And you have scored 10 pts in 12 minutes and you are down 8 pts to these clowns...guess that dosen't say much for UK... maybe the worst basketball game I have watched in forever ..

Slugger you may want to take the night off from the internet, your head might explode after this one.
 
This is just a poorly coached and assembled team right now. And no that doesn't mean fire the coach.

But I've seen this same song and dance against two horrid-mediocre teams this season and now a third.
 
No inside presence it really about it. Difficult to shoot from the outside when it is defended and there is no inside out. Plus, tempo all controlled by LSU.
 
I still think our shooters are too good to be missing as many as they do, and that they will heat up eventually.

Sure hope I didn't misjudge their overall ability.
 
this is rock bottom, a total embarrassment on every level

Simmons isn't even playing
 
I hate watching Ben Simmons play. To see that sort of talent wasted on a team going nowhere where we'd be a legit contender again with him.
 
Kentucky looks like a high school team tonight. Play like this in the 2nd half and we have another "L".
 
It's time to realize this is the worst team of the Cal era. The NIT team, with a healthy Noel, at least had heart. This team is Charmin soft, and honestly doesn't seem to care much outside of Ulis. The home crowd at Rupp keeps them engaged, but on the road this team looks like they would rather be anywhere other than on the court.

Poorly coached? If you were the coach, what would you be doing differently? Please be specific.

I hate to give up at half but I think the L is firmly in place already.

I don't see any answers for this team. It's just Skal is a bust, Proythress is what he is an athletic role player who is just as likely to look overwhelmed as he is to perform at a high level and our guards (with the exception of Tyler) are either wildly inconsistent or simply can't shoot and the book's out on them.

This season is going to be a chore to watch the rest of the way and I am not looking forward to the Kansas game at all.
 
This is the same exact effort we saw in the UCLA and Ohio State games. WTH happens to these guys when they get on the plane? Why do they lose their ability to play as soon as they leave Lexington? They looked like a reslly fluent and complete team Saturday night and now we see this. I'm so disappointed. We are better than this.
 
They look really bad tonight. No doubt about it.

I still have hope they can mature and turn into a legit threat by March, but they definitely have a long way to go.

A second half where they leave it all on the court would be a very nice start.

IDK, maybe something different. Whatever the staff is doing right now isn't working. We can't use "it's only December" anymore. This looks like the exact same fumbling team we saw against UCLA.

I don't think they are poorly coached. But for starters, Briscoe should never log a single minute other than at PG, and since he isn't displacing Ulis, he should be a back up. You can get away with a PG at the top of the offense that is nothing but a creator and driver. It absolutely KILLS any offensive flow to have a wing who the defense has ZERO fear that he can make a jump shot.

This team has MANY issues, but it starts with Briscoe on the wing. There are zero driving lanes for the so-called dribble drive, because teams don't even guard him.

What I would do is insignificant. I don't think it's fixable at this point anyway unless we can trick Jones into trading Simmons for Skal heads up at halftime.

Sometimes you just make mistakes and you can't correct them. It happens.

But who are the shooters? The only ones I would trust are Ulis and Murray. And even they are streaky. Those guys will have to carry UK this game and for the rest of the season, and right now they are a combined 4/14.
 
When you run a guard oriented offense, you better be able to make shots, especially when you drive to draw fouls. A Free Throw % below 60 at this level is beyond ridiculous.

We will not go very far if the shooting %'s don't improve dramatically.

Problem is the hole we will have dug will be too deep for this team to crawl out of. If this team gets an 8 seed I fear they won't have what it takes to do what 14 did. They are more like the 11 team but I don't remember 11 looking this bad on the road.

Very true, can't argue.
 
We have a team of mismatched parts. Players having to play out of position. Said it all year long. This group seems to have been cobbled together. Not sure what went wrong with talent evaluation but, something certainly did. Maybe we miss Coach O more than we thought we would. Hard to see any real development since game #1. We may even be worse.
 
We have no inside presence to speak of.....that's the problem and the only REAL problem.
 
What does that make us? No offense traffic cop defense can not blame refs. We are stinking it up. Will still watch the game and bleed blue. We can comeback
