Of course he hits that.

 

[HenryMuto]

Probably need to guard the wide open dude from 3. Really want to win this game.

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

the switching defense must stop

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Hello? defense?

 

[tls]

Brooks with the D lol

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

ND is supposed to be a horrible shooting team lighting it up from deep.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

chance to gain some momentum, stretch out a lead, wide ******* open three, no one within 10 feet of him

 

[ukfan041]

Gotta hit FTs…

 

[Crawfords Corner]

How the hell did Oscar get that pass. Hes got the most amazing hands I can remember ever seeing.

 

[LmdCat]

Based on the way ND is playing, you would think that they are a good team.

 

[megablue]

Sadly, we are not good enough as STOPPERS on defense to shoot poorly, especially from three, and beat good teams.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Brooks LOST on D for that ND 3. Joke.

 

[Kingslayer07]

We are intentionally keeping them in the game I swear to god..

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Cal needs to send Huggy Bear $$$. Big Man has saved his *** this season.

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Keion gets lost on defense more than any player on the team, and it isn't even close.

 

[BBUK_anon]

Pedestrian......

Any team who has a modicum of talent and an X and O coach can give the Cats all they want.

 

[VA/UK]

Brooks is so clueless.

That was Allen. Joke

 

[bookerfan66]

Always!

It helps that we play terrible defense.

Brooks set a MEAN screen on Ty Ty to get the ND kid WIDE OPEN.

 

[ukfan041]

Thank heavens for Oscar!

 

[Tim Higgins]

Where’s TyTy this half we are going to need him

 

[ScottGreene22]

We’re young it’s early

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Cal’s teams usually play tough defense....

 

[hotelblue]

let a team hang around the entire game. they were begging for us to take a decent lead and we literally didn’t want it. every time we got up 4 we took a bad shot.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Wheeler misses a ft despite 92%, brooks bricks a dunk that could have put uk up 7 with a ft conversion and then he leaves dude open for 3.

For all the experienced players I'm seeing the same pucker at the ft line as the frosh over the years.

 

[ala_kat2]

Actually, Tshiebwe was the reason ND got that wide open three, cause he didn’t “switch” right. I wish Cal would have them cheat out on those picks and then rotate back to their man instead of switching everything.

 

[RoyKent]

ND +18 points from three. SMFH

 

[RunninRichie]

This team is full of role players. 24-26 wins and a sweet 16.

When compared to our 1/15.. lol

Shows you his head is not in the game

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

UK 1-15 from 3. TyTy hasn’t scored in the 2H. Wheeler missed a FT. Allows Brooks to take horrible shots. Grady has no open looks. This just feels like a loss. Wiped last year out of my memory but two years in a row to bad ND teams is just too much for Cal. He seems washed up to me.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

-18 from 3

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

We aren’t though

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

the switching defense must stop

never going to stop. Wisconsin just ran action in 2015 (knowing UK switches everything) until they got the matchu they wanted. Cal is consistent if nothing else.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Oh, I don't know.... How about run some plays to get the ball into our actual best shooters' hands in a position to shoot?
Or play two or three shooters at a time so the opponent can't cheat off of the guys who are known to be less-than-average shooters?
And yeah, I don't want some of these wide open players to be taking wide open threes when they shoot less than 30% from the perimeter. They might as well just step on the baseline/sideline - same result.

I haven’t checked lately but at one point we were 0-12 from 3. Mintz and Grady was 0-6. So our best shooters were getting and missing open shots.

 

[VA/UK]

Where’s Ty Ty?
