@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:
I wonder if Kentucky will be better once Brooks comes back. Their issue is they lack a playmaker at guard. Clarke has not looked like a team player. Doesn’t seem like Boston and him can coexist.
Anyway I’m not upset at their record. Its enjoyable
Boston isn’t as good as he thinks he is and Askew just isn’t blueblood level.
-
@BeddieKU23 Of course I watched Louisville today play the Badgers. Here’s how bad it was for Louisville. With 9 minutes left Brad Davison made a 3 pointer and got fouled, made the FT. Those 4 points equalled Louisville’s total for the whole game through 11 minutes. Wisconsin had them doubled with 4 minutes left.
Chris Mack is a total jerk so administering a beatdown, even if they were depleted because of covid and injuries was totally satisfying.
It takes a little luster off our Kentucky win, but they’re 1-5 right now. We didn’t see it when we played them, so it’s a little surprising they’re a 1-5 team on the floor.

Kentucky about to move to 1-5. I am very much here for it.
Imagine the KU fan base if this happened. Good news is it’s so unlikely as long as Self is the coach. Weak 2020 class hurting Cal.
I’m not going to say unlikely because Self loves scheduling a lot of good teams and if KU gets hit with sanctions, what’s going on with Kentucky this year becomes a more realistic possibility.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games Thread:
Luckily for Kentucky they play in a weak SEC conference, so they’ll probably get some wins. They would have a losing record in the B12, B10, maybe ACC this season.
Yeah. Good to decent teams in the SEC… Tennessee, LSU, Florida, Arkansas and…Missouri? A lot of chaff.
Tennessee and Missouri have looked like the two best teams in the SEC this year and I’m bummed we didn’t get to play them this season because it would’ve been a really good and competitive game.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I was figuring if that happens Self would also likely get a show cause but that’s a fair assertion. All bets are off if KU gets totally hammered.
-
Baylor’s women have won back to back games by 93 points each.

guessing a transfer? - - Grad transfer ?- has to be right with Arizona/Kentucky both right ?
-
@jayballer67 yeah, he left Kentucky for Arizona and is now playing much better.

Cool. - - so he would be Grad then huh ?

Man the officiating is so bad this year. Illinois getting totally screwed at Rutgers. Rutgers has a good team. 10-3 foul count right now.

Calipari’s rotation this year
Center that averaged 13/9 in the ACC, two top 10 guards, 4* PG, 2 top 30 post recruits off the bench, 5th year SR PG…various other 4*s on the bench.
Self’s rotation this year
Fancy Walk-on, JUCO, unranked wing (best player too), ex MO STATE commit, 3* white boy from OP, Jalen, a PG that can’t shoot, Dave and Bryce.
One coach is 7-1 the other is 1-5.

@BShark I have less respect (already didn’t have a lot) for Calipari after posting about Fletcher on social media.
-
How bad of a team cancer has Fletcher been for Cal to publicly throw him under the bus. Say what you want about Cal, but he’s not someone that has the reputation of throwing his players under the bus unlike some other coaches we know. Because of that history, Fletcher has to have done a bunch of really dumb/bad stuff for Cal to throw him under the bus.

from what I was reading after their last game Fletcher made some kind of statement. - -Haven’t seen what he said or anything but must have been pretty bad , he went on twitter and apologized to the Big Blue Nation saying he was sorry. - -He played two minutes in the game , not sure if he was upset about playing time or what , may have made negative statement about other players or what.
They said he was visably upset towards the end of the game. Cal asked him to step away , not leave or anything although I think in the end he will probably transfer out - I am not sure how long he is to be away from the team , will be interesting to see how it plays out
-
That kid is as good as gone.
-
Cal said that Fletcher’s mom is in sync with Cal on this. Very odd situation.
-
@BeddieKU23 said in Non-KU Games Thread:

I think so - - maybe not such a bad thing for him
-
Wowowowow TERRIBLE flop by Texas Tech in their game tonight…drew the worst flagrant ever.

That’s kinda what I was alluding to with my general discussion post. Calipari totally slammed the guy publicly.

