*UK vs Gonzaga Game Thread*

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

As I said sitting watching the first half in Atlanta against Duke

We are a very mediocre team.

 

[AJG-15]

when coaches cancel each other comes down to execution and quality of the players. Gonzaga has better players at every position. In addition they have returned 80% of their players return so more experienced in the system.

We will get emberassed tonight if Few doesn’t pull his horses out of mercy.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

UK’s what we thought they were… Bash if ya want, but it’s gonna be a loooooooooooong season ..

Who thought they were gonna be bad? Nobody did. Saying it’s gonna be a long season is kinda crazy. 22-9 or 21-10

 

[ManitouDan]

I can tell Williams is British by his play. No fire

French ?

 

[clew84]

If Garrison wasn’t posing and talking smack that’s heading the other way.

 

[NociHTTP]

We are not a good team at all

Pope mentioned it, that guys are not willing to run the offense. When they are doing that, much different team. Just like that movement resulting in a three by Almanor.

 

[gharding07]

Bud Perry is light years from being able to help . Well 2-3 years anyway . He’s not near ready to contribute . He would just get embarrassed

I think we're already getting embarrassed a little lol.

 

[JFCats22]

We are going to lose a LOT of games in SEC play

 

[kywildcat41035]

Garrison to busy flexing while play was still going on like come on dude just play ball. We had the chance on getting possession there.

 

[Basscat1987]

UK looks completely out of sorts.

One question that I have for Pope is whether he is capable of lighting his players asses up when they're mentally weak.

This right here. I’ve been wondering that from the duke game. Sometimes u gotta get in a players ass

 

[sefus12]

So do we have any decent big guy? Williams seems to be more of a liability the past few games than an asset. Garrison is raw as hell, and Carr isn’t a true 5.

 

[megablue]

Are we really this slow footed, horrible at rebounding/50/50 balls or is there no fight??? Wow.

We are simply not a quick, athletic team.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Even on that recovery off of the block, it was like our guys just stood around and watched.

 

[wildcatsincebirth]

This is lack of effort, that's it. We're taking the easy shots snd.letting them beat us to every rebound and loose ball.
This is inexcusable

lol yeah that and the fact that they are way more talented and athletic than we are

But sure the effort could be better

 

[ck-2]

Garrison is even worse

Garrison acts like he cares. Williams acts like he’s forced to play.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Lol Garrison gets a block and instead of tracking the ball that’s still in play decides to flex on Gonzaga. Check the scoreboard and have some awareness my guy

 

[gharding07]

If Garrison wasn’t posing and talking smack that’s heading the other way.

Garrison has is that CB that gets torched 5 times in a row then makes one nice pass breakup and cocks off like he's an all-pro lol.

 

[ukjenning44]

Going against a team with good bigs it shows how weak our inside game is. We need some 3’s.

 

[simnalecho]

We can’t shoot rebound or defend. It’s gonna be a long night

 

[KY Long Rifle]

We just aren’t getting many good looks. I’m not sure what is wrong, but in some of these games we don’t get many good shots. We have to fix that if we are going to get where we want to be.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Almanor tried the save the ball by throwing closer to the out to bounds line instead of throwing it to his wide open teammate 2 feet from him

 

[SemperFiCat]

We have to get something out of Jaxson

I'll settle for at least a hint of toughness at this point.

 

[NociHTTP]

I can tell Williams is British by his play. No fire

I'm telling my husband you said that.

 

[wildcat_nation28]

just not that good.

 

[Digger-Cat]

If we are going to get beat on the glass, sit Williams and go small. What's the point in having him out there? He misses layups, lets guys shoot over him and doesn't get rebounds. He's lazy.

 

[AshWilliams]

This isn't the Gonzaga team that played against West Virginia.

This isn't the Kentucky team that played against Duke.

Yeah no Butler

 

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

We have to get something out of Jaxson

No reason whatsoever he should be as bad as he’s been!!!

 

[CrazyCat74]

If Garrison wasn’t posing and talking smack that’s heading the other way.

Somebody tell him we are down 9 and he's not good enough to pose

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Jaxson a no show in these big time games, can’t afford that now. We were able to pull it out against Duke. Not sure now

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Garrison to busy flexing while play was still going on like come on dude just play ball. We had the chance on getting possession there.

Cost us possession

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

This team has really stunk it up defensively last 3 games.

 

[wildcatsincebirth]

I’m afraid this is the way it’s going to be anytime we play without Butler.

Don’t kid yourself butler would make the final score maybe 7-8 points closer

We were not beating this team butler or no butler. They’re on a different level than we are

 

[Phil_The_Music]

If our guys have to create their own shots, we might as well have Cal. We got Pope so the offense would create looks.

Guys are getting plenty of open looks. They aren't making them.

 

[UKSouthpaw]

Now Garrison posing on a guy during a live ball and can't get to the pass? These guys better find some discipline and heart or they're going to get their asses kicked over and over and over.

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

I don't get what's so modern about this offense. Seems to me half the time the big just stands at the top of the key clueless and tries to be Allen Iverson.

Its become the dribble drive, to be honest. Whoever has the ball is supposed to beat his defender off the dribble. The screens that are set are useless, because our guys leave 4' between the screener so that it is easy for the defender to hang with them. Poor fundamentals on offense.

 

[truckbrandon]

Butler being out is our biggest problem. Behind that, Amari playing lazy is just not gonna work

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Really wish we had landed Jeremiah Fears instead of Kriisa.

 

[bbncal02]

Checking score in my lunch. I as kinda afraid of this.

 

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

Tbh we gave a bunch of money to one year rentals with no other places to go.

 

[Zissou87]

I love our guys, but if they play like this in the SEC, we're going 10-8 in our conference.

Embarrassing.

I think you're underestimating the SEC. There's no way this team will be above .50 in league play like this.
