Good lord. The kid played 45 minutes and had 24-8-6. Some of you people have to be bots.This one is on Cal for starting Reed Shepherd. Twice he started and UK lost both games. Team tempo was slow all night.

The guy he guarded was 8 for 9 from the 3 point line. He is terrible at defense.Good lord. The kid played 45 minutes and had 24-8-6. Some of you people have to be bots.
Gtfoh with this stupid ass takeThis one is on Cal for starting Reed Shepherd. Twice he started and UK lost both games. Team tempo was slow all night.
I kinda think Rock is a real UK fan, who wants UK to succeed. He just lets his attachment to Cal to get in his way sometimesOh and just seconds ago I got accosted on another thread for criticizing cal. Get a clue dude. I’m not bass
they scored 84 points in regulation.Not fouling at the end when UF is in regular bonus is coaching malpractice. Cal loses these games because he’s too lazy to practice end game situations or pay attention to any of the other minor details that win these types of games.
Why do you hold out hope? How many seasons do you have to see how Cal can lose to so many teams that have less talent? It get worse every year. We are loaded and play so many close games. Don’t you agree no FF this year and he should leave?? It not how many years is acceptable to miss a FF? Isn’t 10 enough for a change?You could blame several people. Definitely an inexcusable loss IMO. Can't afford to lose games like that when you already lost to UNCW and USCjr. Stings a lot, this team's inability to play defense amazes me. We are too far in the season without any shown improvement. Our offense is good but our defense must make strides in the right direction. All is not lost, but definitely a bad loss tonight. Especially when we had the win in hand.
I'm staying up waiting for my i7-12700k to arrive overnight from Amazon. In the past I would have been livid after a home loss. Not anymore.This
I don’t even get upset anymore
Maybe it’s better not to be so invested anyway …
Cal and Reed blew itI would add Reed's constantly giving up 3's didn't help.
Who is Reed Shepherd? You're a fraud who doesn't even know the players' names.This one is on Cal for starting Reed Shepherd. Twice he started and UK lost both games. Team tempo was slow all night.
I’m watching The Orville againI'm staying up waiting for my i7-12700k to arrive overnight from Amazon. In the past I would have been livid after a home loss. Not anymore.
If you’re referring to Clayton he was 7-13 from 3. No one is saying Shepherds defense doesn’t have tons of room for improvement. But fact is we’re not in that game if not for him. And his coach effed it up by not having the team foul with 10 seconds left up 3.The guy he guarded was 8 for 9 from the 3 point line. He is terrible at defense.
What about all the other loses where Reed didn’t start? Can you explain those in your butterfly effect?This one is on Cal for starting Reed Shepherd. Twice he started and UK lost both games. Team tempo was slow all night.
I don't think tempo was the issue with Reed at pointWhat’s your point?
lol. I don’t have any attachment to an Italian man from Philly I’ve never met. I just want my team to win. I want that man to succeed because my team wins when he does. I call it like I see it. When I think he deserves criticism I give it to him. I was one of the first posters tonight to criticize his Decision not to foul. I think it got us beat. I criticize the players when they screw up too.I kinda think Rock is a real UK fan, who wants UK to succeed. He just lets his attachment to Cal to get in his way sometimes
I don’t either. The other guy said that.I don't think tempo was the issue with Reed at point
Lot's of factors led to us blowing it.Cal and Reed blew it
Well. It was stupid. We lost because of that, among other things. But I guarantee we win if he does the right thing there
heh, sorry man..not sure how that happened. I thought I was responding to himI don’t either. The other guy said that.
I think I actually like you, rockfly. 😁lol. I don’t have any attachment to an Italian man from Philly I’ve never met. I just want my team to win.

Y’all think anyone who doesn’t show psycho anger all the time is a nut hugger. He’s protected by his contract and he’s not getting fired so I don’t even waste my time with all that. I want this Mfer to win every single day and I get pissed when he doesn’t.
See, there is the problem. Cal “thought”.
Absolutely. He pays no attention to the little things that win close games. Just going thru the motions collecting checks.the bigger issue that, while I'll admit, that not all coaches would have told their players to foul in that situation, that is an example of where you have to question just how serious Cal is about getting a win.
and I am 100% serious when I say that. That's a check out moment on coaching.
He wants to win. Probably more than us. He just F’d up at the end of regulation. Sometimes he’s bad at his job.the bigger issue that, while I'll admit, that not all coaches would have told their players to foul in that situation, that is an example of where you have to question just how serious Cal is about getting a win.

He’s been bad at his job for a couple of years now. At least finishing it out.He wants to win. Probably more than us. He just F’d up at the end of regulation. Sometimes he’s bad at his job.
Agreed. He needs to come off the bench going forward. Refuses to guard his man, ball-watches way too much, makes TERRIBLE passes (especially when going out of bounds), refuses to shoot the ball at times. The argument used to be that he needed to start because not doing so was putting the team in a hole. No, he's allowing teams to come back with his poor defense. Same result. So leave him on the bench until he gets on board.This one is on Cal for starting Reed Shepherd. Twice he started and UK lost both games. Team tempo was slow all night.
We have lost more games at home than I ever thought we would. Hell I think he’s better on a neutral court than at home sometimes. I think he’s getting nervous at home cause he knows he will catch hell for losing (as he should). But he’s tighter at rupp nowHe’s been bad at his job for a couple of years now. At least finishing it out.
I'm sure he *wants* to win , but he's a hall of fame coach, he's coached hundreds of wins. This should be muscle memory at this point. This is more about a let it ride attitude because he isn't as edgy, as hungry, as motivated as the Cal who arrived at Kentucky with something to prove.He wants to win. Probably more than us.

I think he’s scared of losing at home. Can’t coach scared and tight. The players smell it on yaI'm sure he *wants* to win , but he's a hall of fame coach, he's coached hundreds of wins.

A loss simply doesn't impact him like it did prior to his contract and his decision to develop a legacy outside of coaching - and no one will convince me otherwise.
This year he was re-energized, probably because at some point, either thru is own or someone getting thru to him, that his past recent performances were quite frankly embarrassing and he'll be remember more for his recent failures than his early wins - so he put this team together, but he can't help himself. He just doesn't have that edge as a coach.
I don't see it. I think its too easy for him to shrug off a loss and go home. Tomorrow is another dayI think he’s scared of losing at home. Can’t coach scared and tight. The players smell it on ya
That’s fake as hell. He’s embarrassed. Trying to downplay it. Big ego guys do that.I don't see it. I think its too easy for him to shrug off a loss and go home. Tomorrow is another day
Dunno man. Cal’s backside tends to pucker up tighter than a snare drum in close games.I don't see it. I think its too easy for him to shrug off a loss and go home. Tomorrow is another day
