We need 2 makes from him today. It needs to happen. He’s been an anomoly all season, today, he hits 2 from the outside.
CJ Frederick
- Thread starter kyjeff1
- Start date
I sure hope you’re right but I won’t hold my breath. If we’re gonna win, Reeves needs to shoot like he did Friday.
Totally agree …somebody besides Reeves has to make one
I totally agree this would be the time for him to start shooting some shots. He does this , Reeves stays on fire, and Oscar keeps rebounding at the clip he did the other night or even close we will make the final 4 and maybe even further!

Yea, just don’t get it. How does he miss all of them? The new Josh Carrier.
I have no idea. He was literally wide open on back to back 3 clanks yesterday.
Just give us some Cameron Mills type mojo.
Don’t have to play 30 minutes. No pressure. Do what you’ve done your whole life. Open let it swish!

Fredrick is a classic example of sports psychology 101. He’s a great shooter, by past performances, but his personality doesn’t blend well with the big stage.
His only weakness is between his ears. He just needs some confidence to get going, and maybe today will be the day he figures it out.

The guy is 7 for his last 36 from the field.
I repeat, 7 for 36!!!!!!
It pains me to say but we’d be the title favorite if Dontaie Allen was replaced with CJ right now.

Dontaie actually shot pretty well in 2020. 2021 not so much. I don't get it. It's like we kill the confidence of some of the shooters that come into this program.
Yeah, Fredrick has gotten the most wide-open looks all season and he just can't make them. But those 2 yesterday had me thinking "it has to be the ribs, right?" I mean, not many experienced Div. I Guards are going to miss both of those.
He’s definitely due to go on a hot streak. Today’s is a great day to start. GO BIG BLUE!
Yes, the second one was wide open, and it wasn't even close. He's broken. I hate to say it because I'm rooting for him, but he doesn't need to see the floor at this point. He gives us absolutely nothing right now.
I won’t put it all on Fredrick but the “guards”(I’ll include Livingston and Adou) outside of Reeves have to give some offense. Wallace is shooting sub 30% from the floor(not just 3) his last 8 games. Fredrick has made 2 shots since February 4th. Chris is 1 for his last 13 from 3. Gotta get something from these guys to win and continue to have good Antonio/Jacob.
Two threes would be HUGE. I’ve been saying the key to a run is we need to
1. Get SOMETHING offensively from 1 of the 3 guards off the bench (Frederick, Thiero, or Wheeler if he plays)
and
2. Cason’s gotta find his offense again

Are you effing high? Allen shot like crap last year against sub 300 OOC OPPONENTS.
Fredrick is basically a decoy at this point, isn't he? Still need him to provide short breathers for the Guards I guess. He still doesn't turn the ball over a lot, although much more prone to turnovers now than he used to be - which I attribute to his lack of confidence again contributed to by his injuries.
I agree, his production is much needed. What worries me though, is him trying to guard their fast guards, therefore he must score because he's a big liability on Defense. If our guards can control their guards and Oscar and Wallace can stay out of foul trouble we'll win, IMO.
I don’t think he really wants to shoot it, especially after he misses his first attempt. As soon as the ball hits his hands, it’s a quick touch pass, he gets rid of it even if he has a decent look. The only way he has been shooting it is if he’s open for more than 6 foot from somebody. If he’s not scoring, he can’t be on the floor for long.
You're right...I guess that is one thing he gives us is that other teams still guard him on the perimeter which spaces the floor a bit. I keep waiting for other teams to give him the Wheeler treatment, but it hasn't happened yet.
Either Frederick is going to have to hit some 3s or Kentucky is going to have to get points like they did in the Arkansas game from theiro & Collins
And Wallace, sadly, is 14-65 from deep in 2023. His percentage is inflated by Nov/Dec stats from outside. He needs to make some threes in this tournament, too.
CJ has been a disappointment but I still can’t imagine finishing the season and him not having a moment in a big game. I hope it’s today.
Ok. I don't think that would make me amend anything I said. I appreciate Fredrick being willing to go out and play when many probably wouldn't (takes 6 weeks for broken bones to heal - assuming you don't do something to cause more problems). But he just doesn't have much to bring at this point other than a warm body.
I'd say he's long past shitting shots, unless he drinks the glass too.
Josh Carrier could get it done in practice. CJ probably can’t even do that.
😂😂😂😂 I corrected that for you I didn’t want to see CJ start drinking glass next! 😂😂😂
Maybe he needs to down a couple before tipoff. The guy can shoot, and I don't think it's his ribs affecting his shot. It's his noggin.
