Murray down at half. Man. Don’t know why great teams always have a February slump.

[SophiesDad]

Shouldn’t need him to win this game, but would be nice to have Toppin. We got bad Keion today. Hopefully he can turn it around in 2nd half

 

[gbl97]

TyTy shooting 1-8. Oof.

 

[pauled#1]

What’s the score?

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Mintz hasn't been his usual self today either. He has missed all of his 3's. That really hurts our offense too. Seems Grady is the only reliable shooter we have right now. And after starting the game hitting 3 straight, he has now missed 3 or 4 straight.

Forcing shots. I did like how he drove the paint a few times.
Again, this team needs Wheeler on the court.

 

[Dubya C Dubya]

Brooks, Tyty and Wheeler a combined 3 of 14…yikes

A game thread just wouldn't be the same without 20-30 negative posts from you.

 

[bbnkat02]

After a hustle rebound and put back and one.

But an air balled FT. That’s up there with blocking a FT. It’s the easiest shot in BB. How do you air ball one?

 

[kuhlkat]

And here I thought Brooks was good against a zone defense. What an enigma.
Maybe the 2nd half?

 

[kennyskywalker34]

After a hustle rebound and put back and one.

Yeah. 20 posts about him shooting a air ball at the line. Who cares? It went off the side of his hand when he released it. It happens.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

UK up 5.

 

[fatguy87]

Well, we started 8/10. Then went cold.

Florida stopped turning the ball over.

They had 5 in the first 7 minutes which led to open looks in transition.

For the rest of the half, they committed just 1. Florida closed off the rim and made us jump shooters in the half court.

 

[Dubya C Dubya]

Ty Ty's shot selection needs tweaking.

Halftime?

So in other words, Mike White outcoached Cal for 23 minutes?

 

[bbnkat02]

Aight. 0-0. Let’s win this second half.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Halftime?

start of the second just beginning now.

 

[BlueThunderstruck]

For this team to make a deep March run, Washington has got to start making shots again. He just has to.

 

[Atrain7732]

Ty Ty's shot selection needs tweaking.

He seemed to be forcing it a bit just needs to let it come to him

 

[Jamal Mercer]

When we are struggling it would be nice to throw something new at the defense to try and get an easy bucket….like a screen (not a Ball screen).

Rather than watch Grady, Mintz, and Brooks shoot off balance 25 footers.

 

[bbnkat02]

Appleby back. Wow.

 

[Kats23]

So is today "bash Cal's offense" day after yesterday was "defend Cal against those who bash Cal's Offense" day?

Tomorrow will be "Defend Cal's Offense" Day again, whereas Monday is "Bash Cal's Offense" Day?

Up until 2020 he was full on bash mode for all things Kentucky. You had posters questioning if he was a fan. He would bash non stop, post nothing but bad news. But somewhere along the past couple of years, his lips were surgically attached to Cal’s butt. He still goes crazy in the game thread trashing the players but non game days he’s 100% defending Cal to the death.
I’ve never seen a transition like his on this board

Are you a moron?

 

[bbnkat02]

Two bricked threes. Come on.

 

[jjhagan7]

The 2nd half is more important than the first half. If he picks up a 3rd foul, we're screwed in the second half.

If we were down 10 points, yeah, put him back in, but you don't risk a 3rd foul there.

Wheeler is only effective if he plays with his hair on fire, he can't do that with 2 fouls on him.

How many times

How many times has Wheeler fouled out this year?

 

[Atrain7732]

We just look lost against the zone

 

[bbnkat02]

Are you a moron?

No. Are you? Or are we going to be grade schoolers?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Tyty needs to keep shooting.

He'll shoot himself out of the slump.

 

[HenryMuto]

I am furious how that 1st half ended you never should give up a basket when you have last shot ability.

 

[Atrain7732]

There we go TyTy sees one go down

 

[jameslee32]

Nice rebound TTW.
3 for TTW!!!

 

[SophiesDad]

Good TyTy

 

[ukfan041]

Tyty finally hitting

 

[TortElvisII]

TTW is going to shoot himself out of this slump.

 

[bbnkat02]

And 1. Thank you.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I’d put ware in the game and let him play defense on Castleton and put Brooks on the pine

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

TY Fighter picking it up a bit.

 

[HenryMuto]

TyTy needs to fix his shot terrible from 3 and FT line since coming back from his injury.

 

[kyjeff1]

Our shooters need to get on track, a missed 3 pointer seems to always equal an easy bucket on the other end.

 

[jameslee32]

He'll shoot himself out of the slump.

He heard ya!
