Seems like we play bad down there for some reason. If we can win this one, it would be a HUGE one!!

Truer words have never been spoken.

They continue bombing 3s off of the same offensive action. In to the fat dude, then when double comes he kicks out, wide open 3. Why in the world would we continue to do this when it's so obviously killing us?

Gotta say it’s been a very long time since I have felt this good about a Kentucky team. They are electric on the court, that excitement is definitely back for me. It certainly feels like Kentucky Basketball is on top of the world right now.

RIDICULOUS!!!

But Cal and our team just sit there and take it.

You would think a team full of NBA Draft picks would take that PERSONAL and use it as motivation down the road.

…….try to get ejected again.

That was some of his best coaching in seasons past.

It seems like a very legitimate thing to do when he’s on the podium before the media. I just don’t understand why these coaches are asked about elephants in the room.

“Cal, can you tell us why Justin Edwards continues to start and why he played so many minutes tonight against South Carolina?”

Win or win, right? Man some of you are insufferable. Love 'em when they win, but only when they win. I bid a Big Blue middle finger to all you who do this, buncha quitting pansy ass's. I'm a damn UK fan, win or lose. Bring it!

Since the end of the season we have lost our Director of Player Development(head of NIL deals), Video Coordinator,Assistant Coach, and eight players seven if Reeves stays which we should have had an answer on that already.I have watched portal after portal options go elsewhere without even pursuing them, we have basically seven players and none of them have any meaningful college experience. It is June. 6th and the program is heading down a dangerous road and none of the issues are being addressed.This falls on the nine million dollar a year man’s shoulders and he is too busy living in the past going to NBA games and getting his face on TV, or eating dinner with old friends out of town somewhere. I was a big supporter of Cal but I have seen through his little charade he still can turn it around but time and options are running out.We are the the University of Kentucky and to be in this situation at this late date is inexcusable. What the hell is he doing.

Cats were easy to guard, SC didn’t chase the drivers and leave shooters, they were extremely physical, UK panicked and resorted to one on one basketball all night

Defensively, this team has no collective will to stop anybody from scoring

The out of bounds defense is ridiculous

Is he is to going to have to swallow his ego and his pride and settle on the best 8 dudes to accomplish the mission of competing for a Championship with the players that are best suited for that task!

That’s not to say that the #9 or #10 guys won’t contribute along the way, but if he is serious about a second Title, he needs to put the NBA draft night BS behind him until he commits to that goal.

He has the team. He has the staff. He will ultimately make or break this by his own devices!

AND WHY start someone who gives you absolutely nothing on offense or defense ?

All 6 SEC teams we have played have scored their most or tied for the most points in conference play against us.

One of the worst defensive teams I’ve seen in a long time. Cant stay in front of anybody, can’t defend pick and roll, over help and get burnt, then just get lost occasionally

The home loss to UNCW followed by other inevitable tough road game defeats was going to make it hard any way, but tonight probably locked it. This team just got abused by a bubble team.

Now this program is looking at a decade without a 1 seed in the dance. The longest streak was 1984-1993. That also included years of probation. Think about that. Highest paid coach in the sport… 10 years and not a 1 seed.

Come on Cal sychophants… get your call sheet of quips ready.

This team, which has elite talent, will find its way to way too many losses.

Guess it’s a good thing only March counts.

Btw,
Cal is only 10-6 in the NCAA since his last 1 seed. Clearly he’s killing it come money time so no need to worry about the easier path a 1 seed offers 😂

Jinx?

The need of a new practice facility... No worries or blame for any other reason.

Hopefully the new one will come with a "defending the in bounds under the basket for dummies" book as well as the "offensive in bounds plays for dummies" book.

in light of Edward’s’ struggles, thought it would be interesting to look over some past freshmen who I remember struggled during their time here, and how their minutes changed over time. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and I didn’t look to see if there were other factors that might have also impacted their minutes.

Still believe in this team, but that was rough to watch. Their guards defended us extremely well. Reeves couldn’t get a shot, Wagner and Dillingham looked rattled on offense. I was most disappointed in Reed Sheppard. Only one field goal tonight? That has to change come Saturday

Mods/ Admins, can someone fix the “Bug” that’s preventing normal posting and replies to comments for Smartphones using portrait or landscape mode?

It’s been annoying AF for the past few days! Thanks in advance 👊🏻👊🏻

Seems to me like the best thing that could happen to Justin Edwards is for Cal to have enough humility to admit his mistake and let Justin come off the bench. It is unfair to him the amount of pressure put on him by Cat fans and the news media by, so far, not living up to expectations. He would have so much less pressure coming off the bench plus I believe the fans would start to rally around him and root for him to be successful. I am sure he is a good kid but the pressure has to be enormous! Come on Cal, do the right thing.

A 5 seed is more likely at this point. Our quad 1 and 2 numbers suck..we have a quad 3 loss. Our Kenpom and NET numbers aren't great. Our SOS isn't very good either.. ugh. So much fools gold with this team.

I thought the defense wasn’t important?

They make 11…. We only take 13 and make 4. 21 point difference.

This is the kind of game you will get in the NCAA Tournament. A tough half court game. If you can only play one on one while playing mediocre defense, you'll struggle to get out of the first weekend. Every single game we see wide open 3's by our opponents and we struggle to get open for ours against good defense. I've never seen a coach be this pitiful at teaching half court offense. It's been that way pretty much his whole time here.

This dribble drive offense just doesn't work well anymore. Plus it looks like we aren't even practicing defense with how bad we look. Players are getting lost and leaving guys wide open. Dillingham leaving the guy wide open in the paint while rushing out to the perimeter on the inbounds play is a prime example. All of the feel good moments from the first 3/4 of the Georgia game are a distant memory. It's been 50 straight minutes of garbage. Ten loss Cal and an early departure is inevitable with the games we have coming.
