Calipari and Kentucky are going to ruin one of the best weekends of the year yet again because he coaches like a chicken shit and our defense is fricking pathetic

Don’t let it. The coach isn’t worth it.

 

[Kentucky2022]

What a shit show so far is this cals last half?

 

[wccat2969]

Any coach knows how to play defense on the Cats. Stop the threes from Reeves, Reed and Dillingham, let Wagner shoot it all day long, and don't worry about the low-post players.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

We still win this shit show.

Maybe. But play like they and they lose by double digits next game anyway.

 

[RunninRichie]

Cal letting “good friend” Greg Kampe get him some. So pitiful. I bet Kampe doesn’t even like Calipari.

 

[Pelosigalore]

Why can’t we just have a well played, enjoyable game against an inferior opponent?

 

[Farsight]

If we lose tonight, I hope the Media claps CCC"s ass and call for a change.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Two starters 0-6 from the field.

 

[KYExtemper]

If Reed Sheppard goes to the NBA next year, they will eat him alive. Of all players crap his pants on the biggest stage, I would never have thought it would have been Reed and DJ. They are both from a family of ballers.

For everyone that says Reed is a lottery pick, I've yet to hear who in the league he's supposed to be able to guard because I'm not seeing it. If a GM takes him high, he's getting fired.

 

[JFCats22]

He will. 100 bucks says his mom and dad are in that locker room right now setting him straight.

Zero chance this is happening. Hilariously dumb. You seriously think a player’s parents are coming into the locker room of an NCAAT game???

3PT
OU 9/20
UK 3/11

Difference in the game that Stevie Wonder could see.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Kentucky is going to win this game. They made circus shots all half and we are down by 3. Plus, they have 3 players in foul trouble with a thin bench.

That said, we should never be in this situation against a 14 seed. Cal has made us the butt of jokes and the easy giant to topple for unknown players and teams. This circus has to end … soon.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

The zone has neutralized Reed. Gotta find a way for him to give us something in the second half.

One of the worst halves I’ve ever watched. Should be down 15-20

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

You could tell at the media day on Sunday that Calipari was going to coach this tournament scared.

He has no balls. He coached scared in 2008, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2022, and last year.

He's coaching scared again tonight. He's lost his mojo.

Win or lose tonight, he's finished in Lexington.

 

[etowncatfan]

My worry is that the refs try to even up the fouls in the second half

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

If we see the same starters I will burn my signed Cal books off the shelf.

 

[jeffky]

 

[Dreklie]

I just can't stomach Cal coaching my alma mater anymore. Please fire this dude, please.

 

[wccat2969]

I just can't believe that he thought starting Tre was a great idea.

Yes. The player who hasn't done anything since coming back.

 

[Pelosigalore]

Cal letting “good friend” Greg Kampe get him some. So pitiful. I bet Kampe doesn’t even like Calipari.

I was immediately worried when cal said that Greg was a “good friend “

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Thank God for beer.

CBD oil for me tonight.

 

[LmdCat]

We lost last year because of one player and it appears it is about to happen again.

 

[FilsonCat]

This is about as lame of a performance as you could figure for a Cal coached team in the first round. Gotta figure that Oakland lives at the line in the second half and blows UK out. That's about what Cal deserves.

 

[Bigblueamdyou]

Reed and Rob have 4 shots combined.

Mitchell has 5.

DJ has 4.

thats why we can’t win if that don’t change

 

[NociHTTP]

Unforgivable IF we lose this game.

But dumbass Mitch will protect Cal's job. It's going to take the effort from elsewhere to force Mitch's hand. We have too many DGAF fans who continue buying tickets anyway. Going to Rupp is a social event for those tired of playing Euchre in their basement.

 

[cats2010]

Reed, you better start playing some ball. Stop being a bystander. Time to sack up, kid.

Don’t think he has been this disengaged all year. You didn’t even know he was on the floor except for the air mail pass at the end.

 

[gharding07]

I said a while ago I bet we lose the first SEC tournament game and first NCAA tournament game lol. Almost there.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

I've been saying it and saying it Z needs to be out there. He was playing really well on both ends and Cow pulls him for Bradshaw. Bradshaw, Ugo and Michael suck. Play Z til the dam wheels fall off.

 

[KYExtemper]

This is the halftime speech we need:

 

[OleBum]

CBD oil for me tonight.

420 far far superior.

 

[LXWildcat]

Everyone start lighting the torches and get your pitchforks out of the shed, we may need them

 

[cmallory]

Can't be right. I've saw multiple people calling for him to sit the rest of the game.

I don’t think we have 10 rebounds as a team

 

[Mash 2.4]

Nothing much to say. Our coach doesn’t prioritize winning basketball games. It eventually trickles down to the players. I don’t see how this program survives more years with Cal. We are going to become Indiana.

Oh I forgot about 'Miss a layup' Edwards.

Kentucky is going to win this game. They made circus shots all half and were down by 3. Plus, they have 3 players in foul trouble with a thin bench.

That said, we should never be in this situation against a 14 seed. Cal has made us the butt of jokes and the easy giant to topple for unknown players and teams. This circus has to end … soon.

There's a reason CBS wanted us to be the main event today. After St. Peter's, everyone smells blood in the water with Kentucky, and rightfully so. Our coach is a pile of stinking manure.

 

[permdaddy]

3-10 from the free throw line, but their coach says we're getting all of our points there.

We're 10-14 from the line

 

[RunninRichie]

I was immediately worried when cal said that Greg was a “good friend “

Same here. Calipari coaches scared or weird against “good friends”.

 

[Farsight]

He IS A freeMASON... omg

Who Cal?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I’m just so tired man, this shit is exhausting. He has ruined the program and made us a damn laughing stock. A mid major program talked non stop shit for a week leading up to the game and Kentucky is playing fricking scared of them
