Kentucky vs Arkansas Game Thread

[Noxium322]

Bruh, let's not lose this. Fking hell push your guys to overcome the Calipari mirage of basketball bullshit.

 

[CrimsonCats]

I feel like we’re pressing a little bit right now. Arkansas is hitting some shots, and it feels like we’ve rushed a few trying to get it all back at once. Still lots of game left to get it fixed, but we need to settle down and execute.

 

[fatguy87]

Why are we not just packing the lane like everybody did against us the last 15 years? There's no reason to guard DJ Wagner outside the paint.

They have 11 made 3’s

 

[catfan220]

Now I’m rooting for the Cal special. Get a nice lead, switch to stall ball, lose all rhythm and watch the lead drip away

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I'm glad our team doesn't quit as easily as a lot of the fans do

 

[ala_kat2]

We cannot even shake loose a player for a shot other than Amari one on one.

 

[HoneyMoon155]

Absolutely pathetic if they lose this game. Unacceptable

 

[TheWyldKat]

lol how crazy is it that Cal is gonna blow out mark pope

Wondering if we are gonna try to play a little tiny bit of defense

 

[2Dope15]

Put in Dontaie Allen!!

 

[thebluestripes]

our guys getting punked right now and just accepting it.
smh

 

[JimboBBN]

Come on boys

 

[FirewithFire]

This is Ohio State and Bradshaw all over again. The pigs will lose their next game by thirty. So tired of this shit.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

This is when the lack of talent will bite us.

 

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

Contrary to the belief around here you don’t win 800+ games, six final fours and a national championship by being a bum of a coach.

 

[MbergCat]

If we lose this game I don't think I'll watch any more this year. And that hurts to say. It would just be too unacceptable.

 

[megablue]

This is the kind of game we need to win.
It will be like games in the NCAAT.

 

[Seth_C]

what did Trent Noah do to Pope? Chandler has given us nothing all season (sorry man). Noah was huge last game. Yet he is relegated to the pine? This is some Calipari level favoritism and I do not get it.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Brea played pathetic

 

[Chief Paducah]

We can score enough to come back for sure. Can we lock down on the defensive end?

 

[Digger-Cat]

This is a loss and I can't believe it.

Know how I know? Because we look like this in every other game and I have yet to see the narrative change. When we allow a team to do this, we lose every time

 

[Basscat1987]

Because pope told them to let them shoot 3’s and clearly hasn’t adjusted even after they keep making them. Pure stupidity.

He didn’t tell them to let Z and Nelly shoot them. Teams create open 3s, tonight Arkansas is just making them. It’s not nothing pope is doing. We are the exact same team we’ve been all year. Arkansas is not. It’s that simple

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

Taking advantage of Z in the post is good. Forcing it when it’s not there is not good.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

I'm glad our team doesn't quit as easily as a lot of the fans do

Bunch of crybabies for sure.

 

[UKSanders]

Why are we not just packing the lane like everybody did against us the last 15 years? There's no reason to guard DJ Wagner outside the paint.

That was probably the plan, but have you not noticed the 11/21 from 3pt range that Arkansas has shot... including a recent one from Wagner?

 

[ThunderMash]

Pope & co. should be ashamed to let this terrible Arkansas team lead. Pull it together, Kentucky. UK can still win this thing!

 

[Farsight]

Our defense is atrocious. We need to switch it up from man to man. Zone, 1-3-1, do something different please.

 

[catlogic15]

We’re too slow.

 

[Seth_C]

Contrary to the belief around here you don’t win 800+ games, six final fours and a national championship by being a bum of a coach.

And yet for the rest of the season he absolutely will be a bum of a coach. That you, Bradley?

 

[shaudyshaud]

Even if we win you can’t play like this in the ncaa when you run into a lower seed shooting lights out and your start to tighten up the later the game goes .

 

[ala_kat2]

Almonar needs more shots from 3 but ARK is making it hard to get open. Robinson’s and Brea’s last two 3 attempts were way too far out.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Here come the pessimists!

Oh, are you happy with what you are seeing? Cool.

 

[Seth_C]

I'm glad our team doesn't quit as easily as a lot of the fans do

I wish our team played as hard as a lot of our fans. Unlike…you.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

chance for a four point play

 

[TOMCATS1990]

EMBARRASSING!!!!

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

It helps when your team makes 11 threes in the first 25 minutes.

 

[fisherscatfan]

They are better athletes which is causing problems.

 

[The_Answer1313]

TUBBY

He’s a terrible bench coach. He’s the best recruiter of all time. He should have 5 or 6 national championships with the talent he acquired.

smh

Games not over. But I tried to tell people how much more this game means to Cal and players like Adou, Wagner and Z.

This game is no different to our guys than any other SEC game. And some tried to say "well they know UK fans care about this game".. lol.

And maybe that's a good thing. Cal was wrong.. this is still THEIR superbowl. To our team, this is another SEC game.

 

[NociHTTP]

Arkansas looks VERY relaxed right now. At the moment they're toying with us the way Memphis tends to do in short spurts. Some of it's athleticism, a big part of it is setting solid screens.
