Cal and his stubbornness with who he starts at the beginning of game and 2nd half

[fisherscatfan]

100% cost UK this game. His swaggy ass after the Auburn game was foretelling that he was going to show the UK basketball Bennie’s that the fans are idiots.

He is right that I am an idiot for believing in him after the Auburn win.

DJ Wagner does more harm than good. I don’t know that he plays a minute in the NBA and I wouldn’t mind if he didn’t play another minute here.

The title said it all and it's the reason we've lost half our games.

IMO, CCC told the Wagner family that DJ will be the starting guard on this team in order to get him to commit. I wish that DJ was the starting guard for Kenny Payne.

That and leaving DJ in too long. Dude, looks like he hasn't played basketball in a year.

Said it for weeks- DJ is the most overrated player on the team. His offense is- and has been- horrible.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Come tourney time, it best be Reed, Dilly and Reeves for 38 minutes per game. Thiero for 30. Then let Mitchell, Ugo, and the rest fight for the rest.

Play the players who can perform NOW, not the ones you think will get NBA minutes 4 years from now. It’s maddening and Cal rightfully deserves to be fired when it costs us our final game

You guys aren't looking at the big picture. These green room guys need minutes so ESPN has something to show in June. Plus, the longer we hang around in the post season the less time Cal has in his Nashville home with his dogs. You're just being selfish caring more about the greatest program in history being run into the ground than caring about the Wagner family getting another millionaire and Cal's good boys getting some extra pets.

This is one season that I would be happy if the projected one and done's ARE one and done (not Shep!).

If Cal is actually trying to win - it’s time to have a heart to heart with Wagner and Edwards. Its time for them to come off the bench and play no more than 10-15 minutes each. And, honestly, if Edwards can just give us a couple threes per game in limited minutes - he may be more valuable than DJ.

But they aren’t green room guys and everybody in the college basketball and NBA world who knows it. Does Cal? He really can’t be this blind, right?

Those guys will be extremely lucky to go at the end of the first round. But it’s most likely at this point that they’re second round picks with no guaranteed contracts.

Yep. It’s insane that we can all see it, but our $9M per year Coach not only doesn’t see it (intentionally or not) but he wont even tinker with it to see if it might actually work. Like what in the **** are we even doing??

DJ might have been a great HS player but he cannot drive to his right and shoots less than 30 % from the floor. Definitely will be playing in the D League after being picked in the second round. Edwards will go in the second round as well. Bradshaw may go late in round 1 because of his height but not sure he will play any significant time in the league

Well this year we know their daddy and/or we can't upset Lebron's friend or he might send the next crop of AAU stars to USC. Sad part is a guy like Bradshaw will show up to predraft workouts, hit a bunch of 3s and end up getting drafted way higher than his play deserves. Same with Edwards. We'll be trying to explain to the next generation in a decade why Rob and Reed came off the bench regardless of performance, why Cason watched a 5'4 quitter run point, why Grady stood in the corner, why a team with a POY got run out of the gym on middle school backdoor cuts by a 15 seed that plays in a 300 seat arena, etc etc etc.

This guy has had at least 3 times the NBA level talent of the next closest coach in the modern history of the game not to mention all the great college players and we all know the long list of ridiculous stats, losses, and tournament flame outs he's put up with it the last decade. Now he won't talk to the media, treats the fans like we are stupid, and sends his assistants out to do the pre and post game on top of the losing. It's time for him to go play with his kids in Nashville and let someone else get us back atop the mountain where we belong.

I guess you didn’t notice that we were on fire to start both the first and second half. When he took the starters out in the first things went to hell.

Had 16 points in first 6 minutes then score 8 points the next 11 minutes. Today, Reed and Dilly hampered the offense in the first half. Reed didn’t play make at all the whole game. Dilly did it all on his own the last 8 minutes of the game.

DJ didn’t play well, but we got off to great starts both halfs Edwards was actually pretty good, Reeves was great the 1st half, hampered by foul trouble in the 2nd half. Rob terrible in the 1st half, and a bucket in the 2nd half. Everybody else pretty bad.

UK scored 6 quick point and then shit the bed. Reed does more than score and has to be respected at the 3 point line. No opponent is respecting Wagner‘s shooting or his ability to finish. The totality of Reed’s game is light years ahead of Wagner.
