***** Official St. Joe's vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[crawfords corner]

To be fair to Edwards, that rim is a hell of a defender

Hard to get shots off against 10 footers

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I am pretty sure Edwards vert is about 6”. Either that or the rim is moving up when he tries to dunk? Which is it?

3 for Tre!!!
Tre block!
Cats by 3 ath.

lol you are celebrating this awful performance?

 

[jmmcgr02]

I’m tired of teams being on fire in rupp

?? They are shooting 35%

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Good finish. 3 and then defended. Gotta defend the perimeter better

 

[Kentucky2022]

Reed and dilly don’t need to come out

 

[FirewithFire]

I though Edwards might have backed out of the dunk contest during BBM because of injury fears. It appears that it might have been fear of embarrassment.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Play Reed the entire second half.

 

[Lionel_Hutz]

Inspired performance from the Cats

 

[bbncal02]

Mitchell 3 -> Mitchell block

Good way to end the last few seconds at least

Dear Huggins,

I'm sorry about your struggles lately. But thank you for Tre.

Love,
BBNCal

We're shooting a ridiculous percentage from 3 so far this year. We just need to get a 7 footer back to protect the paint

 

[crawfords corner]

UConn is up 13 on Texas with 5 to go in 1st half

 

[LmdCat]

Maybe Edwards should be examined to see if he needs glasses. We don't need to learn about another UK player discovering the need for glasses after going to the NBA, for crying out loud. When Edwards goes in for a dunk, he typically seeing 3 goals. It must be hell trying to determine which one to aim for.

Guard the 3 point line better, Kentucky literally concedes open 3s to teams and I never understand it

I think they’re trying to limit the blow-bys with no rim protector to help out. But seems like we’re always scrambling on D.

 

[mcwildcats04]

How the **** did St. Joe's lose to TAMC?

 

[HenryMuto]

Sheppard should play more

 

[dickieVIII]

I am happy with the effort of this team. You can see the pieces there and if we can keep improving, get and stay healthy, and get hot in march, we can make serious run.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I think they’re trying to limit the blow-bys with no rim protector to help out. But seems like we’re always scrambling on D.

They are also giving up wide open 3s

 

[gbl97]

We are ahead in every category (FG%, 3PFG, FT, Assists, Steals, Turnovers, fouls)...
But behind in rebounds 22-15.

 

[KyCatFan]

Damn Cal is fat, he can’t button that jacket, or risk a button coming off and putting someone’s eye out.

You can eat real good for $9 million. On that Antoine Walker diet.

 

[jameslee32]

Good day to block trolls!!

 

[mcnicKY91]

Difference is offensive rebounding...St Joe's has 9 compared to UKs 2.

 

[bbncal02]

Swear.....JVC is gonna drive what little sanity I have left off a cliff.

 

[ck-2]

Sheppard has saved us defensively several times coming from the weak side to strip the ball away down low on the entry pass.

 

[RMorris33]

Sheppard 0 shot attempts and 4 assists in the first half. Trying to get his teammates going 👍

 

[TheWyldKat]

I am pretty sure Edwards vert is about 6”. Either that or the rim is moving up when he tries to dunk? Which is it?

I mean, is he just playing scared? I don’t get it.

 

[ck-2]

The other guards need to look for him as much as he looks for them.

 

[KyCatFan]

There has to be some stats to back up our opponents shooting in Rupp. I'd love to compare opponents 3pt shooting in Rupp, Cameron and AFH.. and just see if it's similar.

They mentioned some kind of stat last game for our opponents hot shooting at Rupp. I don't recall what it was.

Whatever, Benny! 😋

Exactly right. A rim protector and this team has a legitimate chance to make a deep run.
Without a 7 footer. Sweet 16 is probably the ceiling. Because you know the committee will match them up against a team with size round 2 if the 7 footers are still not playing.

Its crazy how he never plays the best lineup. To me it shows that he knows what he is doing and intends to aggravate fans

The band formerly known as Oscar and the Bennies is now Reed and the Bennies.

Shep lets the game come to him. He is as happy setting up others for easy baskets as he is with making them. He understands that there are non-scoring ways to contribute.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

?? They are shooting 35%

The two teams before Thai game at rupp were terrible shooting teams and they hit double digit threes in the game

 

[acatnamedmyra]

How deep is St. Joe. Can we run them out of gas?

 

[gbl97]

If Cal wants to get Wagner and Edwards going, at least wait until Reed and Rob get us ahead 20 first.
