Reeves not starting reminds me of how we never started Booker it is mind boggling.

Anyway make sure you get the last shot go in up 7+ you better get the last shot and not turn it over.

Quickley is who it reminds me of. He was our best scorer and didn’t start till late in the year

 

[Bkocats]

Ended the half well
Even with Wheeler..he’s just got to see he doesn’t have to try too hard. After a couple of bonehead moves early he did okay
Still don’t want him to start. He’s better off the bench

 

[ck-2]

jogged ....maybe

He has the Stoops waddle going these days.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Wheeler is playing better. He’s still a liability on defense but he’s moving the ball instead of choking it off. He has to pass up wide open looks but he isn’t hurting us right now

 

[kyjeff1]

Cal is either trying to prove the fans wrong about Wheeler or he is trying to live up to the promise he made to get Wheeler here.

I know the answer to this question, but Ihm going to ask it anyway:

At what point does Cal realize that his idea of the right players to play, is usually wrong, maybe he should try other guys and trust the numbers?

I know, I know, the answer is obvious

 

[bbnkat02]

How did we lose to that **** Mizzou team?

 

[LmdCat]

Good spurt to end the half.

Reeves has to stay in and I would go with Adou for CJ, but that's just me.

Great play by Cal to end it there.

One of CJ's best games and you want to replace him??????

 

[SophiesDad]

Stackhouse in Vandy locker room

 

[dickieVIII]

You lose that timeout if you don't use it in the 1st half. That is why a lot of coaches, who haven't used a timeout yet, use it late in the half. Nice play design by Cal (or somebody on the staff )

 

[megablue]

Please not more of Wheeler. I love the kid but if we have to get more of him in game action we are in trouble.

He is a back-up now and deserves to be, but both times he came in ... the team played well. He has helped us.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Good half baby. Good half. Now come out and step on their throats the 1st 4 mins and put this away.

 

[Bkocats]

Vandy chanting air all and reeves drained it. Lol.

That was rather funny

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Please God, let us put this game away early in the 2nd half. We deserve a breather.

Amen

Let’s hope, more than likely it will be between this margin and 5 or6 points all game

 

[TankedCat]

Wheeler is playing better. He’s still a liability on defense but he’s moving the ball instead of choking it off. He has to pass up wide open looks but he isn’t hurting us right now

has to jump with an overhead pass to get it to Oscar

 

[ck-2]

Our opponents screens always lead to space or a switch and a mismatch. Our screens have 10ft of separation between the screener and teammate.

 

[CB3UK]

Well now we face having to run Wheeler out there for extended minutes.

Hold on to your butts

 

[Noxium322]

Wheeler not taking the last shot was a helluva play call.

 

[Catluv]

One of CJ's best games and you want to replace him??????

One of CJ's best games and you want to replace him??????

You watching the game he cramped up!!

 

[Mulder14]

Need cutler there to chase calipari for an interview running into the locker room

 

[BigBlue1992]

Clean it up on the defensive end and hopefully put this game away early in 2nd half. Reeves has become that guy that when he shoots you feel confident it’s going in.

 

[LmdCat]

Good half baby. Good half. Now come out and step on their throats the 1st 4 mins and put this away.

It would have been much better if Cal hadn't introduced that wacky combination of players at about midpoint of the half.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Toppin bringing it tonight!!! Keep it up big fella!!!

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

Reeves is legit

Seems like he is good enough to start...

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Score ?

 

[TankedCat]

He has the Stoops waddle going these days.

to be fair, so do I

 

[Bkocats]

Vandy hit Three 3’s with guys that have no business hitting them. Could easily be up 15+. Solid half on the road fellas

That last one was well defended too. Hand in face..sometimes they’ll fall no matter what you do.
Just glad we didn’t foul

 

[Big10Cat]

That was a real Benny move by Cal to call a TO and draw up a play. Kudos.

Pretty good offensive half, I’ll take 16-29 and 38% from 3 every game.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Did cal actually call a play to end the half, we may be evolving folks

 

[TortElvisII]

One of CJ's best games and you want to replace him??????

People overreact to the moment. Now in last minute that is ok.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

I’m honestly kinda pissed that Theiro gets zero minutes.

 

[richbrookstomato]

One of CJ's best games and you want to replace him??????

Offense, yes.

Defense, NO!!!

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Wheeler 0-1, 2 assists & 1 TO.

 

[Catluv]

I have NEVER saw a big manspread his legs so wide on picks!! How is that legal???

 

[TankedCat]

Wheeler not taking the last shot was a helluva play call.

LOL

now we know why he called time out

dammit Savhir, do not touch that ball!

 

[sam_o]

LET FKN GO!!!

 

[jameslee32]

Weird seeing Toppin score and rebound in the first half. A good sign that he's completely out of his funk.

 

[TheDude73]

Good half baby. Good half. Now come out and step on their throats the 1st 4 mins and put this away.

4? Let’s put it to them the last 20!

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

There we go. Cal used his use it or lose it. A month ago, probably not.

Tweak.
