Why not go back to the small ball we played at the start of the season? The line ups since the three bigs have returned has been terrible. Honestly my old ass could score on them..

Cal's heart and head isn't in his work anymore, and it shows. Compare the last 4 years to 2012-2017.

defense is Kentucky’s main problem and will be their downfall. Kentucky has played 23 games, and in 20 of those games they allowed over 70 points. 6 of those 20 games were losses. They flat out don’t play defense.

Our bigs are embarrassing and it won’t get better. They get dominated down low and they don’t like getting physical. Cal switches our lineups like crazy instead of playing the best lineup to win. He throws Edwards in the mix and he brings nothing to the table at all. Cal always feels sorry for these kids who are big recruits even though they kill us. Cal hasn’t changed anything since 2010 and cal won’t change ever.

To be honest what’s hurting Kentucky is the line up change we can’t play 2 bigs. Ever since our bigs came back we been bad. Plus for the ❤of God why are we resting our players this has cost us the last 3 years. Finally, this Rob thing is not the problem we played him the last 2 home games and lost.

Cal should be appointed head recruiter, give back 80% of his loot and bring in a young coach.

The " Huge Problem " is coach Cow ...

Dillingham only played 4 min the 2nd half, we only played Sheppard, reeves & Dillingham together for 1:30 the entire game. They scored 50 points n the paint, they scored 9 straight plays in a row. We can’t stop anyone on D. We’re not a lob team, that last play call was aweful.

Reed Sheppard, Rob Dillingham, and Antonio Reeves, three of the best three point shooters in the country, playing only 1 and a half minutes together on the court is criminal.

They prolly have the worst defensive rating when together on the court 😭😭 why would you put them all in when they haven’t gotten one stop

For the amount of money this guy is paid , I would expect more.

I think Gonzaga really benefited from Tre Mitchell being out tonight, Uk definitely needed his experience on the floor. Rob should have also had more minutes tonight. What was that about?

@@JusBellAndAri Kentucky ain’t win a Natty since AD was a 19. He’s 30 now. Let’s be serious

His coaching and play calling sucks in clutch moments. Look how Memphis choked against U mass, no championship since 2012, no sec championship in years, no final four in years. Went 31-0 against Wisconsin with a stacked roster

This team is through, you hear me

Calipari is just a horrible coach. Over the last 6 years has massively underperformed with the talent he has. Perineal 4th place in the regular season. Can't win the SEC tournament and early outs in the NCAA tournament. He is not a premier coach. Not by far

I love Rob too but he can't stay in front of his man and we needed stops. Rob not getting you stops. Go back and watch our games defense playsrob be confused out there

Honestly I think this team biggest problem is staying healthy, if you look at all they losses they missing important/key players they haven’t lost when the whole team healthy

Zag fan here, been a subscriber for a few years but somehow didn't realize you were a Kentucky fan. @2:16 That play was very puzzling to me as well, so I rewatched the replay a bunch of times to try to figure out what happened. I listened to Coach Cal's postgame and his answer to the question about that play at the end... Sheppard was supposed to kick it to Reeves flashing at the top of the key if the lob wasn't there... even the announcers said it was going to happen because they must have heard the huddle... but Reeves never went to the top of the key for some reason? But, I also don't get the play call in the first place - Sheppard already had 21 points that half, have him drive and attempt a shot against Hickman and, even if he misses, it will attract more attention from Gregg and give Thiero a better chance at another putback dunk from the weak side. Sheppard was lighting up on dribble drives against Hickman in the 2nd half and even better if you could get Nembhard to switch onto him. Even more weird though, the play would have worked if Justin Edwards hadn't given up on his screen on Gregg. Or if Onyenso had kept his screen on Gregg or re-screened Gregg. Two guys with one most important job of keeping Gregg away from the rim and it looks like they both thought the other one would take care of that. Re: Rob Dillingham... the biggest problem was Kentucky not having bigs that could defend Ike, Huff, or even Watson one on one in the post. Who do you take out to put in Rob Dillingham? Not Sheppard, he was on fire coming out of halftime when you were down 10 and roared to a 6 point lead. Not Reeves, he's your leading scorer and not having a bad game. That leaves 3 starters 6'8" or taller to pick from to replace with a 6'3" scorer in a game you end up scoring 85 points in, when you're leading country in PPG with 87. So I get when people say this team has "too much talent" because the best 4 players seem to be 3 guards and Tre Mitchell, who couldn't play. For what it's worth, in the Gonzaga postgame, Few and the players said they did their prep work assuming Tre Mitchell would play and be the biggest challenge as an "x-factor". I will say that Kentucky's defensive tactics at the start of the game were weirdly... non-sensical. One early play in particular stuck out as just completely wrong: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4iE3JaSfdrdmto.htmlsi=zkMB07FNfhpymAKe&t=121 Iso play for Watson, 3 on the perimeter vacate to the other side of the court so no one can sag down onto Watson's front as he backs down... Onyenso... doubles off of Ike in the post to try to trap Watson? That makes no sense. It just stuck out as something even the worst WCC teams would never do, certainly not in the first minute of the game as a Plan A. Zags did something similar against the Duke team with Zion first play out of half-time: kzread.info/dash/bejne/moGdx9qCmdmpZ9o.html The differences are important, though. Zion couldn't guard Hachimura one on one in the first half, Gonzaga knew Duke would come out of halftime trying to double him, the guards (who were much better 3 point threats than who we have this year) can go to Rui's side of the court and bait the double off of Clarke for the easy two. It was a clever trick play based on predicting halftime adjustments, and Barrett almost sniffed it out in time. But with the Kentucky version... even if you wanted to double off of Ike, which you shouldn't... there are 3 other people on Ike's side of the court that could switch off of Hickman (37% from 3), Gregg (34% from 3), or Nembhard (29% from 3). And then, in the post game, Calipari said they thought they could defend Gonzaga 1 on 1 in the post but should have trapped more... but this play was 1 minute into the game so it was clearly part of the gameplan to trap Watson and it failed miserably... @5:45 An underrated aspect of coaching is going back to the same thing if it's working and just doing the same thing again and again and making the other team try to deal with it. The Phil Jackson Lakers were especially ruthless about this.

