What to Expect at the Champions Classic?
-
hitting our freethrows!
-
Nerves?
-
@approxinfinity no. He was actually TRYING to throw it to the dude in the 3rd row
-
Guess he forgot he could, you know, dribble
-
We are so amped. I look forward to some greater second half composure
-
What is this lineup man
-
There’s the defense
-
Nice block Parker!
-
I’m not worrying at this point, they are shooting well above average. The big knock on this UK team is their shooting or was lol
-
The kid didnt even know what Big Lebowski was. Give it a rest already Jay.
-
Not a well officiated game so far
-
@kjayhawks they aren’t turning it over either…and we are
-
Seems like Kev has four fouls, TBH
-
Triple team hunter seems to be working
-
This is fun
-
Getting excellent play out of nick
-
goal tending, but would have been three, so OK
-
this about to get really ugly
-
Really? Losing a FT rebound? Ack
-
So…. We have some raw freshman that we badly need time to develop, seems like.
-
This reminds me of the UNC game.
-
We had great effort early got got soft
-
21 point difference from behind the arc
They got shooters…their shots will still fall some second half
Bill better figure something out defensively at half
-
@wissox I hope you’re right and we just dominate second half
-
A glimmer of hope on defense last couple possessions
-
@approxinfinity my big knock on Bill is our freshman always struggle while uk’s and others come in playing on fire
Self’s system is so complex guys struggle to play freely instead they are thinking too much
-
That helps
-
Huge HUNTER!
-
7 points and Kentucky played their A+ half lets roll
-
No need to strut, Hunter, you suck on D
-
Big play there to end the half
-
@kuballin10 well he has the best winning percentage of any p5 coach in basketball since he took over at KU. So… they figure it out!
-
@kuballin10 Kentucky doesn’t really run anything. They just drive or Jack shots and then run to the rim. They are super athletes though so that can work. Especially if even the wild shots are falling.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Dillingham did but like cal said any of their guys can catch fire….watch out for Chicago native Reaves getting hot
Wagner will kill us on a drive too late
-
Lol @ Jay saying “they are doing what Cal wanted them to do, play instinctually” thats what he will want them to do the remainder of their time at UK as well.
-
@benshawks08 That’s why they’re winning. They’re playing basketball, not chess.
-
Well the Hunter experiment works well. They will attack us inside and they should but we will have to get some bench help.
-
@kuballin10 well guess we shouldn’t even come out if it’s already decided
-
We closed on a five - 0 run. okay.
-
Good to see Gary Woodland

@nuleafjhawk some for some warm milk since this one’s over man
-
@benshawks08 Bill said they are good individual scorers I.e- one on one nba ball
Uk is defending half our guys and half the court hence the turnovers
They guard They hit shots They don’t turn it over
The cats without some footers are no joke
-
Their strength coming in was their man to man defense. We gotta open up the inside.
-
No way mccullar can play any worse

Cal does so little with the talent he gets - -Always get’s all these supposed one and dones and what have they won- - not anymore National Champions then Bill has gotten . I’ll take Self any day anywhere anytime of Calipari
-
@FarmerJayhawk It ain’t decided but unless guys develop outside shots or ability to attack this may not be our night
Curious to see what Bill changed defensively
Last time in this building we were down around 7 to Miami…came out and won by 20! Self made 1-2 adjustments and their offense crippled
Let’s see it again I mean after all they are just freshman with no big game experience and that should mean EVERYTHING to who wins (sarcasm)

Think they are almost better off without the bigs? Have to play modern ball which has been an issue for Cal. Dillingham will be in the NBA soon lol.
Hoping next year we can be more athletic. Marko returning would be huge, Furph gets stronger, athletic class coming in.
-
I can take losing and learning, would just prefer winning. Either way, this is definitely valuable. Wonder if we wont see Jamari
-
I’m going to bed I’ll catch the 2nd half tomorrow
