OFFICIAL KENTUCKY @ ALABAMA THREAD

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Thiero playing hard, bringing the fight. I like it.

 

[JimboBBN]

Cal is such a weirdo lol

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Reeves needs to realize he's not Steph Curry and get set before shooting a three.

 

[the dopester]

Great response from our bench!

 

[fadkins82476]

Uh oh, Reeves missed, he'll be pulled now.

 

[bbnkat02]

and in the toughest road atmosphere we get Theiro ??????????????????? Damn Cal

Pressure on Cal is real.

 

[StubbornPenny]

Oscar can’t play this game. The bama bigs will eat him up. He’s always been iffy on defensive rotation but this year he’s been straight up BAD.

When he gets the ball it’s 5-1 and he never gets a call and we never take advantage of open guys.

 

[LmdCat]

I guess our brilliant coach is going to take out Collins. I guess Collins is demonstrating that he would be very valuable if given a chance. Cal can't have that.

 

[HagginHall1999]

At times this year we've actually looked better with Oscar out. He is one of my all time favs at UK and by no means am I trying to slight the guy- but we play a different style when he is out.

 

[ukdesi]

And your lack of a point is? If a defense can’t stop you why do anything else?

We miss those shots all the damn time!

Point is we gave them such easy shots, so to say they aren't missing -- not because of their offense or because they are on fire--that is the point.

 

[MWes11]

Gotta get Thiero more minutes. Dude is always around the ball and plays hard. Keep cutting into this lead.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

Floppy action has trouble penetrating

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Oscar is just different this season.Don't know what it is.

Could be the NIL money

 

[Randy Bob]

Oscar needs to be in the game

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Leave this lineup out there, they are playing hard and giving effort, and have gotten Kentucky a little momentum, why take that away with bad subbing patterns

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Best thing about Oscar being out is Alabama doesn't have their entire defense in the lane. With us trying to force the ball in there.

Exactly why Tshiebwe isn't and can never be a go-to guy. Offense looks much more fluid now

 

[G-PIP]

We're seeing clearly that Collins is a 5, not a 4.

If Collins can handle the physicalness he can cause problems at the 5.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Thiero needs to play about 25+ minutes a game. He hustles, he scraps, he tries. I miss that about past UK teams instead of depending on their number or stars by their name and talent. A little Gerald Fitch in his game.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Uh oh, Reeves missed, he'll be pulled now.

For whom? CJ is hurt and Wallace has 2 fouls.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Long athletic players eat Oscar up that’s why the NBA will be a struggle for him

 

[Burly]

Oscar is such a liability on defense - too much quickness in this game. Oats scouted him well don’t give Oscar Angles on offense just play behind him

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Okay! Back in this! Bama just can’t figure out how to rotate on Collins.

 

[fadkins82476]

Oscar is just different this season.Don't know what it is.

He got paid.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Thiero playing hard, bringing the fight. I like it.

When he goes out we won’t see him again.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Can't be true. Some on here swear Oats just had them jack up threes.

They do jack up a ton of 3s, which is what ends up being there downfall, but at times in the halfocurt oats does call good stuff

 

[G-PIP]

That rebound by Thiero was a man's rebound.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Oscar is just different this season.Don't know what it is.

He was great the last 2 games, he still struggles with length, with is exactly what bediako is

 

[UKUGA]

Oscar is just different this season.Don't know what it is.

His return is not exactly Tim Duncan returning.

 

[TortElvisII]

Well, we'll start forcing the ball back inside now and the offense will go to crap

 

[LmdCat]

Cal is mad at Oscar because he isn't 7-foot and can't jump well. What is Oscar thinking. I am sure he grew some while on the bench.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Oscar is so bad defensively on ball screens, literally the only way bediako beats you is on lobs

 

[bbnkat02]

Never thought I’d see Oscar tank is.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Oscar can’t play in this game just can’t

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Oscar coming out again uh oh

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Oscar. PRN roll again !

 

[blackcat714]

Oscar is getting punked

 

[Kingslayer07]

Oscar forgot to show up. My lord

 

[rick64]

Cal cut the offensive playlist in half???!!!

 

[bbnkat02]

Point is we gave them such easy shots, so to say they aren't missing -- not because of their offense or because they are on fire--that is the point.

You say that as we only have 11 points. Our offense is bad.

 

[ukfan041]

Oscar is getting abused