They needed robs scoring and Cal played him 4 minutes in the second half. Smh. I know he isn't the best defender, but he is the best scorer, he was starting to get rolling and gets benched for defense. Its coaching, love cal and he has his reasons for doing things, but rob should have atleast been in the last few minutes.

They was suppose to let Rob and Dj go at that point guard

Kentucky should have put that ball in Rob hand.He is they best go to guys.And coach over recurting.If some of these players could do it over.They would not come there..

I tried to tell y’all 🤷🏾‍♂️

Cal had a bunch of good records during his first few years. And now, in his last 3-4 years??? Bad records! Time to say good bye if he doesn't make it to the Final Four. The odds of these players getting there this year with Cal coaching is highly unlikely.

I'm a big Kentucky Fan; Cal can't coach! Reed makes poor decisions at times but let Rob do it, Cal will take him out of the game.

Reed, Cunningham, Reeves. Should play the majority of the minutes Edwards hurts the time he's pentful worst Frontline I've ever seen at KY I don't know what to say about. To many players playing

This was a perfect loss to shit up all the dumbasses sayin we can just outscore our opponent then we won't need defense.

its time to start rob he been the best

Gonzaga Spokane wa 509 💯 😂

We needed a STOP!!!! Since when Dillingham getting us a stop??? He is a liability on defense, you need to go back and watch tape. God that's a poor statement, he not a liability? Anybody can go past him. Ok you mean? Third grader get by him.

Funny that you guys are now behind Alabama and Tennessee in BASKETBALL!!!! Y'all starting to look like Vanderbilt - just hanging out and collecting the conference money.

Rob is the best scorer in the country. The coach is clearly trying to dim the light on him. He’s forcing other players to carry the game in clutch situations while rob is benched. It’s sickening and disrespectful

He wants Reed Shepherd to get the light.

Dj Wagner is trash and better stay another year. He always try to play hero ball. Cal made promises to edwards and he’s going to keep them. Rob should’ve went to a different school he’s holding him back. At this point I hope rob just try to improve his draft stock because I doubt Kentucky make the tournament. I only watch for rob anyway

Dj is a slasher pg that adds a depth to the offense while also being the best guard at defense. He’s coming off a high ankle sprain + he didn’t play that much anyway. Even though it’s bad cmon are you dumb they obviously going to make the tournament…

The NBA could care less. They know the college game is overcoached, has zone defense and poor officiating, all nullifying talent. Family loves Cal and gave Cal all he had for his few months in Lexington. That's why top players come to Cal. Give me all you got. Make our best shot to win. Then go really get paid.

If most of this team comes back I can see another 2015 Kentucky type of team 🤷🏼‍♂️

@d.s.7637 What's more bandwagon than having this team as a Final Four pick to now booing them after a loss to Gonzaga? Typical of BBN. Ecstatic about the young, one and done system when there are titles and Final Fours yet appalled at not having experienced juniors, seniors and grad transfers when losses prior to Final Four occur. Primarily a fan base comprised of high school educated white men who live vicariously through the accomplishments of teenage boys. Your ad hominem attack on Z is prime example. Below the belt. Characterless. But unfortunately, it is typical.

It would probably help you not ad hominem attacks against an amateur basketball player just starting to play Division 1 basketball. Study for the ACT. Matriculate in Lexington at the University of Kentucky like Ashley Judd. I'm pulling for you.

It’s obvious that the NBA scouts told Reeds dad and cal that they need to see him on the ball. It just so happened DJ got hurt so it made it easier for Cal to put him on the ball. Reed can play but right now he’s a undersized SG. Cal and pops is trying to Rush him to the NBA. Only Rob and Reeves is ready. Politricks man. At this point Cal needs to give Rob the keys and get the hell out the way!! Rob will take them all the way but Cal has to realize he has A mega superstar, whose game is bigger than his ego and can save his job. Those other guys the McDonald’s all Americans need to come back all of them.

19 offensive rebounds.

They kept running pic & roll on big z’s slow ass, then they bullied Bradshaw down low. They were beating him before the ball ever went to the post with the positioning. We can’t stop anyone & it’s killing us. 9 possessions straight, they scored on, it’s ez when u get the ball that close to the basket!

I love cal, I love what he’s doing w the recruiting, I just think he’s killing us with the lineup carousel. He’s not letting our players get into any rhythem at all.
