They won't give us a call
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 07:30 PM:
KY already with 5 turnovers and 2 of them are charges. We don't win many games when Doug Shows is on the whistle. We'll have to overcome him too.

We still aren't getting any calls
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 07:38 PM:
Am &M rebounds made baskets then throws them out so they can run back on defense, there used to be a rule against that
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 07:42 PM:
Once again, should be a jump ball call foul on Shep

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 07:54 PM:
18-1 in 2nd chance points, and shooting 57% from 3 is absolutely ridiculous. They are like 300 in NCAA shooting 3's. They did this last time too, and we are getting called for everything. They are getting to the lane way too much which keys everything on offense for them. If we keep them in front they don't get all the calls and they don't get wide open 3's.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 07:55 PM:
Zone could help, but we'll never know cause Cal won't try anything new. It sure could help to give them something different to look at.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 07:55 PM:
Shep with 14 first half points
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 07:55 PM:
Surely, they can't keep making 3's like this?
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 07:56 PM:
We have also missed 4 layups this half. I sure would like to see the use big Z as an option for pick and pop.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 07:57 PM:
How many layups can you miss in a single game

12-7 on fouls
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 07:58 PM:
We gotta get a stop on this last possession.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 08:00 PM:
Terrible defensive half. Cal has to try something different on the defensive end. Too many fouls and too many wide open 3's off of drives to the lane.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 08:00 PM:
We have 15 points from starters and 27 bench points.
Shep with 14 Nand Dillingham with 11
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 08:03 PM:
We are not going to win this if we just plan on outscoring them. If we can hold them to upper 80's I think we win, but the defense has to be able to keep the ball in front of them.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 08:04 PM:
Maybe sag off the ball a little and see if they can hit 3's off the dribble instead of catch and shoot. That would help us keep the ball in front. They shot 27% for the season, and 50% tonight. Cal has to recognize this and make some sort of adjustment. Will he do something to adjust??
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 08:10 PM:
KY had 3 starters with 2 fouls on them.

Well, I see there are no adjustments from Cal for this half. He is seriously awful.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 08:53 PM:
I don't see how pros think these boys are ready for the next level. We can't guard the water bucket if you put wheels on it!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 08:55 PM:
We are playing a team that shoots 27% on 3's and get to the rim at will on us, and knocking down open 3's, and Cal decides to stick with tight man and just let them blow by us. Zone, maybe trap every ball screen. Try something to see if it might work! Sure as heck couldn't be worse.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 08:58 PM:
Absolutely ridiculous defense. Wade Taylor must be going to be a perennial NBA all-star the way he can score on our 1st round guards, and finish against our future NBA bigs.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 08:58 PM:
Good offense, can we get a stop!!

Cats trail by 6
Posted by Bama Cat (Member # 153) on 03-15-2024, 09:04 PM:
I* have turned it off with 6 min to go and down 16 pts. This is not one of those great games they have palyed this year. They have to outscore a team to beat them and we have NO DEFENSE. I went to Atlanta some years back and they lost the first game and we didn't go back for the rest of the games.
Now let's talk seeds. Instead of us challenging for a 2 seed we are probably back to a 4 or 5 seed, maybe. If we aren't careful we'll only play 1 more game next week and it will all be over.
Who do you think are3 not going to be the 1 and 5 seeds in the draft. I have never bought into that draft garbage anyway. Like I said before you sit back and enjoy the good games when they are shooting the lights out and just forget the days they can't make enough points to win.
This has to be the worst defensive team at UK since I started watching them in 1965.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 09:04 PM:
Why are we pressing??? We can't stop them so lets decide to give them more open court to blow by us. Down 6 we don't have to press if we get back and get some stops.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 09:05 PM:
Shep hasn't scored this half

Aggies hitting every circus shot they throw at the rim

Doug Shows is terrible
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 09:10 PM:
I can't tell you the last time we won a game Doug Shows called
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 09:10 PM:
Go ahead and give them the ball Doug!

A&M with only 6 turnovers tonight
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 09:13 PM:
KY fouled twice on last offensive possession, NO CALL!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 09:13 PM:
Ball game!! Unless there is a defensive miracle. Terrible defense. The worst I have ever seen at UK. As usual, bad coaching. Meaning no adjustments, don't try anything new to help the terrible defense, and just hope they miss shots and we outscore them. I'd love see what a coach who actually gets the most out of his talent could do with this team. I truly believe we should at worst be an average defensive team with some different defenses and coaching.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-15-2024, 09:17 PM:
Well, 5-6 seed here we come.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-15-2024, 09:18 PM:
Reeves fouls out with 13 points

A&M won't make it far in tournament because NCAA will call the forearm to the back on every offensive rebound
