UK vs UCLA Gamethread

[phyrekat]

Livingston is making it easy for Cal to keep him on the bench right now

 

[Farsight]

Seems like more fight on UCLA's side. Typical.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

No real offense is killing us

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Well I got what I wanted. Livingston now at the 4. He gives up a basket. Then turns it over. WE HAVE NOBODY THAT CAN PLAY THE 4.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Yeah there’s no way Thiero can keep up with the production we are getting on the floor already

 

[kyjeff1]

UCLA is tougher and I hate to say it, coached better. They’re getting anything they want.

 

[ukalum1988]

My God this half court offense is pathetic.

Half court defense not so hot either

 

[Farsight]

Toppin is just not good. Admit it and move on.

He's way too lazy

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

I’m not sure how to describe this team. They aren’t bad……but they aren’t really good either.

 

[christophero]

Bruins are legit. If they can contain Oscar it might be a long day.

 

[lyngz]

Two round of 32 teams going at it.

GO CATS!!!!
WOOOO!!!!!!

 

[WeWant9_rivals]

No real offense is killing us

It’s painful to watch

Quote on repeat for Calipari since 2005.

[Runnin'Ramel]

Toppin is worthless.
CJ can’t play.
Cal is washed up.

 

[IowaMuse5]

What a joke. This UK team is not as talented as people think and the coaching is dreadful. UCLA has better players. Certainly more skilled shot makers

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Pla cal plz no collins, wheeler and Livingston at the same time.

But y’all know it’s coming.

Retarded

 

[26MichaelUK]

Our defense is terrible.

 

[katwest]

Playing catch up is all we can do I guess. I haven’t seen a single set play yet.

 

[kyjeff1]

Can Ado get a shot at some point? I mean, come on.

 

[Bkocats]

Does anybody on here think Kentucky is winning this game, can’t be many

There are enough

I suppose it COULD happen..

 

[bbnkat02]

This fckn team can't get out of their own way

We’re just not that good.

 

[hotelblue]

the one thing cal usually brings to the table (defense) is nowhere to be found. we do not have a good defensive team.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Cal is on a fast track of turning Kentucky into Indiana.

 

[jameslee32]

Turnovers
UCLA 2
UK 5

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

There are so many disappointing players on this team

 

[Farsight]

If Oscar was not on this team, we would be below 500.

 

[RoyKent]

Yeah there’s no way Thiero can keep up with the production we are getting on the floor already

Yeah, just like Allen should have played and would prove it to us all this season at WKU

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

He seems like a good kid, but again cal looking at the miller kid @ Alabama and Livingston and choosing Livingston is the problem

 

[bbnkat02]

Seems like more fight on UCLA's side. Typical.

That’s in the coach. Both Stoop and Cal have guys that quit on them.

 

[taydaddy]

Tell me if I’m wrong…but I’ve seen this same game before

 

[RoyKent]

Oscar is a different (worse) player this year. Not as aggressive, not as tough…it’s weird.

 

[KyCPA2000]

Looks like it's going to be a close one.

Nah, feel like we will dig a hole big enough soon that will be impossible for us to overcome with our weak offense.

 

[CincyUKFan]

Wheeler layup!
Wheeler runner!

And then let his man go right by him for a layup.

 

[jameslee32]

We have players that just don't play hard.

Ignore worthy post.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

There are enough

I suppose it COULD happen..

Key word your used is could, a while ago it all of us would be saying” Kentucky would win instead of could

 

[Farsight]

I think the main reason Toppin plays is because Cal wants to get him to the NBA. Literally that's it.

 

[track42]

Oscar is a different (worse) player this year. Not as aggressive, not as tough…it’s weird.

Could be the loser coaching.

 

[Burly]

UCLA shooting 60%
Wallace getting smoked on defense and he’s our best defender
No movement on offense
Oscar does not feel the defense - to slow either making move or passing

 

[LmdCat]

And yet Cal can’t see it. He made it to the HOF tho! He’s done working.

He has certainly mailed it in. He isn't teaching these kids. He is destroying them. You could go to any random boys and girls club and find a gym full of guys that could easily make those uncontested shots.
