Why in the world did we schedule Penn?

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…
Yep. They shot 61% from 3 pt range in their last game.
 
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
 
shows you the state of this program. Fans are scared of Penn, lol

Good lord.
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.

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.

Who plays for us? Does Burks see minutes at the 3? Does Bradshaw play more minutes and better? Do we have 7 or 8 or 9 guys in the rotation?

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...
I'm an infiltrator? This is hilarious. Mr. Clueless above has no idea what Calipari said post game, but I'm the infiltrator.

Glorious...

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? :)
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).
 
To 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.
Mitchell, the veteran, was laughing at the line before missing critical FTS

Yet another Karen melting to down trying to fit in with the mob. Outraged by coach speak and sarcasm. How embarrassing.

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.
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.

And calling out "Karen's" ..So brave

Simply hilarious.
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.

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.

A grown man shouldn’t be this sensitive. Especially one who plays a tough guy online. Hugs bro.

You’ve e been watching sports your whole life and still don’t know what coach speak is. You take coaches post game comments literally… if it fits your agenda. Normal people roll their eyes and keep it movin.

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.
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.
