**KENTUCKY vs UT GAME THREAD**

[RunninRichie]

Tennessee hot from deep. Meanwhile we miss open 3s

 

[ck-2]

Exactly. It’s not just stand around passing it back and forth up top. Cal runs a less sophisticated offense than most average high schools.

Still waiting on Sharpe to learn it lol.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

No one likes to hear it but Wheeler isn't FF PG material.

 

[WildmanWilson_rivals]

Tn with much better ball movement than us.

 

[ukfan041]

Ewww-T getting whatever they want when they want

 

[Thunder Mash]

Wheeler is just a step behind his man around the three point line, and I think that's freeing them up a lot. Need to stick to these guys like glue.

 

[CatsFan4Evr]

Why can’t we guard the perimeter?

 

[KYWildCatsFan]

It’s just so frustrating watching teams get wide open shots against us but we RARELY get them.

 

[MbergCat]

UT couldn't play better. We can't play worse. Horrible combination this point in the season.

 

[bbnkat02]

UT shooting 57% from three.

 

[whack0001]

It’s unbelievable how teams just hit every damn shot against us

 

[nkuCATfan]

Must be nice to run sets and screens to get shooters open. That’s the difference. Barnes kills cal. He just knows how to beat him.

 

[DudahUK]

It does take making shots to win. Someone tell our coach

Is Cal out there shooting?

 

[IYAOYAS1]

They have frustrated Oscar and the offense is out of sync and Tennessee can’t miss from deep. Lot of adjustments need to be made.

 

[true-blue1]

Cats struggling…

 

[megablue]

The motion their offense has verses ours is sad.

They seem much quicker, unfortunately.

 

[Farsight]

These refs. SMH.

It's Doug Shows and Pat Adams, what do you expect.

 

[GoNoles111]

If Grady doesn't find himself soon this team isn't winning anything.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Difference n the game is they hit their 3s and we don't.

 

[KentuckyStout]

They are absolutely killing us from three. They are splashing them, we are bricking them.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

they are the better team today. We apparently can’t guard the 3 or stop a drive. Couple that will not hitting from the perimeter. This is bad.

 

[oldsports_]

Grady another no show

 

[STL_Cat]

We looked scared.

 

[ck-2]

Seriously everyone shoots their best from 3 vs UK

Seriously we don’t guard it.

 

[megablue]

They have frustrated Oscar and the offense is out of sync and Tennessee can’t miss from deep. Lot of adjustments need to be made.

We have to D-up and make a run !!

 

[LmdCat]

We wasted a good chunk of the first half playing 4 against 5. Makes no sense to have a guy on the court who is hiding from the ball. Mintz should have started the game.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

We can’t throw one in the ocean/ tenn getting wide open 3’s and draining them.

Why won’t this team give effort.
Went from top 10 Defense to 256

 

[DudahUK]

It's Doug Shows and Pat Adams, what do you expect.

Unfortunately, this. Ughh

 

[Bkocats]

Ugh

 

[rick64]

EewTee 4-7 3’s killing the Cats.

 

[ManOfManyNames]

2 seed it is.

 

[wldktz1]

Must be nice to run sets and screens to get shooters open. That’s the difference. Barnes kills cal. He just knows how to beat him.

It also helps when you can knock the crap out of players with no foul to get the ball.

 

[JimboBBN]

Is Cal out there shooting?

Sorry, I thought he was in charge of getting us good looks. My bad.

 

[gbl97]

Stand around and dribble. Go one on one. Force bad shot. Rinse and repeat.

 

[jessieshorts8]

No D,Wheeler out of control and Grady hiding.

 

[Bluespade44]

Must be nice to run sets and screens to get shooters open. That’s the difference. Barnes kills cal. He just knows how to beat him.

Yep Barnes knows the 3 is important. Cal still tries playing through the post.

 

[megablue]

We need a flurry of 3’s right now.

 

[jameslee32]

Seriously everyone shoots their best from 3 vs UK

Let's see if they got legs in the 2nd half.

 

[TheExhaustedOne]

If we hadn’t had our best offensive game in years then UT would have won at Rupp too and we’d be looking at 3 losses to them. For whatever reason they’re just better. Talent wise it shouldn’t be that way. That leaves one other thing, coaching.

 

[nkuCATfan]

Must be nice to have multiple 3 point shooters on your team

It’s bc they are wide open. They are running actual plays to get open shots. Something we don’t do for Grady and tyty. We just drive and fill in behind. Not too hard to guard the 3 on the kick out when they don’t have to pinch down bc wheeler can’t finish at the rim
