So dumbTime to start Reed and Dilly.
WellSo you’ve determined this after seeing him as a starter how many times? Did you enjoy being down 5-0 to start the game again?
University-6 agreed with you for the 6,000th time. You must be onto something.Thiero was having back issues which is what sidelined him....but yeah..."sabotage". Goodness.
Who TF cares who starts? I care who PLAYS.
Wagner literally just won SEC Freshman of the week and hit two HUGE shots down the stretch to help us win vs. UNC, and we also got out to a hot start and took the early lead against UNC.
But yeah, the "experiment" should end.
There's about 20% of this board that are complete and total shitshow on a daily basis and it's wild to me.
We might be ranked in the Top 5 come Monday and people act like the sky is falling. Crying and sobbing in every thread "Wahhhhh my favorite player doesn't get to play for the jump ball wahhhh".
Who. TF. CARES. They ALL play. They are ALL happy. We are WINNING. The guys LOVE each other and cheer for each other's success.
The only "fans" who care about this stuff are on this board.
And I didn't hear them say SHIT after Wagner helped us take down UNC or Wagner won us the St. Joe's game.
Adou had a back injury.Edwards scored 9 points after the 9:00 mark of the second half. Garbage time points. While Theiro played 3 second half minutes. Seems like sabotage of one guy.
Did you miss the UNCW game? Wagner’s absence was the reason we lost.How pivotal to the team’s success was he tonight? I do believe if the dude blew out his knee and we were forced to play Reed and Dilly more, and give Thiero more time at the 3 - we’d be FINE - if not better.
Reed started the UNC-W game, and we STILL got off to a slow start. You guys like to push this narrative that the only reason we get off to slow starts is because Reed isn't starting. It's false. We've seen what happens when Reed gets the start. We don't have to play hypotheticals.Is this a real take? So you'd rather go down lets say 16-2 to purdue in the tournament?
LOL. This is such a stupid take.How pivotal to the team’s success was he tonight? I do believe if the dude blew out his knee and we were forced to play Reed and Dilly more, and give Thiero more time at the 3 - we’d be FINE - if not better.
Huh? I'm just saying that saying it doesn't matter who starts is a stupid ass take. You're generalizing. I haven't said start Reed over Wagner anywhere.Reed started the UNC-W game, and we STILL got off to a slow start.

I am NOT generalizing. I'm giving you a very specific example.Huh? I'm just saying that saying it doesn't matter who starts is a stupid ass take. You're generalizing. I haven't said start Reed over Wagner anywhere.
When did I say start Reed Sheppard? I'm saying ''it doesn't matter who starts'' is hilarious.I am NOT generalizing. I'm giving you a very specific example.
Reed starting would prevent the slow starts is the stupid ass take. We've seen it's not true.
Saw one today that had Edwards 3rd and Wagner like 10.But that’s factually not true now. Many mocks don’t have DJ in the first round now! And Edwards stock is plummeting too.
This take is hilarious to me. Not knocking DJ but him being out was seriously the difference in winning and losing against UNCW? I don’t get that. How did we win tonight then? Because DJ did nothing tonight offensively or defensively.Did you miss the UNCW game? Wagner’s absence was the reason we lost.
Learn the game.
That’s exactly why we lost to UNCW. Reed wasn’t prepared to run the offense at that particular stage of the season. Dillingham wasn’t either. Both their games were thrown off as a result. Reeves was adversely affected as well. UNCW guards were better than Louisville’s. We ran all over Louisville, got what we wanted. They even played some zone. UNCW’s guards played us tighter.This take is hilarious to me. Not knocking DJ but him being out was seriously the difference in winning and losing against UNCW? I don’t get that.

We lost that game because our defense is HORRIBLE and we let them do anything they wanted.
You should have been able to have taken any player you wanted off our team out of that game for the night and still won that game.
There will be nights that the shots just aren’t falling and on those nights with the defense this team is currently playing they will more than likely lose.
One of the 7 footers has to develop or as Cal says come tournament time a team without a big man is a fraud.
I think HE thinks we would win each game by 35 instead of 25. I am content. They will start when it is time.Um no, are you blind? It’s working this way.
Wagner does ok as long as he is not shooting bricks from 3 point land him and Edwards dont need to be shooting 3’sWagner has the worst offensive rating on the team - except Ugonna. He also takes the second most shots (behind Dilly).
But the question is why would they start at all? They started when DJ was out and we got beat by UNCW in Rupp. Starters and bench players play the same minutes, so what’s the issue?I think HE thinks we would win each game by 35 instead of 25. I am content. They will start when it is time.
he is a 2 time freshman of the weekPlus Wagner has been playing well...Wagner is doing ok, but just not what he was advertised.
No, no, no. Why do people want to mess w/ the formula when it's working? We've got 4 talented players inthat group, and 2 HAVE to be subs. Not every player has the mindset for this; Rob and Reed do, apparently, so why rock the boat? We've got to have DJ and Justin playing to their potential for this team to reach its zenith, and neither are killing us in the starting line=up. I would think the unc-w game would have shown you the value of having DJ in the lineup.Time to start Reed and Dilly.
Who do you think should start?When did I say start Reed Sheppard? I'm saying ''it doesn't matter who starts'' is hilarious.
I didn’t. I guess an admin changed it for some reason.@zannmann why did you change the thread title?
I wouldn’t go that far, but I feel pretty comfortable starting any of the top 8 guys.Let’s just start five walk ons, since it doesn’t matter who starts and all. Unreal. 🤣
I’m clearly being facetious. Wagner starting is fine. Edwards is a different story. Adou would be my starter in that spot.I wouldn’t go that far, but I feel pretty comfortable starting any of the top 8 guys.
Heck, I might even be okay with Onyenso starting, to be honest.
Did you miss the UNCW game? Wagner’s absence was the reason we lost.

This isn’t the NBA where you have the second units going at it for long stretches. Reed and Dilly aren’t coming in and facing bench players. They’re typically coming into the game with the other team’s starting five still out there.The starting lineup is fine but Calipari and the staff need to do a better job putting the players in a position to succeed.
With that lineup the offense should he getting Reeves and Mitchell open 3 looks and Wagner and Edwards slashing to get inside for layups or FTs and Bradshaw getting lobs and put backs and perhaps an open jumper.
The bench we have annihilates the other teams bench and I like that.
The starting group shouldn't have slow starts with the talent it has though.
