Thank goodness. Because if he was in the game it would have been a 10 point deficit. His high ball screen defense is so pathetic it's indefensible. Dilly couldn't navigate a screen if his life depended on it.
Why wasn't Dillingham playing in the second half?

Because the rest of the team did it so well you are saying ?
So your stance is Dilly should never play again. Good to know.
And Cal, how do you know Dilly wouldn't have gone on one of his 14 point runs to outscore the opponent by 4 points singlehandedly???
You think like Cal. Cal doesn't have a clue how to coach a kid like Dilly. Benching HIM for poor defense while playing AB and Onyenso who also couldn't guard a middle screen smells odd to me. And P.S.
Neither one of those guys could score 14 points if no one guarded them. Dilly COULD have made the difference in winning and losing that game in the last 5 minutes, but once again, we will never know because he hurt Cal's feelings over something.
Just because a player like Dilly has a few bad minutes doesn't mean that he won't turn it on at any minute and carry your team while making you forget about his weaknesses on defense.

Oh shut up. Dilly could have shot us into a 10 point victory yesterday. Just stop with "his defense is probably the worst" - no it isn't. Edwards played freaking 29 minutes. GTFO with that garbage.
You dudes are trying to create things that yesterday's game say weren't happening.
You are literally INSANE. Dilly is the best pro on this team. Bar NONE. You're NUTSO. Wacko.
Dilly was also abysmal yesterday. When the entire team is bad defensively and you stand out among that for your awfulness, yes, your ass deserves to be on the bench.
I never said he wasn't. Yesterday, in a piss poor defensive effort, he was the worst one.
Dear God, I hope you never coach a team at any level.
I have the same hope about you. You can't dissect a simple game that you just watched.
Is Mitchell already ruled out for the ole miss game?? May have tweaked that back jumping around in the 2nd half when Reed was putting on a show, still can’t believe he couldn’t dress and tr you give us 8-10 mins just to see what he could have done.
CAL’s agenda isn’t too put the players in the game too help win, it’s to play certain players to help them get to the league. Obviously Dilly is a lock lottery pick so he trying to get Edward’s and others some recognition maybe hit a game winner or help win a close game to make their case for the NBA brass.
Yeah I think CAL has no clue if he has a deep bench how to manage minutes and get his players in rhythm. I think that’s why so many past years we have such a short bench
Everything I've said is based on play from yesterday's game. The only thing you've done is pull a make believe scenario out of your ass.
Cal is SICK and TWISTED. This just about sums it up and not much more to say ... IMO.
RD0 is UKs best NBA prospect and talent on team. He plays 0 last 7 min of a close back an forth game. Putting all pressure on Reed n Reeves to score Reed brought it . Reed got tired at gsmes end due to failing back from carrying everyone. To Cal loss is likely on Reed for a bad pass rather thsn Zags scoring 10 straight to end gsme running exact identical scheme Cal made no adjustments.
There isn't a damn thing that Cal can do to get Edwards back into the draft conversation. Any one dumb enough to draft Edwards should be fired.
How many times did our other players stop Gonzaga at the end of the game? Should everyone be benched and try Canada, Hart etc. No one was stopping anyone.
My guess would be we didn’t need his offense. The offense was great. Don’t think he would have helped getting killed in the paint every possession down the floor. Cal coached a bad game, but don’t have any gripes for not playing Dillingham more. Offense was really good.
You do realize Reed for the most part is doing what Cal wants>>>>>>
I don't believe Reed is passing on open looks because of our nameless coach. He certainly isn't executing a plan that wants the ball going to Edwards with 2 seconds on the shot clock.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a team this bad at defense. 4 stops in 12 minutes. You would think they would be able to force 5 misses in the time. Everything is a layup though.
Just give it up.
You and Cal are the only two people in the world who didn't think Dilly should be in the game more than 4 minutes in the second half.
I guess the entire basketball world is wrong, and you and Cal are right.
Here is a fact. We lost a game we should have never lost with our best player on the bench. Fact.
Now disect that.
Here is a fact.
Gonzaga 48
Kentucky 35
with Dillingham in the game.
Kentucky 50
Gonzaga 41
with Dilly on the bench. You can't do simple math. You should give up on more than just sports.

No mine was a simple keyboard malfunction. Yours is a fundamental struggle to do simple math.
I can see Dilly getting minutes in the second half, but not with the team going with three (3) guards. Zags were huge in the front court and three guards cannot match up. Keep in mind that we went from 10 down to 5 up in the second half, so there plenty of good things happening, especially with Sheppard.

Agree with most, but seems you are discounting what Sheppard did in the second half. He carried the team on his shoulders the second half. But, yes, he needs to look to score a little more in first half.
I respect your access to statistics. Is it possible for you to tell us the plus/minus when Ugo and Edwards were in the game with either Burks or Thiero at the other frontline position?
Cal is a moron! At that time, there was basically one player that was playing well and his name is Reed. We definitely could have used Rob in there.
