[Jack2936]

All too familiar

 

[TortElvisII]

And we let Edward’s shoot a three? He has hit NONE!

I blame you for not going to the game

 

[YankeeCpt_rivals378522]

i think this game shows just how important DJ Wagner is.
No bite tonight.

 

[true-blue1]

There first ever ranked road win lol

Cal continues to break all records.

 

[Shaudylo]

I recorded the game . Not sure if I need to watch it now smh

 

[bbnkat02]

Awful. Fifth ranked team to go down in three days.

That sucked ***. Back down to Earth for all of us. Shame on us for thinking we were back. What damn fools we are.

 

[NociHTTP]

This ending is hilarious.

So much effort in the last 40 seconds that wasn't there all game.

Our guys needed to get slapped.

Just acting like their coach who thinks with the shot clock he has all day to score.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

And we let Edward’s shoot a three? He has hit NONE!

His ranking clearing warrants shooting as much as he wants. Cal gonna let the golden ones play no matter what-even when playing poorly. It’s the UK way now.

 

[Kentucky2022]

Unc wilmington couldn’t even beat ecu horrible loss im afraid cal changed the offense once he knew he was getting a 7 footer back

 

[bbnkat02]

I recorded the game . Not sure if I need to watch it now smh

Just don't. Unless you like pain and disappointment.

 

[fatguy87]

Our blistering offensive start to the season thanks to the input of Welch made us forget that we have been mediocre defensively for over 5 seasons, including this season. This is a harsh reminder.

 

[kybassfan]

Paklids…..,,

 

[LmdCat]

We missed coaching today and that is all. Cal is still the same do nothing, know nothing coach. This team has shot well enough to cover up the lack of coaching. The shooting wasn't here today, so down goes Fraizer.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

I recorded the game . Not sure if I need to watch it now smh

Save the 2 hrs man. They played with little effort tonight. Whole team.

 

[NociHTTP]

I recorded the game . Not sure if I need to watch it now smh

Not if you don't want to end up with diabetes and high blood pressure.

 

[RMorris33_rivals]

UNCW players will remember this for the rest of their lives. They played well and made shots when they needed to

 

[zannmann]

Be so glad when Cal leaves.

 

[kybassfan]

They dropped 80 on us. Obviously we didn’t shoot enough 3’s

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Unc wilmington couldn’t even beat ecu horrible loss im afraid cal changed the offense once he knew he was getting a 7 footer back

Look at the number of 3 point shots today versus the average before today. Spacing was terrible because Cal can’t help himself.

[Kentucky2022]

Hope this is cal last year, we won’t beat any good team on the road

 

[Gaytor Hater]

This one ain’t on Cal, fellas. Guys played like ****.

Yep. They missed shot after shot and were slow all night. Didn't have the same energy as the Miami game. Though I did have concerns whether or not Bradshaw would disrupt how they've been playing.

 

[Kentucky2022]

Look at the number of 3 point shots today versus the average before today. Spacing was terrible because Cal can’t help himself.

Once he gets a big back reverts to his old ways never going to change

 

[warrior-cat]

I posted a few days ago that our defense is not even in the top 100 right now and today it came back to bite us in the ***. I don't remember who it was who said offense is hit or miss but defense wins championships. Simply meaning you will have off shooting days, but defense is always there it you play good defense consistently. We don't.

 

[LmdCat]

It doesn't matter how badly this team performs defensively Cal isn't going to change. He is a one trick pony.

 

[phyrekat]

He recruits these guys, coaches them, screws with substitutions, let's them play hero ball, and refuses to put them in a position to win by playing different defenses. It's all on him. We didn't lose because we played good and just couldn't make a basket and they couldn't miss. We lost because it was a total all systems failure.

Yep, when the WHOLE TEAM looks this bad, it's generally on the one thing they all have in common.....Coach Cal

 

[katwest]

And we let Edward’s shoot a three? He has hit NONE!

I have always thought he has shot to much just in the first several games. He has fired up 3’s when better shooters were open, Cal is scared he will lay down if he tells him to quit firing up so many threes if your not hitting.

 

[bbnkat02]

UNCW players will remember this for the rest of their lives. They played well and made shots when they needed to

They will tell their kids and grandkids about it and effing should.

Highly highly disappointed in our boys today. Thought they had fight and heart. Shame on me for thinking that.

 

[fatguy87]

We missed coaching today and that is all. Cal is still the same do nothing, know nothing coach. This team has shot well enough to cover up the lack of coaching. The shooting wasn't here today, so down goes Fraizer.

We took more midrange jumpers than 3's today. It's a reversion to Cal's tendencies.

Defensively, still crappy as we have been over the last 5 seasons. Our scorching start hid our porous defending.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Once he gets a big back reverts to his old ways never going to change

Won’t be surprised if Bradshaw has a “setback” because he doesn’t want to play in the post.

 

[bbnkat02]

That loss just erased any good mo and vibes on the season. UNC is now a MUST win to get back on track.

 

[megablue]

Our guards got smoked on D

1000"% this ^^^^

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Yep, when the WHOLE TEAM looks this bad, it's generally on the one thing they all have in common.....Coach Cal

So I’m curious, when the team looks great IE against Miami, is it generally because Cal did great.

Again, no Cal fan here. But damn.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Cal can't escape blame for this that's nonsense to even try. Sure, no Wagner, but there was no adjustment defensively. Another one for the worst loss of the Calipari era column.

 

[G-PIP]

I recorded the game . Not sure if I need to watch it now smh

May be a blessing in disguise, ss. Don't watch it and you won't have to suffer the frustration from watching.

 

[bbnkat02]

Did we not #PONYUP enough. Wouldn't break my heart to see both Stoops and Call piss off at this point.

 

[kybassfan]

It doesn't matter how badly this team performs defensively Cal isn't going to change. He is a one trick pony.

Yeah cause the other team don’t play defense. We can just jack more and more thees. Go faster Shoot threes….

They dropped 80 on us.

 

[BlueCephus]

So you blaming yourself??? Don't go there... Cal is a helluv a coach! He's a winner...

So sick of bad losses, especially at home.

 

[Jack2936]

Inserting Bradshaw might have messed with the flow, but rebounding and defence are glaring weaknesses. Can't rely on the 3.
