No Defense or Discipline

[RexShepcat]

The coach needs to get a handle on both!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Neither you nor anyone else had any doubt those last 7 mins. Let's be honest.

 

[Runt#1969]

Maybe the guys will hear and read enough of the defensive criticism to actually care to play defense.

I don't recall

I don't recall a Pitino team quitting like that or getting slack like that.

Hard to when you get a tech, get a foul called for doing nothing. Get hacked on the other end with no call. It was BS effort and criminal refs that caused that to be a non 20 point win.

 

[hoggwildcat]

61pts in 2nd half wow

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

That last 7 mins is why Kentucky is very vulnerable in March

 

[IowaMuse5]

To go from a 25 pt lead to a 7 or lead in 7 mins is a bit…frightening.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

A total lack of focus from Calipari down

 

[RexShepcat]

The lack of defense has been the whole season.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

105 points is why they could be really dangerous in March though.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

It is but you can’t rely that, especially since games slow down in March and become half court games

Do wha? We gave up 61 points in the 2nd half to offensive power Georgia. That's GD atrocious. Expect better.

 

[Mike-D]

A total lack of focus from Calipari down

Yeah and I'm done reading people defend the ****. The defense has been trash all year.

 

[Basil Cat]

A total lack of focus from Calipari down

I don’t think he lost focus. I just think he doesn’t know what to do.

In a perfect world, they'd play better D. The game was never in question. We checked out. Yes, it would be great if they continued playing hard to the end. I think the mindset will be different by March

 

[senonesy]

Are you guys serious in this thread? My goodness I hope not.

 

[Mike-D]

Are you guys serious in this thread? My goodness I hope not.

No it's all for fake. Like our defense the last 10 minutes.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Are you guys serious in this thread? My goodness I hope not.

They let Georgia score 96 points and made a blowout close, yes we are serious

 

[senonesy]

It is but you can’t rely that, especially since games slow down in March and become half court games

You don’t think they will be more focused in March on defense? C’mon now. This game was well in hand and they slacked off. It is what it is.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Some of you just say stupid crap because your basic knowledge of the game is the ball is orange and black and certain shots are worth x amount of points. No tolerance for that tonight.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

You don’t think they will be more focused in March on defense? C’mon now. This game was well in hand and they slacked off. It is what it is.

They don’t even attempt to guard anybody and get beat off the dribble every time. I believe the intensity will be up in more serious scenarios but this game should have been 105-80 not 105-96

 

[Basil Cat]

Stupidity

 

[UKWildcats1987]

March isn't all half court games either. 96 and 98 didn't slow it down. 2012 played fast a lot of ncaa games. This year's team won't either.

You are claiming those that are concerned about giving up 96 to GA at home don’t have a basic knowledge of the game ???

No wonder other fans mock us.

 

[Mike-D]

This. But figure out the GD defense, and stop running a lottery system to switch your lineups Cal.

 

[Random UK Fan_rivals71127]

get beat off

If you don’t understand what happened in the last 10 min or so of that game and are really seriously concerned about it, then you 100% have no knowledge of the game

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

The officials were responsible for 10 UGA points down the stretch.

 

[Mike-D]

It's time for Cal to tighten the rotations down a bit, if we are gonna take the next step defensively. I can't watch Georgia types score damn near 100 on us in Rupp anymore.

61pts in 2nd half wow

e are not that bad of defense team, ask the coach.

What do I need to understand? We allowed GA to get back in this game. At home. With 7-foot generational talent having a big night.

You’re gonna understand in March when we go home on the second weekend or before when we have an off night offensively. Defense can show up every night. Offense can go in a minute and boom it’s over.

 

[Padsfs07]

Dude we were up 28. It was never in doubt.

 

[Mike-D]

Dude we were up 28. It was never in doubt.

Oh okay

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Dude we were up 28. It was never in doubt.

And they let them back in the game

 

[plumdog69]

March won’t slow this style down. We need to make the other teams shots more difficult.

 

[RexShepcat]

So what happened at the UNCW game? It just takes one game in March when you have an off game shooting and a consistently bad defense to go home for the season. If we had a really good defense we would be unstoppable, but we are far from that.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Better find a way to stop our big from getting sealed off under the basket because every single team is gonna do it the rest of the year. A&M gave the playbook and apparently they didn’t address it at practice

They don’t get it. They are mesmerized by scoring 90+ per game. We will see who has no knowledge of the game.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

March won’t slow this style down. We need to make the other teams shots more difficult.

March madness games are half court, very few fast breaks, this is the team that can go against this
