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

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.
Not just 3's, our 2 HS All-Americans(Wagner, Edwards can't make layups either.

Edwards is just SOOOOOO WEAK he can't take ANY contact and Wagner can't get it over bigger players but continues to drive into them and force up shots that don't fall.

Florida is guarding the 3 pt line very well.

Until Cal coaches for our team instead worrying about feelings we ain’t going nowhere
Bradshaw does not deserve minutes
Edwards has missed 2 bunnies
Wagner can’t get by and finish
That’s why these guys are dropping like lead balloons in draft
Can’t hide em Cal
If Cal rolls out the same lineup to start the 2nd half that started the game it will be sheer incompetence at this point.

Yep. On the last Edwards missed layup, DJ got hip checked to the ground going for the rebound and no call. UF had 7 fouls for a LOOOOONG time and not another damn one called.
Refs are not our problem. 3 pt defense and poor shot selection is the reason we are down.

Plus Florida wants it more and is playing with more emotion and effort on defense.

We play 4 feet off the 3 pt line on defense smfh
 
We have had 4 3s roll out. Florida has made 2 banked 3s. We are down 8. I think we are in ok shape.
 
Will be interesting to see the rest of season if Cal really wants to win games or it’s still just about showcasing guys. Bradshaw is a project. Shouldn’t play more than 10 minutes a game. Onyeso less than that. Edwards is deserving of only spot minutes at this point when Adou comes back. He has a team that can win a bunch of games. But it comes with starting Wagner, Reed, Mitchell, Adou, and Reeves. With Dillingham as the microwave off the bench. If he’s hot give him minutes. If not, sit him. The guys I mentioned at first of post provide rest or foul trouble minutes to include Burks. That team can win a national title. The team Cal feels compelled to play can’t win the SEC.
 
It's absolutely amazing the home whistle teams get in the SEC. Unless your us at Rupp. Then the home whistle isn't near as good. Doesn't help we're playing like trash can juice either.
I agree. Its so dumb. The frequency of Kentucky getting home cooking is way lower than most teams. Most bluebloods get that easy but KY. If we could play defense and make layups we would be nearly tied right now
 
Tbf to Edwards he got contact on that last layup and the refs said “Lol no”.
Maybe a little bit I don’t really think he was found. He shied away from contact. Which he always does. Hopefully he can work on that moving forward.
 
What about the missed free throws by UF?
Florida as a team shoots free throws in the low 60 percentile. So there is nothing out of character or surprising about that. What about us only hitting one 3-pointer?

I agree with most everything except that national title part. I don't see this team making it past the sweet 16 unless they grow up...a lot.
 
Why does Bradshaw watch the ball come off the rim instead of blocking out and going after it???!!!!

He allowed that big GOOFY white dude to go up over him for an offensive rebound that gave them the momentum to go a=on a run before the half.

So much for Cal stressing blocking out and rebounding from our Bigs!!!

I think the second half will turn around. i don’t see this uk team missing shots like the first half. just wish we would guard the 3pt shooters better.
 
I agree Sheppard should be in the game but he was playing timid when he came in the first time.
 
Adou would have helped in this game obviously. He may have gotten some of Edwards minutes and when he goes to the rim, he is looking for contact

Agreed!!!! Cal will ride Bradshaw and Edwards though, it’s just what he does. He can’t help himself.
 
6 point swing that last minute. We get fouled 2 of the last 3 possessions and no call. And Florida gets the easy 2. Guy shoved Wagner in the back and no call. Florida should've had 11-12 fouls but once it got to 7 the refs swallowed the whistles.

Officials aren't the reason we are losing. Defense, turnovers, and their absurd shots but it's like once they got to 7 fouls they decided well we've called too many on Florida better even it up. I hate SEC officials. Their isn't a group of people who are worse at their jobs than them.

I didn't say they were. But it should be 2-4 point game if they blow the whistle.

I'm not saying we don't get some at home but theres a difference.
