and Wheeler to play basketball at Kentucky too. Johnny Johnny he’s your man, if he can’t coach ‘em, nobody can!

 

[TortElvisII]

That’s cuz the Bennies are forcing him to play Fredericks. Stubborn

Stupid is as stupid does.

 

[SophiesDad]

Reeves is what I thought Fredrick would be this year.

 

[Kingslayer07]

GRAB THE BALL!!!!

 

[CincyUKFan]

Will we ever see CJ and Reeves making shots in the same game this year?

I don’t know that you’re going to see CJ making shots for the rest of the year. So probably not. I think the dude is playing himself out of the lineup.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Grab the ball

 

[kyjeff1]

We lose so many GD rebounds fighting over the ball

 

[WE WANT RICK!!!]

Hey Cal, you FINALLY figured it out!!!!

Let Reeves run the Pick and roll with Oscar!!!!

Make the defense CHOOSE!!!!


WOW!!! Took 2/3's of the season to figure it out!!!!!

Wow it’s a miracle it just took 22 games! Don’t worry we won’t see it again rest of season

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

True, but I don’t think he’s looking to score in that. He’s hoping to find O then has to shoot it at the last second. We’ve seen him lob to O several times when he was almost to the rim himself.

Just no confidence right now. He needs to talk himself up.

Exactly. Fredrick is 0-2 tonight yet you would think he is 0-15. Steve Alford who scored 2,400 points for IU couldnt score in Cal’s offense.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Who would’ve ever thought we’re better with Reeves on the floor?

Apparently Cal does that’s why he starts on the bench every game

 

[CincyUKFan]

GRAB THE BALL!!!!

The dude who loves to get rebounds just watches the ball, go out of bounds…

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Half *** effort leads to a bucket for them

 

[wccat]

Toppin left his guy wide open on that oob play. How can that continue to happen?
