I fear he might end up being like Ashton Hagans during the last half of that 2020 season.
GAME THREAD: UK V DUKE
- Thread starter Rupp'sRunt
- Start date
I think I’m sick of Cals style of basketball. I think.
For all WHeller giveith he also takeith away.
Competition between him and Moore for ugliest in recent memory.
This will be spun as a moral victory
Yep. Him and Banchero were the best players on the court tonight.
He’s a much better creator than Hagans but he’s a lil more out of control . Some of this is on Cal.
So far If Wheeler isn’t creating we have no offense at all
He made some bad decisions but we had a lot worse issues than Wheeler.
If it wasn’t for duke cramping we would have lost by 30
I just don't understand it, 3 plays in a row it seemed he just took the ball and was determined to shoot, then keels scores on the break and he comes down and tries to answer again, no offense just me ball.
Helluva game, we have a helluva team. Wait until those guys get it going.
Tonight might suck, but damn if you can't see the parts then you're not looking hard enough.

Defensive lapses killed us. Duke getting too many uncontested attempts. Rushed offense. Forcing shots. We have a lot of room for improvement. As usual, Duke is not going to get a lot better. You gotta love the effort and intensity we showed at times.
Man, I hope Cal gets a handle on Wheeler and Tyty.
Tyty is Boston 2.0. Wheeler is just trying to do too much. He is way out of control, but at least he's trying, I don't know what you call Tyty's effort tonight. He looked just like Boston to me.

17 points
19 rebounds
Does he already lead the nation after 1 game? Great effort. How about only drawing 1 foul in the 2nd half. Oscar can defend without fouling.
Gotta get him help down there though. Somehow someway.

Then after a timeout he had a turnover that was unforced . Terrible night hopefully he learns from it .
This is my take, yeah they had Banchero cramping, but if we can clean up the dumb **** I think we've got a good team. Oscar was incredible.
I mean, how many layups did duke get? Especially in the second half? A zone defense shuts down those driving lanes. Play a 1-3-1 with Big O on the baseline to rebound. Not that difficult. I don’t think we pressed them even one possession.
I agree with you. Duke is about where Duke will be all year. We have a TON of room for improvement and we finally have the right parts. They'll get to working together.
I'm sure your comment will be met with fanatics saying we are the worst team ever. My sincere heartfelt apologies for future commenters.
We have a lot to work on but how can anyone say we look like last season?
Duke won't win the title.
By March this UK team will be as good as anyone. Mark it down

The game was teetering on a blowout for almost half the game except one run to cut it to 4 then back to teetering on a blow out. this was embarrassing. dont kid yourself
TyTy being off was too much to overcome. Then the 2nd half down 15 to fight to within 4 then Wheeler **** the bed. Why is Wheeler going into the tress time after time? All I know is this sucks. But I am impressed and feeling better about Oscar. Grady needs easier and more shots. Wheeler looks for too much hero ball instead of passing to open threats from deep.
As a Syracuse fan I love the zone and it has its place but Oscar would get half his normal boards in the zone and we'd give up 5 more offensive boards. Sprinkle it it when needed but aside from a couple stretches we were right there.
TyTy had a rough start, but a bit premature to label him Boston 2.0.
The negative pretending to be UK fans will make sure to not look very hard. They feed on trolling the board.
I think it's a force of habit that needs to be broken. He did that a lot at UGA because he was all they had. Instincts to help win kick in. It can be corrected.
Listen..It sucks *** to lose to Duke, but this team will have a shot in March..Duke is better than I thought
This is KY. Don't let the door hit your *** on the way out.
It sure is not Brooks ! 3 years at UK and not that good.
