JK WE GOOD

Marcus going through warmups..

Pre game is taped before. So it was said sometime earlier. Marcus might have convinced them otherwise

So - - - - - does that mean Harris starts at PG ?

Unclear

Well the announcers on KU - Brian Hanni and Gurley saying that 20 minutes ago - - Garett was a no go. - -Now they saying he is out in pre-game warm ups shooting Jumpers layups and such looking pretty good.

They said they don't know if it's for show not wanting to let Kentucky know he is out or - -maybe he decided to give it a go

Marcus looked off against St Joes, this explains it.

Well less than 100% Marcus is still not ideal.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Calamari Game Thread:

Well less than 100% Marcus is still not ideal.

Yeah like I said, this was impacting him in the St Joe game. Maybe he's slightly better now? Hard to say how far long into this (likely virus) he is.

Jalen is also starting again.

ya Self said it's not the Virus - - I kinda think it could be

I just mean any virus. If he had COVID there is no way he plays.

You lost, Duke. Give it up.

probably - just know having breathing problems is also one of the signs of COVID - - who knows

Michigan St showing us all how to not break a press.

Izzo showing us all how not to wear a mask

Good grief get this game over with. Nothing has happened for like 8 minutes

Is this real life? How hard is it to shoot free-throws?

College hoops is so much weirder than football without fans

MSU trying REALLY hard to choke this one...

Well, now MSU figuring out how to poop this one away

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

Well, now MSU figuring out how to poop this one away

lol

Marcus Garrett IS STARTING just announced

Luckily Duke is out of Timouts with .7 left, down by 6

Aw, I was really hoping Izzo would call those last two TOs he had. This game just wasn't long enough.

Go time.

Dukie V, barg.

Hey, gotta cut those octogenarian analysts some slack.

Okay let's gooo

Love zero downtime between the games!

Wow, try surviving a day watching with Walton and Vitale covering the games. I must just be a glutton for punishment.

@nwhawkfan I enjoy Walton...

Once or twice a year...

ugh

Daves still stupid af

Big Dave's opening tip ability is under appreciated though

Yeah but Walton was with the great Jason Benetti

Offensive struggle game.

Point blank terrible shot

CLANGA

Finally

what the hell, Jalen

Jalen needs to chill, his loves his trey too much.

Bad shots jalen

Ah rebounding

OCHAI BANGARANG

I'd be pissed if I was a Kentucky fan seeing all these great recruits every year, then they leave. I wish we had more champions but watching Graham, Mason, Perry, Doke, Dotson, Releford, etc develop and we get to know them is way better

Agbaji looks Selden jr yr smooth

Well, that's a rough play to give up.

put the new little point guard in, Bill

My God thats the dumbest turnover

Marcus playing about 70%

@BeddieKU23 Gifted them the lead good grief.

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Marcus playing about 70%

Is he injured?

@BShark

Brutal sequence

@msanchez

Hes sick

Fouls like that drive me nuts because players will go up in traffic and get slapped all over the place the and nothing gets called, then someone gets a tap on the way to the rim like Braun did and its a foul. Not saying it shouldn't have been called but that contact compared to most is paltry.

Udoka was fouled about 1 million times last season but since he was big and strong...

@BShark Exactly, although the way he shot FT's it was pretty much a wash anyways!

@wissox glad you're not flying solo tonight! Elevating this chat.

@DanR give it time, I'll drag it down to its usual depths!

What kind of rejection with body contact like that?

Uh, foul?

Lid on the rim

Omg timing on the arm tackle

Wow, that angle. Again compare Braun's foul to that crap.

Its just not worth playing Mitch

UK refs

Wow refs

Can we shoot some 2s until we warm up? Only Braun and Agbaji should shoot 3s. And I want to see some Harris :crossed_fingers: can't be handing the ball over at half court.

@approxinfinity I'm okay with Bryce threes as well. But yeah.

2 -12 from the field... More TOs than buckets...

These Kentucky freshmen are predictable.

Burlington what? Like what's their mascot?

Lovely shooting from this team

@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:

2 -12 from the field... More TOs than buckets...

Yeah, Kentucky has long NBA athletes at every spot, a lot harder than the first two opponents in that regard.

Richmond shredded this defense

Yeah, but the mighty Richmond Spiders were able to manage...

@approxinfinity Well, they played with a PG in the game.

Bill call timeout man. This group ain't cutting it

Good grief, Marcus.

PUT #3 in, coach!

@DCHawker We'd probably score if Bill put Harris in.

Maybe Marcus ought to try bounce pass once in a while.

That's on Enaruna

Tristan. Don't come back

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Tristan. Don't come back

Harsh

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

That's on Enaruna

Just watching..

