******Bama vs UK Official Game Thread...Dedicated to CINDOG******

[zannmann]

Why is Whitney even playing? He has not proved he deserves any playing time.

 

[DanCat17]

Whitney is the most worthless player to ever play under Cal.

 

[STL_Cat]

Whitney takes that shot because he has absolutely no idea what else to do with the ball when he gets it

 

[Fox2monk]

9 offensive boards someone other than Nick has to rebound.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Defense back to sucking

 

[crawfords corner]

I feel like Im watching a game where they have car lights pointed at the court.

 

[JFCats22]

UK shooting 60%, Bama shooting 32% and it’s only a 2 point game.

We are absolutely killing ourselves and it’s dumb as hell.

 

[JesusCal91]

Whitney is the most worthless player to ever play under Cal.

once again we don't have that many players

 

[BassProCat]

Rebound the effin ball

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Has Whitney ever not shot the first time he touches the ball?

 

[ck-2]

Too many guys trying to block shots.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Can’t anybody on here tell me why we played awesome defense and block a shot then absolutely stop and do not go over the ball. Pissing me off.

 

[track42]

Poor Whitney just can't play this season.He really needs to work on his game this offseason.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Whitney gives up a wide open three and then takes a contested three.

why the hell does he still play????

He is keeping Bama in the game all be himself.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

CAL bound and determined to get Whitney minutes. Kid is lost at the moment gives us nothing

 

[Fox2monk]

Defense back to sucking

It’s clockwork, solid defense and can’t score. When we score we stop playing defense. Soon as we mesh the two we will look great!

 

[germuk]

Alabama is really not playing very well and we’ve given them probably 10-12 points just by not being smart. We should be up 15 but keep getting in our own way with turnovers and too many guys jumping for blocks

 

[DanCat17]

once again we don't have that many players

I understand that. But it doesn’t give him an excuse to take one three a game that will absolutely never have a chance. He is trash.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Bama much quicker. This is going to be a struggle. Cats need to take care of the ball better

 

[TriCountyCat]

They are just switching until Sestina gets one on one and taking him to the rack. Good coaching for them.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Whitney shooting 3's.

Never unless shot clock or game clock.

 

[UKGrad93]

UK shooting 60%, Bama shooting 32% and it’s only a 2 point game.

We are absolutely killing ourselves and it’s dumb as hell.

Yep. Unforced turnovers and 3 guys trying to block one shot.

 

[ubtrapper]

Whitney is the most worthless player to ever play under Cal.

He may be but Skal was pretty bad

 

[HoldMyBeer]

I guess coach thinks he can start Whitney to try and get him going? I mean what other reason could he have?

Whitney didn't start...

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Terrible rebounding, terrible awareness of cutters, and bad defense on drives so far. As poorly as they have shot the 3, we needed to get a lead.

 

[WildcatFan60]

Not defending pick and roll been a problem for us all year. ALA driving and dishing. We are getting caught on double/triple teaming.... got to stay home.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Bama has themselves a good coach. Like his style of play for sure.

 

[chroix]

The drop off between our primary five players and when the bench gets run is no bueno

 

[HenryMuto]

Troubling that Kentucky is only up 3 when they are shooting 55% from the field and Bama is shooting 33%.
9 Off boards for Bama, 7 Kentucky turnovers have led to Bama having 12 more shots.
Bama 30 to Kentucky 18 shots

 

[zannmann]

Out rebounded by 3 and 4 more turnovers are killing us. That's 7 possessions.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Has Whitney ever not shot the first time he touches the ball?

He is definitely going to get he is that’s for sure. I agree with Cal. If Whitney just rebounded, played great defense, lob dunks etc. he would be great. Taking Corner three-pointers is not his shot, but it’s easy that’s why he does it. It’s harder to do that other stuff.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I mean they missed one on Bama but it’s not like the travel calls on us we’re bad. They were obvious travels

Its like offensive holding in football.. you can find it everytime if you look for it.

Just odd to me that three different 5-star players, are having trouble doing something that's learned in the 7th grade.

 

[JFCats22]

Bama not even playing well and UK shooting as well as they possibly can.

2 point game, UK should be a little concerned. If Bama starts hitting threes this will be a battle.

 

[DanCat17]

He may be but Skal was pretty bad

But Cal figured Skal out, eventually. Kid had a decent mid range. Whitney has absolutely nothing.

 

[Cats192]

Lead evaporated quickly

 

[Fox2monk]

He may be but Skal was pretty bad

Skal is better by far.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

This team finds a way to play to the competition, higher or lower.

 

[ukfan041]

EJ hitting

 

[Fox2monk]

Omg EJ got that shot. It’s cold in hell tonight.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

EJ stroking the jumper looks more comfortable today.
