***** Official Game Thread Kentucky vs. Penn*****

[the nail at the foul line]

Penn playing 3 Blue bloods and Houston.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I just don't understand how other teams with for less talent are able to play so much better defense.

Coaching

 

[UKortho]

And back to shooting 18 footers

Low iq coach allows that. Hell, probably reinforces it.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

I just don't understand how other teams with for less talent are able to play so much better defense.

They have to use fundamentals like getting in a stance. Most 5-stars just rely on length and recovery abilities.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Lol of course

 

[bbncal02]

i HATE this offense.

 

[Cats192]

Really think Adou/Edwards don't need to play with Mitchell AND Bradshaw. Maybe in very short spurts for foul trouble/rest. But it doesn't need to be a regular lineup.

If you're going to put both bigs out there, go with 3 guards on the outside.

 

[UKortho]

Right on cue. Mitchell misses from 15. Please stop that.

 

[Pelosigalore]

This game is gonna be over at 1:30

 

[YardCat]

Cal wants us to average around 70pts a game

 

[jedwar]

Found his reason to turn a race horse into a plow horse. Went from beautiful flowing offense to taking long 2s.

 

[crawfords corner]

Of course its Reeves getting beat there

 

[Supafuzz75]

Yaaaa another D2 team almost 20 mins in and up 4 on..

 

[LmdCat]

Coaching

I used to think that was the case, but I am starting to think that some of these players coming in with lots of stars won't nothing to do with defense.

 

[jameslee32]

Thiero out of control.

 

[bbncal02]

Cal has broken this team already. Damn it.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Yes Kentucky please let the short white guy continue to beat you off the dribble every damn time and get layups

 

[MidseasonTweak]

We're getting cooked by Penn

 

[sam_o]

😴 right back to paint drying boring basketball

 

[crawfords corner]

Pressure Spinoso, but don't reach

 

[YardCat]

Penn runs some pretty good offense

 

[FirewithFire]

According to Givens on the radio call, that’s exactly what they worked on. I know that’s not what you want to hear but it is what it is.

Then someone might want to tell him to reconsider his teaching method because they didn't learn jack s**t. Every UK team he has coached gets killed by the back door pass. It was Oscars kryptonite.

 

[Pelosigalore]

These guys are definitely smarter than us

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Team is done. Boring basketball.

 

[Roe07]

This isn't the team we saw up through the Miami game.

 

[ukjenning44]

Cal wants us to average around 70pts a game

Looking like 60 today

 

[MbergCat]

Well, this sucks.

 

[jameslee32]

3 for Dilly!!!
Bradshaw putback. Penn has no answer. Too big.

 

[Kerry Kat]

Ridiculous how little white dudes always shoot lights out against Kentucky.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

How do we have more fouls when they are being this physical?

 

[catben]

That's what we need Adou, taking it into the heart of the Zone against 3 defenders and get it taken away from you.

WHY???!!!!!!

 

[EliteBlue]

On pace to shoot 15 or less 3s.

You don’t go from averaging 28 a game to 15 in back to back games without it being an intentional shift/focus in the offense with a significant uptick in Mitchell post ups and mid range Js

 

[pauled]

Penn is grabbing and hacking on every drive, yet we get called for every touch!

 

[CUJO_1970]

Cal will probably bench Dilly for hitting that three.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Mitchell seems to just be going thru the motions.

 

[LmdCat]

Giving up wide open 3s without a defender in the same zip code of the shooter.

 

[crawfords corner]

Dilly Dilly

 

[katwest]

Penn getting a lot of easy baskets.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Good shot Rob, then bad shot Rob

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

There you go Bradshaw!
