Anyone know why Brea is listed as questionable for tomorrow?

[Smashcat]

I knew before I watched this they purposely wouldn't show Brea.

 

[SemperFiCat]

No, but is Georgia Ohio State or even Clemson? Not having Brea is one weapon missing, which means more pressure on everyone else. He’s our best shooter.

I get that. But it's still certainly a winnable game. Georgia is no juggernaut.

We will be their Super Bowl, and just hope we can score early and quiet the crowd. Georgia has beaten some decent teams and will be jacked. Need a big game from everyone, especially Butler.

Hear me out, if UGA really cared if he was at the shoot around, they would know. No reason to hide him on a UK video. Makes me think he isn’t playing tonight.

 

[BassProCat]

The line just went from -2.5 to -1.5

 

[TheDude73]

Lexington TV station made no mention of Brea’s not being available during their morning sports report today. Seems like this would have been newsworthy. Maybe they just fvcked up and missed it.

Bookies from Vegas probably got to them and told them to shut up because the mystery drives gamblers to gamble.

I thought the same about their "decent teams", but looking at their schedule there are really no decent teams they've beaten. Jury is still out on St. John's. They barely won against the likes of Tennessee Tech, Ga Tech, SC State and the mighty Grand Canyon. Three of these close games were AT Athens.

The two "decent" teams still in the Top 25 were Marquette and Ole Miss, and they lost badly to both.

Clemson hadn't beaten anyone neither before our game. Road games are tough.

 

[Zuma75]

I thought the same about Ohio State, and they kicked our butts on a neutral court.

We'll have to be insane to win without Brea. We have to play insane every game in order to win in the SEC with our lack of star power and total dependency on efficient, team basketball.

Nothing will ever come easy for this UK team in the SEC.

General rule with this team: just expect ugly, and don't hang on every single possession. Trust in their toughness and ability to (usually) figure something out.

Agreed.

They don't panic. The way they came back against Florida, Gonzaga, and Duke was impressive. They trailed by double figures in all three games.

Quit drinking about 6-7 years ago.. Wasn't much on drinking when I did drink..

You must not know how to do it correctly. It’s a science

Did back in the late 80s,, especially mid to late 90s when I basically lived in Richmond partying and bar hoping from Louisville to Nashville and most points in between.. And Marlows Country Palace..

Great. I think UGA will try and mug Brea anyway. Their only chance is to be allowed to rough us up and at the same time get us in foul trouble.
We got this though!!

I have never understood how it is that the team with the roughing up their opponent's strategy gets less fouls than the team that is getting roughed up.

That’s the only chance UGA has. They have to make this game a rock fight

 

[B.B.H.]

My biggest concern is foul trouble for Williams, Butler and Oweh. Georgia will attack and try to draw fouls at those spots. If we can bend without breaking, guard ok and play ok offensively, we leave Stegman with a win, something we haven’t done much recently

The Vols have mastered that strategy for years now it seems.

I don't mind the rock fight if the refs make the appropriate calls. If the appropriate calls are made, the rock fight will only last for so long before foul trouble will shut it down.

I agree but the problem is college refs let home crowds influence calls more than any other sport

Oops, sorry, I thought they had beaten those 2.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Yes, things would have come a bit easier for this UK team if they had landed a legit star like Lanier.

In terms of guys we went after that we missed on, he's in my top 15 "coveted but couldn't get" list over the last 30 years. Here's my list. It only includes guys I actually followed in recruiting at the time, so guys like Iverson didn't make the cut because I didn't really follow their recruitment.

My "All-Coveted but Couldn't Get" team:


#15. Larry Hughes (we had a shot, but he stayed home in St. Louis).
#14. Xavier Henry (I didn't know how much Wall hated him at the time).
#13. Chris Duhon (Tubby's missing link).
#12. Thaddeus Young (one of the coolest names ever).
#11. Kyrie Irving
#10. R.J. Barrett
#9. Malik Newman (I was so wrong about this kid).
#8. Zion Williamson
#7. Chaz Lanier
#6. Vincent Yarbrough
#5. Byron Mouton (fun player, and would have given us our three-point threat on that 1999 team).
#4. Andrew Wiggins (we all wanted this kid in Lexington)
#3. Darius Rice
#2. Ray Allen (most of this was retroactive when I saw him play during his first year at UConn).
#1. Tracy McGrady

Solid list. Wiggins would probably be my #1.

 

[TheDude73]

Clemson hadn't beaten anyone neither before our game. Road games are tough.

Well in our defense it was our first true road game.

Guess we will see soon! I like our chances for a comfortable win.