@wissox

Zero effort. No box out

Flat as a pancake. I'm not saying for sure Harris is the answer at point, but it's time to find out.

This is just like the first 10 minutes of gonzaga....if Kentucky could shoot, we'd be down by 25 right now

Getting 72-40 flashbacks tbh.

Nice carry Boston

My God Dave please sit down

Just want Harris

Big Dave may have 9" vertical jump. I wonder who would lose a vertical jumping contest between him and dedric

The squid's strategy to challenge every entry pass is working well

Jalen Wilson would lose to both of them

@bmensch1 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Big Dave may have 9" vertical jump. I wonder who would lose a vertical jumping contest between him and dedric

I just slow mowed the carry. His palm was facing to the ceiling with a ball on top. Garrett moves out of the way because the guy has given up his dribble, and then he goes right down broadway to the hoop.

@bmensch1 dedric

@bmensch1

He just has the worst hands I've seen on a big here

I want the last 8 minutes of my life back.

2 -13 from the field. 7 TOs. UK isn't really forcing the TOs, we are just throwing the ball away or up at the basket.

Geez it's not that Kentucky is playing that well - -we just playing like crap

LOL

Why is Harris not playing yet?

Looks like they're panicking.

We'll hit about 5 threes and be up by half, but good lord this is hard to watch

Getting pressed and the only true pg on the roster isn’t even playing

@BeddieKU23 he's great at doing jumping jacks on the three point line playing "defense" i betcha hed be good at double dutch

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

Jalen Wilson would lose to both of them

@bmensch1 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Wilson has not played well. 2 bigs just meant we got dominated by better bigs.

Harris is in the game! Yeah!

I don't get worried til the last minute.

@bmensch1

Hes great at being a spazz thats about it

Oh boy.

what the hell is wrong with these guys - -I mean seriously

@jayballer67

Not that good I guess

Were only down 12....I'm pissed were down 12...but I'd probably be just as passed if we're only up 12 if the other team was playing this bad. I'm a bitter person I guess

Foster is not in uniform.

KU and KSU will be a barnburner....

Wilson is bad. Bad. Bad.

We need @dynamitehawk to yell "Hide yo kids"

here we go!

We need to slow down.

Count another one....thats 3 dunks this year!!!!

Nice steal & dunk! Let's take over the game!

Ha, did you hear Cal yell "TIMEOUT"?

I like this lineup

If we're going to play small, we better play fast

That's a steal from Harris.

I guess it depends what kind of weather Garrett is under.

I hope that's not covid.

Absolutely let's dictate tempo

Foster Grant in the game

Harris can really pressure either ball

Dave has to be -30 on the season

Why play him?

Either that was a great block or he got hammered.

Dave is so bad. So, so bad

Marcus shouldn't be playing. He will test positive tomorrow. Calling him a hero is stupid.

Quick run with 5 guards? Bill self ain’t having it. Put in a post.

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Dave is so bad. So, so bad

Losing faith. Real quick

@approxinfinity he's tested negative several times. Just a non covid bug

This game is so 2020

We brought the ymca squad tonight

well you can see we run into team with length/hght - -we in serious trouble

Wonder if it is weird to shoot in such a big gym especially when it is empty

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

We brought the ymca squad tonight

thought we wasn't vising adn trying to look like the Topeka YMCA anymore - - guess not

Mac is really showcasing his 5-inch vertical tonight.

@bmensch1 those tests aren't 100%. We just played two teams who have positives. In any other settings the person would be in quarantine.

But I'm game for pretending it isn't stupid for the remainder of this chat.

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

Marcus shouldn't be playing. He will test positive tomorrow. Calling him a hero is stupid.

This will go down as Marcus’ Diarrhea game.

mercy and Bill was talking about how he haad improved - - - REALLY? - -WHERE

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Calamari Game Thread:

Mac is really showcasing his 5-inch vertical tonight.

Off-season work paying off

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

well you can see we run into team with length/hght - -we in serious trouble

Or any talent whatsoever...I think that's the main issue now.

JUST A REALLY SAD SHOWING

Please stop running sets for Dave...

Bill may actually be his own worst enemy this year. It is a 100% guarantee he doesn’t give up on Dave.

When's the last time we failed to score 20 in a half?

Eye of da sumo and coffee cockburn

@wissox probably the TCU YMCA game

Dave just gave up 2 more can't guard

Wow so that's what a midrange game looks like. I thought you HAD to drive into the footers every time

Typical to give up a 3 to their last scholarship guy

So I guess we didn't get to see Dave make a FT

That's a really nice FT from Dave.

Ochai!!!!!

Why watch a free throw when you can watch a mummified 80 year old man from Brooklyn?

