****** OFFICIAL USCjr vs Kentucky Game Thread ******

[jwphelps]

Cal got those shitty years solely because of that contract forcing us to keep him. His ass should have been fired no later than after the 9 win Covid year.

As for Pope, if this team had been rough all year then it would be understandable that they’re playing bad. But when you show for half the season that you’re one of best teams in the country and then you start playing as bad as they have and losing to teams they have then there’s no excuses or passes. We have ATLEAST 2 losses that shouldn’t have happened under any circumstances and you could argue that it could be 3 or 4.

You have to take into account all the injuries this year, this team needs a MASH unit to keep it on the floor.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Let's get us a nice win by double digits and focus on an even bigger win Tuesday night. We need these.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Need Butler out there getting some good reps as long as he's not getting beat to a pulp. Knock off some rust.

I can’t tell how much his shoulder is bothering him. Offensively he isn’t looking to score at all, but defensively he is still being the same pest he always was.

 

[HenryMuto]

Funny in years past we were so pissed how bad our seasons went and we would get a #2 or #3 seed in the SEC tournament.

This year we are just praying for a top 8 seed so we don't have to play on Wednesday

 

[bbncal02]

True. South Carolina has been competitive almost every night out and against good teams as well. This is not a bad a team as their record says. The sec is just unforgiving

I mean they lost to undoubtably the best team in CBB by 3. And should've won. This conference is hard as hell.

 

[NociHTTP]

Butler is simply here to run the offense and let Jaxson play offense. He’s cutting it out. He’s clearly not able to score like usual

Difference in a Year 1 coach with a jerry rigged team and a Year 13-15 coach with #1-2 recruiting classes.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Huge difference defensively.
If the cats can get the offense rolling in the 2nd half, we could finally see a blowout.
Missed a lot of bunnies in the first half and that wide open three by Brea, ugh, I wish that went down.

Credit to you, Digger. You kept saying this team could be a lot better defensively. I didn’t believe it but I may have been wrong.

 

[jwphelps]

Would you prefer we weren't getting right? Goodness.

The idiot complaining about S.C. obviously has not watched or followed S.C. they maybe 0-9 they took Auburn to the wire, and have competed well they just seem to fail to finish down the stretch, if UK keeps playing like this they won't have to worry about finishing UK will have locked the door.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

True. South Carolina has been competitive almost every night out and against good teams as well. This is not as bad a team as their record says. The sec is just unforgiving

They have actually gotten beat by double digits on the sec road n every game but 1.

Difference between home and away is a big deal clearly for them. I'm glad we aren't playing them n sc.

 

[Farsight]

Im glad Amari is trying to go hard against the rim. About time

 

[NociHTTP]

WTH, Amari, lol. Glad you scored.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Good defense by Oweh 💪

 

[bbncal02]

Credit to you, Digger. You kept saying this team could be a lot better defensively. I didn’t believe it but I may have been wrong.

Better, but we are playing an offensively challenged team as well. I'll take it. But has to get consistent.

 

[FirewithFire]

The is the most obvious moving screen I have seen all year long. Of course a foul on UK.

 

[Seth_C]

Refs found their missing whistles I see.

 

[NociHTTP]

I say move Amari to PG, and Lamont to C

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Foul on Butler though glad to see him swarming to the ball

Henry man this coming from me is kinda sad, but I think everybody gets it, your not pleased and don’t like where Kentucky is

 

[HenryMuto]

57% career FT shooter hits both............of course he blew the Auburn game down 1 missing both

 

[bbncal02]

Henry man this coming from me is kinda sad, but I think everybody gets it, your not pleased and don’t like where Kentucky is

Is what it is. Sure, we started off great. But we KNEW this conference was gonna be hard.

 

[wccat2969]

Why does Amari reach like that?

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

You would think playing the worst team in the SEC would be exactly what this UK team needs. Instead we look as bad as they do

Let's see if you delete all this garbage like you usually do. The multi-quote, just like the rhythm, is gonna getchuh if you do, though.

🤣

 

[bbncal02]

Jax No!

JAX YES!

 

[JFCats22]

Beautiful Jaxon!!

 

[NociHTTP]

Almanor not playing good defense. Sagged off the shooter from deep.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

We should call Almonor, Not So Big Cuz

 

[JFCats22]

Almonor has become completely useless on the court. He literally does nothing.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

ref wasn’t even looking at the dang play but made a call because the scar guy reacted

 

[bbncal02]

Yeah I wanted a replay on that.

 

[Chief Paducah]

You have to take into account all the injuries this year, this team needs a MASH unit to keep it on the floor.

And it’s not necessarily about an injury but at what position those injuries happen. I mean our 2 primary point guards.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Almonor has become completely useless on the court. He literally does nothing.

If he ain’t hitting 3s he virtually is

 

[JFCats22]

Why do we not shoot more threes? Pope preached at least 30 per game and we never get to that many.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Would you prefer we weren't getting right? Goodness.

No I’m glad we are winning that’s not what I’m saying but we need to get right with the teams .500 plus and coaches that used to coach here! We don’t need to be in 10th place in the SEC that’s for damn sure!

 

[FirewithFire]

WTF how is that not a foul!

 

[JFCats22]

Oweh…yikes. That was ugly

 

[bbncal02]

No foul on Oweh?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Oweh ain’t get fouled

 

[JFCats22]

We are the weakest team I have ever seen at the basket. It’s amazing.

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

We get zero foul calls on our drives. Meanwhile in the first half that's a foul on Carr.
