******Richmond vs UK Official Game Thread******

[CELTICAT]

Wow, some of the worst **** I’ve ever seen from a Kentucky team

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Do you not try Allen to see if he can hit you some shots?

Doesn’t have the resume and from wrong state .. yep I said it

 

[Big BlueBeard]

This is Cal's blueprint for a team. Over abundance of athletes and under abundance of actual basketball players, with few exceptions over the years.

 

[Wall Knight Teague]

Looking like a bad middle school team.

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

Having a completely new team every year is awesome.

 

[Jtf2217_rivals46896]

Almost over the pure athletes who aren’t even close to good. News flash boys you can’t just out athlete everyone in college you actually have to play ball.
And our coach always sits on his hands like he doesn’t know what to do..... he probably don’t.

 

[Burly]

LOL Cal you got them boys playing well - nice scouting job - no shooters and the one you got can’t get in the game I guess Allen is still on team

 

[ScottGreene22]

Spin this crap all you want we look like a grade school team

That can’t shoot

 

[SituationBlue]

Sloppy like Cal’s haircut

 

[FanofUK]

Richmond is playing like they are not scared of getting a foul called on them, but us on the other hand is like we cannot move without a whistle

 

[fatguy87]

Guard play has been absolutely atrocious

 

[BourbonBalz]

Well what can you say. Once again we look like **** to start a season. Fundamentals are lost on this bunch, at least as of right now.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Confused Freshmen. Ugly basketball

As easy an explanation as there is....Confused fresh, vs a very exp and good basketball team is not a good recipe.

 

[track42]

Of course we will be much better in March but what worries me is we can't shoot the 3 or free throws.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Richmond’s best player is out for the season

 

[seccats04]

Clarke has gotta be better

I posted after the first game that he has games where he disappears. This is one of them.

 

[mhroe1984]

Richmond isn’t a crap team

They're good, I know, but Kentucky should never lose a home game to a mid-major team. Completely unacceptable.

 

[nkuCATfan]

Where the guy who said we would beat Gonzaga? Lol. Dude we rarely can count on beating anyone prior to late December with all cal teams. The way it is. Seems like we always lose 1 mid major and 1 high major we should bear before the Louisville game every year

 

[Oneandnotdone38]

What a waste of time and energy this game is.

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

Richmond isn’t a crap team

You're right not crap- but we haven't hit a 3 point shot- can't score over guards under 6ft.

We can only shoot the ball in the paint- it's not going to go well all year/

 

[kybassfan]

We got a lesson in team basketball in the second half.

 

[Stooptroops]

Don’t want to hear the young excuse all season either. Cal chooses the players he wants and the way he wants to recruit. This is F-ing embarrassing

 

[RunninRichie]

You're right not crap- but we haven't hit a 3 point shot- can't score over guards under 6ft.

Agree offense is dogshit

 

[RoyKent]

Chance to cut the lead to 7, Miss a FT and then let them go on a run and don’t score for 2+ minutes.

What the hell offense is this team running?

 

[rick64]

+20 in rebounding and somehow -12 in FGA and down 10. If that wasn’t so terrible I would be impressed.

When you shoot 33% FGs, only 5 dimes and have 18 TOs plus miss 11 FTs. Kinda tough to win.

 

[oldsports_]

ALLEN should transfer.

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Richmond isn’t a crap team

They are a really good team but there is no way they should have dominated us in the 2nd half like they have.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Richmond looks good. Playing with great energy and confidence. At this point in the season this seems like one of the worst offensive teams I’ve seen under Cal. Literally throwing it at the goal.

 

[Comebakatz3]

At this point .. as of today .. Boston looks awful

It's because he's not playing within an offense at all. He's just trying to score.

 

[Mojocat_rivals48469]

None of that means ****. Championships are stuff to gloat about. We aren’t Indiana.

So no difference in your mind between 38-1 and a final four vs last place in the SEC. you might want to consider a different sport

 

[Wall Knight Teague]

So, we’re now OK with losing to unranked teams at home? Richmond is OK, but it’s not like they’re Mich. St., Duke, or other powerhouses. We should never lose these games at home.

It's wild how many fans let Calipari dictate to them what UK fans' expectations should be.

 

[somersetcat]

Maybe Cal should spend more time coaching instead of all the political propaganda bullcrap he’s been involved in. This team is pathetic and the head coach is to.

 

[meteordealer]

Richmond is mostly Seniors. We are all Freshmen who didn't even get the luxury of exhibition games due to the late season start.

This is pretty much expected.

 

[know1]

Stoops must be holding back the offense.

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Last 5 years, Calipari has been scrambling to put together a team. Yeah we have a top recruiting class, but its because we have so many new recruits each year.... This is just not a successful approach..... Calipari is starting to look like Bob Huggins LOL.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

But Cal got on us

Richmond is a really good team and at this point we are just a collection of really talented players. By the end of the year we will be a really good team. Just need time to put it all together. But outside shooting and free-throw shooting is going to be a problem all year.

This quote is a rinse and repeat since 2015. Too many early season inexcusable performances hurting seeding. At some point Cal is going to have to place value on continuity along with the other aspects of building a team.

 

[RunninRichie]

They're good, I know, but Kentucky should never lose a home game to a mid-major team. Completely unacceptable.

yeah I agree need to grow up quick kansas is in 2 days

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

Imagine- if we just could get Mr Basketball from Kentucky every year.
.

 

[Sparkaces]

It’s amazing that we have a D1 team that can’t make a three. So much for all that NBA that Cal watched lol.

 

[GoNoles111]

Hey look a white boy who can shoot, wouldnt mind one of those
