OFFICIAL KENTUCKY @ ALABAMA THREAD

[ManitouDan_anon]

If I was advising Oscar, I would tell him to start looking at the transfer portal. This isn't all Oscar's fault. His coach isn't putting him in a position today for success. He has never treated Oscar like this before. He is doing all that he can to embarrass him today. He is teaching Oscar a lesson to never call him out for yelling too much. He should know his players well enough to know that Oscar wouldn't be effective down low against Bama to which he should have come into the game with a different strategy.

Interesting take .. I doing think he's ( cal) doing it intentionally , Oscar is just getting so abused we cant play him ... I hope he only plays about 6-8 min in half 2 ... Oates PNR offense putting him in isolation on D is shredding us

 

[Bkocats]

Well, someone should finish the job by throwing his *** off the train.

FIFY

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Hell of an offense when your starters combine for 12 points in the first half. Wheeler and Reeves combined for 20 of the 24 points in the first half. If that ain't ****in embarrassing then what is?

Come on man if Dykes says there is nothing wrong with our offense then dang it there isn’t nothing wrong with our 24 point 1st half offense!

 

[ScottGreene22]

Wheeler and Reeves have 20 of KY’s 24 points. Both have 10 a piece

 

[LmdCat]

Maybe play oscar at the 3 & have him come off some curl screens

He could certainly put him out there with Collins for some high to low action. If the ball was passed to Oscar at the high-post with Collins on the court, he could throw to the rim off the double team to Colling playing well above the rim. This would at least prevent the double teams that Oscar is facing.

Cal's offense is so bad, Ellen isn't gonna give him no *****. He will be slapping his belly for the next month.

 

[TheDude73]

Look foward to the thread more than the games this year

I took last game off from the game thread, and I was much more happy. I did that with Gonzaga as well and not commiserating helped my post-game depression!

 

[SophiesDad]

That wasn't even our worst offensive 1st half was it?

Bellarmine probably

 

[bbnkat02]

Calbois hanging on by fingernails.

And notice I actually gave credit to Cal earlier in our game thread for making some adjustments. So, I’m not a “Cal hater”. I just hate what he’s doing atm.

 

[sam_o]

That wasn't even our worst offensive 1st half was it?

Nah I would say Bellarmine was the worst

 

[pauled#1]

Did Wallace have two fouls?

 

[LmdCat]

FIFY

off = on

 

[TheDude73]

This team could lose in the first round. Probably actually has a second round ceiling unless they get hot and get to the sweet 16.

Hey maybe we could be the next St Peter’s!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Nah I would say Bellarmine was the worst

It was. Only 21 against them

Only had 25 at half against Gonzaga as well

 

[bbnkat02]

What’s your end goal here? Serious question because I don’t get the calling out of fans that have different opinions. Feels like politics.

The end goal is to point out the attitudes that contribute to the decline of our program.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Duke could be 5-15, would still be ranked and in the conversation for a 1 seed.

Can’t stand duke, but they’ve also beat a couple of top 25 teams. We literally have zero top 25 wins.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

OT can't play against a seven footer. Why even keep putting him back in. Goes in with lightweight sissy layups instead of dunking it. Not even being physical on defense. Just playing matadore defense.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

It's like that dream we've all had where you are riding around with hornygoatweed and the truck morphs into a rose parade float.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I just placed a live bet that Bama covers -10.5.

Hopefully it energizes our team when they hear about it.

 

[SophiesDad]

Did Wallace have two fouls?

Yes. The 1st “foul” was criminal though. If that was a foul then Bama’s entire starting 5 should be fouled out

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

I took last game off from the game thread, and I was much more happy. I did that with Gonzaga as well and not commiserating helped my post-game depression!

That’s probably a good move, but people are funny on here, and anybody who can joke about the crap we are watching is somebody I want to be friends with

 

[sam_o]

It was. Only 21 against them

Only had 25 at half against Gonzaga as well

Yep

 

[SophiesDad]

I just placed a live bet that Bama covers -10.5.

Hopefully it energizes our team when they hear about it.

Might as well make some money while we get dominated

 

[TortElvisII]

Nah I would say Bellarmine was the worst

Fla AM was no thing of beauty.

 

[RoyKent]

Bama + 13 in FT is the difference in the game. Ridiculous.

 

[TankedCat]

UK game still draws Nick Saban , who absolutely looks like he'd rather be home watching AFLAC commercials

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

I'm not sure of the wisdom of stating how great a game our PG has had when our total point output is 24 points in a half anyways

Dude has near 1/2 our points ... he's played well considering the ball gets stuck in his hands with 6 on there shot clock time after time after time .... its Cals fault IMO

 

[Crawfords Corner]

That's another big deficiency of this team. Getting to the foul line. Even then, when they get there, they miss a lot of them.

 

[bbnkat02]

Are COVID cancellations still a thing, one of those would be clutch for next Saturday

We ain’t lil bro. We don’t run from our *** whippings.

 

[katwest]

It looks like we are becoming the Alabama of old some really good athletes that look good at times but can’t be consistent playing good basketball. This not being able to score is driving people crazy. For one reason or the other we just can’t put the ball in the basket.

 

[HenryMuto]

"still within 11" like that is something great

 

[OmahaCats]

This team could lose in the first round. Probably actually has a second round ceiling unless they get hot and get to the sweet 16.

They are a bubble team. Who says they’ll make the tournament

 

[kyboy1998_rivals34276]

Chess vs Checkers

 

[KyCatFan1]

Can anybody name one thing this team does well? I legit can’t thing of one thing Kentucky does well

We miss free throws well. We play bad offense well. We get ourselves in bad mismatches well. Cal coaches terrible well. We use up shotclock well.

 

[Noxium322]

If only our defense could hold opponents to 23 per half we'd have a chance.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Lol we’re 28.5% from the FT line??

 

[sam_o]

Fla AM was no thing of beauty.

Lol nope. We could argue this all day we have had a lot of s*** offense to watch

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Alabama has come in with a fantastic game plan to exploit our weaknesses and take away our strength. have to admire that.

[tomrain]

This team could lose in the first round. Probably actually has a second round ceiling unless they get hot and get to the sweet 16.

I can see this team still not making the tournament
