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

[*CatinIL*]

Wildcats working the offense...

 

[Jsngabbard]

Getting cooked by a D2 transfer

 

[Jamal Mercer]

It’s amazing how bad we shoot the three-pointer in our last game of the tournament every single season.

 

[CUJO_1970]

Reeves off the side of the backboard and Oakland splashes back to back threes.

Kentucky basketball does in the darkness.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Trey can’t be in this game

 

[BBUK]

Sure wish Barn Door walked Cal off at half time... I sure do...

 

[sefus12]

If you are the man, you make your shots like the player for Oakland is doing.

Well their man is getting screens set for him to get shots off. None of our men are. See the difference?

 

[J-Ryan]

Sad

 

[kywildcat41086]

Can’t get over the hump…

 

[crawfords corner]

Sheppard/Dillingham 1 for 4 from 3. Wide open looks. Reeves 2-4, 2 missed wide open 3s

 

[TankedCat]

Mitchell is too much of a ball hog now

 

[rick64]

My god, we couldn’t hit Oprah’s ass with a basketball right now

As my dad used to say we could hit a cow in the @$$ with a snow shovel.

 

[ThunderMash]

The Calipari special of not being able to hit threes and/or fts in March. You're telling me one of the best shooting teams in Kentucky history can't even hit average numbers? Shocker.

 

[ukfan041]

Welp…

 

[NociHTTP]

Keep shitting the bed from three.

We're literally just STANDING THERE while they run a zone, instead of driving to the basket.

 

[chevyman 50]

Ky needs to go inside more they cannot hit from outside.

 

[LmdCat]

Tre moves like snail with the ball.

We start the second half with Edwards jacking 3s Dilly do whatever. I can't believe that Edwards looked Reeves off on back to back plays when he was wide open.

 

[CROCAT]

Fire him on the court after the final buzzer 🖕

 

[Chief Paducah]

I’m just tired of mediocrity. I think that’s the best way I can put it at this point.

 

[CatPhight]

C. O. A. C H. I. N G

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We go from up 2 to down 4 in a blink of an eye.

Pathetic.

 

[BC_Wader]

The Jekyll and Hyde Cal team

 

[MidseasonTweak]

It’s amazing how bad we shoot the three-pointer in our last game of the tournament every single season.

Built for a first round exit.

 

[HenryMuto]

We are #1 3 point% in the nation and they have beat us by 24 pts from the 3.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

College basketball- just look at the 3 point shooting. You’ll know the result of the game.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Reeves hitting the side of the backboard is a bad sign

Fumbled the pass and never got set. Should have passed it back out

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

No one fears Kentucky anymore. They shouldn't act like it is some crowning achievement to beat Kentucky with that ass clown CCC on the sidelines. Sick of this shit.

 

[Pelosigalore]

These guys are not robots

 

[UKCat4Ever]

We've seen this movie before. Tie the game every once in a while, but the other team hits a three or something to keep it at arm's reach the whole game. Tired of this crap. Seems impossible to make it out of the damn first week now.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Why arnt we moving the ball?

Just passing it back and forth at top of key


I mean how much is it to ask for a good game to be excited about in the tournament

 

[rick64]

Oakland +24 points from 3. 😢

 

[kywildcat41086]

Can Mitch fire Cal in the handshake line?

 

[TankedCat]

Reeves hitting the side of the backboard is a bad sign

I knew he'd miss, bad pass didn't give him a chance to square up

 

[Kentucky2022]

Cal doesn’t have them prepared at all

 

[RMorris33]

Wish we could've/would've fired Cal after the 9-16 season. That's when I started to want him gone. Now we have to deal with first round L's to Saint Peter's and Oakland

 

[Pelosigalore]

We are a young team

 

[ThunderMash]

We're literally just STANDING THERE while they run a zone, instead of driving to the basket.

It takes a freaking moron to not understand what's wrong with this picture.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

wtf

 

[colonelcat78]

Do you think a guy running off a screen and shooting every time he touches it immediately is easy to defend? Give the guy some credit he hasn't been shooting open looks, these are ridiculous shots, and he hit a bank shot. He's actually missed the couple of open looks he's gotten. Aside from doubling him and daring a guy open in the paint to beat you what can you do?

Huh? Are you low IQ? Yes, he’s hitting amazing shots. I never said he wasn’t. My point is he’s well beyond his season averages. In other words…an anomaly or an outlier.

 

[L.O.D.]

Can we just get 1 post season win ? We had 1 the last 2 years. I am thinking we lose this game . Reed has gone into a shell
