Been starting those threads longer than you’ve been around here that’s for sure.
I disagree as I didn't think either Kentucky or Purdue looked all that good. We won but in my opinion we just sucked less that day than Purdue who shot horrible and their defense sucked. Tonight our defense sucked and we couldn't hit anything. Georgetown couldnt miss.
Yes, he was the tallest midget. Not exactly something deserving of an award.
This. We’ve got some issues. For all the supposed depth, I’m not sure a lot of those pieces are really usable yet.
Shooting is poor all around. Threes, twos, and even free throws. That's what concerned me most.
By no means do I think Pope should’ve played any player that was even a consideration of being out. This comment is about the effort and crappy play by those on the court.
I know we’re better shooters. CC couldn’t find the Kentucky River and we’ve seen him shoot way better.
I was shocked at Lowe’s injury. There was zero contact. I keep hearing he bumped OWEH but I’ve watched it several times and he didn’t. A no contact injury to your shoulder has you out 2 weeks?
Not in my eyes . He was equally as bad and maybe the worst of the bunch .
It looked to me like Oweh locked arms with Lowe and to keep him from getting the ball, then when Lowe went for the ball, it pulled his shoulder out. Basically a hook and hold shoulder injury, just horizontal instead of vertical.
It appeared to me that Lowe injured his shoulder as he braced for the fall to the floor ... I could be wrong, of course, but that is how I saw it.
People always say this. It CAN get worse. It's possible that Hawthorne's deficiencies are far worse than Noah and Kam's.
Way better? That’s inaccurate. He shot it good for like four games last yr. The rest of the year and what we’ve seen in the BW and two exhibitions he has shot horrid. I’m not sure he’s a very good shooter at all.
Nobody has verified the 22 million amount as far as I know and nobody knows what the other teams are spending so they Kentucky spend more than anybody just speculation
Chandler is very capable of being a two or three and it's done some very good things so far but forced to be a point guard that's not in his wheelhouse
I’m not sure if you all are trolls or have borderline personality disorder. Down three players, exhibition game, rotation configuring and we just played a good game against Purdue. The internet made ppl live in extremes and it sucks.
Exactly. I was hesitant with Chandler at the PG spot and last night just confirmed my feelings. He's just not fluid and relaxed enough at the moment. He seems best served splitting mins at the 2/3, not as the primary ball handler/facilitator. Chandler operates much better off the catch shooting and attacking the basket. (Much like a Jeff Sheppard)
I didn’t make excuses and yes we should always win at Rupp. Just saying everyone played bad but basically with a point guard we will be ok moving forward. We have no one that could or put forth the effort to contain there point guard. I also said in this thread and the before the Purdue game in the thread that every game matters. I’m not about to whine or give up on this team after one bad performance. Well I probably whined a little in the heat of battle.
I’m here to argue that it’s not such a smart thing and breeds more soft and injury prone guys going forward. In past years guys didn’t puss out for every little “hangnail” as you put it. Denzel had a “sore leg” ffs!!! Get tf out there and play ball! They’re being PAID VERY HANDSOMELY to do so! A sore leg should never be the cause to be in street clothes not helping your team avoid an embarrassing loss to an inferior team on your home court!
Exactly, imagine how 1998 team would have looked had Turner been out and Sheppard forced to run the show.
Yeah. Bull whip and cattle prods. Am I right? That bone is only sticking out in one place.
