Kentucky vs Arkansas Game Thread

[USARMYWILDCAT]

Zone????? It’s Cal’s kryptonite, I just don’t understand why we’re not using it.

 

[FirewithFire]

Thiero went right over Williams's back with no call. Can't just ignore how those offensive rebounds affect the game.

 

[UKSanders]

Davis threw a damn elbow/punch on that drive and not a thing was called.

Yep, I saw that, too. Chandler's defense is definitely frustrating him

 

[2Dope15]

Why don't Pope try alittle zone. Cal is going to have them just keep driving. That's his offense.

 

[Farsight]

One of Oweh's worst games. He's playing too much 1v1 basketball.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Alamnor needs to play over Carr

Especially since we all know Carr isn’t at 100%.

 

[JPFisher]

I'm convinced Chandler is the only guard on the floor for us who gives af about defense and can actually hang with his man. Everyone else looks like they're taking 3-5 business days to process defensive assignments.

 

[HenryMuto]

Had to have that rebound

Thiero 8/8 from the line

We have 5 missed FTs

 

[fisherscatfan]

Beating Duke, Gonzaga and UT loses some of the overall impact when give away games you shouldn’t.

This game is still very winnable but Pope is gonna have to make adjustments

 

[sefus12]

We mainly lose because oweh does not appear

Oweh has had a really bad second half. No doubt about that.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Adou going back to the line where he's currently 8/8 on the night.

Please jinx him!

 

[ManitouDan]

I legitimately hope he dies while eating that dick. I normally wouldn’t say that but he is just such a massive piece of shit the last two games. I hope he gets mouth ****ed to death.

I told you all he was a total douche and worthy of writing off , dude sucks ass . And some said “ oh he’s fine “

 

[BigBlue1992]

I hate to reveal the winning ingredients against my own team but I have no idea why every team hasn’t played us this way. We can’t stay in front of athletic guards.. or even forwards for that matter.

 

[Bkocats]

Not sure why anyone is surprised
Calipari does this at least once per year
I’m sick that it’s us.
Had a bad feeling this would happen

Y’all have a good night. Gonna watch but…

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

We are bottom of SEC in both football and basketball. If you can't win in your own gym to a team that is 1 and 6 in the league your done. Kids just don't have the pride for the jersey like the older guys use to. Like Butler sitting out instead of gutting it out. Don't jump up and say I'm ready when we go to Ole Miss. Go lick your injuries until you feel better since we can lose games because it's no big deal to lose. How's the biggest game to fans this season and a guy gives a can't play. Soft kids equal soft seasons

 

[Seth_C]

I am! When the season started he KNEW this game was circled. He knew it, and so far he has responded by coaching one of his worst games of the season. That’s not a good look.

I’m not saying he’s getting fired tonight, obviously, but his leash is going to be WAY shorter with the fans and ultimately, if he loses the fans he will lose his job.

 

[truckbrandon]

Zero pressure. They suck and are supposed to lose. Playing loose.

UK playing like it did against OSU, vandy, etc

Just can’t stop ANYONE

Kentucky is playing way better tonight than they did in those games. Arkansas is just playing out of their minds.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

With a loss here I’m back to struggling to see Kentucky get to 20 wins

 

[BlueSince92]

Zone????? It’s Cal’s kryptonite, I just don’t understand why we’re not using it.

Probably because they've all magically become unconscious from three but I'd still like to see us try it.

 

[catfan220]

Another chance to get back into the game, 3 guys sit there with there hand shoved up their ass, while adou goes and gets the damn ball. Please take carr out, he is useless right now, uesless

Would rather Noah got a couple minutes

 

[pauled]

Thiero is due to miss a free throw or two

He has missed them all in his past few games, made them all tonight!

 

[Mash 2.4]

Adou going back to the line where he's currently 8/8 on the night.

He was about 70% here wasn’t he?

 

[Eccain01]

Gotta get that rebound but the last 2 possessions have been better defensively. Chandler has helped a ton on that end

 

[Digger-Cat]

BS. Prove it. There was an entire thread with you arguing with a guy that didn't share your pregame loser mentality.

I read your posts, dude. You're weak and give up. You're not alone around here though.

Wondering why you're still here if this game is over in your mind.

Glad we have fans that are okay with losing games like this. This fanbase is getting worse by the year. All the sudden losing is fine. you don't lose this game.

Arkansas cant score 70 points against oklahoma, but they're going to get 90 on us. Do you understand what that means?

Gawd I hate these soft ass fans that are cool with losing.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Remember early in the year when Pope would throw out different defenses. Hasn’t done that in ages

 

[permdaddy]

The fact that Pope refused to try zone to stop the penetration is mind boggling

Pope has shown to be every bit as stubborn as Cal when it comes to playing anything but man.

 

[sefus12]

I know Carr is still getting back but he needs to bring more to the table. Its like once a team just keeps fighting back at some point our guys just fade away. Where is Brea?

Brea? Watching every player on Arkansas drive by him on the defensive side while doing nothing on the offensive side.

 

[UKSanders]

How the absolute **** has that happened two games in a row? You can’t ****ing tap the ball to the court while holding it with BOTH hands and pick up your dribble! You can’t. It can’t happen.

Davis can do that on the catch... however, once he started dribbling again, I thought that should've been a double dribble.

 

[Warf2012]

This completely erases the Tennessee win. And more...

Pope has done that shit all year. Win a big game and then shit down both legs a game or two later to a bad team.

 

[Edgarman]

Zero pressure. They suck and are supposed to lose. Playing loose.

UK playing like it did against OSU, vandy, etc

Just can’t stop ANYONE

Our defense shows very little more pressure that a team has in a shoot around. We don't play defense. If this is Pope's defense strategy going forward, he will not be here very long. You can't consistently win when defense is not a priority. Just a fact.

 

[catlogic15]

Popes lineups have been mind boggling. Killed us.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I want to play xylophone on Dyke's teeth with a two pound hammer

 

[ala_kat2]

Pope better have a good explanation why he hasn’t played any zone defense. We cannot guard ARK’s drivers (Wagner, Thiero)

 

[NociHTTP]

We need to learn some defense. This defense is embarrassing. You can't keep calling it a "work in progress" in February.

I'm concerned that Pope doesn't embrace that part, that he thinks fans just want an exciting offense.

 

[rick64]

Throw it down young man!!!

 

[FirewithFire]

Garrison just got clubbed in the face with no call. Damn.

 

[Farsight]

NOW WAKE TH EFF UP BRANDON

 

[mrjuk]

LET’S GOOOO !!!

 

[runt#69]

I get in late on the game and this is what has happened?

Hogs playing out of their minds and Cal coming thru with his singular coaching gem of the season ?

LOL

Well, let them have thier superbowl. They still wont sniff the NCAA tournament.
Hope they enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

That’s ballgame
