Not able to watch, why is this close?

We came out flat because who tf are we even playing?, and to start the game these nobodies were hitting the regular BS threes that we see happen all to often, while we couldn't buy a bucket.

Things corrected themselves and we went from I think 11 down with ten to go to up 8 at the half.

Nice bounce back to be up at the half. I like what I see with this team so far. Developing some depth will pay off in March,

Reeves should be getting the most shots no matter what is going on with the other players. It shouldn't just be when others are cold.
Unless our guards are consistently getting to the rim I agree, reeves should be having to create his own shot, the othe 3 guards should be getting him open looks and creating

Did you see that? Sheppard knew it was close to a 10 second violation, so he walled up right at the half court line so his guy would need an extra moment to cross it. Unless that was just coincidence, that was genius.
Kid can play defense. Wonder where he learned it?

Need him to get some points though.

Very hard to judge this game since we are only playing with half a team. 5 of our top 7 right now are freshman. I am not real concerned

Reeves shouldn't have to constantly create his own shot. This team doesn't seem to realize who their best shooter is or don't care who it is.
I don't think he does have to. He just chooses to.

He's had several catch and shoot threes in the flow of the offense that have been wide open. He needs to be more patient.

ugly first 8 minutes but really played hard af the last 12 minutes and considering we are miss 4 bigs I like an 8 pt lead as it will eventually be a 28 pt win or so. The best thing about this team regardless of if they are hitting shots or not at the moment is they just don't turn the ball over . DJ , Shep and Dilly ( the 3 ball handlers ) really take care of it well for freshmen.

Halftime At RUPP

Cats: 38
Lions: 30

Ugly Ugly UGLY half of basketball. We're lucky to have the lead if we're being honest.
UK can't find much offense outside of Reeves. Reed playing strong D. Edwards with a couple of good plays. That's about all you can say right now.
Im sorry to disagree but aggressive defense and a no quit attitude is why we are up. The hit for or 5 threes then butkiss.

You have to play who's in front of you. Coming out flat like that has become a bad hallmark of UK teams here lately. It's good to see we answered, but dang that's always frustrating as crap to watch.

The defense was def. stepped out. But our offense still looked like hot garbage. Need to put up MEGA points this half. I don't think we can take a season of rock fights with this group. Nor should we.

Seems too easy to hurt yourself/ruin your hair running into some scissors at a Sportsclips watching a Kentucky game with all the ups and downs going on.

We can’t start that poorly against Kansas, we might get run out of the gym.

Tre AND 1.
Defense sucks.
DJ with another crazy shot. Have to make them or it looks really bad.

Are you sure about that? Cal traditionally reduces his lineup to 8 or so players late in the season.
