***UNC vs. UK Game Thread ***

[CincyUKFan]

And already setting up the UNC is terrible narrative if UK wins

We can debate how good they are. Or just let the season play out and see what their final record is. I will guarantee this: Duke will curb stomp them twice.

 

[CB3UK]

They make 8 threes a game and won 5 in-a-row. Enough to get all the talking heads on board.

I'm watching a terrible North Carolina team out there today. I'm not sure what you guys are watching. They are playing like absolute shit and it is delightful.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Thoughts

1. We didn’t allow any inbounds layups 😀
2. Wheeler playing his a** off 😀
3. Oscar fouls on just about every play. 😬
4. Offense better keep hitting shots because Carolina is going to score a lot easier this half.

Go Cats

What has happened to Toppin? He looks lost on both ends the last 2 games. If he can get himself under control, he could be a force. Those last 4 minutes, he really hurt us.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Cal needs this win. A win over the hated Heels acts as a stop gap measure for a week or so, and one BBN really needs.

We need this.

 

[Bigblueamdyou]

You mean he's a fat ass ?

And UNC being 0-6 from deep. If they get back to their 41% average, it could spell trouble.

our defense is the cause of that

They couldn’t buy a bucket for awhile. But if they get hot beyond the arc. Ugh.

 

[CincyUKFan]

Grady has got to get more shots off, he turned down a couple already. There are times when we didn't have anybody on the floor that could score, thankfully Cal noticed that. Guy Toppin has all the tools and I'm not seeing much. He is a junior and plays like a freshman, he's got to contribute more if we are going to be a good team.

Toppin should be looking to take his man off the dribble and dunk on him. Every other shot he attempts in the lane has no chance.

 

[UKortho]

Are you high? Oscar would be fouled out by now. UNC and Duke can do that crap. We can’t.

I would just leave him in and play regular minutes until/unless he fouled out.

 

[Ed323232]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 People crying about being up 11 at the half.

 

[crxohio]

Brooks if you taken, get to making 👍

 

[The_Answer1313]

I don't understand some of the logic.

If we look like garbage it's because we are awful.

If we play good basketball like we did in that half, the other team is awful.

Maybe just maybe............our play is causing them to be awful Lol

 

[bbncal02]

God I hope that’s sarcasm.

 

[jameslee32]

Wymer is no picnic.

Never heard of him. Bottom-line is if Oscar can play the entire 2nd half, we have a great chance to get the W.

 

[UKortho]

If Oscar is allowed to play through the fouls, he would finish the game having played more minutes than if he's benched. Why would you want him to play fewer minutes?

I agree with that. Keep him in.

 

[bbncal02]

Ugh. Anxiety coming on. Feeling a hosing coming up.

 

[crawfords corner]

UK did a good job of controlling the game until that last 2 minutes. We ran when it called for it and ran solid half-court offense. Against Notre Dame we did a horrible job of that.

 

[UKortho]

God I hope that’s sarcasm.

Nope.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Holy shit lmfao

Carolina is apparently a bad team, now. You can't make this shit up anymore.

 

[howercat]

Unccheat hurt uk down low. The stripes will put Schwibee back on the bench in 2nd half with foul trouble

 

[G-PIP]

What has happened to Toppin? He looks lost on both ends the last 2 games. If he can get himself under control, he could be a force. Those last 4 minutes, he really hurt us.

Outside of dunks, Toppin is the worst 2pt. shooter on the team for whatever reason.

 

[CB3UK]

Yep, turn Oscar loose and run it up on these bastards.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Never heard of him. Bottom-line is if Oscar can play the entire 2nd half, we have a great chance to get the W.

Auburn game.

He's also been involved in another NCAA exit.

 

[bbncal02]

Nope.

And that’s why you’re not a basketball coach. Geez.

 

[jameslee32]

Toppin
PTS 3
AST 3
REB 3

 

[bookerfan66]

It's frustrating that nether Toppin or Brooks has taken over the 4.

 

[crawfords corner]

Oh yea, thats another thing. UNC's bench is dreadful. Gotta find a way to get in to that.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Carolina one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the country averaging 8 a game. They 0-6 at the half. They start hitting them it will be a game

 

[CB3UK]

I know one thing. I'd tongue blast Jamie Erdahl's poop chute.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

She is a cutie.

 

[bbncal02]

Alright guys. Time for a war.

 

[UKortho]

And that’s why you’re not a basketball coach. Geez.

Neither is Cal.

 

[ganner918]

There we go!!!

 

[crawfords corner]

GRADY FOR 3!!!!

 

[Roe07]

Grady please shoot more!

 

[jameslee32]

GRADY FOR 3!!!

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Grady

 

[March 22]

Why can’t our coach run simple plays to free up shots for Grady? Arguably the best shooter in the NCAA and we’re wasting him.

 

[Seth_C]

Lots of refs seem to have it out against Calipari. I wonder what he says to them all game that makes them turn into vengeful wenches.

It can’t be anything K didn’t say to them, and they kiss his ass.

It's in part because the shooting is not sharp from both teams. Shooting shapes perception of performance than any other category.
