.... who cares?I hate Calipari. Leaving starters in up 25 until 40 seconds left. Happy for Reeves, but **** Cal.

We are playing guys like Schmitt while they have Dillingham and Reeves doing a dunk contest?.... who cares?
Too subtle?-14 in 5 minutes played.
20 points on 8-11 shooting, 1-1 from 3. 15 rebounds.Great game by Foster!
Moving on, bring on Drake!
Maybe it was Reeves’ revenge game?We are playing guys like Schmitt while they have Dillingham and Reeves doing a dunk contest?
I’d rather make the threes, as well, but given how we offensive rebound it’s not the end of the world to jack them up. I haven’t seen statistics on this, but it would seem logical that the O-Reb % would be higher on threes due to unpredictable caroms, no?A big point loss AT Kentucky is not the end of the world. Except the 3 point shooting has to be better. At this point in the season if you are not hitting at least 35% you should not be shooting them. ISU needs to play 2 point ball if they cannot hit threes. I know the game has changed but if you cannot make them it is the same thing as a constant turnover. If ISU shooting percentage does not get better it is going to be another long season.
NBA Scouts were in attendance and took noteWe are playing guys like Schmitt while they have Dillingham and Reeves doing a dunk contest?
This is what I was alluding to earlier when talking about being more frustrated. I didn’t expect Pence to contribute Y1 and was told I was wrong about that going back to last year. While I didn’t think he would be ready, I did also think the tandem of Kasubke/Malachi would make it harder for Pence to see the floor. If you include Jordan Davis in that and make it a trio we potentially have the worst off-ball guards and wings in the MVC. Pondexter is 12/50 from 3. Kasubke is a walking foul who has only attempted 12 total shots inside the arc, while turning it over more than he’s assisting others. Jordan Davis looked lost for a month and a half. I get it’s easy to blame Lieb, but there are guys who we needed to have good years to be a really successful team who not only aren’t doing that, they’re worse than last year.Thought they played really well considering the opponent. I am also baffled by kasubke and to a lesser extent mal. Luke will show some great defense but then just disappears. I was really hoping moving mal off point would allow for a lot more shooting but just can not hit. Hoping we figure out this shooting soon.
Can not wait to see Myles against the better mvc teams. He played great all game but those first 10 minutes, he was a beast
Thanks. Auto correct…Kinziger.
Ok here goes nothing I guess. Yes as a team we’re a bad deep ball shooting team this year. Mal have been really bad at it, I agree. Shooting hand wrist still bothers him from the trip to the er after a practice after the 3rd game of the season, I also believe he broke a finger on his shooting hand a while back this year that wasn’t taken care of. To top it off he’s been playing with a bum right ankle as well. This is a perfect reason while only one of many I’m not to bash a kid competing. Some of us adults probably would take a day off from work because of minor injuries. I myself years ago broke three toes on my foot and didn’t miss a minute of work. No excuses ever for me for absolutely anything. I’m just saying fans react and speak when they’re clueless to the question why. There were no bench production last night against the No. 8 team in the country, one who like to play 100mph because of their athleticism, what did any of us really expect to happen. I thought going into this game we’d lose by 25/30 pts. I want surprised at the outcome. Quick question how many UK’s are in the Valley. Let me guess, none. The starters put up 65 of the teams 70 pts. The starters shot 47% from the field. Come on man get that consistently from them in the Valley and they will win more than they lose. More assists to only 8 turnovers, so what are the fan base really crying about. THIS WAS AGAINST KENTUCKY.This is what I was alluding to earlier when talking about being more frustrated.
