••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS SOUTH CAROLINA GAME THREAD••

[ThunderMash]

This is not the best team Kentucky has had in a while. Not sure why I keep seeing that. 6/14 of Kentucky's wins have come against Poop States, and they've been playing at home a lot. They have ONE win over a currently ranked team (admittedly, a very good win). Soon to be three losses against unranked teams. Just because they score a lot doesn't mean they're good.

* we are young *
* listen, these kids aren’t robots *
* I told them if you don’t shoot, I’m sitting you *

Just preparing myself….

 

[RMorris33]

The most annoying thing about tonight is South Carolina will finish middle of the pack in the SEC. "We live for moments like this" - irrelevant SC player

Yeah, we know, buddy. We know

 

[The_Answer1313]

We played like crap.
That being said, South Carolina has also played very well here.

 

[Pelosigalore]

They don’t poop ice cream

 

[CUJO_1970]

Losing to UNCW, blowing a 30 point lead against UGA, getting punked by TAMU and now a weak SC team....That's not what championship teams do. It simply isn't.

Too bad, this team was Cal's last chance. He's looks like he's done winning championships.

 

[TriCountyCat]

This is why they gave us a 7% chance to win the SEC.

 

[shaudyshaud]

It’s time to hand the keys to Dillingham as our PG. I don’t care how wild he is

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Arky will beat us

Wouldn’t shock me, Kentucky makes mid to shit teams looks way better than they are

 

[TankedCat]

USC with 20 assists, UK has 5

they took a punch in the mouth and everyone went hero mode. Cal telling us 2 weeks ago he addressed that.

 

[ukjenning44]

Is it June yet?

 

[YardCat]

That's five layups on inbounds in the past two games.

If I’m the other team just have it knocked out underneath

 

[KYExtemper]

It's beaten to death here but Rick Pitino could take his existing St. John's squad into this environment and they wouldn't be losing like this.

 

[March 22]

The reality is setting in that even this collection of talent can’t overcome the coaching deficit. Zero preparation, no adjustments, total fraud.

 

[LmdCat]

What was Mitchell doing. Why was he trying to pass the ball to Bradshaw?

 

[CincyUKFan]

I would be really curious to see the field goal percentage of the guys that Wagner guarded tonight and how many total points he has allowed.

 

[true blue1]

Pathetic performance tonight.

 

[HagginHall1999]

You starting to come around to the CCC side? Welcome.

I'll never mock the guy. I'm just saying if he can't win big with this group he isn't going to again.

 

[YardCat]

they took a punch in the mouth and everyone went hero mode. Cal telling us 2 weeks ago he addressed that.

Yeah he did, going down with his players

 

[shaudyshaud]

Not even close to what I said. Wagner is not the only player who has missed a layup tonight. But carry on.

There are a few guys that will do nothing but put all blame on him no matter how bad the bad the entire team plays lol

I do agree that he shouldn’t be the PG though . It’s too big of an adjustment for him .

 

[cathouse]

Cal getting Edwards some good minutes.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

The problem with Wagner is.. if you think past freshman had Cal by the balls... Wagner is that and then a whole lot more. Not only with who his dad is, but UofL was actually getting CB picks for him towards the end. I bet we had to pull a lot of strings and make a lot of promises to seal the deal, even if he was likely coming here all along.

He's not going to lose minutes.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Losing to UNCW, blowing a 30 point lead against UGA, getting punked by TAMU and now a weak SC team....That's not what championship teams do. It simply isn't.

Weak SC team? Dude they're about to go 16-3. That's weak? C'mon man. SEC road games are a bitch. Always have been.

 

[Mash 2.4]

You’re correct, It’s not Edwards fault that he was way overrated coming in. Or that we are getting embarrassed by SC again

But that’s been pretty obvious since day one. How come the guy making 9 mil a year hasn’t noticed it and made him earn his minutes?

 

[TFCats11]

It’s time to hand the keys to Dillingham as our PG. I don’t care how wild he is

Cal’s coaching philosophy is wild💯

 

[sluggercatfan]

Cal gave up. I’ve turned it off. What a joke.

Is this the downfall? Will Cal piss his pants with his best team since 2012?

Feels like it.

You can count on it!

 

[crawfords corner]

Id rather have Devin Askew than Justin Edwards

 

[ThunderMash]

Which one of our dinky coaches said the end of the Georgia game was a one-off situation?

 

[LmdCat]

What do you know, Edwards is back on the court. If this isn't a sign that Cal has toss in the towel I don't what know is.

 

[catben]

I hate to keep picking on the kid, but Edwards is NO WHERE NEAR a top NBA prospect.

He has been ISO'd every trip tonight. Whoever he is guarding is getting the ball to make a move.

 

[sefus12]

The reality is setting in that even this collection of talent can’t overcome the coaching deficit. Zero preparation, no adjustments, total fraud.

This isn’t all on Cal. These guys just folded tonight. We have no vocal, get-in-your-face leader on this team, so when things aren’t going well, there’s no player to right the ship.

 

[UKortho]

Why is Edwards in the game?????!!!!!!

He is HORRIBLE!!!!

I don’t think he would log minutes for S Carolina.

 

[fatguy87]

We didn't force USC into any defensive rotations. We had to score with the ball in 1v1 situations practically all night. It's why we didn't get many assists.

 

[UKNothinButNet]

CCC had to put Edwards in to close out the game, LMAO

 

[2Dope15]

Are they going to storm the court.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

From the opening tip to this point, Cal has done not one thing different. Once again we repeatedly get beat off the dribble and this clown doesn't have enough sense to try a zone. He just keeps watching his players get beat time and time again.

If I hadn't watched this very same thing happen countless times under Cal, I would seriously think he was throwing this game on purpose.

Hasn't even tried to press to speed up the tempo. He has absolutely no answers.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Id rather have Devin Askew than Justin Edwards

Don't say his name three times! He will appear back on this team!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Best defensive lineup? lol. There's 2 minutes left.. we need to score.

 

[know1]

All you people blaming Edwards are basically the scum of the earth. And also dumb as a box of hammers.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

We played like crap.
That being said, South Carolina has also played very well here.

The problem is that we are saying this about seven or eight losses each season where we have better talent. It's getting old.
