    Your boy Cal, has an issue with properly preparing his teams.
    BBN, have you noticed the Kentucky Wildcats have been dominated by its opponents best player ALL year. Calapari and staff NEVER prepares or design defensive sets to stop the best players on the other teams.
    Kentucky has NOT stopped the other teams best player(s) the entire season. Texas AM has two players (Taylor, Radford) that Kentucky COULD NOT contain. Both games the same two players dominated Kentucky's entire team. Folks, that is poor coaching preparation.
    To know Taylor and Radford are the go to players for Texas AM and still allow them to dominate the game (both) is poor coaching.
    Calapari's coaching style is obsolete. The Cats beat Tennessee last week on will and determination, (guts/heart) NOT due to great coaching. (their choice)
    ...HE MUST GO!

Way extremely too much talent to have the record and early exits he's had. People might say sec tournament doesn't matter but in my opinion it does why is the standard being set lower and lower every season.Just ridiculous that every record cal is getting is the one's that are horrifying.

I have never seen a team make it far with a lot of youth, teams have got to have players with seniority leadership, if not then you fumble your way through things and figure it out the hard way Kentucky is figuring it out the hard way. Have you ever thought about this conspiracy theory, TN,AL,Kentucky all lose so 2 more SEC teams make it to the March Madness Tournament?

    How can you win a GAME, let alone a Tournament, when the Coach doesn't even want to be there? Coach Cal effectively GAVE PERMISSION to his players TO LOSE and squashed all the momentum built up over the last couple of weeks. He has betrayed his players, the fans, and the program for how many "pieces of silver" we pay him a year (8.6mil to be exact)? You can't just turn winning on and off. Unless there's a miracle, we've got a week or less til this season's over. Enjoy Selection Sunday, BBN.

    built for march, ok, it's march, Nashville was loaded with fans, A&M kinda sucks. And, got outcoached, again; out hustled; out gives a shit; guess we should be happy with all the NBA players he has, that no one watches in that turd "pro" league. I'll say it again, HE DOESN'T CARE about UK legacy, the fans or even winning, he cares about his name in the highlights on draft day, I'm guessing to shove his ability to produce pros in a league he flopped in. He will not have the talent he has right now, again on one team and we've already seen what he can do if great players are lured back one more year, nothing, oh, except have a team so bad the previous year's mvp goes undrafted. He just lets them play street ball, and hope his talented players win. And Cal, no one is firing on your players, they are kids, they are great, and I hope they make a mint in the NBA, this is on you.

      He's been doing that for years...even when UK was more successful he was doing it. Look at how he coached a guy like KAT....he hated he and guys like Cousins taking outside shots when they could....because apparently he thought the NBA was still some kind of kick it inside gladiator battle between big men. Lol. It's why Skal was such a bust when he came there. Cal wanted him to be a back to the basket, physical big man and he was more like a big Euro type player. It's the same thing on defense with zone.....Cal has never developed a decent zone defense because it's not a popular (in the early days it wasn't a legal defense) defense in the NBA, so Calipari figures it wouldn't serve players well when they got into the NBA....which leads us to the point: Cal's job is to win games AT UK....not be the best NBA feeder system he can be. The NBA can teach new players the defense it wants them to play. Plus, it's not like most of those guys wouldn't be drafted anyways.....NBA drafts on potential...they would be fine. It's just Cal being stubborn and lazy.

      Your are correct. To win in the tournament, YOU MUST RUN offensive sets to get good looks. There is always at least one game where you have to get 3 or 4 baskets in a row. Too much pressure to just through the ball out there and say go make a play, while 4 other players stand around. Playing random will get this team sent home early again. Its a shame. So much offensive talent, but no system to take advantage of the talent. This is NOT the NBA!!

    Matt nails it. It is so frustrating to watch Cal's teams of late. I don't even look forward to watching them anymore knowing what we're going to see. No defense, blocking out, rebounding and a starting line-up that puts them in a hole 75% of the time. And the SEC refs obviously hate Cal or hate the Ky basketball program. Three 7 footers, none of which can play? It seems to me that things changed after Cal got his latest contract renewal. I no longer listen to the pro-Ky hype. It's just not true. Cal does have some favorable attributes but coaching games is not one of them. I'd be willing to bet that Tyler Ulis would be a better game coach.

Recruit the best with the KENTUCKY banner, brag how many go into the NBA “Because they won’t win titles at UK”, wash and repeat! It’s his business model and always has been! It’s the Cal Ponzi scheme. We had 7 National Championship before Calipari.

I guess if we lose in the NCAA tournament we can fall back on they were a bad match up for us excuse. There is no excuse for getting swept by Texas A&M none. Can't guard the dribble yeah couldn't guard the dribble last year either when we got our brains beat in by Missouri and Gonzaga. Calipari had a year to fix that and has failed. Let Gonzaga beat us in Rupp. In actually Kentucky basketball if a team is blown out by a team the year before like Gonzaga did in 2022-2023 to us we remember remember and beat the brakes off of them when they come to our house even if their really good. Sure this team could make a run, but how likely is it? If we don't make the final 4 I want Calipari gone.

