Robinson looks like he has never played basketball before. Way out of his element.

He looks like he knows he’s a claimer playing against stakes horses.

 

[blackcat714]

Jaxon not as good as i expected so far

 

[Henogee1975]

I guess it’s obvious why Jaxson didn’t go pro

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Coach K's Nipple is exactly the type of recruit that we need for popes system. Heck of a player.

 

[mash_24]

We’re only down 5 guys. And defense showing some adjustments.

 

[CrazyCat74]

I don’t understand how no one can stop this un athletic white kid.

Reminds me of Jeff Hornacek.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

They really shouldn't subject other Blue Bloods/elite programs, of having to listen to Bilas when they play Duke (and Jay in the studio).

Bills can call ACC games and when they play random OOC opponents.. but for playing UK or Kansas or Uconn or Bama.. maybe give us an unbiased person calling the game.

Bills has gotten worse, consistently, over the last 15 years. His aging brain can no longer help in hiding his Duke fandom.

 

[FirewithFire]

Well, I'm out. Morning comes early. I still say this team figures it out and will be dangerous come March.

 

[bbnkat02]

Man, I hoped we were done seeing **** clock violations

No criticism of Pope, but man if I were coach, running would happen for every one of those. Especially with no shot.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

K Nipples a solid player , very good

He is a cookie cutter Wiski player.

 

[Fadhi]

Whats up with Jaxon? Why is playing so soft?

It's the reason why he isn't in the NBA already

 

[SemperFiCat]

Man, I really don't want to dump on the kid, but Robinson is giving this team absolutely nothing tonight. In fact, he's actually hurting it. Again, tonight. We'll see if he can figure it out.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

Robinson is a headcase tonight

Wow, JR. rough game so far

Sorta, but in my mind, the main limitation in his game is ballhandling... I haven't thought he has demonstrated good ball skills even against inferior competition. I don't think he is going to beat many people off the bounce.

 

[sam_o]

Robinson looks like a catch and shoot guy and less of a go get a basket guy

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Robinson was abducted by aliens before this game and has his soul replaced by BJ Boston's.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

If I don’t hear Mr Nipples name the rest of the year I’d be fine with that.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Just keep it within 1-2 possessions

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

Robinson just doesn't have the handle to make that play

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Freaking Knueppel killing us.

Everyone expected Flagg, then he kills UK. It reminds me of when Trevor Keels torched UK.

 

[tls]

It’s obvious the Cats are one “man” short.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

I would rather see Trent Noah on Knueppel at this point …..

Kind of tongue in cheek but JR is giving us nothing

 

[crxohio]

We are playing better, Robinsons handles are rattled tho. We got to apply more effort.

 

[ala_kat2]

Robinson is a headcase tonight

He has no ability to put it on the flour and score, it seems. Duke just in his face and he can’t do anything about it. Both Duke’s freshmen are better than anyone on our team.

 

[CrazyCat74]

I thought I read where Robinson is draftable?

 

[Fancatstik]

I like Carr.

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

Flagg is very good, but Kneuppel is the best player on Duke's squad.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Feels like we should be down by 12 to 14 points right now. We're fortunate to be in this game. We have zero flow.

 

[DraftCat]

Robinson just doesn't have the handle to make that play

Kind of what we feared there isn't anyone on this team that can go get a shot.

 

[bbnkat02]

It’s obvious the Cats are one “man” short.

Yep. What I said, "Do we have a GUY?" We do not.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

Probably time for Brea to spot Robinson. Just not his night.

Brea wasn't giving much offense and was getting used and abused on the defensive end, though. Not sure what the right answer is right now.

 

[LmdCat]

Could be strike one for pope tonight lol

We would certainly be doing a lot better if Cal was here. Look at the great job he is doing at Arkansas.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

I don’t understand how no one can stop this un athletic white kid.

Reverse Reed Sheppard effect

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

I guess it’s obvious why Jaxson didn’t go pro

Wasn’t his feedback he needed to improve his “handle”? It’s pretty evident tonight.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Best pass a UK player has made inside Commonwealth stadium all year. It's still Commonwealth to me.

 

[Broker]

we might get abused by SEC Athleticism

My fear is there are atleast 3 SEC teams with better defense than DUKE. BAMA, AUBURN, UGLY ORANGE. We may beat all three but they all have an elite defense.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Man, I really don't want to dump on the kid, but Robinson is giving this team absolutely nothing tonight. In fact, he's actually hurting it. Again, tonight. We'll see if he can figure it out.

Im willing to give all players a pass, for having ti play what is almost for sure the most talented team in the nation. Duke might have 3 lottery picks. So I can't be too upset if our guys are off, 3rd game of the season, trying to play this Duke team 5v8.

But yeah, I don't want to see bad habits or poor trends either.

 

[RunninRichie]

Bilas should be fired.

 

[Ash Williams]

I really don’t like Robinson so far this season. And I’m boggled what all the hype is about. I can’t think of a Cal player he reminds me of, but nothing is good so far.

Keldon Johnson. Lots of talent, smooth movement but underperformed generally.

 

[RobEStacy]

We are just missing that go to player. A bunch of really good role players. Just not a take over the game guy.. I still think it will be year 3 before we see what a real Pope team will look like.

 

[TortElvisII]

Almonor needs time.
