Has 13 points with 4 minutes to go in the first half against the worst UCLA I’ve ever seen.
Wheeler/Brooks led Washington

Would love to play them in the tourney. See how the little quitter stacks up.
Down 8 to UCLA at the half. Would be an awful loss for them. UCLA is AWFUL.
The circus midget had his one shining moment and still lost by 12.
We have some truly pathetic fans. Treat the kid like dirt when he's here and then treat him just as bad when he leaves. I still firmly believe he quit because of the treatment by our "fans". Not because he lost his starting spot.
Boo frickin hoo. They are paid now. Grow some skin and do your damn job.
Poor baby. Can’t handle criticism. Play poorly, expect it. Quit on your team, expect it. This is the real world. Kid is soft, and a quitter. I don’t feel bad for him at all. How the hell did he make it through high school?
Lol you firmly believe that huh? Then you have an even lower opinion of him than we do.
Wheeler sucked get over it
That douche bag would go off for 30, drive by our guys for layups and make 6-9 from 3. I don’t want to play them just because of our history against small guards.
It is very impressive that he scored almost half of their points, on 10-16 shooting, with 2-3 from three.
Teammates were shooting poorly, so he only had 2 assists, but he did have 6 turnovers.
He played 38 minutes. UCLA won 73-61.
All-in-all ... a very solid game, I think.
Lots of players aren't that great. Most do not get treated like he did. We have had many, many, many players worse than Wheeler over the years who weren't treated even remotely that crappy.
What we say on a message board is irrelevant.
Now if people were being rude and hateful to Wheeler or any other player in person they are the scum of the earth.

You can see your way out any time then, there’s a school right down the road that might be more conducive to your soft mentality.
What? I'm a fan of the team. Why would I be a fan of the fans? Especially since so many of them are jerks.
Nobody ever said anything about that. “Fan of the fans”…the hell you talking about? You do sound like a Nancy boy nice guy though.
Tell us more about how we can be as good of fans as you are. We’re all very interested
Wheeler…
I told you guys he didn’t have it from the get go. It’s the mind boggling cal recruit and why cal was enamored with wheeler you’d think he had something on cal.

I was harsher on Wheeler than most while he was here but let’s not get carried away. Wheeler was better than a few other guards we’ve had under Cal.
What's the main thing you're talking about? Booing? I didn't participate in that but I understand it to a degree. Message board or Twitter/X griping? Find me a blue blood fanbase that isn't constantly acting pissy about everything online.
If something beyond those things happened that was much more extreme than the usual fishbowl experience of playing at UK maybe you'll change my mind. I'm genuinely willing to listen here.
I guess what I'm getting at is that it comes with the territory. If you sign with the Yankees you know New York people are going to absolutely shred you if you suck. If you go to play point guard at Kentucky or another blue blood you need to have the appropriate level of ability AND brass balls. Wheeler obviously didn't.

How many players wouldn't quit if their own fans were booing them when they checked into a game?
Why does every thread on this board degenerate into discussion of how bad our fans such. Why not discuss the topic at hand,but that wouldnt fix your agenda would it
What's my agenda exactly? In this thread, it was to say that it made me sick how many fans treated Wheeler. Is that an agenda, I'm not sure? Are there people who actually defend some of the meanest things that were said about him when he was on our team? Is there anyone who would defend fans booing him at Rupp when he checked into games?
That was my initial point. But then people come on and reply and make it personal, so some of my responses were directed at that.