We needed those 3s!

Lorraine is at the wet bar drinking scotch from the bottle because of you Dick

Chai has a beautiful shot.

Every shot from now on should be a three or a dunk off a steal, IMO

Box out!

Why can't we go to a Zone - -make them prove they can hit from the outside

Well, heck, Wilson. That was nice

Jalen doesn't rebound either

That's what Wilson can hurt other team. He goes deep under the basket and can still score.

they had big Goose egg last game and only shooting 21.3 % from the three let them beat you outside

Would really like to get it under 10 going into the half

Has he scored 3pt yet?

Wilson, I meant.

@jayballer67 pretty sure they'd shred whatever kind of half assed zone we'd put out there at this point in the season

Well, we at least have more made FGs than TOs now...

@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:

Well, we at least have more made FGs than TOs now...

Very small glimmer of hope

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Would really like to get it under 10 going into the half

for as poor as we have played your right. If we could keep it under 10 - - 8 points I'd take that. - - Can't get much worse

Love the work Agbaji put in to correct his jumper

@jayballer67 I mean, yeah, but they have gotten whatever they want down low. Unfortunately stopping them down low with this personnel feels like a fantasy.

Popovich was on the KU bench one of those years too.

Nice D!

How does a team have a shot clock violation....with zero fans???? Doesn't an assistant coach say something?

Really, the D is decent. Driving against unibrow II is not working

Even though we've had a little success in the lane lately, we're not going to win by trying to pound it inside against their bigs.

Wow, a very nice jump shot by Marc.

We are only down 8 and been completely outplayed. We got this

Look at that assist!

4 dunks!!!!!!

Hell to the yes, Braun

T for that? Whatever

How can that be a T?

Wow pass by harris

That's a cheap T in my view.

Harris for starting point guard. We need him

F these refs

Oh, so they're just going to let him fall on his head? What a cheap call.

@msanchez It was for mouthing at the UK guy

Can anyone make a damn FT?

Braun rebound!

3-6 FT's so far.

Ochai, you gotta shoot that or drive to the hole

Ochai still does that effing 1 handed pass. I hate that. So careless

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

Ochai, you gotta shoot that or drive to the hole

Or just dunk it.

Why are they shooting? We've committed 6 fouls

One of the worst first 15 minutes of a game possible and down 5.. Kentucky really isn't good

Good idea to take braun out there at the end of the half. ??

@wissox Scoreboard was incorrect, 7 fouls

I'm ready for 5 guards the whole way this season. I'd rather watch a fun team that competes even if we give up size.

Harris only player with a positive +/- atm

Gotta love your point guard completely ruining any shot of a good shot

I'm tell ya for as p - - - poor as we played in the 1st half to be down only 6 - - you have to be happy with that

Just enough D to make it a game. We better hope UK keeps missing.

I feel better at least we're still in the game. A couple of 3s, we're back in again.

Impressive social distancing between Holly and Cal

Harris is +23 on the floor so far in only 28 minutes so far this season

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

One of the worst first 15 minutes of a game possible and down 5.. Kentucky really isn't good

your right , and that's what's sad - -if we played even close to like what we played Gonzaga we would be up by around 10

Marcus Garrett is NOT A POINT GUARD! Stop having the guy at the top of the key. Enough already. He is not a playmaker and never will be.

Marcus isn't a great ball handler. I don't think that's going to change.

Cal sounds like he'd rather be interviewed than coach his team.

Self always has blind spots for certain guys and Marcus is another one. I love his d too but he is a liability on offense. Sick or not

Harris needs to play 35 minutes a game. Garrett should too, but just off the ball

Think things gonna be a little warm in the locker room ?

Also the weave worked great with two stud ball handlers like Devonte and Frank. It does not work with guys like Marcus, Braun, and Abagji.

I don't understand why Braun is so bad at the line. He isn't a bad shooter. Nerves?

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

I don't understand why Braun is so bad at the line. He isn't a bad shooter. Nerves?

Me either. ON a couple he looked like he was leaning back.

Braun may be a better handler than Marcus. Also Thompson.

now we work in 4 minute sections -get it down to 3-4 at least by the 1st TV timeout -- or just come out and stomp their ass right from the get go to start the 2nd half

Of course a lot of our come back was with Sarr on the bench with 2 fouls. - got to keep David on the bench and take our chances

I'd love to see more back cuts and screen the screener stuff. Get the young inexperienced cats over committing on d.

@jayballer67 yes pls. I don't want to start the second with Dave on and drop about 6-10 pts

Did anyone else lose the Audio on the game with ESPN ? - thought it might be my TV - - but volume works on alliother stations just the ESPN game

Didn't lose audio here.

