**OFFICIAL FLORIDA VS KENTUCKY GAME THREAD••

[the nail at the foul line]

Why wasn't Reed shooting earlier?

 

[crawfords corner]

At least he used this time out. Effing mush for brains.

 

[HenryMuto]

Damn if Reeves had hit that 3............

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Game was over in regulation if 2 consecutive easy walk calls were made on FL.

 

[HoneyMoon155]

This one is on Cal. If Reed receives the ball instead of throwing it in he hits both of those free throws.

Or if reed played any defense whatsoever

 

[dckala2]

5-3 in January. Not sure what these lineups are but need a healthy Wagner and just hope to make the second weekend.

 

[ala_kat2]

0-2 with Reed playing point. Put that shit to bed.

That ain’t the problem

 

[bbncal02]

Yay. Now we all get to go to bed cranky for work tomorrow.

 

[gharding07]

That ain’t the problem

Still a fact, and his shit defense is.

 

[TriCountyCat]

The sad part is at the end of regulation we only had 6 fouls, we could have fouled anybody for a 1 and 1

 

[bbncal02]

No, it’s 100% on Reed. Nobody will say it because he is the Kentucky wonder boy but his defense and the end of the game nonsense cost us this game

Yeah get out of here. Reed wasn’t perfect but Cal is responsible for this train wreck.

 

[katwest]

Ugo should have knocked Kugal teeth out with and elbow, but he was to weak with the ball.

 

[LmdCat]

He's got no interest in playing defense, other than slapping at the ball in the lane. He doesn't like the physicality.

All he had to do was meet the guy who was the most likely choice to take 3 point shot and he did nothing.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Play Adou in the last 4 minutes (and more in general) and we win in regulation.

Tre Mitchell shitting his pants has more to do with this than Wagner or Edwards not playing.

I mean isn’t Adou hurt ?

 

[bbncal02]

Do we ever play a good OT? I dread it because every single time we score like 2 points.

If it weren’t for Tre hitting threes at the end of St Joes we’d be 0-3 in OTs. Shameful.

[FirewithFire]

Yay. Now we all get to go to bed cranky for work tomorrow.

Now you understand why I said I hate these late games. It's a double whammy.

 

[HoneyMoon155]

@Sejonesy , time to blame the players. Get the cultists ready to defend Papa Cal.

Dude reed absolutely sucked on defense quit taking up for him, he costed the game being lazy on that last play

 

[TankedCat]

Cal will blame the players for not fouling at the end of regulation

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Worst loss of the season IMO

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Never get calls at home.

Rarely ever get the other team into impacting fouled trouble.

You shouldn't have to be perfect to win games.

 

[bbncal02]

Now you understand why I said I hate these late games. It's a double whammy.

Yep. I hate them too.

 

[Lazlo7]

To those I offended. I am so sorry for my negative post(s) in this thread. It is from years of Cal sucking the joy out of Big Blue Basketball.

 

[Fox2monk]

Just sickening, led all damn game and let it slip away like that. Refs sucks but damn we can’t guard a fence pole.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Well my 15 and three in the SEC needs a 10 game winning streak.

 

[JFCats22]

0-2 at home without DJ but many here say he sucks and Reed should play over him

 

[bbncal02]

Everyone call the post game show and refuse to talk about nothing else but getting cal-amity out of Lexington.

 

[$Z71$]

You know what cures that? WINNING GAMES
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO WIN AT RUPP.

I totally get that. But saying all game it feels like a loss when we are leading is dumb. That's simple negativity point blank and simple. Way too much of that going on constantly here. This used to be a good message board but man how do people live in the glass always half empty mindset 24/7.

 

[UKNothinButNet]

Yeah get out of here. Reed wasn’t perfect but Cal is responsible for this train wreck.

Reed isn’t a veteran professional making 9M a year either!

 

[bbncal02]

0-2 at home without DJ but many here say he sucks and Reed should play over him

Excuse excuses excuse excuse How may draft picks did UF have tonight?

 

[HoneyMoon155]

Yeah get out of here. Reed wasn’t perfect but Cal is responsible for this train wreck.

Maybe you should get out of here, if your boy reed played any defense on that last possession we win. So sick of him getting a pass while everyone else gets crapped on.

 

[NociHTTP]

All this team needs is a little TLC.





Ten Loss Cal

 

[FirewithFire]

Lots of correct takes here. The team played 5 on 8 again, and Reed sucked ass on defense. Sorry to his fan bois but it's true. His man had seven threes and basically won the game for Florida. It is a recurrent problem with him.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Zero reason not to foul in regulation. Blame Reed, blame Trey, Rob at the end of the 1st half or whoever else you want. Coaching ineptitude is what kept Reed on a guy killing it after playing 40 mins, not fouling at the end of regulation, running plays for Ugo in OT, and the list goes on. Same ol song and dance.

 

[bbncal02]

Again. You know what cures that? Something we have done well in the last 4 years. Win important games.

Fans have right to be PISSED. Again. THIS IS KENTUCKY.

 

[stread23]

Cal revived a dying brand. Shut up with this BS. Take out the 50s before integrated basketball was played and UK is just another team with 3 titles.

 

[truckbrandon]

Everybody here LOVES Reed Sheppard! Buuut, you can't ignore his ball watching. He should've been on Clayton like velcro

 

[bbncal02]

Maybe you should get out of here, if your boy reed played any defense on that last possession we win. So sick of him getting a pass while everyone else gets crapped on.

Bite me. I’m a KENTUCKY fan. Make me leave.

I’m an equal opportunity critic. I’ve take shots at Reed if you’d care to actually read posts.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Dude reed absolutely sucked on defense quit taking up for him, he costed the game being lazy on that last play

I can’t explain this anymore simply. His coach should have been telling them to foul. UF would have just been shooting the bonus. Hell they may have missed the front end. It’s coaching malpractice. But sure, blame the kid who played 45 minutes and had 24-8-6.

 

[megablue]

So if Rob had made the free throw we would have lost the game because of defense

Scored 91 and lost.
We simply cannot play defense.
If you cannot get stops, you HAVE to make FTs and lay-ups.
