Well, the calendar hasn't turned over to January just yet, but we are tipping off in our first conference matchup of the season against the Missouri Tigers.
MO is a surprisingly good ball team. They upset a top 10 ranked Illinois team last week by 22 points. Mizzu loves to run up and down the floor. We'll have to get out on the three point shooter quickly and get back on defense even faster!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 06:58 PM:
The game is being played in Columbia Missouri tongiht. It was announced earlier in the week as a sellout crowd. That's actually impressive since the students aren't back in school for another week and a half!

This is the 17th matchup between these two teams and KY leads the series 14-2

MO wins the tip
Ware with a big block
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:07 PM:
Sure wish he would start Reeves or CJ instead of Wheeler. The offense looked so much better with them. We will have 3 non shooters on the floor with Wallace and Livingston. Hope we get off to a good start at their place.

I think last game when it was Wallace, CJ, Reeves, Oscar, and Livingston we scored like 15 points in a 3 minute span. It was our best offensive lineup. Love to see that again.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:20 PM:
Got to make a move!!!

Nice floater
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:20 PM:
KY's scored 10 points in 7 minutes
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:20 PM:
If they are going to press we have to attack it to score. Wheeler could be very effective against it.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:20 PM:
Thats more like it!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:21 PM:
KY with a turnover and Wallace steals it right back
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:21 PM:
1/2 court is of course where we struggle. Right into stupid circle play and a turnover.

1-9 beyond ark! Ouch!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:24 PM:
Shooting 26% to their 53%. We've got to get hot or we could be blown out in the first half. Maybe try switching the defense a little to get them a little off balance. See alot of teams do that just to mix things up.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:24 PM:
KY shooting just 27% from the floor. Won't beat too many teams shooting like that!
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 12-28-2022, 07:24 PM:
Can't blame cal for the bad shooting
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:25 PM:
Our D has to take up the slack and get us some rebounds
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:25 PM:
KY's just 1-9 from three point land!
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 12-28-2022, 07:26 PM:
We've got to get some stops
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:26 PM:
It you aren't shooting your in trouble!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:26 PM:
Wow. Can't get a better look than that, and still miss.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:27 PM:
Good steal but miss the shot!

And then we give up a layup and foul. D has to be better

We are terrible on defense and we can't hit simple shots.

Oscar turns it over
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 12-28-2022, 07:30 PM:
We'll dig a big hole, mount a furious comeback that falls short. Something we've done all season.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:31 PM:
Look at how much we jam the lane up on our offense, and Oscar is not good out of a double team at all.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:31 PM:
Turn overs are hurting bad!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:32 PM:
Our standing around offense makes it real easy to double Oscar and not get punished for it. We really are just a mid-level SEC team.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:32 PM:
24-13, not good1
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:32 PM:
Oscar has to be able to finish those shots quicker.

No cutting, no solid picks, just stand.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:34 PM:
There was our patented out of bounds play. Great job Cal!! When are you ever going to see you need to run some actual out of bounds plays.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:34 PM:
They are just playing with more passion than we are!
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 12-28-2022, 07:35 PM:
Wheeler brings nothing to the table
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:35 PM:
Oscar has to start finishing those. He has missed so many and ones this year.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:35 PM:
Oscar fouled on another shot He'll shoot 2
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:35 PM:
We are at the line for 2!

This is so frustrating to watch
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:36 PM:
Fredrick injured on that last play one of his fingers probably dislocated!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:36 PM:
cat, everyone seems to play with more passion than us. I think part of it is we never have any idea of how to attack the other team, or what to expect. It's like Cal never spends any time prepping them for what the other team wants to do on offense or defense.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:37 PM:
Wallace has hit both of our three's so far!
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:37 PM:
We have to turn this game around and fast!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:38 PM:
I'm sorry, but this is all on Cal. I know we can't shoot the ball tonight, but it still all comes back to his coaching. Offense, defensive decisions, lack of OOB plays, etc. We just look lost on what to do so much. It's like they don't know what to do.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:38 PM:

It will be a miracle if we can be down by less than 10 at half.

See how they spread the floor, and come off a double staggered screen. What an idea.

Did anyone see them spread the floor, set a screen on the wing and then cut and back door cut? Wide open layup they missed. But it shows you can get good shots by moving and setting picks. Why do we not know that?
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:43 PM:
Finally a good finish with contact. Now make the FT.

