***** Official UK Vs. UNCW Game Thread *****

Cutout the stupid passes that have led to turnovers and defend the three and we win this game. Don’t need Edwards shooting corner threes 6 seconds into the shot clock.
 
More than one turn over when trying to force it inside to Bradshaw. Maybe we should hold off on that for now.
If we have a big man, Cal *will* force the offense to run through him, whether it helps us or not. It’s who he is.

Upset kind of day


3 Marquette
18 Villanova
7 Duke


Then you got 20 Colorado State and 11 Gonzaga with games that could be highly contested. You can't not bring your A-game anymore.
 
What's the point in having Bradshaw in as a "rim protector" when his man keeps taking him out of the paint?
Even when he's in the paint, he's not going for rebounds.

Dillingham 13mins 3reb
Bradshaw 9mins 1reb
 
B/c he was longer and athletic than most HS guys he was playing against? Lots of long athletic defenders in college, and he hasn't adjusted yet.
I am not concerned about his missed shots as much as I am about his decision making. He has simply played stupidly today.
 
Surprised Reeves is only 1 for 3.... seems like he's missed quite a bit more than that.

9 turnovers is the real story right now.

Gerogia Tech is a bad loss for Duke, but they will get credit for it being AT GT.

This would be up there with the Evansville loss if we can't wake up. That's not a story line I'd want to have. UK has one of it's best wins and worst losses in one week? Let's avoid that.

Yep. Offense is definitely different. I get that the turnovers have played a factor but definitely trying to feed the post a lot more and much worse spacing.

I know Tech has been awful for several years. What was their record coming into today? I hadn't saw them.
 
Have to wonder if we changed up practice to work on getting Bradshaw involved? We just look like a different team today. Nothing looks right out there.
 
UK fans will be comparing this team to some of our best ever after our next big win.

We're a bipolar fan base if there ever was one.
We're freaking selfish as well, myself included. I haven't been this excited about Kentucky basketball since the 2015 and the Miami game got our hopes up.

This team and the entire fanbase just got power bombed back to earth after that first half.
 
Don't disagree. He may just be a guy that doesn't show a ton of emotion, but he just doesn't seem to play with a lot of aggressiveness/energy on defense... just very sloppy.
He isn't even do the basic things today. If his shot isn't falling, he should work his butt off on getting the ball to our shooters, playing good defense, and rebounding.

Even worse than Evansville. The CAA is a bottom 1/3 conference.

We've been careless, but their defense has definitely been effective against our speed and ball-handling.
 
We won't win 32+ games this year because we lack a top 5 pick.

Cal's never won 32+ games in a season without a top 5 pick. The sample size is seven full seasons, dating all the way back to 1996.
It's like we played every fourth season :)

Don't want to hit the panic button yet.... just glad Shep got us down to 8 before the half.
