Anyone who is still defending the lineups is just, well, you must really be in love with the guy. But you might want to stand to your feet at some point, because he’s literally losing as bad as any coach we’ve fired or ran off to this point, if not worse. Kentucky is LOSING constantly and we’re about to begin looking at an Indiana situation. So whenever you’re ready to sac up, please start a “pumper awakening” thread so the other 5 can see it too. Y’all are nauseatingly awful.
There are 3 guards who have earned a starting spot. They also just happen to be the 3 that are statistically, factually, the best 3 together according to the math. They also all have R’s that begin their first or last name. It just so happens that no coach in the history of college basketball has had guys to this caliber sitting the bench while we dig a hole non stop to begin games ( or stay flat, rarely open it up).
There is no doubt he’s given special treatment to Wagner and Edwards. They are backup level players at best, and at times they aren’t even worth that. There’s isn’t a reason in the world to continue to start them and play them 15+ minutes yet here we are. And the funny thing is, both of their draft positions have been nuked by the way Calipari is handling them.
So please give it a damn rest. OP is on the money with this. It’s insane that anyone would even question that Calipari has made promises he thinks he must keep. And he will destroy this season to keep the Wagners happy, that much is a given too.
