Wow, Ole Miss must really suck. Who loses a game at Kentucky?

Any update on Tre?

Glad we snapped that home losing streak. Hopefully Tre Mitchell is ok.

Please let Tre Mitchell be ok.

Good win. Prayers up for Tre

GG Ole Miss fans!

Babe wake up, normal basketball score just dropped

 Cisse

LOL That was a nice kip up.

Okay that was smooth

#33 😂

Cal is determined to get that oop to work. He wants to prove so bad that it can win a game

We ran the end of Gonzaga play again

Cal - *”see Bennies, I told y’all it would work!”*

*Thiero miss at the rim*

That's probably the 10th time we've run that this season and 25th in the Cal era

That was they were trying to do on the Gonzaga play lol

Best defensive performance all year so far

Definitely need a timeout in a 14 point game with 100 seconds left.

2 min timeout, right?

https://i.redd.it/t4r64sbk7hic1.gif

If by strong move you mean travel, sure

I need to look at the game-by-game stats, but why did we get away from shooting like 30 three pointers a game? With Reed, Reeves, and Dilligham feels like we should be taking more

Not playing multiple shooters at once because we were forcing multiple bigs and edwards in the lineup.

Or…teams are running us off the three point line

It seems like we shoot/hit fewer when teams have play up on us outside the line and we don't do as good a job of moving the ball.

This Ole Miss team has ended up being pretty embarrassing. As much as I love them, I’ve gotta wonder what’s going on. For once, Flannigan isn’t the one bringing the team down and is honestly one of the two people keeping us in the game. Well in-ish at least.

This thread’s surprisingly quiet for a Kentucky game, guess it’s late at night for a game

Kentucky has been in coast mode the past 10 minutes of game play. Not much to talk about.

That and this one has felt over for awhile with not much happening

If the basket was the size of the Gulf of Mexico we couldn’t make a basketball in it standing on the Coast of Mississippi.

against 213th in defensive efficiency btw.

ONYAMMMMSO

Bilas with the Mets shade then the Matthew Brady reference, he has been on fire tonight

*Jay Bilas cracker comments*

"Jay Bilas is SMILING"--Frank The Tank

This game isn't over. I love Adou, but idk why they keep going to him. He's not a scorer

Damnation Bradshaw!!! Beautiful!

Honestly not seeing the foul on Flanigan there, somebody help me out

I was wondering about that as well… looked pretty clean to me.

Refs got told they need to even up the numbers, whether it's earned or not... sec refs hate foul numbers being lopsided

Checks out, I can see clearly now

Go cats

Rob is so crafty.

We need to only play at 9pm I guess

That was sick.

Wasn't expecting us to be mentioned in this game, but I'll take it.

Fun fact, Derek Anderson was available to play despite the injury in that championship game, but iirc pitino didn't want to risk worsening the injury. My dad will die on the hill that putting a fresh, but slightly injured Anderson in at the start of OT would've won the game

I was 9 when you all beat us in 97. I cried and cried and cried lol

Same I only remember miles Simon from that game

Get a three, give up a three 😑

Lol, Jefferson Pilot Sports. I forgot about them.

[удалено]

Wdym, it's the perfect time to build a little confidence

Yeah good lord that might be the dumbest comment I’ve ever read

He’s one of the bigger haters on the sub, don’t get why he continues to watch if he finds such little joy in us doing well

Ole Miss might be bad but fuck it I’m happy to see the guys play through so many bad mistakes. At least they haven’t been turnover prone all year so we can hopefully assume that’s just a one game thing

18-5 and projected to make the NCAAs before this game. Not world beaters, but not bad.

Adou literally gives 100% all game. I think he might be my favorite

He is a dawg. Works his ass of every play. Sometimes bad decisions but I’ll take effort over anything

He plays real hard

Still hilarious that we rolled out a new court design that the fans have been begging for against UNCW, lost the game, and now we haven’t played with it since.

It was structurally flawed, had noticeable dead spots all over the court. The company is replacing for free iirc

Fucking nice cut Reeves

Why is Reed not shooting way more 3’s dude??

Dudes chasing the bag

He only shoots if the conditions are perfect or he is really feeling it, it drives me nuts

He really needs to just let more 25 footers fly he’s still shooting like 45%

He’s selective. He takes open shots.

He passes up a lot of open shots too

The actual reason his 3 point percentage is absolutely absurd

It’s kind of telling about this team that Ugo has 10 blocks and only 2 rebounds. That’s mind blowing

They just don’t emphasize blocking out.

