***Kentucky vs Kansas Official Game Thread**

[bbncal02]

Whelp, live and die by the 3. Tonight we died.

Freshman folks.

 

[ala_kat2]

WTF Sheppard?

 

[drew_ukfan]

Zero Brains

 

[shaudyshaud]

Welp that should do it

 

[Bkocats]

Pitt fan rooting for Kentucky and I'm getting sick of watching a Calipari coached team blow leads. This is inexcusable, you guys should be up by 8, not down 3.

Welcome to our world

I’m not even mad

 

[GoNoles111]

What ever dude

 

[Kentucky2022]

Kansas got bailed out when we was up put them on the line to give them the lead

 

[CUJO_1970]

total freaking horse shyt

 

[MbergCat]

Reed with maybe the worst shot in history.

 

[BlueCephus]

Reed pulled a Quade Greene, lol.

 

[FilsonCat]

A timeout and THAT is the play they draw up?

 

[megablue]

We will LEARN from this game !!

 

[bbncal02]

Better not lose another game until January.

 

[blackcat714]

Shep messed up

 

[KYExtemper]

Good fight but it sucks to lose a game where we had a double digit lead and also a lead with 4 minutes to go but that's been Cal's Achilles heel for what seems like forever.

 

[NociHTTP]

This one is on Cal! Poor lineup choices by Cal!

He's never changed from being infatuated with 5* players and making sure they get theirs. We SHOULD have lost the game because of being obliterated inside, but we lost because Cal wouldn't take the ball out of DJ and Edwards' hands.

Poor decision making at the end there.

 

[syrus12]

Freshman folks.

this is no longer an excuse.

 

[DCFseattle]

Terrible shot by Sheppard

 

[RMorris33]

Well, we learned we can't play Reeves late in a close game. Shades of Kansas State last year

 

[bookerfan66]

Cal is the biggest choker in history.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Just another loss on the great Cal resume

 

[NavyCat88]

Looks a lot like the Kansas Vs Memphis NC in 2008. Can't hold a lead at the end of the game.

GBB!

 

[gharding07]

Every freshman has made multiple bonehead plays in this game..just can't have it if you want to beat #1..

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Kansas ain’t that good, but Kentucky should of won this game man, I’m tired
Of damn moral victories, Kentucky was better tonight, and because of 3 bad possessions on defense Kentucky lost

 

[Lazlo7]

This is why I am not Cal's biggest fan. We had this game but his coaching did not help us.
Good game and showed a lot of positives considering Kansas is #1 and their strength is Dickinson and all UKs bigs are on the bench. Impressive showing by a young squad but still really wanted a win and I think a good coach who knows his team would have got the win.

 

[sammysdad05]

Remember when we blew a 5 point swing at the end of the first half? Killed us

 

[KyCatFan]

All those shooters and that's what we do? Screw Cal and his garbage substitutions and terrible late game management.

 

[RunninRichie]

Sick and tired of Reeves getting the go ahead and just bricking. Dude isn't clutch. He's a volume shooter who will score 20 one night on 36 shots. Why people love this guy I dont know. Shep and Dillingham are both better players than him and he's been in CBB damn near 10 years.

 

[Farsight]

We lost this game because of the following.

1. Cal messing with momentum with the in game personnel/keeping players in that did nothing
2. Edwards a massive DUD
3. Wagner can't hit a basket.
4. Missing Bradshaw

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Jeez what happened?

 

[ukfan117]

So frustrating knowing we had this game won.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Trust in Cow

 

[HenryMuto]

James Madison was down 5 with 3.8 seconds left and came back to win vs Kent State this year because they threw a full court pass hit a 3 not dribbled it out.

Bad loss.

 

[bbncal02]

this is no longer an excuse.

Freshman mistakes are for sure. And we saw that with Reed.

 

[phyrekat]

Last 2 plays of the 1st half come into play. I am alright. This team is different, just wait until we get our 7-footers back. #9

Won't matter - Chokin' Cal will find a way. I have zero faith in him in late game situations

 

[ukjenning44]

I’m so tired of losing in the champions classic. We need revenge drop out of it

 

[Cowtown Cat]

****ing Cal, man!

 

[blackcat714]

Farrrrrrr Cal

 

[The_Answer1313]

At the end of the day basically what the line suggested lol

 

[Seth_C]

He leads us in scoring. We have 0 inside presence. Misses happen.

Of course he leads us in scoring. He has as many shots as he does points. He’s taken 32% of our shots.