@approxinfinity Self will run the O through him again....LOL

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

@jayballer67 yes pls. I don't want to start the second with Dave on and drop about 6-10 pts

we can not afford him - -not atjhletic enough - -get's besat on defense -- not sure where the hell his jumping ability is - -he looks like he has cement in his shoes

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

Didn't lose audio here.

hmmm, not sure - -I sure lost it - -like I said no audio -but got it on all other

Is this vitals 7th year at Baylor?

of course not ALL McCormack -- Wilson looks like crap tonight - - well can't say a lot about hardly anyone. - -Garet has turned it over quit a bit but offensively battling scored some fighting that sickness

Apparently the team is 6-15 on lay-ups. Awful.

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

Is this vitals 7th year at Baylor?

seems like it - -they always gave us hell about Ellis

@BShark Fearing getting blocked.

Harris / Marcus / Braun / Agbaji / Wilson please.

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

Harris / Marcus / Braun / Agbaji / Wilson please.

THIS!

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

UK lenghts do seem bothering them.

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

Yeah I'd ride or die with this. The team just plays better with Harris in the game, period.

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

Apparently the team is 6-15 on lay-ups. Awful.

On que to pass the 10 missed against Gonzaga. Self has never taught a pump fake

@msanchez Yeah, UK has NBA length and athleticism all over the floor. Not going to beat guys one on one, have to play as a team.

TGF was only in for 2 minutes....maybe. did he eff up and I miss it or was it just a case of sit yo butt down juco boy...you aren't ready for the big time. I like that kid. Reminds me of 2017 lagerald vick. By far my favorite vick.

Cal is from Moon Township PA. My mom grew up in Mars, PA, both near Pittsburgh. My dad got sent to an army base in Moon Township during Korea and met my mom. Newspaper headline should have read Moon man marries Mars Woman.

Jackson should have went to MSU. :(

@bmensch1

Didn't notice him doing anything that terrible. Looks hobbled still too

Dave starting second half of course...

He's hurt, noticeably so. Self talked about it preseason. He was really labouring against St Joes.

We’re better than them. Let’s do this.

OOOOOOOOOO bench points

@FarmerJayhawk said in Calamari Game Thread:

We’re better than them. Let’s do this.

Gotta actually make buckets, and play Harris.

Sarr will be back otherwise I would say Thompson instead of Wilson. Front everything. If he gets the ball, rip or foul. Try to foul him up on the other end. They can't shoot FTs. Let's focus on dictating the rest of the game, win or lose

31% won't get it done..

@approxinfinity Agree. Make em hit fts.

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

31% won't get it done..

Yupppp

Dave on the court...when he comes off were down 12 and he'll have 2 more fouls

Whatever ref

They just T-d someone up, I think Marcus

Why is McCormick playing to start the second half!

@bmensch1 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Dave on the court...when he comes off were down 12 and he'll have 2 more fouls

A few missed shots and turnovers too

Without the 2 technical fouls, we'd be down just 4...

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

They just T-d someone up, I think Marcus

Bill actually.

Wow f these guys

Yep sure make an ugly deep 2

Imagine having Dave post up on Sarr...

Dave gets blocked by the side board. Awesome job kid

Wilson is a poor shooter so far

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Wow f these guys

Double F these refess

Stop feeding Dave!

That was bull, but wilson is about useless tonight

well so much for cutting into the lead

@BigBad said in Calamari Game Thread:

Stop feeding Dave!

I don't get this approach...

Dave throws a randy Johnson pass for no reason.

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Wilson is a poor shooter so far

Yeah, he has some room to improve. He plays hard and overall I like him.

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

@BigBad said in Calamari Game Thread:

Sure you do. Its all self

Dave is supposed to be the strongest on the floor, right?

Can Wilson dunk?

Nice blockout figuring it out

@msanchez No

@msanchez said in Calamari Game Thread:

Can Wilson dunk?

Only on an 8' rim

Nice drive

LOL

Even Paul Pierce would have dunked that Jalen.

Good box out

can we get Dave OUT please

There we go. Got 3rd on sarr. Now go 5 guards.

Feeding Dave again btw...

Why a hook jumper?

I'm sorry. This is the worst post player we've ever had start

see Kentucky 1-10 on 3's - -big goose egg last game - - -try the zone dam

Nice D Braun

wtf Marcus

@msanchez because he has no other post moves

That would've been an oop if it was Harris.

1-20 on 3's

Give up on the lobs to Dave tonight

Will we get to 40?

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

I'm sorry. This is the worst post player we've ever had start

How are we even in this game

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Dave is 1-6 this game after sterling back to back 33% games. Has to be one of the least efficient low post scorers in the history of KU basketball...

