Meanwhile, Justin Edwards has been awesome. Let's keep deflecting for John Calipari. His decisions have been incredible regarding Justin Edwards and tonight's rotations. I bet you were wearing your special beanie tonight when you posted this post to give you the mindset needed for such genius rebuttals.
I think Cals biggest fear was not that Sheppard would attend UK, his biggest fear was that Sheppard would be so good that he had no choice but to play him significant minutes over 'his' guys
SC had not scored a single point when Reed first entered the game and then they went on a run but Reed should start and can never be criticized blah blah.
And Reed still had more rebounds in 14 minutes than Wagner and Edwards had combined in 53 minutes.

Probably wishes pitino was still the coach, and not this clown
Shep played fewer minutes tonight than any game this season and we took an ass beating, coincidence?
I mean he went 1 of 4 for 3pts and 3 rebs in 15 mins while DJ went 2 of 10 for 4pts and zero rebs in 30 mins. I thought DJs selfish play when I was still somewhat close is what blew it open for Uscjr.
Yea I agree. It was a crap game all the way around. Had several guys who didn’t show up. They gotta be better.
Reed did not have a great game, but neither did anyone else. Time to regroup and tell them whomever plays defense and rebounds the ball will play and no one else will play. Problem solved!
Holy cow. Wagner was given 30 minutes? What a brutal game he played.
It’s unpopular here, but he is a slightly above average D1 player. All of his metrics back this up. He will have a decent game then two stinkers.
Ha yeah. Reed's offensive rating in conference play coming into the game tonight was almost 150 and he had a TS% of almost 78. He also led the team in steals. Unheard of shooting efficiency.
This is ridiculous, Reed had played like shit lately and was scared AF tonight. He will get it back but it wasn’t his night.
I have this dude on ignore. It’s one of the best things I ever did on this message board. I love not knowing what idiotic thing he said to lead to your response. I highly encourage everyone to put that dude on ignore.
Because you said he was scared he would be so good he couldn’t play him over his guys. That’s ridiculous. He’s obviously one of the best players but he’s not had it lately. He will play a lot when he gets it back. Now you want to talk about Edwards playing, that makes no sense. He should have rode the pine beside him.
there is nothing ridiculous about it given Calipari's desire and past history to play his 5 stars
Sure it is, the narrative that he doesn’t wanna play Reed is dumb and not founded in reality. Lot of things to be critical about but that isn’t close to one of them.
I don’t know Cal at all but you can provide no evidence otherwise than he comes off the bench.
He can’t stand Reed getting any credit. He’s one of those that thinks for Wagner to be good or appreciated, Reed has to be bad. Every game thread he picks apart anything Sheppard does wrong but says it’s the “team” when his favorites play bad.
