***** Official Bama vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[TankedCat]

never get tired of seeing a 3 point shooting team left alone at the line while our 6'5" guy is under the basket helping our 7 footer

 

[ChicagoCat90]

It seems auburn was more cold shooting than great defense

 

[TheDude73]

If Edwards can give us consistent rebounding and a handful of points I’d be fine if he stayed on the floor.

 

[tls]

Lots of energy. Very good sign. Gotta stay hot to compete.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

2 minutes and sub. Cal is an idiot. Playing devils advocate how is Cal starting these guys only to yank them helping anyone’s confidence? Cal is destroying the team with this idiotic starting lineup. Wagner has to be feeling so much pressure knowing the immediate hook is coming.

 

[KYExtemper]

We need to stop the help defense. If you get beat, oh well. You can't just leave all these shooters open in modern basketball. They are going to kill you.

I told you it will be a shootout. First to 100 baby.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Reed is cooked defensively

He’s an elite defender!!!!!!

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Completely different team after the subs. Cal is a moron

He starts the wrong players constantly

 

[Kingslayer07]

I like this lineup. Let Z play through mistakes

Cal won't.

[Farsight]

I missed the first 5 minutes. Was the starting 5 crap again?

 

[Drcats2025]

one scorer vs alabama. if you support cal you are a freaking idiot

Dude. You’d be surprised just how many idiots are out there.

 

[ala_kat2]

Why doesn't Thiero take some of those open threes? He's a better shooter than DJ.

That’s not saying much.

 

[HenryMuto]

I like this lineup. Let Z play through mistakes

Z with the travel his 1st touch sigh

 

[sefus12]

Crazy to think, but does Edwards give us more than Wagner at this point?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

There is no damn reason to cheat the paint in this game.

 

[TortElvisII]

Get to the choppa!

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

A Duke player got hurt in the court storming. You can guarantee that ends court storming

 

[rick64]

I missed the first 5 minutes. Was the starting 5 crap again?

Same old lineup.

 

[G-PIP]

"Over-help" a good one word to describe a big part of our defensive issues. Along with ball-watching and 3 guys going for the same blocked shot.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Calipari has to keep his starting promises.

Why could he bench Bradshaw but not Wagner and edwards?

 

[megablue]

Our lack of offensive rebounding will hurt this game. They will grab and go …

 

[Yardeth]

You cannot leave them wide open from 3, they will make every one they throw up. Especially today in rupp

Every team every game

 

[Cbbcrazy2]

Huddle up guys, I'm going start the same lineup as always. I know you can't score and the ball gets stuck a lot but we will give them a lead and see if we can catchem. Rob you and Reed be ready I'm sure we will need you as soon as we get behind. Gotta let my high picks get some minutes you understand I know.

 

[ala_kat2]

Of all teams you can't leave guys wide open for 3 this is it yet there they are shooting wide open 3

Its partly because they drive it well also

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Z with the travel his 1st touch sigh

Let him play through

 

[IYAOYAS1]

A Duke player got hurt in the court storming. You can guarantee that ends court storming

100%

Glad they lost tho 🫢

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Z with the travel his 1st touch sigh

Only been about 5-6 not called so far .. for both teams

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

He’s an elite defender!!!!!!

At getting steals yes. At guarding his man and staying in front of the ball he is not

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Z with the travel his 1st touch sigh

That was a high arcing pass in to traffic. Bad pass by the guard

 

[TankedCat]

I like seeing Z out there but he can't just trot up court. Bama was uncontested because he was 15 feet behind them on defense

 

[katwest]

I just don’t think they can hit like this all day, I just don’t. But right now they have had open shots, we don’t seem to know where everyone on the floor is, better defense will affect their wide open shooting.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

100%

Glad they lost tho 🫢

Only 1 ... I jest

 

[jameslee32]

Z doubles and Bama layup
Z layup
Dilly Dilly Dilly!!!

 

[HenryMuto]

Z leaves his guy and he gets a dunk......I love Z but man

 

[bbnkat02]

Getting killed in the paint.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Yeah the only time Kentucky will get stops today is if Alabama just misses, bama is gonna cook them all day

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Z WITH NO D

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

They put Reed and Z in 3 ball screens that possession
