Game Thread: Wichita St./Kentucky

Well the part of the half I saw, it was a good one.

Andrew Harrison needs to understand his role, that being to protect the ball and get his team playing together...he is not doing that.

good game

Looks like a Florida fan started it. I only see one post from a uk fan.

Kentucky defense is horrible. They are flashing screens and turning around and giving the shockers layups.

No wonder Florida blew them out 3 times this year.

I am not impressed with the Harrison twins either....they make horrible mistakes.

You look at the 2 threes that rimmed out early and the bad turnovers Harrison had and Kentucky would actually be winning this.

To me, this game just demonstrates the weakness of the shockers

You blew them out 1 time. The first game and last game were close, the last one was a squeak out win by Florida.

UK is young and WSU has exploited that, they look like an unexperienced team right now depending on talent and adrenaline.

He needs to watch wilbekin and learn. He just stands there like a slug and passes,the ball....putting no pressure on the defense. That leads to turnovers on the pass....

They also need to play the ball through the post every time down...the shockers couldn't handle it but then they start letting the guards drive and shoot threes...??? Makes no sense.

That is calapari ball for you.

Agreed!


Guy is wondering around the perimeter with no real sense of purpose.

DRIVE-N-DISH.

My prediction stands and looks good. Wichita State by 20.

Kentucky is about to fold. They're damn lucky that half ended shortly after the posterization.

You obviously looked at the score board and didn't see the games. We were up 15-20 in all of them. Billy took out the starters and played the subs early which allowed them to come back.. The only game that was ever in question was the last one.

In fact, in the sec tourney billy admitted afterward he played walker and walker early and often trying to get them more experience since the top seed was almost certain....and he then admitted those subs didn't play well ll and it almost cost us.

So...I understand it is easy to look at a final score...but watching the game reveals a lot more.

You must have meant Kentucky, right? I know you have been shitting on WSU all year but clearly when watching this game you realize you were wrong, and are hopefully man enough to admit it. They play great team basketball, tough, physical, smart, and SKILLED.

That is correct. I was thinking kentucky would be better today, however they continue to turn the ball over and under utilize their inside strength.

Wichita State is the best college basketball team I've seen this season. There isn't a close 2nd.

Hahahaha. Guess you didn't watch Arizona at all during the 21-0 stretch. You are basing this off of a 6 point halftime lead over Kentucky? Cmon bro how drunk are you right now?

I think I saw Arizona play 3 times all season.

It's my opinion. No reason to be mad. Wichita State is just the better basketball team. They have to be. They have a LOT less talent than an Arizona or a Florida.

Yet ONLY up by 6 @ half. KY left a lot out there in the 1st halfer. Like their 2nd half chances here.

I will give you 2 games, but I watched the SEC Champ UK could of won that game, Florida was up for most of the game but the fact is it was tight at the end. It's a 40 minute game.

I will actually agree with you. FULL season is the key, they never had a rough stretch , but competition was not as good as well.

What?

Their best wins all year were st Louis and tenn. that was it. They played nobody.

And funny that everyone shits on Kentucky all year....and now Kentucky is a great team (keep in mind this is the same Kentucky team that lost to s Carolina late in the season which is the worst team in the bad sec right)

I will give them credit when they play a top team like Florida, Zona, mich st, etc and keep it close (I don't e en think they need to win...just keep it close).

But just because s carolina beats Kentucky I am not willing to say "oh now they are good...I will admit it"

So not willing to admit it here when uk is leaving them wide open.

I'm not saying the shockers will definitely win. Kentucky is much better than they were to start the year. But all those people who were saying the shockers were weak because of their schedule have to, after watching how well they play, eat their tongues

 

[Shanemansj13]

UK actually shot very well in 1st half

The sad part is this is a 4 pt game even with all the unforced uk errors and wide open defense
