I am sure fans worry more about who starts than the players. Also if coaches gave up on players as quickly then at some point during the season, all of the players would be on the bench.
Wagner Edwards

Doesn't matter who starts though bro.
And if Rob or Reed starts we might have been down 11-0. Dumbest what if argument ever..
Wasn't he the SEC freshman of the week the last two weeks? Guys have bad games, that's just how basketball works. And on a team like this there will be games where good players score very few points just because other guys were hot that night.
Is that a real fear for you due to our starting line up? Our line up is good where it is. I bet 90% of the posts on this thread agree.
It usually doesn’t matter who starts but this team might be different.
Have a great night, Beast Incarnate.
I'm fine with the lineup. Just start Thiero over Edwards. I'm just arguing that saying it doesn't matter who starts is aisine. If that was the case why didn't Phil Jackson bring Scottie Pippen and Jordan off the bench?
When guys have similar skill sets IN COLLEGE then no it doesn't matter. When you compare 2 guys that are top 25 all time nba players then yeah lmao.
Because it's NOT an absolute one size fits all situation. Every player and every team is different......they pay people lots of money to figure out the best scenario for the team they coach.
Usual morons in here complaining after a win. It’s really becoming unbelievable.
What happens when fans from other teams come here pretending to be UK fans so they can make the board unbearable. They think they have people snowed over, but, wrong.
You mean the game he had 25 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. That’s the only game he started and he was the only one that showed up for that game
OMG 5-0. You mean they were able to somehow make 2 shots in a row? Somebody needs to figure this shit out wtf are we doing!
Your ignorance never ends. Seriously, go cheer for your Blue devils already and leave the UK talk to real UK fans.
spotting UL 5-0, not a big deal
spotting the #5 seed in the tourney 5-0 might just be
No, Reed had a great +/- that game. Cal took Sheppard out when UK was up 60-51. Kansas went on a 14-2 run to make it 62-65. Then UK was up 81-75 and Cal took him out again, and Kansas went on a 10-2 run to make it 83-85. Those two times that Reed was taken out resulted in UK being outscored 24-4 as soon as Sheppard was pulled over two different points in the second half
@zannmann why did you change the thread title? Come on, stand by your stupid take and own it. Weak
Are you new to watching basketball or something? I can't wrap my mind around how someone thinks 5 points is some insane run that needs to be figured out.
I like it with Dillingham and Sheppard come off the bench. That is what you need top players coming off the bench that score 12-16 ppg, the number of assists and steals both Shep and Dilly provide off the bench. Wagner has been playing outstanding ball and I thought tonight Edwards in the 2nd half started to play better basketball when the shots started falling for him. If we have Edwards step start to step it up and I like how Coach Cal has pretty much put him on the bench with 14-15 minutes the last 2-3 games and made Edwards know he needs to step it up and play like he is capable of playing each night. We saw a big glimpse of that in the 2nd half tonight with Edwards. To see Wagner and Bradshaw score only 4 points between them and only play 20 minutes each and UK still win by 19 is huge when it comes SEC time and March Madness time. I thought Edwards was starting to break out in the 2nd half and he scored 13 points. We had Reeves with 30, Mitchell with a big game with 18 & 12 double-double, Sheppard 11 and 11 assists huge game, Dillingham with 12, and Edwards with 13 and 7 tonight. The next game we will see big games from Wagner and Bradshaw and that is what a good team needs that can 8 or 9 deep and have 2 or 3 players have double-double games. This team is special and has a great shot at the Final Four and winning it all but the one big thing that has hurt UK the last 2 seasons is Injuries during last part of the season heading into March Madness. UK needs to stay healthy and we know Coach Cal teams always gets better on 'D' throughout the season.
Seems you do

I thought Edwards played well in the second half, and it wasn’t garbage time. People are way too hard on him. Players develop at different rates.
I can only conclude at this point you are an incredibly dense person.
Minus some missed dunks the guy has been pretty solid from about 8-10 feet in. Inside the arc overall he's 35 of 61
I assume this is an attempt at sarcasm considering Wagner did not play in the UNC-W game.
If you don't think that 5-0 is some great lead then why would it be such a problem against a #5 seed? You are obviously so dumb you don't understand what you are typing implies.
I honestly think we would be better if Edwards hadn't chosen UK. Adou and Reed would be getting those mins. Adou is a stud and a future all American. Needs more mins to get into a rhythm.
That said I love Edwards upside as well and I'm in no way putting him down. Edwards playing through struggles is just at the detriment of Thiero
I could explain it to you using small words but at this point I think its still 50/50 whether you would understand.
just try "wrapping your head around" spotting a team 5 points that you have to play your "A" game to beat.
if that makes you dizzy or god forbid forces you into a moment of introspection, sit down, breath evenly and try taking a nap
you want entertaining watch the UCF/Syracuse game. Its a nightmare that won't end for Syracuse
It’s not who starts. It’s who finishes.
That said, the slow starts are annoying and I think related. But whatevs.

I spoke too soon about this football game. Saints only down 8.... Quick, you guys need to fight some more lol
