***Kentucky at Florida Offical Game Thread***

will our almighty leader calm the team at the half?
Dude we had a chance to cut it to 4 before half and cal is letting them run around out of control instead of running a play. He just tells who to play and let’s them do whatever they want
 
And Marquette down 10 to Seton Hall on the road.

That being said we played bad and they played lights out 1st half and we are only down 8. That says a lot to me and I like our chances to win still.
A bad Seatin Hall at that. CBB is nuts right now.
 
Let’s see -

Reed sits as UK falls behind. Cal does nothing.

Wagner can’t score or guard his shadow.

Bradshaw is a bust.

Edwards is a bust.

Dillingham looks like an out of control AAU idiot out there showing off and getting schooled by a serious team.

Mitchell and Reeves are keeping this within reach.
 
We're going to lose some road games in the SEC. We almost always do. While I want us to win, I want to see us play solid basketball as much. We're developing for March. No games off.
 
No Edwards please Burks could not play as bad
Edwards hasn't played that poorly. The entire team has been out of sink, but they will get on track in the second half and UF's free throw shooting will do them in.
 
A bit too much overreacting in this thread. First road game for most of the team, they were a bit rattled. The three point disparity and our turnovers are the main issue. If the current 3 point percentages stick around for the second half then we lose, not many teams win making 10% from 3 while their opponent shoots 40%.

Half time adjustments and coaching should help the turnovers come down. If we can hit some shots I like our chances. Hopefully the three point shooting normalizes for both teams.
CCC and halftime adjustments usually don’t go together in the same sentence. What’s he changing up sure as hell isn’t Defenses

They would be leading any team in the country today with all of their shots falling, especially the two bank shots from straight on at the top of the key. You usually don’t see one a game but Kentucky always sees one, today two in a half.
 
And then Shep has a stuck on rim three. Sometimes there’s nothing you can do in life but take it and flip off the world.
New Years Resolution? Kinder, Gentler, Bbn02 during a tough game? I want last years version back.
 
I hear ya, but Reasons why teams don’t always do what’s hey want to do, and that’s why good coaches make adjustments all the time.

Matchup zone covers perimeter shooters better than man when you’re getting beat off the dribble and ball gets roster to open shooters so easy. In matchup some you aren’t chasing so can match up on shooters easier, left bigs coved rim

I kind of look at it like this tho. We hardly ever play zone under Cal. I would venture to guess that we don't spend a whole bunch of time in practice playing zone.

I'm not sure I'd want to switch it up on the first conference road game of the season.

Regardless this team needs to play better defense, whether that's man to man or zone.
 
Florida had 7 fouls compared to Kentucky's 1 at some point. If you thought the refs were gonna tack on any more for Florida, I've got waterfront property in Tennessee to sell ya.
 
I missed it the first half, but I looked at the box score and one three pointer. I hope we’re not a team that lives and dies by the three.
 
Don't worry, guys. If you like other teams banking in threes, I'm sure the other shitty SEC squads have a few locked and loaded when Kentucky comes to town.
And then they're shocked when nobody shows up to their next game and they don't cash in bank in threes.

As bad as UK has played just remember 6 of UF's points came from 3-point bank shots. Without those and if UK had hit half the layups they missed, UK would be winning. So, UF has played the best they can and UK has played their worst and is only down by 8 on the road. It isn't as bad as it looks.
What about the missed free throws by UF?
 
One comment and will be only one as I'm sick and overly upset by anything right now. If the staff is watching and I'd like to think they are--do NOT insert Aaron Bradshaw in this game one more second. He doesn't want to play. he might as well go fake break his foot again and just sit if the BS he is putting on the court tonight is what he thinks is acceptable for competing. Gutless would be a compliment to the product he's put on the court.
I know we all hoped Bradshaw would be the real deal but he is just not. He looks so timid and frail on the court. The thought of him playing professionally next year is extremely laughable.
 
Tbf to Edwards he got contact on that last layup and the refs said “Lol no”.
He's just so easy to guard when he's going to the hole. Last game he actually went right once and laid it up with his right hand.
 
This a physical game and Bradshaw doesn't have the strength for it. Onyenso has been better. Really missing Thiero's toughness.
