Penn beat Nova, which isn't as big a deal as it sounds these days but in their 4 losses 3 were in OT. I expect a competitive game from Penn. However after last games fiasco I would hope we come out on fire.UNC Wilmington lost by 30 to App State

Yet they beat Villanova 76 to 72. 21st ranked Villanova.Penn lost to Md eastern shore. They are not that good. Relax
Yep. They shot 61% from 3 pt range in their last game.They hit 21 3’s last game.. same approach as UNCW. Will spread floor n move ball to get matchup they want to take us off dribble! Our coach can’t teach man D anymore for some reason n is to damn stubborn to at least try changing defenses to slow the other team down…
No way it could be worse than our man to man defense that leaves the wings and corners open.You want to play zone defense against a team that hit 21 threes? Seriously?
I was told this was scheduled for a homecoming of sorts for Edwards.Why isn’t this game at Rupp?
Nobody's "scared". Only slightly more worried than we were against UNCW. Did you see the loss with UNCW coming? I sure did. They did one thing very well, and one thing that poorly defend against. Penn shoots the 3 even better, and more guys can do it. It's basketball, a game. Nobody should be "scared". But we can, and should given past history, be concerned about that game.shows you the state of this program. Fans are scared of Penn, lol
Good lord.
UNCW got blown out by App State and lost to ECU. I wouldn’t relax too much.Penn lost to Md eastern shore. They are not that good. Relax
Maybe scared isn't the right word, but clearly most on the board have no idea what to expect from the game tomorrow. We have had a week to get better from the loss at home last week. Penn is probably a better team than UNC-W and may be similar to St Joes.Nobody's "scared". Only slightly more worried than we were against UNCW. Did you see the loss with UNCW coming? I sure did.

