Game thread Kentucky vs ole miss

[rob_47]

Cj doesn't have the quickness to open himself up for shots

 

[SophiesDad]

They're doubling Oscar in the post. Everyone else besides Reeves is scared to death to shoot

 

[Kingslayer07]

Wallace needs to man up and play. Would take an army to keep me off the floor.

 

[GoNoles111]

Hate Wheeler all you want but Adou is obviously not better than him lol.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

We are in trouble. Wheeler was actually doing ok and we are lost on offense right now. Sorry we have a horrible half court offense we can't get anyone open we can't get Oscar the ball on the post we can't do squat right now.
We are in serious trouble.

Wheeler is gonna have to toughen up then, his ankle didn’t even turn all the way

 

[UK Cats1]

I miss the days when games against teams like Ole Miss were an automatic win!!

 

[CB3UK]

Hopefully Wheeler is walking it off and come out for the second half. A loss here would be absolutely brutal.

 

[HenryMuto]

We haven't had a legit title contender since 2019. That is also the last time we won a ncaa tournament game.

I don't believe this. We had one in 2020 never got the shot and we had one for sure last year.

You do realize we won by 18 at Kansas the team that won the title right ? yes we lost to Saint Pecockles but we had the talent for sure. We beat North Carolina by 29 as well.

 

[pauled#1]

Cal is telling them to force feed Oscar about right now!

 

[richbrookstomato]

Oscar is simply unmotivated to play defense or he has no earthly idea half the time what he is supposed to do.

He's getting WORSE every game too.

Even SCRUB players are schooling him underneath!!!

Put Collins under the goal and play a 2-3 Zone. But Cal would NEVER do it.

SAD

He's made of glass.Same as last season.

‘20 was.

 

[TankedCat]

halftime show talking about how our guys have no energy

 

[Kats meow]

People who get paid to call basketball games don't know the difference between goal tending and basket interference. SMDH.

We’ll, Calipari was complaining that it was goaltending.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

I can't believe that I was so excited about this team during the Bahamas.

As others always say, Cal wasn’t coaching and micro managing these guys into anxiety.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Might not be going this Saturday either.

I got a lot going on Saturday so I won’t be able to make that game but if he doesn’t want that Vandy game I’ll take those off of your hands.

 

[ck-2]

Maybe Cameron Mills will get things fixed at halftime. Na only thing he’s fixing these days is fixing to head to the buffet.

 

[Ugoff]

Dane Bradshaw makes valid observations. Maybe he could be a coach.

I beg to differ. Cried for goaltending on Thiero after Reeves had already deflected the shot. Called the ole Piss basket interference goal tending.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

He's made of glass.Same as last season.

Agree, that happens all the time in basketball, his ankle didn’t even turn all the way it’s basically a stinger, it will be numb but can easily play on it

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Maybe we should make an adjustment on this board and start a 2nd half game thread. This one just doesn't have it.

 

[katwest]

None of them look good and it looks like it doesn’t matter to them either.

 

[TankedCat]

turning your ankle with Cason out willl generate alot of "see we need Wheeler!" threads

wouldn't be surprised to see a miraculous recovery during the half

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Cal just can't win without a big time shot blocker. The guy who had the potential to be that can't get off the bench. Oscar is just terrible on defense.

Because he won’t adjust. He has always wanted the D to funnel to the lane which is just freaking stupid because it forces two wing defenders to stay home. Without a shot blocker it is a layup drill and which guy can play through contact better.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Take the jerseys from them, give them the phones back, and play the walk ons. Garbage no matter what.

 

[anon1751545683]

We’re a 2 man team with Wallace. Now we’re a 1 man team and they are triple teaming him.

No one will step up.

 

[JLoad22]

Wheeler is gonna have to toughen up then, his ankle didn’t even turn all the way

If Alabama was tied with Ole Miss at halftime and was down two guards, you’d fall all over yourself making excuses for them. You and many others.

 

[Ugoff]

We’ll, Calipari was complaining that it was goaltending.

It was basket interference, not goal tending. Did Calipari specifically say goal tending?

 

[ala_kat2]

Fredricks guy never leaves him. Face guards constantly. CJ is never going to be the guy to get his own shot and Cal will not run action to get him a shot. Dont know why Cal took him if he wasn’t going to use him correctly.

Cal doesn’t know anything but have Fredrick run around very ineffective screens and use up his legs. Let’s face it, Cal’s version of offense just doesn’t work without a John Wall type guard.

 

[DraftCat]

I honestly don't think Cal can coach.... he beat everyone to the 5 star one n done game but now that everyone has caught up... he's donzo

 

[sluggercatfan]

OM starters out...no problem. FRESHMAN step in and combine for 20.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

This is straight up nonsense. They have been running stuff for multiple games to get CJ shots. He just can’t make them. He has had WIDE open shots.

Not everything is Cal’s fault

Ok.

 

[pauled#1]

He's made of glass.Same as last season.

He’s in street clothes as much as AD!

 

[LmdCat]

How the hell can you use Adou as the opposing team's point guard in practice, but not give the kid minutes during each game? Either the kid is getting screwed or the starting team defense is getting screwed in practice by thinking they are good because they are successful in practice against a guard that Cal thinks isn't worthy of some playing time during games. Maybe this explains why the team plays such horrible defense. They are not being challenged in practice.

 

[megablue]

Immediately after Wheeler went out. I know the dudes not as good as Cason but he's better than you guys pretend.

Of course

Fredricks guy never leaves him. Face guards constantly. CJ is never going to be the guy to get his own shot and Cal will not run action to get him a shot. Dont know why Cal took him if he wasn’t going to use him correctly.

watch

They're doubling Oscar in the post. Everyone else besides Reeves is scared to death to shoot

i agree 100% .... Thiero and Livingston will drive to the rack and get to the line. Toppin and Fredrick cannot do so, unfortunately.

 

[TheBlueMist]

That will be Cal's post-game presser statement.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I can't believe this is what UK basketball has become.

Thanks to the a$$hat that’s the coach he has really sunk our program. I didn’t think it could get any worse than Eddie Sutton and Billy Clyde Gillespie but here we sit!

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Cal doesn’t know anything but have Fredrick run around very ineffective screens and use up his legs. Let’s face it, Cal’s version of offense just doesn’t work without a John Wall type guard.

According to some on here that is running “action“ for Fredrick lol! The next time a good screen is set will be the first.

Posted that earlier in the thread. Easy to see

 

[CrazyCat74]

Here's my locker room talk.

Get the ball to Oscar or Play high low with our 4 &5 in a half court. Shoot threes in transition with Reeves and Frederick, We win by 14.

 

[ukjenning44]

Bama up 85-34 on Vandy. That’s what you do coming off a loss!
