***Kentucky vs Kansas Official Game Thread**

I know his shot looks bad- and it’s not going in but I’ll still ask- is there any hope that he has some form?

Doesn't look like it. I wonder if he wanted to go to Louisville to stay out of the spotlight, avoid getting exposed, but knew they were going to be awful. He needs to sit, and watch how the ball moves around.

I often disagree with Cal’s coaching, but I actually thought it was the right decision.

Dilly had picked up a second foul, and the team was still up big. As well as he’s playing, he was more important to save for the second half.

I am talking about his removal of Delly at the end of the game.

We scored 48 points in that half and Reeves was 1 for 8 from the field overall and 1 for 6 from 3. We're going to need him in the 2nd half.

Reeves par for the course in a lot of big games.

 

[crawfords corner]

Draymond Green a crazy mo-fo 🤣

 

[KentuckyDad]

So far looks a lot like EJ Montgomery 2.0

Streets are saying Khalil Whitney 2.0 😩

But Wagner is our best defender and best traditional point. Wagner just needs to focus on driving more, which he is very good at and lay off the threes. All three are good; it's a good problem to have and all will see plenty of minutes.

No he’s not.

Second half adjustments: There is no question Self comes out pounding it inside and on defense goes zones us to slow movement. What does Cal do?

 

[SpamburgerHamburger]

Whatever happens in the second half, the potential of this team is undeniable.

He picked up the 2nd after his first benching. You don't bench the hot player to avoid the 2nd foul - you bench them WHEN they get the 2nd foul.

 

[jameslee32]

Pretty sure Edwards had 2 blocks but only got credit for 1. Too wide eyed to start. Hopefully settled down some.

 

[bbncal02]

Alright guys. 20 more minutes. How we feeling?

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

DJ is just trying too hard. He isn’t relaxed. He wants to be the guy. He will come around.

 

[RunninRichie]

Reeves par for the course in a lot of big games.

Some of us called that out on here and got called idiots. He's a bench player at best. And a streaky shooter.

Idiotic statement

Too bad KAT is so soft or he would have snatched Draymond up.

Zone? That'd be idiotic. Zone stops the drives, not the threes. We are up because of 9 three pointers.

This game has shown which players have ice water in their veins and fight in them.

I am talking about his removal of Delly at the end of the game.

See I don't think he pulled him because of the turnover. I think he pulled him because he didn't want him to get his 3rd foul on defense.

I think the plan was to always have him out there for the offensive possession then sub him out.

 

[Wildcat_In_Florida]

We can’t come out flat to start the 2nd half. Kansas will make adjustments.

 

[bbncal02]

We need to keep feeding the hot hand. This isn't about getting Wagner going. This team needs to take what the game is giving them and not worry about individual players. If we are worried about individual players, we should be focusing on Reeves before Wagner.

I'm talking at some point. But not now for sure.

 

[zannmann]

Dilly better start 2nd half.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Considering Reeves, Wagner, & Edwards went 1-18, we have to be happy up 7 at the half.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Come on cats let’s start this half off good

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Idiotic statement

True statement. I didn't say all, I Said a lot of the..

 

[phyrekat]

That end of the half can’t be understated. Needed to be up 10+ to weather their storm of scoring coming and our inevitable dropping back down to earth shooting.

Wagner playing hero ball - needs to play with the flow

 

[gharding07]

I predicted we make 10 threes we win the game. Need 1 more.

 

[ck-2]

Let’s go!!!

Dilly better start 2nd half.

He won’t.

 

[crawfords corner]

Bench scoring

UK- 22
KU- 0

We may need more than that lol

 

[BlueCephus]

He told cal to STFU

Rob got his 2nd foul and had to sit. The blind Calipari hate is tiring. Bunch of jilted little girls.

 

[Kentucky2022]

Of course reed and dillingham start on the bench come on cal

 

[MbergCat]

Lol, no Reed or Rob.

 

[jameslee32]

There ya go DJ. Score from the line baby!!

 

[KampusKat]

YOU START DJ AND EDWARDS FOR 2ND?!?!?

 

[Cats192]

The game is working the way we need it to.

Dickinson is going to need 35-40 to win if we continue to limit their 3’s and make ours.

We’re winning rebounds and turnovers at the half.

 

[bbncal02]

That's what we need DJ.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Draw fouls Wagner, that's a good thing

 

[ukfan1622]

No he’s not.

Well, you got me. I guess I lost that argument. BTY I love your icon of my favorite actor and one of my favorite movies of his.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Adou walks everytime he puts the ball on the floor, he is playing great tonight but he is getting away with some walks

 

[megablue]

Whatever happens in the second half, the potential of this team is undeniable.

We probably could learn more from a loss, actually, but I sure as hell hope we win !!!!!
