UK/Auburn Box Score

[Mike-McD]

Looks like we have our 7-man rotation. Reeves was good, so was Sheppard. Thiero was massive. Edwards still can't out rebound the guards. Wagner still can't shoot but his FTs were solid.

Cal coached a good game. Pearl was clearly frustrated.

[KMKAT]

We had a great box score for +/-. Only spot - were Ivisic and Bradshaw.

Auburn’s entire lineup was negative with the exception of their 11th player.

 

[crawfords corner]

Wagner didn't have a good game offensively, but he played hard defensively and had a good game on that end.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Mike with a short box score after a big win. Interesting.

 

[CincinnatiWildcat]

Seems like guys are starting to understand their role

 

[bucsrule8872]

Wagner and Edwards should shoot less and Sheppard needs to shoot more. That’s the main tweak I would try to make if I’m Cal.

Cal can't make Sheppard shoot more. He passes up looks.

 

[megablue]

I thought the Cats were pesky on defense tonight.

Skunk mating season in Kentucky has gotten underway

It's the time of the year where skunks are out and about looking for mates.

[Fadhi]

If Onyenso makes this type of performance his baseline this team is going to be very competitive

 

[seccats04]

When did Burks get in??

 

[MegaBlue05]

When did Burks get in??

Late first half.

 

[cats#1again]

Wagner didn't have a good game offensively, but he played hard defensively and had a good game on that end.

Wagner did exactly what we need
Drive to the basket and get fouled

 

[CatPhight]

Klunk - Auburn missed another shot...

How upset are you Big Z didn't play more? You've been on a tear with those threads (after thread after thread) lately.

 

[ukcatz12]

Thiero might be this team's best FT shooter. 6/6 tonight, 17/18 since the Tennessee game, and 80% on the year now.

 

[FinancialPlannerZac]

Cal can't make Sheppard shoot more. He passes up looks.

Man you are so right. Definitely a play tonight where Reed gave up a wide open lay-up to kick out for a (missed) three.

 

[Mike-McD]

Why is that interesting?

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Auburn’s entire lineup was negative with the exception of their 11th player.

Which simply shows that is the dumbest analytic of all.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Thiero might be this team's best FT shooter. 6/6 tonight, 17/18 since the Tennessee game, and 80% on the year now.

Was thinking this earlier. He’s definitely top 2/3 IMO.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Man you are so right. Definitely a play tonight where Reed gave up a wide open lay-up to kick out for a (missed) three.

Yep! I didn’t understand that at all! Had a clear path to the basket.

 

[Mike-McD]

Man you are so right. Definitely a play tonight where Reed gave up a wide open lay-up to kick out for a (missed) three.

Yep sometimes Shep outsmarts himself.

I chalk that up to him being a freshman. He needs to learn to make the easy play.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Why is that interesting?

Just figured you would have more to say.

You always do after losses.

 

[Aike]

Wagner did exactly what we need
Drive to the basket and get fouled

Ehhhh. 1 for 6. 1 assist. 4 turnovers. I think it’s fair to see who could do a little better.

 

[Mike-McD]

Just figured you would have more to say.

You always do after losses.

Are you talking about my box score threads? Because that's just patently false. You OBVIOUSLY don't read my box score threads.

I guess you don't know me as well as you think you do.

But your obsession is noted.

 

[Bigblueincincy]

How upset are you Big Z didn't play more? You've been on a tear with those threads (after thread after thread) lately.

Z looked really bad when he was in. Aubum is not a good matchup for him.

 

[seccats04]

Late first half.

Don’t know how I missed that. Thanks.

 

[thedahc]

Wagner and Edwards should shoot less and Sheppard needs to shoot more. That’s the main tweak I would try to make if I’m Cal.

Edwards shot 3 times and made two.....

 

[FinancialPlannerZac]

Uh I certainly agree. OP has conveniently dodged my question. Big win tonight. Proud of our CATS.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Uh I certainly agree. OP has conveniently dodged my question. Big win tonight. Proud of our CATS.

He also denies he doesn't type a lot more when we lose. This was a cliff notes version. Lol

 

[Mike-McD]

I see you dodged my response like a little coward. Go ahead. Show me all my box score threads and back up your point.

 

[G-PIP]

Edwards shot 3 times and made two.....

As long as Edwards sticks to pull-up 12-15 footers and dunks (assuming he can get up there most of the time) then all is good offensively. Then play defense and rebound and we have a solid contributor. Just please don't shoot 3-pointers. He should probably be the last guy on the team to take those, maybe even including Onyenso. News flash: Edwards is NOT a Guard (but he might make a fine combo forward).

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I know you are upset UK won so gonna let that slide. Tell Aflleck hi.

 

[Mike-McD]

That's what I thought, you can't do it and you know it. You're blocked. Bye.
