Perry and Chandler…

[WhiskeyCityCat]

As long as these guys are playing a bunch of minutes we are in trouble each and every game. We might win a game like @Tennessee but we also might lose games like tonight. Our team is banged up and we are playing guys who should get scrub minutes. That’s just the truth. I’m more concerned with getting healthy than this game tonight. Pope is still our guy…sober up and come back tomorrow. GoCats!

I really need to know why Noah didn’t play.

I really need to know why Noah didn’t play.

I do as well…but I’m not sure he would have made much of a difference. Arkansas was way more athletic than any of our bench players.

Can’t say it’s defense why Noah didn’t play, it’s not like almonor was stopping anyone on D.

correct. We have them in together tonight.

I really like Perry, but damn, he just looks SO slow-footed compared to other SEC guards.

I hate it but Perry has a couple things going against him. Size, speed and strength are the reasons he struggles on D so bad.

Agree but id rather see him than Chandler. I guess he’s trying to get a hint of defense on the floor with Chandler and probably trying to keep him from transferring back to BYU.

Sure.

But that should not come at the cost of losing games we should win.

Well that goes without saying.

Chandler did play some decent defense tonight. He stayed in front of whoever he was guarding most of the time. Offense still limited. But he hustled on D

 

[Stretch98]

Nellie Davis was on fire and on his way to a 30-point game until Chandler came in and completely shut him down. He is long and athletic and hustles his butt off. Tell me what Brea gave us tonight?

We are a rich man’s BYU… oh wait. They are going to have top 5 picks in the next two drafts. But who cares?????? At least our guys play for the front of the jersey. Arkansas sucks, but people need to accept that Pope is more likely than not to have a less successful tenure here than Cal.

 

[sammysdad05]

Say it out loud. Chandler hasn’t played basketball at all for over a year because of his mission. And now he’s basically ok to play the entire 2nd half against real SEC opponents?!!!

Our guys are here for NIL money. Let's not kid ourselves.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Wasn’t Chandler a top 30 recruit in his high school class?

 

[rolaid]

Pope was baffling tonight
Basically played Carr instead of Noah he said
Play Noah instead of Chandler

This 100% ...Brea couldn't stay with Nellie! Come on people! When you break down the matchups, who was going to sub for oweh/Brea? ...
Nellie would eat perry alive! Noah I doesn't have the athletic ability to stay with him.

If we can get butler to give us 15 minutes per game that would help greatly! Because as of now, I think you have to play Chandler depending on matchups. And he did stay with Nellie Davis! He actually defended half decent!

Perry couldn't guard Wagner, and really struggled to get the offense going against him!

 

[IH8BlueDevilsandUNcheat]

I love Perry and he can flat out shoot the ball, but atm he's walk on talent at everything else.

 

[Tubbyfan78]

Chandler was twice as good as Brea tonight. Brea is one of the worst players in UK memory when he’s not hot. He’s Michael Porter bad when not hitting.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

I don’t think either guy will ever be able to hang with SEC talent. Perry hits a three here and there, but any shots he makes are negated by his woeful defense. Chandler probably should not have gone on his religious mission. He’s cooked.
