Either Wheeler is still hurt or Calipari finally got the hint. Wheeler will not be starting tonight!
Starting 5
- Thread starter Ltbarnett25
- Start date
Looks like it's gonna be Wallace/Fredrick/Livingston/Toppin/Oscar.
Still think Reeves should be starting over Livingston
Yeah, I tend to agree with how well Reeves played against UT but I won't complain. Glad Wheeler is not starting and still hope we see Fredrick/Reeves together a lot.
Cal didn‘t want to start the lineup that wasn’t his idea lol
Cal will always choose size over strengths to a fault.
That said Livingston had his best game as a Cat v UT driving to the basket.
We need everyone going to have a chance in March.
Cal, something clearly works, let’s go back to a big lineup that will cause us offensive problems
Jack Pilgrim tweeted Wheeler and Collins are both available tonight.
Tshiebwe
Toppin
Reeves
Fredrick
Wallace
The senile old man will never get it.

Which means we will see Reeves first, and no Thiero.
Good lord this coach is the most know-it-all person in all of basketball.
Good Lord, man. Cal is exhausting. Start your best lineup, you stubborn prick!
Toppin hasn’t been as good as the preseason hype, but our options are honestly pretty limited at the 4. He doesn’t hurt us if he plays like he did on Saturday (8 rebounds, 5 assists, only took 5 shots). Livingston over Reeves is actually the gripe I have with this lineup.
Reeves is a much better shooter and opens the offense up more
I don't disagree on that. I'd rather he start. But, at least we're trending in the right direction in not starting Wheeler.
If Reeves plays a role like Darius Miller I’d be thrilled. Didn’t start but played a lot of minutes. He and Lamb were on the floor a lot, and often together in crunch time.
He has hurt us to many times. If we play anymore worth a dang he'll shot it 2-10 and get beat on cuts back doors as usual.
Cal being Cal he’s going to do what he wants to bottom line!