Lmao sure you are. Make me sit down. Derp.Sure. I’m paid to coach high level basketball and you aren’t. Sit down.
Uncw lost to appy state by 30, 2 weeks ago. I have very little confidence.Penn lost to Md eastern shore. They are not that good. Relax
Lmao sure you are. Make me sit down. Derp.
Dude , I was serious about being told it was for Edwards.Why isn’t this game at Rupp?
Spending time posting about things you don’t care about… weird flex.Does anyone even care about this game?
After last week not even sure I'll watch it all
I'm an infiltrator? This is hilarious. Mr. Clueless above has no idea what Calipari said post game, but I'm the infiltrator.WTH? Might have something to do with we need quality games, coupled with the fact WE ARE KENTUCKY after all. SEC play is around the corner... I'm darn near embarrassed by this thread. Joke or no joke, OP must be an infiltrator...
Our coach who is paid around 9 million a year said one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard from a coach whose team just got embarrassed at home.As expected, this thread isn't going very far. Not even made it to the 2nd page. Which again supports my original question - what was the point of this thread, and where where you on this board for the first several UK wins? That's right, you only come out during bad performances so you can pound your big Billy Bad Ass bass drum of extremist anti-Cal hatred.
But at least you got some fodder love from the small spattering of ultra-Cal-hate buddies. I'm agitated with Cal often and this has been clear in my criticisms of him all around this board over the last couple of years. But I'm not jumping on your extremist bandwagon after one bad game that came on the heels of several pretty fantastic showings. Had we look bad up until UNCW, I'd be singing a different tune (although still not as extreme as those of you that start and restart and restart thread after thread believing if you say it enough, and say it louder, everyone will just take on your extremist opinion, and maybe that'll be enough for Cal to be canned). My hopes are this was an outlier. Am I a little concerned - yep, because we all know how Cal can take a great thing and suddenly push the wheels off the car. But it's just too soon to be spending inordinate amounts of negative energy harping about it in every thread, every response, and every angle.
And go ahead and respond with the usual "you're a blind idiot if you don't see it", or "you and your Cal apologists...blah blah blah". You couldn't be more wrong if you've seen my postings over the last few years. I just really don't like the extreme individuals for each opinion - the haters and the apologists. Believe it or not, and this won't make you happy because your goal here is to bring everyone over to the "dark hate side", but the majority of UK fans even on this board are middle of the roaders - one day they are pissed at Cal, and the next day they might give him a reprieve. Fans in Kentucky that don't go on the boards are nowhere near those of us on this forum - they are very loose fans. Hell, no one around me at the Miami game in Rupp had even heard of Pat Adams when I talked about him! If you're a UK fan and don't get pissed at the name Pat Adams, what good are you?
Mitchell, the veteran, was laughing at the line before missing critical FTSTo be fair, no one presses for 40 minutes anymore and for good reason. Most times, every position can handle the ball these days, making a press very easy to break. Also, he wouldn’t be adapting by pressing for 40 minutes, he would be going back in time to the 90’s when it was used a whole lot more.
Our guys simply just didn’t play with a sense of urgency and that falls on both Cal and the players. A young team will sometimes do that when playing a lesser team, except we have Mitchell and Reeves who should have also known better by being veteran players. Our man to man defense is great when our guys are fully engaged.
The game against Penn will tell us a lot about our team and our season trajectory. If we come out like our hind ends are on fire, you can say all is well and game on to the season. If we come out flat, expect a season a lot like last year.
And beat 21st ranked Nova. They absolutely can be.Penn lost to Md eastern shore. They are not that good. Relax
I know. I found it funny. 🤣 EDIT: Sure hope he doesn’t let him take 15/20 shots again. Dude will shoot us right out of the game.Dude , I was serious about being told it was for Edwards.
Me too ! lolI know. I found it funny. 🤣 EDIT: Sure hope he doesn’t let him take 15/20 shots again. Dude will shoot us right out of the game.
Yet another Karen melting to down trying to fit in with the mob. Outraged by coach speak and sarcasm. How embarrassing.Our coach who is paid around 9 million a year said one of the most idiotic things I have ever heard from a coach whose team just got embarrassed at home.
"Why did we schedule a team like UNC-W?" I still can't believe he made that comment.
So guess what Sherlock, imo, he deserves to be mocked. Some will agree, some will not.
I just don't care this thread doesn't meet with your approval (and yet here are you with multiple posts in it....lol).
Not nearly embarrassing as Calipari's comments.Yet another Karen melting to down trying to fit in with the mob. Outraged by coach speak and sarcasm. How embarrassing.
And calling out "Karen's" ..So bravelol sarcasm. That wasn’t sarcasm, Cal meant it. This isn’t the first mid major Cal has said that about after losing to them. Lmao at “the mob”! 🤣
Nah, melting down like a Karen and not having the good sense to recognize coach speak and sarcasm is infinitely worse. I guess Cal forgot who he was dealing with. Truth is you would have cried no matter what he said.Not nearly embarrassing as Calipari's comments.
Losing at home to UNC -W who lost by THIRTY to App State, is probably not the best time for "coach speak and sarcasm".
But you do you.
So brave? What does brave have to do with it? You are what you are and you habitually fake outrage… even over coach speak and sarcasm like a Karen.And calling out "Karen's" ..So brave
Simply hilarious.
You're not right, but even if you were, a coach who is 11-5 at home in his last 16 games should not be a smartass in front of the cameras.Nah, melting down like a Karen and not having the good sense to recognize coach speech and sarcasm is infinitely worse.

A grown man shouldn’t be this sensitive. Especially one who plays a tough guy online. Hugs bro.You're not right, but even if you were, a coach who is 11-5 at home in his last 16 games should not be a smartass in front of the cameras.
You are Example A for this “forum”.I'm struggling to figure out the point of this post? Where were you pre-UNCW, by the way?
Wow, I love your confidence. I think we played a similar team last game.Penn lost to Md eastern shore. They are not that good. Relax
We're not sure, we never heard back.Because Teller wasn't available?
Think Penn is the best of the big five this season cuz it’s a down year for Nova and the rest of them suck
That guy have 10K posts in a little over two years. He lives on this site. But has said many time that he probably won't watch games. Really weird.Spending time posting about things you don’t care about… weird flex.
In related news, I don’t know or follow hockey. I just want everyone to know I won’t be watching it.
It is a homecoming game for the three metroWhy isn’t this game at Rupp?
As I said before “relax”! Good win Cats!UNCW got blown out by App State and lost to ECU. I wouldn’t relax too much.
