**OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS OAKLAND RD. 1 GAME THREAD**

[Warf2012]

He not only doesn’t deserve to start, he doesn’t deserve more than a few minutes per game.

But because Cal is the Wagner family bitch he’s allowed DJ to screw the season up all year. It was clear from the summer he was the fourth best guard. But our dipshit coach won’t bring him off the bench because his ultimate goal is getting DJ drafted as high as possible. Season results be damned.

 

[true blue1]

Calipari can no longer win with freshman in the modern age of instant transfer roster building.

The OAD is officially dead. It will only get worse next season when we have a 17 year old as our primary interior option.

??? He’s never been able to win with anyone Period!!! I hope he proves me wrong this year!!!

 

[bbncal02]

Oakland radio announcer said he heard him call it when he shot it!

Good and cocky. I hate that shit.

 

[sefus12]

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

Look, we all know you love/worship Cal. Why can’t the man have 75% of the game plan Oakland’s coach had to neutralize Reed/Rob and torch our D? You can keep blaming the players but it‘s the head coach who is responsible for getting them ready.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Our coach is a pile of stinking manure.

You are giving manure a bad name.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

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

And when Oakland runs into a defensive team, he'll he held to 12 points

 

[CatPhight]

Wagner, Edwards and Ugo team up for a goose egg...

 

[wccat2969]

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

Oh you are giving Cal too much credit. LOL!

 

[ck-2]

We better hope they foul out.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

And get Cal hasn’t made any adjustments or game plan to contain him.

Perhaps he’s focused on ending gEnerAtioNaL pOverTy in the 2025 class?

@FrankUnderwood2.0 is back? Can this be true? Welcome back, brother.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Letting one player that's a one trick pony beat us is pathetic.

 

[Jamal Sunburn]

I really can't stand Tre Mitchell. Almost more than any player on the last 4 teams. He's slow. Can never finish. Can't shoot. Gets scored on by everybody.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Gotta be more Woody's in Louisville Metro right now than the rest of the country combined.

 

[CincinnatiWildcat]

Mitchell was good, sorta.

We gave up a million offensive rebounds in the first few minutes that and he was horrible in the middle of the zone. A few o boards doesn’t make up for that

 

[BBUK]

Sheppard get your damn head out of your ass.

Leave Shep alone geez... He was trying to lob bowling balls just yesterday...

 

[RunninRichie]

@FrankUnderwood2.0 is back? Can this be true? Welcome back, brother.

I’ve missed Frank.

 

[crawfords corner]

Nobody is making Gohlke have to defend. He mostly just camps out opposite the side the ball is on.

 

[bbncal02]

You are giving manure a bad name.

About to say manure serves a purpose.

 

[catben]

WTF is wrong with Shep?

He WON’T shoot for some reason!! Cal with his “it all comes down to March” CRAP has these young guys SCARED TO DEATH!!!

Justin, DJ and Reed are ALL INTIMIDATED by the moment. Yet a little white dude with no other skil than shooting the 3 is beating a team full of future NBA players!!

$8+ million/year for the this BS AGAIN!! 4 years of this is more than enough!! Please Cal LEAVE TONIGHT!! The HEAT is going to get HOTTER than you have EVER experienced in your lifetime!!!

 

[crashtestdummy]

Anybody defending Cal at this point is either ignorant or in love......

 

[UKNothinButNet]

“We’re just young”.

 

[UKCat4Ever]

Playing through Tre Mitchell in the beginning was a very, very stupid coaching decision. What kind of a moron looks at what Mitchell has done over the last few games, which is nothing, and thinks, "Yep, let's put this extremely important game on him"? And he puts together a starting line up with ONE shooter in it. Good Lord.

Crapipari is ADAMANT that he's smarter than everyone else. He thinks running the offense through Mitchell is the best idea. Laughable.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

The good news for Cal is that if he loses tonight, he can take a longer time to travel around his hometown and see the old sights and remember where his overrated career both began and ended.

 

[KENTUCKY_FLYER]

how can they get this one guy open for the three and we cant get any of our three ball shooters open?

 

[Wildcat Sheli]

Why does Cal have such a difficult time coaching against his good friends?

 

[Girthang]

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

Only two guys in KY with the balls to do that and no one listens to them.

If you were watching the media members (most of whom dislike Cal) picking us to win it all or be a FF team, and not thinking it was a setup for this, I don't know what to tell you. This is why I've stayed off of the topic for the most part.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

The irony is that Cal's career might end tonight where it also began.

 

[RunninRichie]

But because Cal is the Wagner family bitch he’s allowed DJ to screw the season up all year. It was clear from the summer he was the fourth best guard. But our dipshit coach won’t bring him off the bench because his ultimate goal is getting DJ drafted as high as possible. Season results be damned.

This right here.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Cal, you f**king idiot. Do not even think of trotting that starting lineup out there. To start the second half.

I don't want to see Ugo or Bradshaw back out there. Mitchell and DJ are killing us.

Somehow Shepherd looks scared to death. I don't know how but I blame that on Cow. I don't know what he did. He doesn't run anything for him.

 

[michaeluk26]

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

You did, and you're gonna be proven right.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

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

23

 

[ArcticChar]

You know what I’d do if I were cal?
Ask whoever wanted their nuts to drop to go out there and absolutely assault the kid hitting threes.
Make his life hell. He goes for a ball? You stick an elbow in his throat

maybe like a tonya harding type player?

 

[BBUK]

Anybody defending Cal at this point is either ignorant or in love......

Or just....plain...troublemakers...

 

[ThunderMash]

Crapipari is ADAMANT that he's smarter than everyone else. He thinks running the offense through Mitchell is the best idea. Laughable.

I can't wait for Cal to run the offense through Ugo in the second half.

 

[FrankUnderwood2.0]

@FrankUnderwood2.0 is back? Can this be true? Welcome back, brother.

Thank you sir.

 

[Girthang]

Who Cal?

BRICK - MASON (freemason)

Nm

 

[TheBlueMist]

What if we lose and Cal comes back next season?

Then Rupp may look as empty as this gym in Pittsburg.

 

[OleBum]

what really sucks is just the fact that the game is just so boring. one of the most boring games i've seen all season Kentucky play. just look uninspired and zero life.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Dude is averaging 12 pts a game and is going to put up 40

Ever think the dipstick coaching against him might switch or hedge all the off ball screens they’re setting? Nah, just keep doing what we’re doing and let him torch our ass.

 

[kingdom come cat]

If we lose this game Cals got to go. Who could possibly have any confidence in him as a coach if we lose this game. And by the way Cal says zones don't work.
