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

[FanofUK]

Way to ruin my Saturday cats.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Now we can't get the rebound. I see no path to a win down 5 with 54 left and they have the ball.

What a sick sick loss after such a big win over Miami this undoes all the good from that win.

Just a terrible loss.

This.

And most of us don't have 14 other teams to find some silver lining and a win to pick them up.

 

[LmdCat]

Reed needed to play selfishly for Kentucky to win. Team ball is option 1 until you realize that you are the only one who can really get the victory. Hopefully he will learn from this.

 

[azubuikefan]

I hate playing teams like this. Slow down pound it out throw up prayers. Prayers answered today

75 points isn't slow down pound it out. They played aggressive all game and it is looking like they're going to beat us.

 

[pauled]

We won’t have to worry about being in the top ten! Probably be 20

 

[Kentucky2022]

Played uninterested all game

 

[drew_ukfan]

Trust in Cal

This is the type of game that keeps you from locking in a #1 seed.

Another late November/early December bum loss by a Calipari-coached team.

 

[bbncal02]

we got our 7 footer back and we've looked like the teams from the last 3 years.

Yeah, that's got little to nothing to do with our absolute shit defense.

 

[catben]

WOW!!!!

This team is back to SQUARE ONE!!!

NO defense and NO reliable scorer outside of Reed.

SAD

 

[IH8BlueDevilsandUNcheat]

Never get another one seed under cal

never see another final four, under Cal

 

[FanofUK]

This is exactly the type of team that will put us out in March. And that stupid trap DEFENSE never works Cal. STOP doing it!

 

[MachineHead1]

That’s it. I’m tired of letting myself get my hopes up only to get pissed off immediately after. Life is too short to get aggravated at something I can’t control. Good luck fellas. I’m gonna check out and just play video games or something.

 

[TankedCat]

Cal didn’t cause Dilly, reeves, and everybody else to sleepwalk half the game

yea, he did, by starting a team that wasn't experienced in December

 

[crashtestdummy]

0-1 on the new court

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

John Calipari is who we thought he was. Gold in, garbage out.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Cal teams… they always give you hope only to then snatch it away.

 

[bbncal02]

Welcome back trolls

It's a bad loss dude. We deserve every bit of crap we catch for this one.

 

[jameslee32]

We cannot guard them off the bounce today, plus they are HOT !!

They're shooting 40% this half.
27% from the 3
57% from the line.

 

[FilsonCat]

I think I am done folks. Checking out.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

The missed rebounds by Reeves when we were up by 6 were the difference in this game. That gave UNCW 4 easy put-back points.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

There's no time for this. You got to foul earlier

 

[UKDC80]

Just a typical home loss by Cal.

 

[crawfords corner]

What a ridiculously bad loss.

 

[KYCAT78]

Cal again gives us another one of our worst home losses ever. Thanks.

Add it to the list of failures realized under Cal.

 

[GoNoles111]

Reed and Dillingham on the floor together ain't it, too dang small, just getting bullied.

 

[Lazlo7]

They came to play, UK thought they were owed. This happens. I blame Cal, not sure why but I blame him.

 

[JFCats22]

All the good and excitement from the Miami game thrown away a few days later….at home.

Embarrassing

 

[bbncal02]

This is why I have little confidence of this year being any different.

Good news is if Cal's chokes this year away he's gone. You can't have this much talent and a double legacy kid and eff this up.

 

[azubuikefan]

He barely even played so that makes zero sense.

People just make shit up.

 

[true blue1]

0-1 on the new court

Embarrassing loss.

 

[gharding07]

Seed line down bump loss.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Another coach could have this team in the driver’s seat for #9. I just don't trust Cal to get out of the hole he’s dug.

John Calipari is who we thought he was. Gold in, garbage out.

 

[kyleb740]

I don’t see how you can throw this on Cal. He let the kids play and they were bad today. Like I can’t look at any player and say they played well.

I thought we went away from Mitchell touches but other that the players just didn’t show up today.

 

[LmdCat]

Dilly CANNOT play defense ... it is just that simple !!

We realize this. Why didn't the coach? Edwards nor Reeves can play defense as well.

 

[wildcatcorner]

 

[FanofUK]

The missed rebounds by Reeves when we were up by 6 were the difference in this game. That gave UNCW 4 easy put-back points.

Totally agree, he missed another a possession or 2 before that one.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Good news is if Cal's chokes this year away he's gone. You can't have this much talent and a double legacy kid and eff this up.

Fire him today. I'm effing done man.

 

[KyCatFan]

A Q1 win and a Q3 loss in one week. Expected more from this group. That's on me for setting a high bar.

This is what you keep getting with this garbage coaching. The coaching is night and day better from the opponents most games. We always revert to hero ball.
