[@tevorlong9581]

It’s not that he’s insane. Any middle of the road or less player that plays Kentucky is usually on fire. Kentucky brings the best out of everyone. Playing Kentucky in basketball is like playing the Super Bowl or playing for a championship.

[@dannyjaynes34]

It was awesome to see the crowd when Reed Shepherd made that last shot,it was priceless!!!!!

esp after they were still cheering for the last 3 lol

2019 Kentucky decommit and current Mississippi State player DJ Jeffries once laughed that he had something for Kentucky if he ever played against them. What he's had for UK was 19 total points in 4 career games (all loses).

[@Bravesfan12345]

To be fair he’s a defensive first guy. It’s not like he averages 12 a game normally.

[@chrismurphy7199]

Cal actually coached this time and he did it well. It's like we got the old Cal back! I hope he keeps it up. Great job coach!

[@josephhart271]

I must say I agree. Cal was masterful with his rotations yesterday. He got major contributions from both centers off the bench. And even got some spark out of Wagner for the first time in a while.

[@kellyevans7298]

@teddystyseh reed still gets starter minutes so oh well, I kinda want cal to bring him off the bench the rest of the season to stay motivated and maybe hopefully get him to stay another year lol. But I doubt he will, they have him as a top 10-15 pick in most mock drafts

[@SYE149]

@@kellyevans7298hate to break it to u but reed is not staying another year 😭

[@kellyevans7298]

@@SYE149 I know he’s not, I think that’s why they don’t start reed and rob, bc he knows they are gonna be gone next year anyway, but he still gives them starter minutes bc they are 2 of the best 3 players, and that’s why he starts Edward’s, thiero, and Wagner bc if they stay, not only bc of size for thiero snd edwards but it’ll be harder for them to transfer since they are starters and to keep their confidence up. Even tho Wagner will most likely be gone too

[@DipxhitDale]

Ncaa needs this Kentucky team to advance far in the tournament, they are fun to watch

[@dotcom_y]

That was a great ending! Both teams made shots and big plays. Kentucky had 3 points in the first 6 minutes and still finished with 91. Their offensive efficiency is crazy at times.

Cant lie the mississippi state coach was in his bag, they had a great gameplan and great shot selection

No, Jordan Burks

[@MrAitraining]

@@Thinking_skills jordan reference is when the home crowd thinks they won a game and the real jordan with just a few ticks would demand the ball, take a few steps, drive and nail a game winner. You see reed clapping for the ball before 1/2 court and wanting the ball. I'm not comparing them as players obviously.

Kentucky took Mississippi State best shot and still battles back to win. They were down 52-39 to start the second half and came back and took almost a 10 pt lead. If that doesn't tell you this team is growing on defense then idk what does.

[@MrRrusiii]

The crowd environment too. We were 8 for 8 from the free throw line in the last minute in probably the most nerve wracking circumstances you can have outside a tournament. So proud of their toughness

[@pmontyjaaaymes488]

The greatest college team in modern times was the 15-16 UK team that went 38-0.. That season, the ONLY weakness seemed to be the twins in the backcourt. UK best two guards were two freshmen named Booker/Ulis.. Had CAL played them, he finishes the dream season. Come tourney time, forget rankings of HS studs (Edwards), forget seniority (starting guards), forget nepotism (Wagner) The ball and keys to the team BELONG to Reed Sheppard/Rob "get crazy" Dillingham. Those two guys are the best players he has had sine Fox/Monk.. GO BBN
