You have to practice those last second possessions and obviously that hadn’t happened so why risk that, let your hot hand go make something happen.

Defensively what changes were made? Continually getting beat on the high screen and getting posted up seven or eight straight times? Zero changes were made, no zone looks, no trapping, nothing.

The last play of the game with the lob to Thierio would be the last possible thing you would do in that situation, has to be perfect with way to many things that could go wrong, Shep was the hottest man on the planet, why not let him go to the hole and take the shot or dish to someone else if needed? Because it would make sense and Cal doesn’t operate under those conditions.

When you stand and watch your team get beat on high ball screens and low post ups for 40 minutes and make absolutely no defensive changes then you 100% deserve to lose the game and that’s exactly what Cal did tonight, really feel sorry for the Ky players to be put in that situation, what could you be thinking as a head coach? This team hasn’t gotten one bit better since the beginning of the season, three straight home losses which is a record but could get worse. Another sad day for Ky basketball!

Take the entire game over Shep!!

Great win for Sayre!!

He didn’t have to do one single bit of coaching last night, couple guys got hot and they played street ball all night.

Two totally different defenses, the matchup zone requires you guard the first pass, then you matchup with every player to your left, leaving the farthest player away from the ball open, when switching, you are still in man principles.

Vandy is terrible, easy cover for the Cats.

Clemson played a very effective matchup zone that bothered Carolina most of the night, this would also be effective for the Cats but would be far underneath Cal’s personal ego!!

Cats will be perfectly fine with Shep and Dill, Z might even be allotted a few more minutes tonight, Cats win by 18

Ky should win by 20, but who knows!

There’s a bunch of teams out there that you could say the same about, just glad they got the W, hopefully they can grow a little and improve.

That is laughable, he is plenty athletic and his competitive instincts are second to none, Wagner is lacking in both of those things you mentioned.

That’s because he doesn’t have any answers for the problems on his own basketball team and nothing is going to change.

Very nice win, continue to improve.

Every single time.

Reed starting was a no brainer, and yes, it was the answer to more stability and less turnovers, wins haven’t came but Wagner definitely needs to come off the pine.

Made a couple shots and then disappeared, which was an improvement.

The coach is responsible for making dumb players understand!!

With nothing but a bunch of guards, this wasn’t exactly a tough move to make!

Quite evident that’s the case and should be addressed but once again we know that’s not going to happen, complete debacle by the administration and UK Athletic Director!!

When your head coach says he’s too good to change things for the good of his team, then very plain and simple he needs to go home!!!!!!