That's a big problem. He seems to fall in love with that hook shot.

Best throw shooter

At least Dave can shoot FTs @Kcmatt7 because we are playing nice defense

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

How are we even in this game

Kentucky sucks on offense, but is just crazy athletic and long which gets you far against a team that doesn't have an offensive identity yet.

That's a good D at least.

@BShark like always, great athletes weak coaching🤣

Way to D him up Marcus! Great Defense is beautiful!!!

Great job Marcus.

We should be down 30 in this game. Its almost comical when we come back and win

Got a nice Pic of Calamari with his mask down.

Marcus is good for a few of those every game

Well we took off 1 point - - so we are closer. -- if we could just hell hit 40 % we would be aheaad - but we just throwing up wild junk - -kentucky can not hit jumpers - -they were this way last game out to and Richmond blistered their blue ass

LOLLL

Think about Dave going against Doke in practice for years and all he learned was a jump hook? Did he learn no other moves to get his shot off?

He can hit 15 footer right?

@msanchez nothing like being good at the worst shot in basketball

Somehow we are out rebounding this team by 7. That's actually how we're still in the game.

@BigBad said in Calamari Game Thread:

you have to be able to get off your feet to have a shot

Wasn't Dave an all McD?

If Dave is our high scorer we might be competitive in baseball

@wissox by 2 from what I’m looking at

@msanchez said in Calamari Game Thread:

Correction....he can shoot a 15 footer...wide open, he'll make it 30% of the time.

@BigBad said in Calamari Game Thread:

Apparently not - he is 6-21 from the field so far this year. To go along with zero blocks. Make that zero shots he has blocked. He's been blocked about a dozen times...

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

Unreal

Oh yep 7

Nice turn around putback!

@Kcmatt7 ESPN box has it at 7

JALEN HUSTLE

9 blocks lol

Wilson has stepped up since I last called him a halfwit

how many times is Mccormack gonna be blocked

You can tell Wilson is not confident with his shots.

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

how many times is Mccormack gonna be blocked

as many times as he shoots, my friend

Braun is non existent today

Dave seems panicking.

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

He will be a stud before it's over.

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

HAVE TO MAKE THAT ONE.

How can he miss that?

HARRIS!!!!
Play maker

Dave just missed point blank non-dunk. Now 1-7...

HAHAHAHAHA. Dave you plain Suck

Braun rebounding at least.

Wilson is brick city at the line

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

HAHAHAHAHA. Dave you plain Suck

With Harris on the floor, that -u-- might become -i--.

Self teams always leave something to be desired at the line

GREAT STOP

Kentucky fouls like crazy.

HAHAHA. What did he fall on a banana

@BShark Yeah, Wilson has already won me over. His first year, gotta remember that

Wilson is ballin!!

I like Wilson's no fear spinning and driving.

Dam Wilson has 10 rebounds

Damn nice move by Wilson

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Dam Wilson has 10 rebounds

Yeah he is tough as hell.

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Dam Wilson has 10 rebounds

5x as many as Dave...

I have no clue why a coach of Self's caliber can't teach better FT shooting.

Is Dave spastic because he used to need more force to move around his body?

Jalen already has ALL AMERICAN effort.

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

I have no clue why a coach of Self's caliber can't teach better FT shooting.

Yea someone explain how Dave only has 2 rebounds in 16 minutes in this brickfest

Well at the time of this writing....there were 378 comments. 342 of them I think clearly presents the evidence. Prosecution rests.

Wilson + Braun = 19 boards

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Luck that he got 2

Jalen is legit our best C

Kentucky has 3 points this half with this roster wtf.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Calamari Game Thread:

Jalen is legit our best C

Honestly not close.

How the hell we within ONE I'll never know - - wait yes i do - - Kentucky playing just as crappy - well we have cut more now from 5 points to 1 point - -Ugly Ugly ball

@tundrahok said in Calamari Game Thread:

Wilson + Braun = 19 boards

Wow. That shows efforts. They'll earn more minutes for sure.

Braun and Wilson are the FT culprits tonight. I liked seeing Cal run out there. Walton, yes, fun to listen to

@bmensch1 how many boards does Wilson have?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Calamari Game Thread:

@bmensch1 how many boards does Wilson have?

10

Dave 1-8 with 2 rebounds....EEEEK
On the good side he is 4-4 at the line

@wissox

Yep 4 misses between them

@BeddieKU23 I've got 6 misses between them

Cal, coach at practice or half

@wissox

Your right i tried to black out a few of their bricks

Let's lead, for good!!!

Were going to be in double bonus with 10 minutes left

I was told Dave would do better and that Gonzaga’s front court was sooo good Dave would play better and we wouldn’t see a better front couet

Smart to take it into the big guy, braun

Harris needs to start period.