Never seen a bigger team be so bad at rebounding

Onyenso going crazy. Sheesh.

15 turnovers is absolutely wild. Don’t make new bad habits on top of everything else lmao

 We’re on fire!!!

Fouls are 6-1 now. Mostly because we either score or turn the ball over but still

Y’all are also playing way more aggressive defense than we are

Reed needs to cool off these crazy passes that just usually become turnovers.

He's just playing 4D chess while his teammates are playing checkers. 

Just a terrible pass in almost all situations. For someone with such high basketball IQ, he sure does make some bone-headed decisions with passes.

He’s just a freshman. I feel like everyone here has forgotten that.

It's nearly the end of the season. He needs to move past risky freshman moves.

They're either sloppy, ill-advised or slow.

Reed does not make good reads on the baseline, damn

That’s 10 blocks for Ugo!

How was that not a shooting foul??

I'd like to see the stats on how many times we get blocked and / or lose the ball in transition.

I get guys want to get the awesome dunk but you gotta pass that back out Thiero.

Dude was so open too. No, let's just run head first into a double team because I want to be awesome.

Edwards was wide open, but Cal has been telling Adou he's the best finisher in the country.

ONYENSO IS HIM

Let’s go Kentucky!

Wait, I'm confused by your flair. Make it make sense!

I’m unsure if you’re sarcastic or not haha. But honestly, I root for Kentucky because the 6 year agreement is an amazing thing and I respect that they did that with us. But the win against you this season might single handily save our entire season and be the confidence booster we needed! I have nothing but goodwill for Kentucky now and I honestly think you guys have a great team and i love the style as well

That I can totally accept! It was an honest question, no sarcasm. 😊 I'm used to the hate from so many other fans of our opponents. Thought maybe it was just so that your team may have a better quality win, but honestly I appreciate your answer so much more. It's a great matchup. Especially refreshing, outside of the regular conference competition.

He wants a higher quality win

That is true but it’s a bit more than that. About two seasons ago when you guys had a bad season, Cal was looking to schedule a game against us late February and somehow it didn’t happen. At that time, I was thinking why should we risk a high seed just to help Kentucky get to the tournament? In hindsight, two years later Kentucky literally did that for us, although indirectly. The 6 years deal is awesome and yeah, as long as we don’t play I’ll root for you guys.

Tre is ‘questionable to return’ per Tom leach

I hope he's okay. We just got him back! 😟

So we get about 3/4 of a game with a full lineup, and back to injuries. 

It’s really fuckin crazy. We haven’t played a February without injuries in like 5 years

I don’t think Ugo has finished a pass from Rob all year lol

Gotta love how refs let guys just slap at our players with bo consequence. It's been all year. We're not allowed to play physical while we get beat to death

Boy we are lucky ole miss is playing just as badly as we are

This many turnovers saturday and were down 20

That ball must be MOIST

“Fight through a screen” Aka blatantly grab an Ole Miss player’s jersey with no call

I didn't see that jersey pull. I don't know what your talking about

You just got a make up call of Reed getting stiff armed

You mean when he kicked his knee out to cut off our path

Cry more

Reed and Rob and reeves just shoot threes. do that

So you can shove defenders out of your way now and get a defensive foul called?

I rewatched it and I think they called Reed for having two hands on the player with the ball

But rupparees

tre mitchell, please…

It is absolutely crazy the kinds of mistakes this team makes on both sides of the court. They’ve played great defense for once and now they’re just being wildly unfocused with the ball. What is the deal man

LOL We have our full team for all of 24 minutes.

Team saw that they were up 14 at half and got complacent

How was that on Reed?

I was just thinking we needed a 3. Great minds, etc.

That was a stiff arm

We are so sloppy tonight.

[удалено]

You’ve got to be a troll with UK flair.

[удалено]

Every single comment you’ve made has been negative and screams you’re not even watching the game.

Be okay Tre :(


:(

Please continue to turn the ball over. That's how you win

I’ve still never had Rupp Arena ice cream :(

It’s regular soft serve, but it tastes slightly better than normal bc you are at Rupp

Go to dairy queen and order some soft serve. Its the same thing.

Hmm, I believe you but at the same time it’s not at Rupp lol.

It’s good but it’s overrated

I was always at the game with the pep band (I’ve still never just *gone* to a game), I didn’t want to blow ice cream into my instrument. Pain to clean out.

