Kentucky

[skoda]

Vegas says -10?

Just win baby! Don't slow it down.. It is over baby in the 1st 1/2! 65 1/2 give the 5 1/2. Not my starting 5 but close enough like how UK showed Wallace moving to point and Wheeler to corner in some sets. 2-3 passes less dribble = more points!

This call stopped UK momentum lead would've been 11 changed to 6. Let's watch this official

Watch: Referee Doug Shows made one of the worst calls you’ll see this season tonight - Nation of Blue

Referee Doug Shows had a decent game at Rupp Arena tonight, but he also made one of the worst calls you’ll see this season. With Kentucky rolling in the first half, Shows broke all their momentum with an inexplicable foul call against Cason Wallace. Wallace clearly beat him man to the basket on...

unfortunate situation like MNF

Alabama Saturday early #'s

bama 3 1/2 and 151 we'll see......

Though Kentucky only won by three, it came out ready to play and looked more in sync from the jump.

Thank the scrimmage for that.

"I think our energy on the offensive end starts on the defensive end," said senior point guard Sahvir Wheeler, who had a game-high nine assists against the Tigers to go along with 11 points and six rebounds. "We were able to get some stops. We were able to make guys take some tough shots. Everyone knows we're at our best when we're out in transition — we're running, we're flying. Now you can see the poise, the pace. All right, now let's move it, let's move it. Let's get it side to side and get another good shot."

Name gets them maybe into tourney

Will 7 total SEC wins get em in. I’d safely say that’s their SEC O/U for wins and that’s if luck finds them….HOPE is maybe what they really need (SEC Shorts)?

 

[skoda]

Time to walk the talk Calipari! I forgot he has a lifetime contract with UK so he ain't going nowhere. High hopes coming in no explanation for what's not happening except Coach trying to find a rotation instead of staying with starting 5 for at least 1/2 of the 1st 1/2 with less dribbling 2-3 passes shoot the flipping ball! Practice Game Tomorrow Shoot the Flipping ball!!

Tennessee on Saturday 14th not Friday the 13th! Tennessee now has the No. 1 defense in the country!?!

Kentucky is 1-5 vs. Quad 1 and Quad 2 opponents.

Name gets them maybe into tourney maybe this is UK strategy to not play a 15th or 16th even a play-in game and stay longer in Houston this year.......

UK-18/132 Tuesday Home team wins maybe wishful thinking by 18 but if play over/over game and 1/2

I doubt Calipari will ever leave, he's got a gravy train in Kentucky

Kentucky could be without two of its starters tomorrow in Knoxville. While previewing tomorrow’s game vs. No. 5 Tennessee, associate to the head coach Bruiser Flint said that both Cason Wallace (back) and Jacob Toppin (shoulder) are “day-to-day” and questionable for Saturday.

Toppin exited the Alabama game in the second half with a right shoulder injury and did not play Tuesday night vs. South Carolina. The senior forward is currently averaging 10.9 points on 42.8% shooting and 20.8% from three to go along with 6.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 26.9 minutes per contest. Prior to the injury, he had worked his way into the starting lineup.

Wallace checked out of the South Carolina game nine minutes in, walking to the locker room and not returning. In the second half, Kentucky’s Twitter account said he had a lower back injury and was questionable to return. Following the 71-68 loss to the Gamecocks, John Calipari told reporters Wallace was suffering from back spasms, which Jack Pilgrim confirmed with a source have been an issue for Wallace this season.

13 1/2 and 134 1/2 give points and under Maybe this how it’ll be UnfortunatEtsy

This is how things play out w/o wheeler running wild! Hope some played them on ML ??? I didn't, think their scoring 80's is on its way back..... Kentucky played starting 5 for 1/2 of 1st half without substituting! Things will flow..... Another month and we will be all dancing 22-25 FT!

 

[skoda]

Georgia in town tomorrow.

Gotta stay with Hot Hand! Other side of Kentucky... Bengals got banged up out 3 Offensive Lineman... Going to be an interesting finish on both sides of the Ohio river..

From KSR sports..

It's hard to script a better bounce-back for Kentucky as the Wildcats went into Tennessee and defeated the No. 5-ranked Volunteers on Saturday. They did it without Sahvir Wheeler due to an injury — and The Athletic and CBS Sports’ Seth Davis offered a strong take about the impact of Wheeler’s Just prior to tip-off, Kentucky announced Wheeler would miss the game due to a shoulder injury. He’s been a key piece of the Wildcats offense this year, leading the SEC with 6.3 assists per game this season and averaging 9.1 points per contest. But Davis argued Kentucky’s offense might have looked better without Wheeler in the lineup, as evidenced by their 14 assists on 18 made field goals.

I don’t mean to sound harsh but the reality is that Kentucky looked more cohesive and efficient with Wheeler out of the lineup,” Davis said. “Played thru [Jacob] Toppin and [Cason] Wallace. It’s like when the backup QB comes in and sparks a streak. Gotta stay with the hot hand.”

over 63 1/2 and UK -5 1/2 1st half and over 135 1/2 game

Wheeler back tonight....

Kentucky looked more cohesive and efficient with Wheeler out and if they use him off the bench it will show again.

Fast Start... Build on lead and win for the Wildcats, JUST WIN BABY

 

[skoda]

Opposite 1st then expected at Rupp? UK not making shots at Home and Bulldogs hitting 55%?. Turn around those numbers in 2nd 1/2. over/over just win!


Here’s a look at the starting lineups that UK has used for all 18 games so far in the 2022-23 season.

Duquesne: Wallace, Fredrick, Livingston, Toppin, Ware.

Michigan State: Wallace, Fredrick, Livingston, Toppin, Ware.

South Carolina State: Sahvir Wheeler, Wallace, Fredrick, Toppin, Ware.

Gonzaga: Wheeler, Wallace, Fredrick, Toppin, Oscar Tshiebwe.

North Florida: Wheeler, Wallace, Antonio Reeves, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

Bellarmine: Wheeler, Wallace, Reeves, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

Michigan: Wheeler, Wallace, Reeves, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

Yale: Wheeler, Wallace, Reeves, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

UCLA: Wheeler, Wallace, Reeves, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

Florida A&M: Wheeler, Wallace, Livingston, Ware, Tshiebwe.

Missouri: Wheeler, Wallace, Livingston, Ware, Tshiebwe.

Louisville: Wheeler, Wallace, Livingston, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

LSU: Wheeler, Wallace, Livingston, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

Alabama: Wheeler, Wallace, Livingston, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

South Carolina: Wheeler, Wallace, Livingston, Collins, Tshiebwe.

Tennessee: Wallace, Fredrick, Livingston, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

Georgia: Wallace, Fredrick, Livingston, Toppin, Tshiebwe.

The Aggies play with a lot of physicality on defense, and in turn, foul a lot. This will slow the game down, but should also give Kentucky ample opportunities for points at the free throw line, but they must make them.

Beat the Zone Press

To do so, the Wildcats must get the ball to the middle of the floor. If Kentucky is successful in this against an extended defense, they could find open driving lanes, three-point opportunities on the wings, and even dump-ins to Tshiebwe.

Though it’s still to be determined what role Wheeler will play if Kentucky continues their sudden hot streak, at the bare minimum he’ll be exactly what the Wildcats need off the bench with quick scoring and energy in the fast break. 73-68 Home team according to Ken Pon.

5 1/2 142 1/2

Sign of March Madness..

Loyola Marymount halts Gonzaga's home winning streak at 76!

Just win baby!

Off the bench!
