••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS VANDERBILT GAME THREAD••

[The_Answer1313]

Watkins ruining our 3 point % lol

 

[HagginHall1999]

Cal wouldn't do this to anyone but Stackhouse. He would never do this to Rick Barnes even if he could.

Now back to the positive...

Lots of encouraging signs tonight even if it was a shitty Vanderbilt team.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Lol punk reply.

Thank you. I was being a prick tonight I will 100 percent admit, they played great, defense is a concern, but it’s not something I should have voiced tonight loudly. That’s just being nitpicky, the cats played great and showed some positive signs

 

[KYExtemper]

This vandy team might be the worst team we’ve seen all year…

There's no way Stackhouse isn't fired after this season. Vandy will be looking for yet another coach.

 

[entropy13]

Yep, among the worst officiated games I've seen, and that's saying something for SEC refs. If it were close, we'd be mobbing up right now.

And hoe-lee-sh!t, our defense is comical. Whole team chasing the ball sometimes and leaving their men open.

Nice win, though.

 

[bbncal02]

Vandy averages around 70 ish. And they got soooooo many FTs.

Good win. On to the next.

 

[jameslee32]

They did win by 30+, 109-77.

[blubo]

Dammit Cal leave Z in the damn game

5 fouls

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It’s not the basketball, it’s the 4-5 jerkoffs on here who will puff their chest tonight and take the passive agressive shots they always take, but will disappear when what everybody is concerned about happens again

Are the positive types really the problem? You have a few posters in this very thread who clearly had their night ruined that UK, and Cal, won.

MikeMcd can't not make 10 of the same shitty threads every day.

Being overly optimistic is ALWAYS better than overly-pessimistic.

 

[megablue]

Burks absolutely needs to be playing over Mitchell.

I'd have to run it back, but this has to be the hardest I've seen Bradshaw play all season. He's had a very solid game tonight

Tre Mitchell - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Yes. Great effort by Bradshaw !!!

 

[ck-2]

There's no way Stackhouse isn't fired after this season. Vandy will be looking for yet another coach.

Let’s reunite father and son.

 

[Mike_Edwards]

EVEN THESE CORRUPT ASS SEC REFS COULDNT IMPACT THIS GAME. CONGRATS ASSHOLES!


!

 

[FiveStarCat]

Cal with the smooch for Brad lmfao

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Some have been helping for no reason too

Great team win either way, defense gets just slightly better and they can cause major problems. Positive spin on it tonight

 

[LmdCat]

I realize it's Vandy and everything isn't fixed all of a sudden. But I have no real complaints tonight. D needs to get better but pace of play and so many changes of possession means your gonna give up more. Happy for Edwards and Burks!

You should have stopped at "I realize..."

 

[The_Answer1313]

I'm going to bet and say this game was played over 77 possessions meaning we held them to under 1.00.

Granted it's Vandy but yeah.

 

[crawfords corner]

Some things to work with defensively

 

[Lazlo7]

That was fun

 

[CatPhight]

Always better to crush a shitty team than lose to anyone...

 

[$Z71$]

Man it’s the just the usual suspects that only pop out against teams like vandy. I will 100 percent admit I am being a prick tonight and nitpicking, I can own up and admit that. I’m just concerned for more important games with some of the stuff I saw. Either way, great bounce back win for the cats

I'm here every game, definitely not just against Vandy. You have to let yourself enjoy a game like this one. I completely understand our defense MUST get better, but overall we played well tonight.

 

[crawfords corner]

Granted it's Vandy but yeah.

Im guessing but Id say 83 possessions.

It’s both for sure, I was wrong tonight I will admit it, I always admit it, I own up everytime time. But I get shit on everytime lol. I’m just gonna listen to @bbncal02 and enjoy this great performance tonight

 

[bbncal02]

Dammit Cal leave Z in the damn game

I’ll yell at Cal for a ish ton of things. That was on Don “I’m an asshole” Daily.

 

[FilsonCat]

I didn't expect this kind of performance in Memorial. No matter how bad Vandy teams are, crazy stuff happens on the road there. It isn't an easy place to play and the team balled out.

 

[entropy13]

Cal with the smooch for Brad lmfao

Was it open mouth?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

You should have stopped at "I realize..."

Did you not enjoy watching a stress free high octane game from the Cats?

 

[bbncal02]

Cal with the smooch for Brad lmfao

At least it wasn’t on the lips.

I mean Tom Crean would’ve.

 

[Bkocats]

I don't get the desire for wanting the players to hit the floor. Don't have enough injuries? Why hit the floor in a game like this? It isn't like you have to practice hitting the floor to know how to do it.

Ok it was kind of a joke…song lyric
Was in response to seeing all the players, well, hit the floor

 

[jameslee32]

Cats cooled off shooting 53% in the 2nd half. 🤣

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

You’re not in the group I was talking about. I actually enjoy talking to you because you’re level headed. I was miserable today, I had a very bad day at work and in my personal life as well, I was just looking to complain today. I agree man, I just come from a coaching family who always nitpicked everything and never said anything was good enough. I can admit it was a great win tonight, let’s hope it carries over to Saturday

 

[bbncal02]

Was it open mouth?

No. He’s not Creepy Crean.

 

[The_Answer1313]

You know I still maintain we are a better defensive team with DJ in.
But maybe we are a better defensive team without Mitchell in.

There has to be some mix here that works when everyone is healthy.

 

[LmdCat]

I am sorry Dilly, but we don't have all the pieces. We don't have a real presence under the basket. We are completely lost under the basket and seldom ever get clean rebounds. More often than not we are rebounding the ball after it bounces on the floor.

 

[crawfords corner]

My wife says, Dillingham holding the mic to his cheek was the cutest thing she saw all day. 🤣 🤣

 

[CatPhight]

There's no way Stackhouse isn't fired after this season. Vandy will be looking for yet another coach.

He'll probably return to Tardlandia as an assistant under baby Hubert...

Hope everything gets better for you man.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Anthe positive Burks showed some prosming signs defensively with his ability to move his feet along with the offense

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It’s both for sure, I was wrong tonight I will admit it, I always admit it, I own up everytime time. But I get shit on everytime lol. I’m just gonna listen to @bbncal02 and enjoy this great performance tonight

What we're you wrong on?

You take it game by game. It seems to me that almost all of Cals teams get better as the season goes on. I think this team will get better.. but they also have a lot of ground to cover.

I'm not getting too excited about simply beating Vandy.. but I am happy to see a 30pt win, at their place, with awful officiating. All together, that is a solid win. You take the most positive performances and build on it.

 

[HagginHall1999]

Cal with the smooch for Brad lmfao

Can't hate on a man for loving his son...

But tell me it wasn't a Crean kiss 😂

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Hope everything gets better for you man.

Yeah man it’s my parents dragging into stuff they shouldn’t be dragging me into, it’s stressing me out. And my boss moved up my deadline by 10 days, I could pull clumps of my hair out that’s how stressed I was. I appreciate the positive message alot
