Will you PLEASE teach Somebody to stay in front of their man on defense??????

Decided to watch some of this game between NFL timeouts and what not. I don't claim to be an expert on either team, but holy h*ll, both are bad. Really bad. Uavel actually leading by 12 atm but there is absolutely NO offensive scheme, patterns, plays, sets, etc. And Pepperdine looks like they're playing with their men's volleyball team. Just ugly, ugly basketball.

He had to be impressed that they beat Pepperdine. Wonder what the attendance was ?

So Philadelphia beat Charlotte by 53 tonight. Maxey had a +/- of 43. I don’t know what the record for a +/- is but that has to be ranked way up there. He has been playing out of his mind lately.

I love Dillingham, I hate Dillingham, I love Dillingham, I hate…
😬

I’ve tracked portal news casually so pardon if I’m wrong on this, but I’ve not seen UK associated with defensive players in the portal aside form the MSU CB.

Does this indicate the coaches feel good with the depth/development on that side of the ball?

Is this a strategic decision to prioritize finite NIL budget on offensive skill positions and Walker?

Does Trevin Wallace going pro free up what his NIL payday would have been to use elsewhere?

All of this is also framed by what reporting we do have…don’t know how much of the iceberg is under the water line so to speak.

Per AP:

ATLANTA -- — Kentucky seemed to make all the big plays down the stretch. Even then, North Carolina still had a chance to pull out the victory.

But the Tar Heels threw it away.

I have this date marked down. Can’t wait for our guards to go into Auburn and knock that smirk off of KD Johnson’s face. Most annoying player in the SEC. And seems like he has been there forever!

I honestly think 5 of us could get together and beat this team.

Best Officiating I've seen for a while.
That's Final Four good (in my humble opinion).

Struggling now. Still has not adjusted to the speed and physicality of the college game. Holiday time frame and unlimited practice time will be key for him. Needs to grind. When he does that he’ll get his break through like the other Frosh I believe. Talent is there.

Anyone know where I can find a replay? Thanks

Thir fans better hope they dont fire KP before the game Thursday because if they do Cal will try to beat them by 100. I wish he would anyway but he won't embarrass KP.

Let’s take this energy into the next game and THROTTLE Louisville. No let down games.

Is reminiscient of some of our deepest teams: '96 and '15 just to name a couple. It has to be demoralizing to the opponent to look up at the 16" mark when they're starting to feel a little winded and see Rob, Reed and Adou--3 of the highest energy guys on the team--waiting at the table to check in. Now add Ugo as well and we're as deep w/ quality players as we've ever been. That doesn't even mention Z, Burks and Hart, who are all players in their own right. If Z becomes available, and is the player his highlights seem to indicate he is, I don't see how Cal doesn't go w/ some form of a platoon. That's 10 guys who would start for 85% of teams out there.

This seems to be a big challenge for us year after year. I guess it is for other teams as it's used so much. So this is an honest question. What is the best/proper/correct/most effective way to defend a high ball screen to avoid wide open threes or really bad mismatches on switches? I wasn't a coach or (much of) a former player (though I was a former h.s. referee in Indiana) so I'm genuinely interested.

Last night, I believe it was RJ Davis who wrapped his arms about Bradshaw in an attempt to prevent him from scoring at a critical point of the game. The refs called a common foul. The refs gave us the foul but ruled it was a shot clock violation so the basket was disallowed. That call seemed to be a best case scenario for UNC.

Are intentional fouls no longer called unless it is an F1 or F2? It seems that is a bad rule, if so. Common sense tells me that it should be 2 shots and the ball for wrapping your arms around a player without going for the ball. Thoughts?

Lobbying by Mitch Barnhart Carried Weight With Gator Bowl Selection​

• Posted: December 16, 2023

Kentucky native John Showalter has been part of the Gator Bowl committee in Jacksonville, Fla., for 12 years but admits he even didn’t know Kentucky would be playing in this year’s TaxSlayer Gator Bowl until a few hours before the bowl pairings were officially announced.

“We have a big board in the bowl office and keep track of movement in both conferences (SEC and ACC),” Showalter said on WPBK-FM. “The Kentucky-Louisville game impacted both sides of our bowl and really changed things for the ACC side.”....... https://www.yoursportsedge.com/2023...tor-bowl-selection/vaughts-views/larryvaught/

From the games and the teams you have watched, who are the top 5 teams and where does UK fit in?

Look beyond your thoughts of the WBB team…
This is a creative way to gain NIL $$
Does this indicate the UK is embracing NIL more?

...ABSOLUTELY corrupt.

Stopping us on the break because of a fake injury on UNC's player

No call on a blatant open court shove by Davis on Dillingham, while calling every ticky tack foul on us in existence

Multiple face strikes by UNC players and no call or even a video review

I have a question - if the refs have to stop the game because a player lies on the floor covering his face, then every time there's a breakaway shouldn't every team do it?