UK seems lost against our D in 2nd.

Good Push CB

Keep drawing those fouls boys. Oh yeah, and make some FTs.

@DanR high bb iq

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Is that Milton from Office space? I'm going to burn the building down.

Sarr is +9 in 11 minutes.

Tough to keep a lead at a time like this. Got to focus.

F cheap call again.

The thing about Harris is he is a GAMER. He isn't the best in practice, kinda quiet. Game lights go on and: !alt text ↗

ALL BALL

UK bailed out by the refs again and again

@BShark He was sick, right?

We aren't giving this lead up if we score next.

WILSON!

Enaruna?

Pretty!

Quick? First step?

SO JALEN WILSON

Muzzle that!

Big time move jalen

Wilson has 3 fouls he's going to have to be smart. Don't want him playing tentatively.

Well so much for me talking smack on Jalen - - 10 points - - 10 rebounds - - Braun 10 rebounds

Wilson may have no vertical but his horizontal speed is legit

@msanchez sitting after that fail to block out the ft shooter

@msanchez said in Calamari Game Thread:

Enaruna?

Enaruna is CJ Giles. All the physical talents in the world....capable...just doesn't give an eff bomb

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Quick? First step?

A loooong leap, too.

CB, Ochai and Harris have amazing chemistry. Makes sense, they've been playing together for many years.

@BShark Harris just seems to be a high basketball IQ guy. I wish guys got more enamored with that skill and shooting. Forget about all the athletic crap.

Reminds me of the chemistry Graham and Svi had their SR year.

Self has completely cut out Bryce today

Enaruna is Dutch where weed is legal and he plays like he's on a trip.

Sarr with 4 fouls sure doesn't hurt

I still like enaruna, not giving up on him

27% from the field. 15% from 3. 65% FTs - and we lead......

@DCHawker boards!?

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Had to, he can't be played in this game. It's not a Bryce issue, he just isn't there yet.

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

ya he hasn't given him much of a chance tonight

@Crimsonorblue22 You always liked the pot smokers.!!! JK

Dick when he still had hair on the sides

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Calamari Game Thread:

You can tell he's no Josh or Cliff. But he's all about efforts and makes the most out of his minutes.

Actually up by 10 on the glass!

I was thinking Bragg. But he can shoot the 3. He just seems slow/too big this year.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Bryce looks slower against UK fresmen.

Enaruna still just looks a little lost out there. Hoping he doesn’t transfer because I think he can be a dude next season

Jalen is really showing out. Remember when the rap on him is he was just a shooter lmao

Braun!

Kentucky is playing like us in the first half, LOL

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

Worse.. 3 pts in 10 min.

Geez, zags, Kentucky!

Can't change your pivot foot Ochai.

Hanni and Gurley talking about Harris being a culprit to this run - -he quick

Love Harris!

Man ochai be aggressive

F dunk it Wilson. Nice steal again by Harris!

Wilson faked going up for the dunk and drew the foul!

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

Can't change your pivot foot Ochai.

I think he changed it a few times on that possession.... ;)

Ku should be down by 30....but I can also argue ku should be up 10. I'm Barbara Walter's and this is 2020.

HARRIS

dam we up 4

Iowa SUCKS

@FarmerJayhawk said in Calamari Game Thread:

Jalen is really showing out. Remember when the rap on him is he was just a shooter lmao

Ironically the one thing he really isn't good at. Last year he was kinda pudgy, so it does seem likely he was mostly just getting by in HS.

That's arms straight up, refs! WTF?

Another cheapie foul

That's a crap call

Really not tough to see our best 5 on the floor

These 5 forever. Maybe Bill is getting warm to the idea.

4 on wilson

OUch.

@approxinfinity said in Calamari Game Thread:

These 5 forever. Maybe Bill is getting warm to the idea.

In big games and moments yes.

Straight up. What a joke.

Let's blow this F'er open and seal the deal.

Wilson just took himself out so Dave can f the game up

Dave can't do anything right

announcers didn't notice our best player tonight just got his 4th foul.

@bmensch1 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Its so sad

Harris makes plays.

@wissox yakking away

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Where's the 3s when we need 'em?

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

I also missed that.

Funny that Wilson thought he was coming to KU to play point and he's going to end up being the center for a year

Jeez Agbaji take your time!

holy crap - 2-15 from the 3

We get the lead. McCormick comes in and blows an easy board. Why self

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Jeez Agbaji take your time!

Damn, he's been making those too. Nerves.

these 2 teams top 20 teams ?

@jayhawks2010 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Well..he's kinda better than Mitch, only slightly though no sarcasm.

