Cal is just shifting chairs on the deck of the Titanic that is UK basketball right now.

Nothing he does changes anything. It's his system and lack of talent.

Can't fix that with changing lineups at this stage of the season.

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.

UK was lost on offense when Wheeler was in there too.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Not a bad half

We are right in this game

 

[bookerfan66]

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

But Nate Oats sucks and can never compete with the great Cal.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

And now a word from our sponsor....

 

[LmdCat]

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

Why do most of you care about what happens to Wheeler? This is the player that most of you have been wanting out of the game any way. Now you got your wish, so stop complaining.

 

[HenryMuto]

Man this is bad. We were looking good for a hot second there went on a 14-2 run then Cal puts in Ware and Oscar together I mean JFC killed all the momentum and destroyed the game. I swear I have no clue what Cal is doing with lineups half the time and I honestly can't figure it out. Ware in Oscar out I can understand but how can they ever play together ? JFC we were rolling and he just destroyed it.

 

[Kats meow]

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

Yes. You could see him yelling for it at the timeout immediately after the play.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

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.

I’m one of the biggest Alabama and Nate oates haters on here so no I wouldn’t, and secondly you can take the if out of that becaus Alabama wouldn’t be tied, they would be winning by 8-10 points right now

 

[RoyKent]

Oscar with no shots the last 15:30 of the half. That simply cannot happen

 

[Crawfords Corner]

This is the Gigli era of Kentucky basketball.

 

[wkucat88]

Bama up by 52 on Vandy.

 

[HenryMuto]

Why do most of you care about what happens to Wheeler? This is the player that most of you have been wanting out of the game any way. Now you got your wish, so stop complaining.

Can't have both him and Wallace out together you just seen why.

 

[wccat]

What boring basketball you have brought to our program Cal!

 

[Midway Cat]

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

Kentucky's all-time record against Ole Miss:

109-14

Ole Miss has 4 wins against Kentucky this century (4-24).

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

If anyone wants to see a good game tonight, Lakers n Knicks in overtime are in a battle.

 

[ukatecowboy_rivals]

Hey Toppin, USE that 47 inch Vertical to get a FREAKIN REBOUND!!!!!!!! No

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.

If that happens we get beat by 14. Fredrick can’t make anything and every time O gets it he is triple teamed

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

Can someone calm Cal down?

No.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Every game cal sees Kentucky go on a mini run and absolutely kills the run with terrible subs

 

[mhroe1984]

hey, we can still win the SECT and get that automatic bid.

 

[HenryMuto]

Not to be over dramatic but it really feels like our season comes down to these 20 minutes.

 

[Lazlo7]

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.

Did the same thing last year until the wings were broken

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Oscar would have 25/12 toight with a decent coach.

 

[rivercatinfl]

They aren't robots!

 

[kyjeff1]

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

If he doesn't have his quickness and speed, there's no way Cal can put him out there. He’s a net negative player at 100%, if he’s anything less than that, we'd be screwed if he played.

 

[ck-2]

This game is a PRIME example of why Thiero should’ve been getting minutes all season.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

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

What do we do coming off of a loss? We are tied in a rock fight at the half with all mighty Ole Miss 32-32!

 

[KyCatFan1]

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

He definitely said goal but couldn't tell the last part. Or he was telling someone to go.

 

[richbrookstomato]

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

Ole Miss is allowing Toppin to shoot whenever he wants and he is, just can't make enough of them.

He should have 10+ pts by now, but has only 6.

 

[TankedCat]

Why do most of you care about what happens to Wheeler? This is the player that most of you have been wanting out of the game any way. Now you got your wish, so stop complaining.

oooh...tell them how Livingston sucks too!

 

[rick64]

Hey Cal!! When the NPOY has only 4 FGA, something is really wrong with your offense.

 

[TankedCat]

Not to be over dramatic but it really feels like our season comes down to these 20 minutes.

until we suck in the next game

 

[26MichaelUK]

This is the Gigli era of Kentucky basketball.

So accurate lol

 

[LmdCat]

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.

It is crazy to have the size and athletic talent in big men on your bench and yet be unable to figure out a way to coach them up to use them periodically during games. Once again, it serves as evidence that Cal is clueless. I am certain that opposing coaches look at Kentucky's bench and are thankful that they don't have to deal with their size and athleticism.

 

[megablue]

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

It is hard to set a good screen for a slow player. Defense can beat you to/through the screen.

 

[megablue]

Oscar has only taken 4 FG attempts.
That is unacceptable.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

At this point just win, it’s going to be ugly either way

 

[CaptainBoogerBuns]

Kentucky's all-time record against Ole Miss:

109-14

Says more about Ole Miss and it’s basketball priorities than how good UK is
