Yes he is but these guys are not good enough on the defensive end and they routinely make careless passes. Kentucky players are not that much better. They just happened to be on with their shooting and Bama didn’t help themselves with poor defense and careless passing.
@@Littlewing1977 They are both extremely talented teams but Kentucky is the team with the biggest upside. Both teams obviously have to improve defensively in order to go deep into the NCAA Tournament.
This loss is on the team. You can hear it in his voice. He's disgusted. He does not seem to know what to do at this point. The team laid down and quit today.
@@ceddie Kentucky is not exactly a defensive juggernaut in defensive sets but they do force a lot of turnovers especially Sheppard who has amazing hand speed.
If Alabama meets UK again and if UK plays that type of defense I don't see Alabama being able to stop it you have your team ready no matter the circumstance
Alabama gets pushed around against big, physical teams and better play defense or it will be another end of first or second weekend exit. Kentucky looks much more promising.
@@rzob.5729 Cal is a whiny know-it-all who says that he doesn't listen to the outside noise, but spends half the press conference addressing what people outside are saying about him. Every time he gets a good win he comes out guns blazing, but when he has a bad loss he has nothing to say. As a lifelong Kentucky fan, I have grown tired of his whole charade. Win something that means something and then talk shit. Until then, quit your whining. He's had more talent than anybody in the country since he's been at Kentucky. People are just tired of the excuses.
As much as it stinks to get blown out like this, at least I don’t have to deal with having a game like this after getting beaten by LSU. Or blowing out Kentucky, then getting hammered by A&M (Tennessee).
Ummm, what??? This blow out is just as ugly and embarrassing as everything else you mentioned. And what exactly are you dealing with, other than having to choose between Doritos or Tostitos?
This is what happens when your starting center unexpectedly leaves school to play in the G League. No time was left to find a suitable replacement for him. Kids! 🤦🏽♂️
This is what happens when you coach in a generation where even the 5-10 players on your team try to be 1 and done players. Only way to win college now days is to sign the #1 class EVERY YEAR. Even then, odds of you having any leadership or maturity for a championship run is doubtful.
It's one game people and be forgotten next week because this is SEC expect the unexpected! AUB beats SC 40+ points then KY beats AUB than LSU beats KY than KY beats Bama so on so on!
Go cats but just can't give up 90 points a game u just can't no matter how good offensively u are if u have a off nite your beat because of the defense but always riding with my cats bbn
@@wubuck79that's tha' RESULT of BAMA'S style of play. Turn it over or miss a three is hyperbolic, but somewhat true. BAMA players have a low basketball I.Q. ROLL TIDE!
Cal is a sleazy car salesman sore loser. Then he wins a game and swaggy cal is back bragging and rubbing it in people’s face saying I told you so, I told you so. He’s the most unprofessional coach in college basketball.
He has no honor and really a stain on the game as a whole. Some may say oh you’re a hater!! So.. he’s garbage That team is garbage, this the 2 worst defensive rebounding team and they drug those dudes. They couldn’t even get the ball up the court half the time . Credit Kentucky yeah yeah yeah ok but the fact is. The guard play at a Alabama is a times laughable. I thought Auburns back court was weak. No this team back court looked like a hs girls Jv team.
As much as I like the style of play the mentality he looks for it seems to be the thug gangsta types . And his just attitude or swag is atrocious. Anyone who thinks this guy could come and coach at UK is off their rocker. I would never want to see this guy as my schools coach and really your team scored about 12 points during a time when Kentucky let way off the gas if you watch this game with no score in mind. This game was never even close. Lol
I sure hope you are right. In the 4 years Oats has been at Alabama, he is 54-16 in SEC play with 2 regular season championships and 2 conference tournament titles. He must be doing something right.
I can’t imagine trying to “coach” a college basketball team in this generation… How you get “buy in” or get them to sacrifice/play selfless for the greater good of the team is beyond me??? They don’t even believe a coach who tells them they “must be able to play defense to make it to NBA”… if you need proof, just look at average score of an NBA game. They give up well over 100 points each night and typically only guard the last 2 min of any game. All Star game literally scored over 200 points per team. I get that it’s exhibition, but they used to have pride in performance all the way around, now it’s just a “show/shoot around” Anyway, GOOD LUCK COACH OATS! We appreciate your effort!
I really like this coach.
Coach your a great coach you ran into a better talent team on high speed! Go Cats!

I couldn’t figure out why the Bama Guards stopped taking the ball to the basket and started throwing it inside to guys who couldn’t catch and score.
@@ceddie Somebody scored considering that Alabama hit 57.6% of their shots. They still lost by 22 and it wasn't really that close.
@@wilburcrick7564 yeah they scored. But how many turnovers did they have in the meantime? That’s when they got behind in the game.

Thanks Cal!!!

If Alabama meets UK again and if UK plays that type of defense I don't see Alabama being able to stop it you have your team ready no matter the circumstance
What does 1-4-6 mean
Kentucky had an average of 1.46 points per possession
Bama still dangerous
I like Nate Oats and thought maybe he’d eventually replace Cal once he left. But the whole Brandon Miller fiasco probably ruined his chances.
Offense wins games. Defense wins championships. Hopefully the Tide can figure something out.
In football, defenses can outscore an opposing offense and win a game. In basketball, it isn't so. Good cliche though.
LetsGoCats
When u play ky , it’s like yo yo ball.
Both these teams can beat anyone in the country. I’d hate to see either of them in March.
Alabama can't handle big physical teams, that apply alot of pressure. That will bite them in the ass
Alabama gets pushed around against big, physical teams and better play defense or it will be another end of first or second weekend exit. Kentucky looks much more promising.
@@billo41721kentucky’s defense is 316th and bamas is 318th. If both don’t step it up on defense they’ll be sweet sixteen exits
Sounds exactly like Cal after several games this season.
Not really. He answered questions after a loss
This is the Turning point of the UK season..... Mark.....My....Words!
Cal doesn't really talk after games.
No, he doesn't. this guy sounds more intelligent and let's the press finish their questions and doesn't talk on top of them.

He at least attends his press conferences unlike Cal. If KY lost by 22 Cal wouldn't even show up

Change the batteries in the smoke detector. 0:40 😆
Love my UK team. But this is fools gold game. Alabama played horrible on defense.
You love your team but you refuse to give them any credit. Got ya.
97th in defensive efficiency isn't going to get you very far in March
Go cats but just can't give up 90 points a game u just can't no matter how good offensively u are if u have a off nite your beat because of the defense but always riding with my cats bbn
BBN
Same story over and over. Run down the court turn it over or miss a 3. Repeat repeat all game long. This strategy does not work!!
Uh, Bama is #1 in the SEC😂
Obviously. Run, miss a three, or turn it over isn’t the strategy. They didn’t execute the strategy.
@@wubuck79that's tha' RESULT of BAMA'S style of play. Turn it over or miss a three is hyperbolic, but somewhat true. BAMA players have a low basketball I.Q. ROLL TIDE!
it obviously does work if he’s 54-16 in sec play and 2 sec tourney titles and had the number 1 team last year
Having hurt and suspended players not a good time be going against Kentucky!
Your guy out is a bum. Our most important player was out. Try again
Whitesell???? 😂 and the guy that thought he was Dusty Rhodes throwing his bionic elbow ..😂
Even the coach said if he was playing would not had made a difference
Kentucky ain't nobody.
@@jonmeans2637not him. Whitesell has a head injury. The guy suspended was Mohamed Wague.
At least Oats will talk to the media after a beat-down. Can’t say the same for Cal.
Cal talks to the media after every game home game or not.
Talks for 2 minutes* you’re right
