••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS GEORGIA GAME THREAD••

[sefus12]

We need to help out Wagner on defense. Dribble past him to get a wide open layup is effective offense for Georgia.

Maybe it shouldn’t be so easy to just dribble right past him?

 

[KENTUCKY_FLYER]

I don’t wanna see one thread bitching about any of our guys tonight!

Changed my mind... Defence totally suckes.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

I legit want us to get blown out by someone. Only way these guys will wake up and play defense.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Feels like an NBA game with the complete lack of defense by both teams.

 

[chevyman 50]

This Ky D is terrible.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Game ain’t over apparently. Maybe our guys thought it was. Maybe Cal too?

 

[Fox2monk]

Given up 20 points in the last 4+ minutes. Yep, there's our defense

40 FT’s dude.

 

[BC_Wader]

FT
UGA 25-33
UK 11-14

There's that huge lead cut in half

 

[FilsonCat]

They let the center for UGA hook and hold on the clear out every single time.

 

[ib4ky]

Chewa is in lane 6-7 seconds!!!!
These refs are as BAD as any I've EVER seen!!!!

 

[Lazlo7]

I should have quit watching when we got to 100. Stall ball and lack of focus killing the mood

 

[CUJO_1970]

96-68 at 7:27.

22-7 UGA since. Absolutely pitiful

This has been a Calipari hallmark. His teams bleed leads at an astonishing rate.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

22 points for them in five mins is sad, Kentucky let a feel good blowout turn into a game they have to be carful about late

 

[Bkocats]

FWIW I’m not mad at our guys at all
Refs not only took the air out of the tires they slashed them
Utter BS officiating
UGA hasn’t really done anything to deserve credit for a comeback imo

 

[Jakarii]

Don’t ever let anyone tell you a ref can’t change a game. Exhibit 1A

The ref isn’t setting that screen then sealing so the guards can go down hill and score at the rim at will on Wagner and Shepard

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Have you watched him on the defensive side of the ball? Like at all?

18 points and 9 assists. He has played well
Offense is this team's calling card

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

pretty damn embarrassing to be honest.

 

[The_Answer1313]

We've basically seen UK in a nutshell here

Great offense
horrible defense.

 

[LmdCat]

Unfortunately, UK started having too good a time and turned a great game into one in which Cal should be pissed. You never disrespect the game or your opponent because good things can go badly quickly.

 

[NociHTTP]

I'm hoping Cal addresses this D soon. A lot of completely wide open layups, sagging 5-10 feet off shooters from deep, almost no understanding of where the ball is going to come off the rim.

 

[bbncal02]

I legit want us to get blown out by someone. Only way these guys will wake up and play defense.

Wtf? Go away.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

If Kentucky truly committed to trying to score 100 a game, I'm not too concerned what we do on defense.

There's a world where Kentucky could focus all it's efforts on creating an offense that's unstoppable with elite players at every position, and we still win the title, 105 to 87. It CAN be done. Simply outscore the other teams through blistering 3s, fast break points, high # of possessions, etc..

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

We're making these Georgia players look like the Denver Nuggets.

 

[Noxium322]

While our defense is dogshit, is 3 seconds a rule anymore? I swear I've watched 54 camp that lane all night run blocking on drives. Maybe it's the booze talking.

 

[megablue]

Have you watched him on the defensive side of the ball? Like at all?

Of all our guards, he is, by far, the best on defense … but, yes, he gets beat, too.

 

[HagginHall1999]

People need to realize Kentucky isn't playing College Basketball anymore. Again...we play one good half of defense and we aren't losing.

This is an NBA style. They are not worried about the other team scoring.

Instead look at blocks, steals, turnovers forced, points off turnovers...etc

 

[zannmann]

33- 14 on Free Throws.

 

[blubo]

Gonna have to start closing games out lol

History says cal will always make it a close game.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Embarrassing graphic if you are a UK guard - opponents’ guards have had career nights every game in Rupp this season.


Have some damn pride, boys.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

How do you not call that illegal screen

 

[MidseasonTweak]

The defense (lack of) ruins all the fun the offense creates.

Disagree

 

[oldsports_]

Point of emphasis here on out, play 40 mins, not 31

 

[RunninRichie]

Team checks out too quick.

 

[jameslee32]

UGA fouling down 13.
Tre nails both
UGA jumper and timeout. lol
1:19 left

 

[wildcat2243]

Chewa is in lane 6-7 seconds!!!!
These refs are as BAD as any I've EVER seen!!!!

Do they not call 3 secs anymore

It can definitely be done. It just makes it harder.

There's been a bunch of highly seeded teams that have had great offenses/poor defenses or vice versa. Most of them tend to fail

 

[bbncal02]

lol. Now they’re hitting BS fall away shots.

 

[Lazlo7]

How about playing some deep bench players who want to play

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Game was never in question. Easy dub

 

[LmdCat]

I'm hoping Cal addresses this D soon. A lot of completely wide open layups, sagging 5-10 feet off shooters from deep, almost no understanding of where the ball is going to come off the rim.

I don't blame Cal for the clown show that his team started playing around the 7 minute mark.
