UK vs UT: Game Thread

[Downes Van Zandt]

To be fair to Alex Legion, his mother was a lunatic and his coach was banging his girlfriend.

His mom thought she was psychic or something, right?

[KCKUKFan]

Same with Alex Legion.

Those are the guys we should dislike as fans IMO. They took a lot and gave nothing. Sahvir Wheeler is just an uneven player. Not worth disliking the guy…especially because we have a team full of uneven players this year.

I don’t believe I remember any player I disliked. I might have been upset about their attitude or effort but that is as far as it goes.

[Will Lavender]

You won’t believe me, but I think about him a lot. Really thought he was the next great Kentucky shooter, at the time.

Also if you think we couldn't use Keion Brooks on this team you probably need to leave message board posting to other folks.

That guy has scored in single digits twice all year. He had 30 against the national champs last year.

He would absolutely make us better the second he stepped on the court. That was a big loss. Hopkins was significantly bigger. Shaedon Sharpe was bigger than that.

Three players who would take this team from mediocre to a contender.

I never said that KeBron wouldn't help the team and he would offensively. I said he still plays garbage defense. Sorry, told you guys how I felt, sorry if it ruffled some feathers. Like I said, I can't wait till he is out of a UK jersey. I would never say anything of the sort to the kid in person or online like those idiots that @ players on Twitter and I will admit when he does something well.

[Catsrock]

He should've been. I remember being mad Tubby didn't play him more.

He was a huge signee when Tubby was still riding the momentum of his NC. But like everyone under Tubby—had to wait his turn as an underclassman. Then things went awry.

Now there's a name I haven't thought about in a long time.

Rashaad Carruth wasn’t the most popular guy when he left UK. Or when kicked off OU.

[Matt Dillon]

If Wheeler and Wallace are healthy, how many minutes you think Wheeler will get tonight? Anyone think he starts?

I think he starts and plays 30-35 min.

As much as Wheeler as a person, the thing about him faking that would be that he'd have to know the cameras were on him every time they made it on him. That's a pretty deep con...and for what? To try and ruse the percentage of Kentucky fans who dislike him or his game?

It makes no sense. They all looked into the game the other day. When you've got assistants crying on the bench you know that win was special.

[KCKUKFan]

I know this won't set well with some here but I honestly think a lot of his "cheering" the other day was fake.

Nonsense. You know nothing about the kid as a human being.

He wears KENTUCKY on his chest.

[Will Lavender]

Don’t hold back Ratt. Tell us how you really feel about Wheeler.

We should feel free to criticize players here up to a point. The on-the-court stuff is fair game. Ratt isn't 100% right about Wheeler as a player but he isn't 100% wrong.

But when you get into reading stuff into a player's personality, and when we're talking about college players on here, that's a bridge too far.
