***** KENTUCKY @ VANDY GAME THREAD *****

[katwest]

It looks like we are going to get behind big every game, there is nothing Pope can do about it. I know we have won 5 in a row but we can easily lose 5 in a row and this looks like the first of 5 losses in a row. Arkansas will probably have at least a 20 point lead on us throughout the game Saturday. What’s upsetting is Vandys two best players are out and they are still dogging us with a roster that consist of no name players for half the price.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Fast guards are a problem for us. And ya we are bigger but that doesn't matter if none of them can hit a shot.

A team w/any talent is a problem for Pope

 

[AJG-15]

Our guys are not committed to make hard cuts in in offense and pretend they’re closing in defense . It’s almost like they are playing let’s pretend.

either Pope is not doing a good job explaiNing and emphasizing concepts or these players are just limited.
they are doing simple and careless mistakes.

Was that really off us? Admittedly I didn’t review it but it kinda looked off them. I dunno. Whatever. Maybe don’t be 2 for 3,000,000 to start every game. That **** is getting old.

Sure thought it was off them

[blackcat714]

it was hilarious that people thought we would win this game and we wouldnt get blown out....

We just can’t hang with the Vanderbilts of the league

 

[KyCPA2000]

Kentucky is a first round exit

expecting anything else is mental

I agree with that. They could luck into 1 tournament win, but not expected.

 

[ala_kat2]

Vandy looks like they have an offense.
We look like we do not have one.

Vandy has shooters who make shots

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

I think I liked the Brandon Boston team more.

Oh hell man…idk…god I hated that team. But at least I had faith Cal would get it better next year.

 

[Macys Socks]

Time to turn it to Discovery Channel so these guys can come back.

No it wasn’t. But we wouldn’t do anything with it if we got it back anyway. Just no excuses can be made for this. It’s gone on far too long.

 

[TX Wildcat]

Half expected 00 to miss the dunk.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Idk if I’ve ever seen a UK team play in that Vandy gym and not look like they are having a anxiety attack

96 team went in there and beat wholesale ***

 

[TuesdayBoost]

Let’s go OWEH!!! Dunk that ****

He’s good for at least one break away dunk a game.

 

[GoBigBlue1224]

221 days until Football season.

 

[NociHTTP]

Get Moreno the **** out. I'm tired of Cauliflower Power waiting on his teammates to do something.

 

[OldfanofUK]

At Garrison's rate of progression, he will be old and in a nursing home by the age of 27

 

[AllBall]

Noah is NOT a good 3 point shooter lol

Josh Carrier practice mythological legend. Best shooter eva when there's no one guarding you and it doesn't matter.

 

[AJBlue]

UK looks like a middle school team! Panic everywhere. Has Mo ever worked on his jump shot?

He may be one of the 5 worst offensive players we’ve ever had.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

There's no way in hell we're winning at Arkansas Saturday. 14-8 is going to look comically clownish for a Kentucky team that started ranked in the top 10. And don't even get me started on the injuries. JQ was always a risk with his injuries. Kam played for Tulane last year. Lowe has always been a loser on the college level. Even if healthy, we're probably sitting at 17-5 at best after this Saturday.

 

[96Cats]

Getting hit by the ice storm is more enjoyable than watching this effort.

 

[TX Wildcat]

At Garrison's rate of progression, he will be old and in a nursing home by the age of 27

He cannot be brought back next season!

 

[NociHTTP]

We ain't winning this game

I bet you said that the previous games.

 

[TotheMoon88]

I’m not watching the game but sounds like we still suck ***. Down by 16 someone posted. Makes sense. I’m going to guess:

- we can’t hit threes
- we can’t get an open three
- we have missed 5 lay ups already
- we aren’t rebounding
- we are giving up open threes to everyone
- we have more turns that made shots
- mark is just standing there
- jasper has jacked contested/long threes
- jelly ain’t playing
- garrison has been in too many minutes
- we aren’t running any offense
- we have fouled the **** out of them

how close am I?

Don’t worry all that is part of the game plan, chess not checkers

 

[fisherscatfan]

In the 5 game winning streak, 4 were against poor teams and a Rick Barnes implosion. Every decent team has handled UK.

 

[mrjuk lostinspace]

We about to make a huge run…I can feel it

 

[wccat]

Not mad. Not frustrated, Not surprised. I believe the word is apathy because this is not Kentucky basketball but keep this up and it will be.

Pretty close.

 

[JustBlue]

I’ve seen enough. Vandy needs to win this game by 30 followed by Arkansas beating our *** by the same. I don’t want a year 3 of pope. He is not UK material nand this team is a reflection of that.

Pope is getting a 3rd year regardless if we miss the tournament. Has the injury excuse. Might as well get some wins because he is going to be here next year whether we like it or not.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

Is there any actual proof that Noah is a good shooter?

There’s not a big enough sample size to know if he’s good or bad. He’s 41% on what he’s actually shot, which is a low number.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

A team w/any talent is a problem for Pope

We have more talent than Vandy.

 

[Henogee1975]

Chandler is so weak

 

[NociHTTP]

******* Chandler. HTF do you go for rebounds with one hand?

 

[SteelerCat]

We're really weak with the ball.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

OMG CHANDLER

 

[Farsight Clone]

We have more talent than Vandy.

But Vandy is better coached

 

[TX Wildcat]

That sequence just told us all we need to know about our effort (or lack of) tonight,

 

[wccat]

Guess CC too worried about hat sales than playing basketball tonight.

 

[fisherscatfan]

We have more talent than Vandy.

Don’t disagree. We don’t at the HC though.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Pumpers have ignored that this team is a bubble team, we have beat up on the bottom of the SEC.
