****OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS ILLINOIS ST GAME THREAD****

Well good win to get before conference play. Offense is awesome and fun to watch. Defense has some work to do along with rebounding but I believe this group can get better with those 2 aspects

Does anyone know what flavor gum Bruiser chews ?? He could get some serious NIL $$$, if he wanted it. He chews aggressively and often.
 
Oh yeah, I knew he would against Illinois St. Still has 0 assists though, which is what a PG is suppose to do. I know he can get to the basket every time against this team. He’s made for piling up numbers against these little teams.
You’re still mad. Also look at the clowns who liked your ignorance.

If we had any kind of defense….
We are 47th ranked defense. Posters on here act like we have thenworst defense in the nation. We don't. Could it be better, sure. But ill take an offense like ours with some defensive holes. We have a squad, enjoy it.
 
8 points, 11 rebounds, and the biggest effect this guy has on the team 4 assists for Tre Mitchell.

He is the perfect 4-man because of how much he helps distribute the ball in this offense.


Thank you, Bob Huggins!!!
 
Reeves possesses the ball less than any of our guards, but based on his numbers, he is the most efficient player on the team.
 
Win-win. We get the W and win by 26, have some fun, and Cal has plenty of film to use with the team. Lots of good stuff on offense and lots of opportunities to improve on D and rebounding.
 
  • Wow
Reactions: BBUK
He’s also the only the whole team that has more turnovers than assists in this game so far. In fact, he has every one of UKs turnovers so far. LOL.😂
Man Cal should probably suspend DJ Wagner for the 1 turnover he had. Bwahahaha, you keep exposing yourself with these dumb takes hating on UK players. Complete fraud.

This team is nothing without Tre and Reed. They know how to play the game the right way and are great leaders with their communication.
 
Man we were two plays away from it being a perfect sports day for the BBN. Brad white will pay for his sins lol
Yes, we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by going to a prevent defense. If we couldn't stop them from scoring, we should have given up the score much sooner by playing aggressive defense. At least we would have had good chance of scoring again.

Great win for UK. Can we get back to talking about how terrible Stoops and White are?
 
I hate it that we waste early game minutes by not having our best shooters on the court. If you are not going to play defense, you have to maximize your scoring opportunities, preferably early in games before teams think they can play with you.
 
Just gotta stay top 50. There's never been a champ outside the top 50 of defensive efficiency.
We are just staying inside 50 while playing more bad teams than good teams. Things could get ugly when we are playing against better competition.

I just posted that to make your blood boil. I know one turnover isn’t bad. Glad to see Wagner assisted Sheppard on a 3 pointer. See, I give DJ credit sometimes.
 
Wagner 3.6 assists to 1.4 turnovers per game
Dillingham 4.3 assists to 1.6 turnovers per game
Sheppard 4.3 assists to 1.5 turnovers per game


There is a lot to knock Wagner for in his game. Basically calling him selfish is not only asinine it's just flat out untrue.
Nothing pisses me off more than dogging a player for being selfish when the stats say otherwise.
