*UK vs Gonzaga Game Thread*

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

That was kind of embarrassing frankly

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

This is where I go take a few melatonin, mix them with some Mike's Hard Lemonade, and wait for the fun chemicals to do the rest.

I'm convinced 70% of the chemical addictions in Kentucky started with first halves like this.

 

[*CatinIL*]

That was ugly.

 

[Yardeth]

Physical teams and quick guards are our doom

 

[Noxium322]

Turned it off. This team is cooked.

 

[MbergCat]

I'm gonna be honest, we are cooked. Possibly for the season.

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

I don't believe that. But the fire and effort we gave that game has been awol since.

They didn’t play well. They shoot their average we would’ve lost.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Totally getting embarrassed at the half come on this has been multiple games in a row!

 

[Shaudylo]

Gonzaga got whatever they wanted in the first half .

While we struggled to get good looks on our end

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

If UK makes their layups it's a 2 point game.

Yeah Rick, no lol. Kentucky can’t guard a soul

 

[FiveStarCat]

Embarrassing. We massively overrated this team

 

[Fancatstik]

Nembhart just punked Oweh on that last shot

 

[TortElvisII]

Robinson is a seventh man forced into role of star.

 

[Ash Williams]

Pope needs to get in some faces. This nice guy routine isn’t working.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Williams has played the worst half I've seen from any of our players this year.

No effort at all defensively. Embarrassing performance.

He’s played bad the last few games!

 

[NociHTTP]

This can't be the best offense we can run, can't be.
We have the wrong guys taking shots and there is no scheme at all to get our shooters open. This cannot be it, no, this won't work.

Alsi, we're soft as **** on defense, it's okay to be down on talent, but that doesn't mean you play soft, this is crap.

I don't know why people are ignoring this, but Pope specifically said the guys are not running the offense. Running the offense would help alleviate the scoring concerns.

 

[anonymous_2024]

Welp It's safe to say Coach Pope isn't some genius who makes adjustments after a loss. Same **** as last 5 games. No defense. No offense. No rebounding.

 

[blubo]

How in the actual eff did we beat Duke

they didn’t have 10 returning players from last year, like zaga

 

[wccat]

Not even close.

At this point there are no DUDES on this team.

 

[Yardeth]

Missing butlers defense a lot

Fouls would have taken him out of the game

 

[gbl97]

Way to force long 2s. Except they make them all.

 

[katwest]

Williams shot looks like it comes off his palms, no touch at all. Just lets it fly before he turns completely around. That shot is not going in against any good big man.

 

[wildcat2243]

What happened to our offense? When will Robinson get off the plane?

 

[SemperFiCat]

RARELY do I EVER feel this way, but the second half probably isn't worth the frustration to watch. Oregon vs Penn St sounds a lot more entertaining and less frustrating.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Holy ****. Go to bed you miserable bastards! This board in full meltdown.

 

[RoyKent]

 

[Seth_C]

That was kind of embarrassing frankly

Not kind of. It was, absolutely. We look like a D2 team right now.

 

[WildmanWilson_rivals]

They cannot miss

Not that difficult when we don’t play defense.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Embarrassing. We massively overrated this team

Some of us didn't. I said we would finish with the same amount of losses as last season. I may be optimistic though.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

Choose your own adventure:

1. Williams baby hook
2. Robinson floater
3. Chandler corner three
4. Almonor effort on defensive rebounds

5. Oweh brick layup

 

[Digger-Cat]

Everything they throw up goes in.

Because they're wide open, we are soft, no resistance at all, they are getting everything they want.

Mark Pope is going to have to get mean here, this "everything is Beautiful" stuff is great when you're winning, that **** wont work when you need to get your team right, this team is soft and lazy.

 

[Big10Cat]

Down 16…may as well be 40.

 

[wccat]

Welp It's safe to day Coach Pope isn't some genius who makes adjustments after a loss. Same **** as last 5 games. No defense. No offense. No rebounding.

I don’t see fire. I see a bunch of mid-major players who want no part of fighting.

 

[RichardCory]

I feel like all choices lead to being ate by a troll.....

 

[BC_Wader]

We aren't jumping up on their shots. Standing there flat footed. Amari is not even trying on D. Someone said something a few games ago about Amari sulking on the bench while we were blowing out some scrub team. Everyone, myself included, gave them grief. Maybe there was something because he is a hindrance to our team. I'd rather see Garrison.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

At this point there are no DUDES on this team.

Oweh is the closest.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

This team is still a work in progress, it’s going to take some more time for things to round into shape. I knew all this hype from hanging over 100 on beef noodle state was really premature. Don’t have enough horses yet..

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Holy ****. Go to bed you miserable bastards! This board in full meltdown.

This is what happens here lol

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

Everything people are saying is true, yes. But.....If we had a healthy Butler, I think this is a much closer game. He'd get to the rim and finish, he'd run the team better. We are lost without him.

 

[cat tat2]

We’re playing soft on offense and Nembhard is picking us apart on defense, don’t have anyone that can “bother” him.