@BShark clever!
-
Well UK is 1-5 right now , they have 2 non Con games left - - Louisville & Texas - -will they win either one ? - -Even if they split they will be 2-6 going into the conference - they are in trouble lol
-
We’ve talked a lot about the poor officiating this season. Northwestern is trying to close out Indiana in Bloomington. They’re up 5 with the ball under a minute and the ref calls a carry. I mean it was, but when was the last time you saw a ref call a carry? It happens all of the time of course in the college game, but rarely call, but in crunch time, they call a carry. Unbelievable.
-
you know is it just me ? - -maybe it is , but has anyone else know or it sure seems like that the Media is almost just willing /begging Kentucky to pull through games - win games and get on any kind of roll do something positive , so they can talk again about what a GREAT program Kentucky is and what a GREAT coach Calipari is?- - almost just whimpering so bad for Kentucky - -about makes me sick
-
two things. - -One how in the hell is Louisville 5-1 ? - -Two - this is one UGLY UGLY game.
All the one on one - - forced , people just running over people / forced shots , ugly looking three’s - air balls - dam UGLY

Before they got beat down by Wisconsin, Louisville played powerhouses like Evansville, Prarie View A&M, SHU and WKU.

1-6 Kentucky

@BShark said in Non-KU Games Thread:
1-6 Kentucky
longest losing streak sine 1988 - -equals 32 years lmao. - - Thought for sure Louisville was gonna p - - - it away it shouldn’t of come down to the last shot Louisville up 7 then they went brain dead.
I wondered how Louisville was 5-1 or 6-1 whatever the hell it is - - now i know why - -you just told me lol
-
Kentucky just has NO shooters - -2pt & for sure 3 pt - - turn the ball over way to much - -horrible defense - they got REAL problems
-
@BShark watching UK fans want Cal fired is too good
-
@Kcmatt7 Imagine paying the buyout of a LIFETIME contract. I think they have to pay 7 years if you oust him.
-
@jayballer67 Can anyone explain why UK posters refer to Louisville as U6? Jayballer’s posts about other message boards convinced me to look at Cats Illustrated/Rupp Rafters. Pretty funny.

ya the UK fans in classic meltdown - -all kinds of bitching - -thinking time for Cal to go - -not making the NI
t - - thinking it could be a 6 win Season = =all kinds of goodies - -it’s like this all the time especially this year

Gonzaga with 74 on a UVA defense with 10 minutes left.
That Zags team is insanely good.
-
@Kcmatt7 I think UVA’s D is a little porous this year. But yeah.
-
LOL, I’m on a little road trip today driving through Kentucky. All decked out in KU gear by the way. So I find the postgame on the radio of Kentucky/Louisville. It’s a Kentucky broadcast. The announcer is interviewing a Kentucky player who missed a game tying shot. The announcer says in a paraphrase ‘you have a nice little fadeaway jumper but you don’t shoot it enough. Don’t you think you should shoot it more?’ The poor kid was speechless that some radio hack would ask him a question like that. I was laughing.
Also laughing as the thought of KU wins approaching Kentucky’s total. Not sure of the current tally but we’ve certainly narrowed the gap this year and will likely continue to do so.

Saw that Calipari was crying today, basically whining about how he had made a mistake by scheduling so many tough games. What do they have, 7 or 8 or 9 McDonald’s All-Americans and yet are 1-6?
-
@approxinfinity I didn’t know UVA could even play at a pace that would allow 100 points from a a single team.
Imagine a Wisconsin game allowing 100 points without it going to overtime.

what they have is a cluster f - - - that’s what they have. A bunch of one on one players that have a me , me , me , attitude and this is the result. - - They still have Texas , their fans think they will lose that one too - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I don’t think with six losses already (and I realize they were non-conference) that they will win their conference, let alone make the tournament.
-
@wissox Coming into this season, KU was 16 wins behind UK (2318 to 2302). KU will catch up, but it might be next year.
-
@Marco usually I would agree, but the SEC is one of the worst conferences.
