••OFFICIAL MISSISSIPPI STATE VS KENTUCKY GAME THREAD••

[MidseasonTweak]

This defense makes me want to scream

 

[UKWildcats1987]

4 threes.

 

[MychalG]

This team is CLUELESS on the defensive end..4 3's already for State..

 

[crawfords corner]

Wagner is such a lazy defender

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

If Kentucky would rebound state would have have 7-8 points right now

 

[UKortho]

Wow I just don’t understand why Sheppard doesn’t start. Maybe we wouldn’t have some of these slow a$$ starts if he was inserted from the beginning!

Just crazy. And DJ is DJing.

 

[SMiller992]

The racks in a three point contest play better perimeter D than this group

 

[rick64]

Only make 6 a game from 3...have hit 3 already.

Seems to happen every time doesn’t it. 🙄

Some on this board would have you believe all minutes are the same so it doesn't matter who starts as long as it is one of Cal's favorites. Lol

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I gotta give Cal credit…..and most know, I can’t stand the guy. So many new inbounds plays from under the basket. Kudos.

Or maybe the Bennies should get credit for clamoring for it for so many years.

 

[JFCats22]

At some point the players need to take some freaking pride and responsibility for their shit effort on defense.

 

[MychalG]

Maybe next season we will have some MEN that want to play instead of these tissue soft kids..

 

[Bkocats]

Evening all

Has to be Welch

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

UK will 100% not be a true title contenders with bullsh*t effort on D like this. That’s just reality.

 

[NociHTTP]

This team is CLUELESS on the defensive end..4 3's already for State..

I think this team is one of Cal's laziest. Mitchell went up and tipped one missed shot by Miss St, but didn't even attempt to jump on the second miss. And the bigs are so weak inside that we're rotating help-side defense to the basket instead of covering the perimeter. Just GIVING them three's.

Next year they will have a good defensive team. But no shooters likely.

 

[kywildcat41035]

That’s exactly it the whole team is playing $hit team defense I can’t name one player other than Ugo blocking shots that’s actually playing good defense!

They’re always scrambling because no one can stay in front of their man or fight through screens, and this causes too much help defense.

 

[jameslee32]

How many missed games is this now for Thiero? 4? 5?

Dilly DD banker floater. Cats by 7.
DJ Euro layup.
Ed putback. Cayts by 9

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

I’d give anything to have Oscar back on this team. Would have sent Bradshaw elsewhere but who cares ….

 

[permdaddy]

 

[crawfords corner]

Lets just leave the good shooting 3 point shooter to lazily drop down to double the big man.

 

[TriCountyCat]

most of these guys have never played a lick of defense. They were scorers. This is what you get with these young guys. MKG was an exception

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

State is forcing Kentucky to take tough shots

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Another open 3 to their good shooter

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

most of these guys have never played a lick of defense. They were scorers. This is what you get with these young guys. MKG was an exception

And the NBA prioritizes offense now more than ever.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Jesus edwards..

 

[LmdCat]

DJ has grown more as a player than any other player on the team.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Edwards just handed it to State like WTF!

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Edwards is just space at this point

[permdaddy]

I've said all year you have to want to play defense and rebound. This team doesn't so we need to outscore everyone to win. We've heard from coaches, Leach and Givens they are working on it hammering it in practice but the effort on gameday is BS.

 

[LmdCat]

It does appear that Bradshaw is playing more physical tonight.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

DJ has grown more as a player than any other player on the team.

Not the same player, but he is making the growth I saw SGA make. Now SGA became our clear best player that year, but Wagner is getting better and better every game

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Scoreless against bama, has 8 tonight sounds about right

 

[jeffky]

Oh no cal mass substitution here goes the lead

 

[jameslee32]

Dilly jumper just on the line.