Wallace called for his 2nd foul
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:44 PM:
When we chase out so high we just make it easy for them to get to the basket on a drive. And our help is not good as we don't rotate very well.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 07:44 PM:

Maybe try a little 3-2 against them since they are killing our man. You know Cal, try something to make them have to adjust instead of letting them feel so comfortable. You can get to the 3 point shooters in that D still.

42-30 at the half
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 07:59 PM:
What a terrible half. I don't expect Cal to make any adjustments per usual. We'll just come out with the same stuff and hope we make shots. Can still win this if we just make out shots, but it's all on the players. No help from the bench coming.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 07:59 PM:
That's the score at half time! 42-30 ouch!

KY shoots 36% from the floor but just 16% from three point land! Surprising to me that MO don't pack it back into a zone! Shut down the lane and make them hit the three!
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 08:01 PM:
Our defense not looking good either.
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 12-28-2022, 08:02 PM:
We will never be a winning team with wheeler playing. He's a defensive liability and offers nothing on offense
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:02 PM:
Patrick young just said about UK "Maybe they weren't prepared." We are never prepared for other teams. I think Cal has let his arrogance carry over to the team to where they think they are just going to win because.. Poor preparation, poor offensive plays, poor defensive schemes and adjustments. Just more of the same.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 08:03 PM:
Wallace leads KY with 10 points He sat out the final 5 minutes of the half with his 2nd foul!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:03 PM:
Wheeler should not play more than 20 minutes a game. The problem was Wallace getting in foul trouble. Who would you run at point? Could Reeves do it?
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 08:03 PM:
Florida 26 Auburn 23 at half time.
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 08:05 PM:
Wallace needs a huge second half and doesn't foul!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 08:05 PM:
Someone besides Oscar needs to step up and rebound the basketball!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:05 PM:
I would love to see us come out in a different defense to start. There is alot of value in mixing defenses. It keeps the other team from getting so comfortable, and the Tigers were definitely comfortable that half.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:06 PM:
Toppin needs to sit and put Onyensu in for him. Go to a little zone with him and Oscar down low. But if Toppin is going to play so poorly he needs to sit.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 08:07 PM:
KY had 8 turnovers in teh first half
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:07 PM:
What has happened to Collins? I guess he'll be our next transfer.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 08:10 PM:
Do you zone a team shooting 40+% from three point land?
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:12 PM:
You sure can. They're getting open looks by penetrating and kicking, or coming off screens. You can still get on the shooters to contest in a zone. My point is to try it in spurts as you let them get into such a rhythm against man, and did nothing different.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:14 PM:
Just saying to mix it in instead of running with the same thing every time. Especially when a team is so comfortable against your man defense. And with the length we could have on the floor we should be able to contest those shots.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 08:14 PM:
Oscar has only attempted 3 shots so far!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:15 PM:
I would also make sure to send at least 1-2 guys back on every shot so we don't continue to let them get out and run.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 08:15 PM:
My other concern is the average team doesn't rebound well out of a zone defense! We don't rebound the ball very well at all!
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 08:15 PM:
Here we go!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 08:16 PM:
Or we can just come out in man and let them drive to the basket for an and one to start. And get our best player on the bench.

Another game where Cal has been flat out-coached, and players outplayed. They've doubled Oscar with a plan, they taken away drives for the most part, and on offense they have spread us out and put us in screens and 1 on 1 situations. It's like they had a game plan or something.

KY trails by 21 and MO can't miss. Even late in a shot clock a 28' shot falls!

This team has no chance of making noise in the SEC or NCAA tournament. Embarrassing!
Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-28-2022, 09:13 PM:

Posted by Bigcatdaddy (Member # 21) on 12-28-2022, 09:21 PM:
I suppose it’s like many, but tonight I wonder if I’ll ever see UK win another national title in my lifetime.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 09:22 PM:
Oscar finishes with 23 points and 18 rebounds while Wallace has 19 points and 1 assist!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 09:22 PM:
Well, we only lost the 2nd half by 2, and we put up 45 points. Aren't those things fans of mediocre teams will focus on? Trying to learn how to do this.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 12-28-2022, 09:23 PM:
Sorry bigCat, as long as Cal is there it will be a no.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 09:23 PM:
Wheeler had 12 points and 8 assists
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-28-2022, 09:24 PM:
KY shot 46% from the floor and 35% from three point land But 62% from the FT line won't win ANY GAMES!
