There's No Spin Zone - I'm Sick Of The Same Old Tired Bullshit From This Version Of Kentucky

Here we are again, another March in the trenches. And it starts with the same old bullshit from this version of Kentucky. I can't even spin zone that I wanted the rest so Cason Wallace and CJ Fredrick could get healthier. I don't want to lose any game in March. Call me crazy, but it's how I operate. I'm sick of seeing this team make the same old dumbass mistakes in a game that matters. 

It starts with the players tonight. 3 seniors - Oscar, Toppin and Reeves - went 11-for-20 from the free throw line and committed 11 turnovers. That's so pathetic. One of those turnovers was Oscar attempting the worst pass I've seen in at least the last 15 years of Kentucky basketball. I tried finding the pass but pretty sure Twitter blocked it. Just launching a bounce pass directly to a Vandy player. 

Then there's Cal going back to his old ways which seemed small but let Vandy back in it. Stop playing Ware and Oscar together. Cal did it once. UK was up 14-4, brought him in and immediately Vandy went on a run. It's the only minutes Ware played and it derailed everything. Stop playing two bigs. That simple. Also if you are using your bench, use the backup center who should thrive against Vandy (Collins) because he can step out on the perimeter and even block a shot. Use Theiro a couple of minutes because he at least goes balls to the wall on defense. 

The fact is the players were fucking awful and Cal didn't make any adjustments. It's March. Stop doing dumb shit. I'm sick of watching this version of Kentucky do the same thing over and over and over again when it matters. Adapt or die. You died tonight. 

I don't want to hear the excuses tonight from the players or Cal that I've gotten far too used to. You have 5 days until the NCAA Tournament. Stop being dumb and figure simple shit out. Just win or it's over. Adapt or die.
