••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS SOUTH CAROLINA GAME THREAD••

[rick64]

DJ/Reeves/Reed 2-16 FGA combined.

 

[LmdCat]

Again, where is the genius who thinks Kentucky is so good that it doesn't hurt wasting early minutes of games starting Edwards?

 

[YardCat]

Been posted here 100 times at least. Oh- but our offense is so good.

Defense looks good, held them to 33pts

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Welll.. Shep will be back for next year at this rate. And another game where Edward's further shows he won't be in the NBA anytime soon.

 

[GoNoles111]

This will be how the Cats will exit the Big Dance. Shots won't always fall and your defense sucks. Opposing team making shots they haven't made all year.

Defense has been fine lol. They have 33 and a lot of those have been contested prayers from 3.

 

[ukfan117]

These guys better come out playing hard. I just can't understand how they can score like mad and then not wanting to run or drive it inside.

 

[UKortho]

That’s crap. Cal has always had really good defensive teams. That’s why this is frustrating.

Been an issue before this year.

 

[bbncal02]

SC is 15-3 for a reason. And, of course, we are their Super Bowl.

I. Don’t. Care.


We’re effing Kentucky with the number one class and offense in the county.

 

[Kerry Kat]

13-5 SEC record, 3 seed.

Pretty accurate right now. The SEC is tough this year. I really thought we would go on a 9 game win streak but I’m stupid.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

USC 6 of 12 from three. At some point the players need to play some defense and take the blame for their lack of effort. It’s unbelievable

Yep.

Embarassing.

 

[JFCats22]

Only 2 assists is the issue. Need better ball movement and we won't shoot 34% in 2nd half. We will win this game.

I don’t believe this and neither do you.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

This team isn’t winning crap this year not with this guy as the coach!

And if he can't get to a final four with this team he probably will never get to one again because he has at least seven draft picks on this squad.

Cal

This will be how the Cats will exit the Big Dance. Shots won't always fall and your defense sucks. Opposing team making shots they haven't made all year.

But we'll have Edwards pedaling backwards down the court, pointing to where his guys need to be. LOL.

 

[NoDef]

Ugono helped down low. Edwards just on the switch I believe.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Not that worried. If they’ve lost ground 5 minutes into second half then maybe just not our night.

 

[ruppcat]

USC 6 of 12 from three. At some point the players need to play some defense and take the blame for their lack of effort. It’s unbelievable

they are hitting some very long threes to.

 

[gharding07]

Can’t get any rhythm when the refs swallow the whistle every drive. It’s absurd how often this happens on the road

Can't blame the refs when we can't make a shot. And everything is one on one.

Damn man we gotta whole half to play. You giving up on these guys already?

 

[FilsonCat]

You can't take games off on the road in the SEC. It is 5 on 8 on the road every game for UK.

 

[bbncal02]

Been an issue before this year.

Some. But not like this. This is stupidly bad.

Will this be the year Stoops and Cal both get embarrassed in Columbia?

 

[kywildcat41035]

Why was Big Z on the bench he only had 1 foul he’s the best big guy we have!

 

[YaySports]

Refs just allowing physical play and most of our team is soft physically bc we’re young. Our most physical player arguably is hurt which doesnt help. They have all the energy at home. Was essentially the same story last loss. Guys need these kinda games and need to toughen up

 

[LmdCat]

Been posted here 100 times at least. Oh- but our offense is so good.

It has also been posted 101 times that if we had a coach with a clue he would insert a defense that this team can play. We get totally lost attempting to switch on defense.

 

[UKortho]

Kentucky ain’t winning tonight, they folded and are playing like chicken shits with any contact.

I think they will win actually.

 

[ukjenning44]

This team isn’t winning crap this year not with this guy as the coach!

Exactly! He won’t make a single adjustment at half time. Our only prayer is that we have a couple of players that go Michael Jordan on SC.

 

[GoAndRunIsGoneAndDone]

It's a dogfight, for sure. Gotta get inside to the bigs, start drawing fouls and kick it out for open looks.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Kentucky will make fricking Arkansas look good Saturday to

 

[TheDude73]

We will win this game. I haven’t done a halftime prediction in a while, but the last time I was almost dead on.

Cats 66
Cocks 55

 

[JwUKFan11]

He started out absolutely on fire but lately has been more of what I think most of us expected. He's a really good player but he won't be in the first round by years end.

 

[UKortho]

It has also been posted 101 times that if we had a coach with a clue he would insert a defense that this team can play. We get totally lost attempting to switch on defense.

I make it 102

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Can you imagine the heat on Calipari if he goes down in the tournament playing like this?

 

[crashtestdummy]

Why was Big Z on the bench he only had 1 foul he’s the best big guy we have!

Why does Edwards get minutes....at all?

 

[ManitouDan]

No ... Calipari is showing us his coaching prowess with his insufferable substitutions !

Just horrible , Taking Dilly out when he was on fire PISSED ME OFF in a huge way .. The same 5 guys haven't played 2 min together .... And IMO , with Z now playing , Ugo can be a freaking victory cigar . Hes a damn project not a draft pick

 

[kywildcat41035]

Some. But not like this. This is stupidly bad.

Will this be the year Stoops and Cal both get embarrassed in Columbia?

I’m telling you the similarities between Cal and Stoops are so much alike it’s not even funny! Coaching and all!

 

[megablue]

2 assists ... not going to get assists when nobody is making shots.
Only 4 turnovers

 

[UKortho]

We will win this game. I haven’t done a halftime prediction in a while, but the last time I was almost dead on.

Cats 66
Cocks 55

Yep. We will win.

 

[catlogic15]

Edwards exposed x 100. Can’t win with this. So it won’t change, so Sweet 16 the ceiling.

 

[NoDef]

All Cal can do is scream at the refs..One on One ball. getting out rebounded..can't guard the 3..PURE TRASH BASKETBALL..letting SC dictate the pace..

He needs to scream tonight. One foul call at the goal tonight and it was one they had no choice but to call. No way can a physical team like USC only foul one time at the goal. We haven't played good, but they are getting a good home whistle. We have driven the ball quite a bit, but apparently they have been very good at swiping and getting anything besides the ball.
