******UK vs Vandy Official Game Thread...Dedicated to CINDOG******

[Oneandnotdone38]

Can’t watch the game. Vandy is playing out of their minds?

College basketball streams reddit my man . You're welcome.

 

[RunninRichie]

Took off my UK sweatshirt. Going to watch the 2nd half shirtless. Sad I had to do it against Vandy but not all heroes wear capes

gods work

Doesn’t seem to matter whether they guard them or not. Sometimes teams get hot. Let’s see what happens in the second half. This bunch isn’t the first KY team to struggle in that crap hole gym.

What you said can be true , but in that half we got a clinic ran on us by a rookie coach with a putrid *** team on how to space the floor . It wasn't that they were that hot , they had wide open easy looks .

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Can't, makes too much sense

Never seen a defense that makes it so easy to get to the basket. Zone would at least stop that. You’d still be giving up the same open shots your man to man gives up, but penetration would stop.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Cal is telling them to figure it out for themselves

I hope he doesn’t STILL think they are “empowered”.:weary:

Tennessee won by 21 at Vandy this year..............

A&M won by 19 at Vandy this year............

LSU lost by 9 at vandy this year. Fun game! We trailed by 7 at Rupp to Vandy at the half and won by 9. I look for the same to happen here.

 

[ScrooDook92]

I can hear it now. You must be your brother's keeper, this isn't for everybody, blah blah

:joy::joy: I mean, I hope that isn't the speech.

 

[HenryMuto]

Vandy went 0/26 from 3 earlier this year but against us..................

 

[DraftCat]

Vandy just hung 90 plus on LSU. They are hot right now. This isn't january Vandy you are playing now.

2nd half cats take control.

Hope you are right but I've had this feeling all year not just this game.

 

[hotelblue]

our defense has to takeover or it will be more of the same.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Once again playing a garbage team with no obvious talent difference on the floor

 

[Crums Bald Spot]

1. at worst his classes are ranked #2
2. This years talent level is down considerably. No elite players like a Davis, Zion, KAT, etc...
3. Hard to compete with cheaters paying players. And nothing is done to them for it when they’ve been caught red handed.
4. Cal needs to coach more of a college game and stop preparing them for the NBA. Screw the NBA!!
5. Next years class has some elite level talent in it.

1. He's not getting top 5 guys anymore and his good 10-25 ranked kids are still one and done even though they don't have a one and done impact in college.
2. This isn't a 1 year thing - it's a pattern.
3. Then adapt your approach. You can't get the Wall, Davis, Zions anymore, then quit coaching like you have them.
4. Agreed.
5. I hope but I've heard this a lot recently.

 

[HenryMuto]

Kentucky was -710 on the money line tonight

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Shooters man. If only Cal could find some. Or at least more than one.

And put those shooters in a modern day offense that's condusive to getting good looks. Cal needs an offensive coordinator.

 

[$Z71$]

Great idea , I'll go steal my daughters pom poms ( JK my daughter was an all state athlete as a freshman , not a cheerleader )

My point being, what does yours and other constant bitching anytime we are down in any game ever, or even when we aren’t winning by enough help anything? What does it accomplish? Answer that question. All it does is create more negativity. Yet so many here can’t help but complain always. It’s sad.

 

[MarkPftw]

Hagans..0-3, 2 points, 2 fouls, 2 assists, I don't know his turnover count but I will give him credit, he's leading the team with Richards with 5 rebounds tonight. When your PG is leading the team in rebounds, that's never good a thing. I mean, that's awesome of him but just shows the very poor effort of everybody else.

 

[Soupbean]

too damn funny , we have to go zone to protect our selves Vs Candy

That is sad

 

[RunninRichie]

All the loons are whipping their prepared statements out. They have them ready like minutemen. “Game has passed him by”, etc.

don’t read game threads it’s the same doofys beating the same stuff
“cals gotta revamp”
“wish we were still a blue blood program”
“9 million a year”
“NEED SUM SETS!”
“will bruce pearl be my valentine”
“ZONE ZONE!”

Modern ball kicking Cals *** - he's determined to play antiquated 2 bigs at a time

 

[catfando]

Your team is playing. You cheer for them. That’s what fans do. Instead you. Goose to *****, complain and slam them. My question is why?

there’s a difference in being a fan and a cheerleader. It’s okay to be pissed and disappointed in your team when they play bad. There is a fine line though, between critiquing and trashing them. I have no problem with fans venting frustration when the team flat out playing like garbage. But not trashing players and coaches on a personal level.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I guess we will see what Cal can do with 2 top 5 guys next year because this team has too many holes to fix this late in the season!

 

[CrazyCat74]

We do what we gotta do. Hopefully you are by yourself tonight watching the game. Lol

 

[KYWildCatsFan]

People in here are acting like Vandy is throwing up circus shots with hands in their faces and nailing them.

They’re hitting them because we couldn’t guard a 13 year old off the bounce, they draw help D and kick it to the wide open guy standing there waiting to hit the three. Not a very sophisticated offense. Vandy hitting wide open shots every college shooter should be expected to hit.

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

good lord. richards has a foot on that guy and he pulls away for a hook?

One of the only times I’ve seen him aggressive in the post was against Fulkerson after he whined and flopped all game against us.

Seems like Nick doesn’t have that eye of the tiger unless he’s mad?

What does it hurt? To each their own. We suck tonight....SO FAR.

 

[Crums Bald Spot]

Yeah cause adults ***** about the dumbest stuff every game.

No adults don't look at the data and results and have educated conversations. We don't blindly let someone fart in our face and say "thank you, sir...may I have another?" Even if he's "our" coach

 

[$Z71$]

Because this is a forum where people vent. Usually that’s what people do on Internet forums.

That’s where you are wrong perception wise. Forums are for discussion. Negative minded people like yourself view them as a place to vent. Discussion is one thing, venting is something completely different. I get being upset because we are playing like ****. I don’t get the constant need to trash our players and our coach. Yet call yourself a fan.

 

[rick64]

Cal seems distracted tonight. Maybe thinking about the Knicks job.

The criticisms of the offense being out of date are completely valid. I do think the others are pretty silly though.

 

[MbergCat]

Goodness, people are freaking out tonight!

 

[RunninRichie]

agree

 

[blubo]

Exactly. The team is not a bunch of quitters like some of our whiny fans.

This team does not quit. i have not seen even a hint of quit in them. not to say they don’t play smart sometimes but they play hard.

 

[$Z71$]

It spreads negativity in a world already over run with it. Which in turn does cause further harm. Like you said to each their own.

Sophie’s dad has got it going on.

:thumbsdown::boxing:

 

[Seth_C]

There may have only been 15 fouls called but if we make the game close I guarantee the number will almost double in the second half.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Or Ellen's brownies.

What does cheering crappy basketball accomplish? Your logic doesn’t make sense. You cheer when teams play well. Who cheers when bad plays happen lol. That makes zero sense.

I agree which in result can’t guard anyone