    I will never buy a Ticet to a SEC Championship with Cal as Head Coach. He is vocal about not taking the SEC Championship serious and it shows. Why would you take off work, Spend thousands of Dollars to go see UK Compete but they once again make early exit! I personally have been very vocal about this starting lineup going to bite them in March. Like Matt said why start who you never play again until the start of the second half... Its sad, the fans know put the best players on the court from the start. We go down 10 nearly each game from the start to have Reed and Rob come in to play catch up... Its Sad. This game is the game that bites you. UK could never get that momentum back after going down because A&M stayed motivated. Would this been the outcome if Reed and Rob started and UK is the team that goes up 8-1? I think not. It would have taken A&M out of the game and the UK Fans would have been behind this team from the rip! This loss is again 100% on Cal.
    Lets talk Zone. Cal even said he wish he had done more zone. UK did zone twice to my knowledge this game and they look like trash. Why? These kids knew how to play zone in HS but now look like they have never seen it. Reed Shepard was fun to watch in zone defense in HS but now he looks lost a lot. Use it or lose it! Coaching ISSUE!
    Reed Sheppard is the best Shooter on the team when he wants to be. Why is he not taking shots? Watching its pretty clear to me. The team doesn't look for him to make shots! If Rob has the ball he looks for the shot for himself first, then thinks drive it. Reed will be open the majority of the time and Rob doesnt look at him once. Justin and DJ both do the same!

    There's a logical reason for playing the lineup that we start - it's called recruiting. Cal's mindset is that he can't keep bringing in top recruits if they see that top recruits from year's past don't get enough playing time. He might be right, but it shows where his focus his.

But the game was officiated one sided with calls in favor of Texas A&M with so many phantom fouls called on UK players especially on Antonio Reeves that had him sitting on the bench for 21 minutes of the game .. . Officials Doug Shows and Olandis Poole have a history of making calls that are in no way favorable to UK.. Bad officiating tarnishes the game of basketball..

    I’m absolutely sick of Cal setting the wrong kind of records. I love this team but let’s be honest, we have zero chance of winning the title. I feel like if we don’t make it to the elite 8 then Cal will permanently lose this fanbase. Barnfart needs to demand more out of Cal or pay the buyout and move on. BBN deserves better.

    Coach Cal cannot coach he's a great recruiter but he cannot coach it's time for a new coach. Call is more worried about the NBA image and being a Hollywood star or something instead of being a X's and O's coach.

      As a Louisville fan,...I know how you feel, but look, UK is like the Roman Empire of College Basketball.
      Recruiting is great, but look what we did in '13. Our squad didn't have any 5 star players, our bench was thin, our SG snaps his leg in half.
      However, Pitino had the guys molded into a machine.
      You guys will be fine with a new coach.
      Meanwhile, I have PTSD from watching UL this season.

    I’ve been saying for years Calipari was hired to Win Championships - So far he’s won 2 SEC and ONE NCAA Championships.
    He’s turned UK into the laughing stock of the SEC and NCAA by running his NBA 1 & Done Revolving Door Prep Camp.
    Recruits now come to UK to fulfill the NBA’s One Year college requirement and hopefully become a First Round Draft Pick.
    Cal must be forced to stop this and require players to stay 4 years or not attend OR Retire and UK find someone who will actually coach.

      If Caliper walks away who do you think that Kentucky would get to replace him? Who is a true fit for Kentucky? In all honesty don't you think Cal would be better if he recruited lower tier players someone that you know will be around for 3 yrs or more? I have never seen a team make it far with a lot of youth, teams have got to have players with seniority leadership, if not then you fumble your way through things and figure it out the hard way Kentucky is figuring it out the hard way.

      I appreciate what cal has done for uk. And I appreciate him actually modernizing the offense and willing to change. But he really needs a solid tourney this year man. Like you can’t say sec tourney doesn’t matter and then lose early in ncaa every year. If he doesn’t have a solid tourney run. The division between him and the fans is going to be hmmm idk lol maybe unfixable. I just don’t see how he can survive a bad tourney. He may still be the coach but the fans are going to abandon him and it will get ugly. Also Mitch needs cal to have a good tourney also because if cal is gone Mitch will be gone lol.

      He's a feast or famine player....great talent, but he's going to push it whether he has it that night or not.....and it's going to lead to nights like last night.....aside from the turnovers his box score doesn't look bad....but it was all hero ball....basically him getting his points in desperation time....but not allowing an actual offense to start running. He's also as bad at defense as any of the guards.

    Will another first weekend exit from the big dance be enough to make a change? The answer is no. The last four Cal years have been the most painful to watch in my lifetime. Say what you want about how fun this team is to watch, I respectfully disagree. College basketball is played at both ends of the court, and we only play on one. I'm done. Won't be watching the NCAA tourney. Can't invest hope in Cal or this team. Love some of our players this year, but it's too painful. Explain to me how we have all this talent and can't stop ANYONE. WE HAVE TWO LOTTERY PICKS AND CANT WIN ONE GAME IN THE SEC TOURNEY!?! I'm over it. Cal will never be fired. This is a what we get to look forward to for the next 3-4 years until he decides to move on. Yay.

Getting beat off the dribble and being out muscled is due to insignificant coaching. If he can't win with this group, he can't win. He needs to go.

    I think what bothers me the most is that Cal is quite outspoken about his feelings on the SEC Tournament. This simply has to be in the minds of the players. Yes, it would be fantastic to have our CATS win the NCAA Championship each year however, being TOP DOG (CAT) in the SEC is what fans really appreciate (hopefully on a yearly basis0. at least that's my stand. Also, until Cal starts playing a little zone. well, ??? College basketball IS NOT the NBA!

    What adjustments or improvement was made from the 1st A&M game? NONE! Looked like the same game. Thats on Cal. At the moment Kentucky cant beat A&M. Couldn't do nothing with those guards. Better play AB for defense. He moves better than big Z defensively. He is a little more athletic, foot speed is better. Might as well use those fouls. Big Z in a pick and roll is cooked meat. And dudes be eatin. Defense is not good, but I still hold the offense accountable. The coaching is what it is. But you can't blame Cal for missing layups!!! Seemed like they missed about 10 layups.