I’ve never appreciated Landen Lucas more in my life

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

College hoops blows.

@Kcmatt7 I was literally just thinking that

Did Dave play basketball for the last 8 months?

Oh my what is that shot

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Really.

Dave brick, surprise!

And not commit a moving screen violation

Mitch would get destroyed on defense.

I'd try Tristan or Gethro at the five. Can't be worse!

Dave now 1-9. Every other starter has more rebounds....

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

I'd try Tristan or Gethro at the five. Can't be worse!

All for telling gethro to rebound and rim run. That's it.

Imagine the game turning on a heinous foul call so Jalen had to sit.

Dam have you ever seen a uglier game in your life -- both these teams have A LONG WAYS TO GO

I mean, look how this game changed when they called that cheap foul on Wilson. His 4th foul. Yak Yack yuck. They didn't even notice. No foul trouble graphic. That was a huge play. Seriously game changing. Suddenly we look like 1st 10 minutes KU.

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

Mitch would get destroyed on defense.

I'd try Tristan or Gethro at the five. Can't be worse!

I’m also there. I love Dave but he doesn’t have it so far.

@BShark

Once someone mentioned he had 3 fouls earlier it seemed inevitable

@wissox Not if play 5G.

Yep. Put Gethro in, just have him not really touch it on offense. This would literally be better.

Both teams should have to take a loss for this atrocity

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

Both teams should have to take a loss for this atrocity

Amen

3-29 from three for both teams combined. Ugh.

First to 50 then just go home both teams

Dave 6-25 for the year - and HCBS thinks he will be our leading scorer????

Things Dave does well and positive for ku.

1. Doesn't turn the ball over when the ball isn't passed to him
2. Will make 75% of his free throws.
3. Can reach those special pans the in the cupboard above the refrigerator without a step stool

I can't think of anything else

The NBA scouts already turned this one off

@tundrahok said in Calamari Game Thread:

3-29 from three for both teams combined. Ugh.

We sure have missed some great looks too.

Big dave!

Oh wow, now Ochai is posting up.

Dave to the line, his best spot lol.

@BShark u blew it

13 minutes into the half and its 16-9....

Big Dave is hurt. Well, that changes everything

Dave will keep wearing that brace throughout the season!

@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:

13 minutes into the half and its 16-9....

Regular Virginia game

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

Big Dave is hurt. Well, that changes everything

Double hurt apparently.

Good lord

This is going to be such a long season

Our driving into the trees has been Kentucky's best offense

Sounds about right

Here we go - -no FG's in the last 5 minutes - - 1 for last 12

That's game over.

Dick thinks Dave sucks.

Jalen goes out and Dave comes in and our little lead has frittered away....

Put Jalen in, Yes, and crank it up, Braun. We still got this

-8 with Dave on the floor tonight. Which considering the score, is like, bad.

@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:

Jalen goes out and Dave comes in and our little lead has frittered away....

Sadly predictable.

All that passing for a brick

That's all body contact!

9-1 Kentucky run

Sure just keep going at him. It's worked so well

Good God, at least 1 right call.

Watching Dave play through suckage under Self is like working a state job with an incompetent coworker you know can't get fired.

Wilson's 3!!

Ochai missing threes like crazy tonight.

I'm feeling ill

Wilson

That was clean. DOn't reward that crappy garbage

Trash refs

Clean swipe from Harris.

SHould have been a jump ball.

Another garbage call and missed carry

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

Ochai missing threes like crazy tonight.

everybody missing 3's

Yesss!

J-WILL !

That's what we've been waiting for!

heat check was worth it, Wilson

Wilson the best player in the floor tonight for both teams

watch, refs are going to cheat wilson out of the game

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

watch, refs are going to cheat wilson out of the game

Yuppp

Another garbage call

Feed the hot hands.

Hope someone does the math to see what our +/- is with this group of 5 on the floor is. Has to be jaw dropping

More bricks

Wilson!

Nice break

So in a KU vs UK game, the recruiting credibility of the players on both teams are based on whether Michigan recruited them. Michigan????? we're talking about Michigan? Pssshhhh.

It's worth the wait.

So Harris to the line..

Wilson 19 points in the 2nd half

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

So Harris to the line..

Kid can box out, too. That's unbelieavlable.

Just win baby. I lied a little when I said I didn't get nervous until the last minute.

If Harris doesn't start this year then I 100% believe Self makes recruiting promises.

Just let the coaches take the masks off lol. They aren’t wearing them

Has anyone seen Dedric Lawson and Jalen Wilson in the same room at the same time?

@BeddieKU23 said in Calamari Game Thread:

So Harris to the line..

Yeah I'm nervous too.

