**OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS MIZZOU GAME THREAD**

[SouthknoxTN07]

Defense struggling . You boys got work to do . Nonetheless, good luck rest of the game . East is best player on the court .

 

[CatOfDaVille]

That Edwards 3 is one of the worst shot attempts I have seen from a Kentucky player in a long time

Did you block Wheeler from your memory?

 

[RMorris33]

 

[UKSanders]

Reeves just standing there thinking about God knows what and allows a 3 pt play.

It's a whole team issue... he was covering the 3 pt shot on the wing. There is NO WAY that pass should have gone thru the lane like that... it's also on Onyenso

 

[megablue]

We scored 47, but gave up 42 !!!

 

[YardCat]

Just like I thought, Mizzu playing out of their minds.

 

[TheBlueMist]

We aren't good enough to take off nights during conference play. Way too many ill-advised shots and defensive commits on head fakes.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

UK is God awful at the end of halves, it is just amazing.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Did you block Wheeler from your memory?

Wheeler never missed that bad

 

[LmdCat]

Since our 7-footers don't play like 7-footers, we should bench them and play like we did when we didn't have playable 7-footers.

 

[permdaddy]

When our shots aren't falling DJ has to be in the game. He can get us buckets at the rim to stop the bleeding and change the momentum.

 

[ck-2]

I know it’s been beat to death, but what would it hurt to play zone a few possessions and see what happens?
It can’t be any worse.

 

[Easternkybb]

Now now now don’t be negative guys. Nothing to be concerned about we are just not real fans.

 

[dickieVIII]

Didn't play great and still winning. Our depth is a strength.

 

[ala_kat2]

I hate that trap call more than anything Cal does. It has NEVER worked!

Well, our Big has got to actually not go for the fake and block tge shot. But he can’t not go for the fake. What are they teaching in practice?

 

[jameslee32]

Getting beat in fast break points. Wow!
2nd game in-a-row where assist to turnover ratio isn't the best. (6/5)
We really miss Thiero's intensity.

 

[katwest]

Now Ugo is going for head fakes, a seven footer needs to stay on the floor. Him and Bradshaw need to understand that, their guards are scoring over our big men with ease.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

When we play bama in rupp that game might be 130-125, neither of the two play any defense

 

[Boyd94]

35 the first 10 minutes, 12 the second. Ugh!

 

[Jack2936]

Geez...Houston 21 pts at half. 31 Iowa st

 

[know1]

We looked great on offense again. But pretty bad playing defense, rebounding and shooting free throws. It's going to be a short season if we don't clean that up.

 

[YardCat]

Kentucky isn’t for everyone

Does he pull a Terrance Jones and come back for his Sophomore year?

 

[TheDude73]

We will hold Mizzou to 35 or less points in the second half and score 45+ ourselves.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I think I counted we missed our last 7 or 8 3's and all of them were wide open I mean WIDE FREAKING OPEN.

I can't even believe it. All WIDE WIDE OPEN.

We should be up 15

Mizzou is hitting their wide open 3s, Kentucky isn’t

 

[UKSanders]

I hate that trap call more than anything Cal does. It has NEVER worked!

It would have a better chance IF the ball handler can't see it coming from 20 ft away AND the rest of the team is in position to back it up.

It's like the only person on UK who knew it was coming was Tre (and maybe Reeves), but the team wasn't cutting off passing lanes.

 

[ala_kat2]

Since our 7-footers don't play like 7-footers, we should bench them and play like we did when didn't have playable 7-footers.

Would be easier if Thiero were available.

 

[ck-2]

That was stupid. What else can they come up with?

 

[LmdCat]

When our shots aren't falling DJ has to be in the game. He can get us buckets at the rim to stop the bleeding and change the momentum.

DJ is starting to really earn his playing time. He is playing under control and works hard to set his teammates up for easy baskets. I am beginning to really enjoy watching him play.

 

[Fox2monk]

That’s TWICE East has stepped out of bounds.

💯

We need to start playing better defense. We let too many guards especially carve us up over and over. Thankfully we can outscore just about anyone. I wanna see way better ball movement and sharing second half. Knock down open shots we missed late first half. Don’t fall for the shot fakes.

 

[know1]

I know it’s been beat to death, but what would it hurt to play zone a few possessions and see what happens?
It can’t be any worse.

It would hurt some draft stocks.

 

[FilsonCat]

With Bradshaw's wingspan, you'd think that he would have learned to keep those feet on the floor. As skilled as he can be on the offensive end, he's just as raw on defense.

 

[UKDC80]

Antonio Reeves. 0-3 from 3. We need him to get his shot dropping.

 

[GoNoles111]

With no Adou we could really use Justin to step it up, and he just isnt

 

[gharding07]

Embarrassing half of defense. Worst all season imo.

 

[jameslee32]

ESPN: Scheyer is a great coach. lol

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Drive the hell out of the ball in the 2nd half. DJ can get to the rim at will. Edwards has to give something when he's on the court. If not, roll with Reeves, DJ, Dilly, and Reed the entire half.

 

[ck-2]

Hope Adou gets better soon. He’s missed for sure.

 

[TheDude73]

Goodness ESPN on another Puke love fest.

 

[Lazlo7]

Wheeler never missed that bad

His pass deep into the crowd at the end of the St.peter's game was the worse basketball related play I have ever seen

 

[Fox2monk]

We will hold Mizzou to 35 or less points in the second half and score 45+ ourselves.

That’s what I’m thinking, I hope we address the pathetic defense on guards getting into the lane. Do that and hit open shots and we will do that.
