UK vs Nicholls game thread

[TheBlueMist]

We need someone to check the rims at Rupp. They sound clangy.

STOP SHOOTING 3S AND TAKE THE DAMN BALL TO THE BASKET!!!

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

It's like watching the football team

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

Since college basketball is a like professional now, could we trade for a PG?

Trade Collin and Noah for Acaden

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Nichols >>> Purdue lol

 

[Farsight Clone]

Kam Williams is the one I am most disappointed with. He had 0 pts in the Georgetown game, doesn't play good defense and can't hit shots right now.

 

[ala_kat2]

Noah hits em all in practice

Maybe Cam Williams does too.

 

[Wunky]

I can already tell that force-feeding the ball to Garrison 20 feet from the basket is going to irritate me all season. I hope it's not a continuing thing. He can be a serviceable big but he's not Amari Williams.

Idk if he can even be a serviceable big. Just looks lost out there to me. Takes too long to make decisions, then when he finally does, it’s the wrong one about 7/10 times.

Someone needs to show they can win one on one, this appears to be a real concern.

 

[bbnkat02]

We're sucking on offense, but my GOODNESS Nicholls is literally grabbing, tugging, shoving, etc.

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

And 3pt shooting. I hope lower can maybe open the court up?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

If we roll into YUM looking like this, Louisville is going to beat the brakes off us.

 

[phyrekat01]

So good to see that the pitiful showing against Georgetown woke this team up......

 

[theBlues]

Williams might end up being a whiff. Yikes

Nah, he shot 40% last year on threes and has a very nice looking shooting stroke.

 

[JimboBBN]

Kam isn’t close to being the player some on here thought he would be. He’s tenth man at best at this point.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

14% from 3 and 25% from the line

 

[katwest]

Earlier in the game Garrison could have turned around and dunked it but he never knew it. His man could have walked off the floor, he’s got to be aware of if his man is on him or not.

 

[kyjeff1]

Man, Kam Williams can’t hit either. Those were wide open.
Play like this against any top 30 team and you lose.
Plus, how can we be so bad at shooting free throws with so many veteran players?

 

[anon1777473514]

Game gonna end in a hockey score, it feels

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Aggressive defense is a sign they don't respect what they saw on tape from our offense.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Nah, he shot 40% last year on threes and has a very nice looking shooting stroke.

I get it. He looks like a shell right now.

10000%^^^^

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

1-4 on FTs. Good grief. Is John Calipari coaching this team?

“I’m an idiot”

 

[Wunky]

I think UK is 1/7 on threes and 1/4 from the foul line and still up 8-2. So at least we can't complain about the defense at the moment.

The D hasn’t even been that great… Nicholls is just awful. They are hustling their butts off, but they’re awful. If we were playing Georgetown again we’d be down by 8 right now.

 

[Cheap Buried]

Have to hit our freebies.

 

[Kyfan27]

Why aren't we just drive heavy with this team? This team has far more athleticism than last year. We don't need to shoot threes like we did last year.

 

[JPFisher]

Pope knows we look a lot better with Aberdeen and others in the lineup. These two games are great time to train backups.

Hoping this is the rationale. Pope knows he's got two PGs and wants to try and create some depth with early season XP.


Again... We hope that's what's happening.

 

[blackcat714]

Thought we had a better 3pt shooting team than what we have seen

 

[Kentucky15]

one issue I’m seeing is this team isn’t flowing at all. choppy play, Oweh non existent, lots of walking about get you ******* heads out of your *** please.

 

[philstat]

About ready to Tubi…

 

[Lime-Kat]

This is defcon 5. Pope needs to figure this out quick. This is much worse than Cal ball

 

[megablue]

Moreno’s FT mechanics are AWFUL !!!!

 

[theBlues]

Away from the basket Moreno is looking like a mason.

 

[bbnkat02]

LOL
IN WHAT UNIVERSE REF

 

[Kentucky15]

These officials are absolute dog ****. Doing everything they can to give st. Nicholas an edge.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

The preseason SEC POY has been sitting on the bench for like 6 minutes

 

[UK_BlueBlood]

The mountain Mamba is the Mountain Garter Snake

I don’t doubt Noah’s shooting ability. The problem is neither does our opponents, and they currently have no reason to leave him open on defense to worry about anyone else we have on the floor. So Noah gets very few open looks, which makes him fairly invisible out there.

 

[megablue]

Quick teams will bother us all year !!!

 

[kyjeff1]

Jasper trying spin moves in the paint with 4 defenders, why?

 

[Kentucky15]

Absolutely no intensity on the court. Standing around, looking at each other, absolute dogshit.