@DanR said in Calamari Game Thread:

Has anyone seen Dedric Lawson and Jalen Wilson in the same room at the same time?

DONT DISRESPECT JALEN

Is Harris really that much of a brick layer?

@BShark

Calling long back rim.

Weird effing game. Ochai 3-15. Braun 2-10.

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

Just win baby. I lied a little when I said I didn't get nervous until the last minute.

games like this I have to turn away when the other team has the ball or walk out - -I can't bare to watch - talk about nerves lol

I can confirm that he does. Don't think that's at play here though.

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

YES

@BShark yes only one I was worried about was Bryce and that’s already not an issue

Think Udoka but only 6' tall.

sure wish Christian could hit a shot

I’m so glad Cal isn’t our coach. I hate his interviews

@jayballer67 said in Calamari Game Thread:

sure wish Christian could hit a shot

He struggles against athletic opponents. People that think he will leave for the NBA have lost it lol.

@Kcmatt7 he's a loser.

Double Ochaii!!!

5 assist for Harris tonight

OCHAI!!!!

Ochai!!!! Dunk number 5 this year!

This is cool

Harris D

STUD

@Kcmatt7 said in Calamari Game Thread:

He doesn't seem to play more than 15 min.

That was big time sequence

Ochai dunks with such joy

Harris 4 steals too.

Him and Garrett are a scary 1-2

Cal crying about his schedule🤡

@DanR Exactly. They're playing loose now.

Guys (and @Crimsonorblue22) I’m in love with these 5

Refs are trying to tie the game.

These 5. These 5.

CB bailed him out...

dam we got to suck it up

Braun breathing on the guy, 2 shot foul

This picture says it all

!687681FC-9A21-45D5-B3C5-43447F0A170E.jpeg ↗

Another joke called

@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:

CB bailed him out...

No easy buckets in Sir Christian's lane.

Kentucky will shoot 20 more freethrows before this is over

@BeddieKU23 What's the punch line?

anybody still question about Jalen

Stud fake!

What a trash make for Boston

Not a good plan with Garrett there coach

F+++ - ball should be in Harris' hands to distribute...

Garrett was fouled.

Waited too long to run the play.

The stupid dribble clock down....

Rebound by Braun saves us!

@DCHawker said in Calamari Game Thread:

F+++ - ball should be in Harris' hands to distribute...

Strongly agree.

I still think Wilson should shoot the ball instead of Garrett on the last play.

Please Ochai please

Braun, oh my, what a board.

Lucky

Sigh

Please Christian Please @BShark

@wissox said in Calamari Game Thread:

Please Christian Please @BShark

closer than I thought. Still lucky

Well - we're going to have to make a FT. No mean feat for us...

Man. I think that’s a 3

It’s a 3

Crap

Harris plays pretty tough D. If he can learn to drive to the basket (and Bill will make him learn that), he has to be a starter.

Wow, horrible.

Trash refs

@BShark said in Calamari Game Thread:

Trash refs

They would like to cash their post game donation..

Oh god no it's Ochai

Ochai in the zone now from the line

Zoom on out!

If Kentucky makes another garbage ass three...

We should foul tbh...

One more stop and we're there.

Foul or just let them dribble off their foot?

@BShark good call on the ft’s

Bill doesn't foul ya know that

Niiiiceee

Admire the hustle tonight.

Fugly win - but any win against UK is beeeautiful....

Dunk is icing on a cake!

@BShark Harris

I'll take it.

Did we win whatever the hell that was?

Win is a win.

Ten years from now I'm not going to remember this game

Beating Kentucky is the most satisfying thing this side of beating Duke.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Calamari Game Thread:

@BShark Harris

Needs to start

@tundrahok good to see you!

Any win especially vs UK, is a great win with this team.

A win in what was an affront to the entire sport of basketball, but a win none the less.

Kentucky is 1-2

Good god --you guys see that state - -Jalen 21 points in the 2nd half - -the rest of the team 15

@Crimsonorblue22 You too!

Dub.

The small ball lineup continues to be fun to watch, efficient. I don't think of this as ugly

Wilson is just warming up. He'll be really good by next year.

well try to look at it this way - if you can play that ugly except Jalen and win -got to say WHEW and take the W and go home

Just one step closer to passing UK in all time total wins.

Harris makes the ball move. 6 of 9 assists today

Missing 47 shots still seems ugly

Thanks all, as always. I was afraid we lost this one, but like someone said hustles win the game.

@BShark don’t be mad at the kids😳

@tundrahok said in Calamari Game Thread:

@tundrahok said in Calamari Game Thread:

True. But we outscored the cats by 10 with the right dudes. Guarding makes everything prettier.

Shot under 30% and won. Self is secretly excited.