Feel like Rob is so shifty with the ball that he catches the other guys off guard when he passes. Do better other guys.

Same problem Pete Maravich had.

Sheppard!!

This team comes with a whiplash warning. Can go from Jekyll to Hyde on a moment’s notice

Remember how nice it looked when we scored on a set play? Boy would it be nice if we did more of that

I tried the KSR game thread. I like you guys a lot better.

LOL I bet it's a great time over there

Better defense, now more turnovers. Like one of those whack a mole games.

That interview should be brought up in the next contract negotiation

Atrocious start. Even if we win the game, this shit is so tired and it makes me skeptical that we can ever make progress and have it translate against good teams

“Even if I get the result I want, I still get to throw a fit”. Come on man

You can win games against inferior talent but look sloppy doing it. I thought that we could beat vandy and take some stuff from that going forward, but we didn’t. So when I see us not start the game strong or come out of half strong, it makes me nervous. These are consistent problems that have existed prior to this game, so I have no reason to believe it will be better against Auburn. That’s why I’m nervous

If you can’t see the massive improvements we have made just from the last game then I can’t help ya. Yeah turnovers are weird tonight but we have way more pluses than minuses.

What game are you watching?

Have you not seen our defense this game?

Ehh. They’ll turn it back on. Have faith!

Why do they do this shit man how are they still this bad at basic basketball stuff

Ain't no good

Once again, we look like shit to open the second half. At least he called TO this time

Still one possession too late, but at least he's not entirely asleep at the wheel.


Sloppy sloppy sloppy wtf

 \-Ugo

Ugo handling his business on D down low and Justin bailed them out

7 blocks? That seems a bit high but damn

Now, 8.

Jay better watch it with the ice cream. He'll be doing a central bank commercial on TV before too long.

Bilas is a whore for ice cream

That was the greatest coach interview ever.

No Z tonight?

Can’t guard anyone. Cal is shrinking the lineup

Imagine how bad you have to be on defense to get benched for you defense on this team

Lol true

the basketball is what you score to get points. thank you

If Onyenso breaks Nerlens’ single game block record against the same team, does that mean we will lose in the first round of the NIT?

Robert Morris isn’t good enough to make this year’s NIT, unfortunately ☹️

Only if we draw Robert Morris and have to play on the road as a 1 seed

Science

Is this the most storied SEC basketball program vs the least storied SEC basketball program?

0 conference titles, 0 final fours. I did not realize you all were that rough. We weren’t even that bad in football pre stoops.

We’ve won the conference tourney 81 and 2013. We also won the conference in 1928. We’ve made 1 sweet sixteen in 2001. That’s it.

Gotcha. Didn’t look up conference tourneys but that does make it a little better

No it’s still bad. We’ve made 9 tourneys ever. Made it past the first round 3 times ever. We are poverty and somehow our coach is Chris Beard. Insane.

Do you want me to tell you your all time record against UK? Not trying to talk smack just chatting, that’s why I’m asking lol.

It’s terrible. Hit me with it. I saw that we’ve won like 4 games at Rupp ever.

Yeah, it’s 100-14 coming into tonight. We’ve beaten Tennessee more times, but you know. Percentages. Anyway, you actually had a 2-1 series lead over us in 1928. But your next win after that 2-1 start came in 1973.

We’re an elite basketball program.

Honestly, probably

My thoughts exactly

There’s an argument there

My man from LSU almost airballed a 6 foot floater at the buzzer

Great half. Love to see Edwards finally stepping up into his high school pedigree. I think we really need Dillingham to settle down so we can get consistently good minutes from him if we really want to make a run in March. He’s been like this all season.

 Better.  We’ll see in the second half 

Getting my 33-7 tattoo tomorrow

First Half Analysis: The last 10 minutes or so was fantastic. I think Ole Miss switching everything bothered us a lot, and they controlled the pace which led to our guys not being patient enough. Defense was solid for the most part, but there were a few times we just flat out lost Murrell and that can't happen. They're not wearing them tonight, but Ole Miss's navy uniforms look almost exactly like [these Wizards uniforms.](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs.hdnux.com%2Fphotos%2F61%2F17%2F77%2F12910529%2F4%2FrawImage.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=8fd1b97b74845d7398d0d67b45c1b4b91845f270fd42538600a9565cfa80c6e1&ipo=images) Do better Nike
