Kentucky vs. North Carolina: Game Thread

[DA#23]

Sending Keion out for the postgame presser is definitely wild. Not sure what it says specifically about Calipari and where he is regarding this team much less his time here, but it certainly points to the team's complete lack of toughness. He hasn't played this year and shouldn't be asked to do the postgame presser that others want to duck.

Pitiful.

WOW...this team is a disaster...where was Allen and Fletcher today.....who left the bench and went to the locker room

Was pretty much crying on the bench late in the game.

So Brooks gets sent out for the interview. Part of Cals psychological stuff. Or just psycho stuff. Who knows?

Said it earlier, will say it again. I don't think this team will win more than 10-12 games. Maybe not even that. On the plus side, they did play better today and was in the game when most people thought this was going to be a complete blowout. The issue remains that this team just isn't very good. Clarke looked terrible at the point. I honestly thought he might be able to handle it better there but it's almost like he's fighting it. That position is a massive problem as we all know.

Sarr probably fouled someone walking to the locker room after the game. Dude can't go a few possessions up/down the court without fouling. How was he All ACC? Is it that Cal is asking him to do something he normally didn't do? I think he's more of a face up player than a back to the basket player. I thought Cal did a decent job with throwing in a lot of screens and high screens today but the guys at the point just don't know how to attack it and guys like Askew are too slow to although he played a little better today.

Just going to be a long and at some point forgettable season. NOW - if all of these guys were coming back for sure (not Sarr/Mintz), then it wouldn't be as hard to swallow and you could look at improvements, etc. But Boston/Clarke will go to the NBA on potential alone. Allen & possibly another one will probably end up transferring.

There were quite a few stories leading up to the season about his attitude. To say they were unflattering would be putting it mildly.

The Brooks thing is beyond bizarre. Highly suggestive of what's happening in our locker room right now. We're falling apart inside and out.

What’s wild is for how much grief we gave Billy Gillispie, how we ridiculed his coaching ability and what an oaf he was off the court, his two teams didn’t look like this.

It might be better for UK to collapse right here. If they got it together and sort of scrapped out 10 or 12 wins it might not send enough of a message. We may need to be historically bad for some real soul searching to happen.

I agree. It's a strange thing to say I don't want them to win, but it's like you said: I don't want them, or Cal, to build just enough confidence to feel like this is minor.

This isn't minor.

That's what I'm hoping for honestly.

Will Fletcher and Allen make it through the season before they leave? Not sure what is going on but we have individuals playing not playing as a team but for themselves.

Well said DVZ. I don't have the answers but, then again, I'm not getting paid millions. ............

Just wait until they get spanked by the Cards next week-Yikes!!

Had to mute the tv as Cal screaming was to much for me. Truth is I was screaming too 😂.
