***OFFICIAL UK vs MISSOURI GAME THREAD***

[sambowieshin_rivals]

I actually opted to not watch.. part because I'm busy tonight with other work items, but also just didn't care much.

But I hope this is their last legs. At this point I'd rather see losses. Losses means no ones playing well and NBA stocks drop, and maybe it means Cal wakes up to make changes, or even, move on.

Winning at this point, is starting to not be worth it.

Just can't root against the CATS, but I get your point.

 

[TortElvisII]

I try to be as positive as just about anyone on this board without being over the top. It kills me to be so negative about the basketball program I love. That last possession of ours looked like something I have on video tape from when I was in the 4th grade.

You got any eligibility!

 

[TankedCat]

sorry if my post didn't make sense, I forgot I'm 30 minutes behind the actual game watching it on DVR. That is what happens when I"m mad

 

[TortElvisII]

Everyone damn one of yen, don't ask me or mine fer nothin' by God. You boys couldn't hit da broad-side of a damn barn. Hate to see the poor fellar in the dark trying to find a hole, shiiit farrrr...

Any doubt who this is?

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Dang to be honest how is Missouri rated this high.
To be honest they don’t look GREAT.... we just suck more than they do.

Only a handful of good teams. They have to rank someone to fill out top 25 I guess.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

BPI
UK = 68th
Missouri = 37th

etc.

 

[rick64]

Only stats UK is leading are blocks, TOs and fouls. Not that great of a recipe for success.

I’ve had the same thought during some games this year. I don’t want it for the kids, but I want Cal to get embarrassed so badly that it knocks some damn sense into him and forces him to adapt to the modern game.

 

[katwest]

I don't know what worse, losing to Missouri or Cuonzo Martin.

 

[FrankUnderwood]

@HerrosHeroes ? Sup broski?

 

[oldsports_]

It’s unfair. Askew is simply being asked to do what he’s nowhere ready to do. He’s a 4 year guy who is being expected to be better than he is right now because of this roster. He will be really good in a couple of years. But this roster needs him to be dynamite right now. With most programs he would be permitted to develop and get better over time. Not at UK

What are you smoking?
4 year guys don't reclassify.

 

[carolinacat]

Allen has to play too many minutes before he ends up with a good shot. He cannot MOVE !!

Might be some truth to that. However, most of our other guys are poor shooters who can "get their shot." Which do you prefer?

 

[TortElvisII]

You really need that.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Really the biggest difference in the game is a 28% three point shooting team went 7/11 from 3 in the first half.

Woo-hoo, we're ahead in 1 category.

 

[mdlUK.1]

We have too many players that are limited offensively. Ware works his *** off but you don’t have to guard him outside. Same with Jackson. Mintz is our best player but he tries to do too much at times. Maybe he has to. Starr is soft.

Well I can't see in the f--king thing. I can't breathe in this ----- thing, and I can't ride in this ------ thing.

 

[Bkone7466]

Ruuuuuuuun!!!!

Gooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Do we or have we practiced anything this year?

Honestly people would blast us but I'd be ok with opting out.

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

Allen feels so much pressure to shoot that he is now just throwing up shots without even trying to make them.

Exactly....Cal has effectively wrecked the only legitimate offensive threat he had

 

[TortElvisII]

Any chance we move into the top three in SOS after tonight?

 

[RunninRichie]

might have to whip out the Ronald McCal avatar boys....

 

[jessieshorts8]

I really can't blame Clarke if he opted out of this shitshow.

 

[G-PIP]

Rushing his shot because his Clown of a coach tells everyone that guys won’t shoot. Even tho Cal Doesent know what the f he’s talking about. So this is what you get with your dead eye shooter, contested shots.

I'm as big of a Allen guy as you're going to find. I was before he got to UK. I love his potential as a SF going forward. But he's going to have to speed up his game and become less timid. I think that'll come with experience, so I like to see him taking a few shots that were rushed to help get a feel for how playing quicker helps him in the long run.

 

[TortElvisII]

might have to whip out the Ronald McCal avatar boys....

I prefer the one where he's eating the ice cream cone but to each their own.

 

[jameslee32]

Cats scored 1 pt in the last 5 mins.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

It sucks that for the first time in my life watching Kentucky basketball, I don’t really even react to getting down big and being outworked and outcoached game in and game out. I just expect it at this point.

I got so worked up during close games and was on the edge of my seat every second. At this point, it’s almost background noise. I hate it.

Yep. Gonna hit the bedroom with the Wife early tonight. Especially since I’m off work. This isn’t even worth watching. Background noise for sure.

 

[RunninRichie]

haven’t seen that one.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

You got any eligibility!

At 45 Im better equipped to guard my remote than these 18-21 year olds who are in basketball shape. I wouldn't be any help.

Askew will never be much better. He will be mintz like after 4 years if he stays. No quickness no shooting ability

 

[kyjeff1]

But. But. at least he is shooting the ball

Yeah and when it comes off the backboard and rim, it's the first loss in Missouri's break and layup.
How can he be this poor of a shooter if he’s in the gym for hours every night? Not possible.

 

[TortElvisII]

Cats scored 1 pt in the last 5 mins.

Righteous offense.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

But I bet with all the focus on the last 4 mins we win that part of the game lol jk

 

[CB3UK]

Just a couple songs....thats all.......

 

[jessieshorts8]

If it was one bad season I could deal with it but honestly I don't see next season being a that great either.

 

[jameslee32]

Everyone damn one of yen, don't ask me or mine fer nothin' by God.

A fistful of yen??

 

[March 22]

Something is going on behind the scenes with this team. There's no possible way we can be this pathetic.

It’s more about what’s not going on.

 

[NavyCat88]

Our best stat is that we're shooting 50% from the FT line.

GBB!

 

[TortElvisII]

I could be wrong but I think Missouri's playing a chick

 

[jameslee32]

3 on Tilmon. Not that he's doing anything tonight.

Mintz AND 1!!
