Obviously, Seth Greenberg didn't watch the same Kentucky-Arkansas game that you and I did

Seth Greenberg thinks DJ Wagner should be jailed for what he did to Travis Perry last Saturday when Wagner’s 17 second-half points helped carry Arkansas to a win in Rupp Arena. Wagner was outstanding in his old home arena after a cold first half, hitting 7 of 8 shots from the field, including both 3-point tries after halftime. All the Big Blue Nation could do was tip their caps to the former Wildcat.

Greenberg told Hogs Plus that the Wagner-Perry matchup was the difference-maker, saying, “They found that matchup with DJ on the Perry kid, and DJ could’ve gotten arrested for what he did to that kid.”

Wagner played a great game in Lexington. Nobody is arguing that. The former Wildcat deserves all of the accolades he gets this week.

However, Greenberg could’ve been arrested for what he said about Perry’s defense because Wagner scored zero points on Perry. Perry played one minute in the second half when Wagner did all of his work. Perry was not a factor in the outcome one way or another.

This was an unnecessary shot at Perry, one Greenberg said for laughs from his audience, and it is further proof that Greenberg is not an analyst worth listening to.

If only a two-minute highlight reel of DJ Wagner’s game was easily accessible online. Oh, wait! There is! Where’s “that Perry kid,” Seth?

Wagner has plenty of evidence to prove his innocence if he is indeed arrested for doing something to Perry, who was sitting on the bench. A bogus case and bogus analysis.

And, surely, Greenberg didn’t bring up Perry as a shot for the Calipari-Pope argument. But then again, why else would he mention the freshman who played one second-half minute? Kentucky had enough problems to point out to be calling out the freshman with the ninth-most minutes and the fourth-best plus/minus.

I don’t know his reasoning, and I hate breaking my rule of not mentioning Seth Greenberg on the internet, but somebody has to call him out. Don’t mess with Lyon County.

By the way, Perry outscored Wagner in the first half, 3-0.
