***** Official St. Joe's vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[RMorris33_rivals]

Sometimes they swarm on defense and sometimes they look flat out uninterested in guarding anyone. Gotta be an effort thing

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Stop playing Reed off the ball and let him run the offense please.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It's sad because it's not like we are facing Texas AM Commerence. This is a fringe top 100 basketball team we are facing.

And I'm pretty sure if this was at Kansas or Duke, the crowd would be a heck of a lot better. They seem to never have a shortage in the way of student energy.

 

[bbnkat02]

Zero sets to get Reed an open look.

Which isn't the issue. Our lack of freaking defense is.

 

[jameslee32]

Thiero AND 1!!

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Kentucky I beg of you for this segment guard the 3 please

 

[ala_kat2]

How the hell did st joes lose to commerce

Must have missed all those 3’s they have hit tonight

 

[ukgold]

Adou is so strong

 

[MbergCat]

They've hit 11 threes. It feels like 39.

 

[know1]

Zero sets to get Reed an open look.

Zero sets ever. He doesn't coach

 

[bbnkat02]

Extend this lead!

 

[megablue]

Which isn't the issue. Our lack of freaking defense is.

100% this ^^^

 

[MbergCat]

Shep passes up a 3 for Wagner to miss one by 3 feet.

 

[jameslee32]

Air balls will kill their 3-point % alright.

 

[Shaudylo]

Hell of a rebound and pass by Tre. I thought Reed should have shot it again

 

[clew84]

Nice shot Wags.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Sheppard let that reload fly man, I rather you shoot a 3 then Wagner

 

[*CatinIL*]

I've been busy with other stuff tonight. Seriously CATS, up 5 to StJ at the 10:00 mark in the second half? Wake up and play basketball...

 

[bbnkat02]

Gonna piddle around and lose this one. Sure feels that way.

 

[LmdCat]

Why in the hell did Shep pass on a three that put the ball in Wagner's hands? I blame Shep for that. He should never defer shooting to Wagner.

 

[megablue]

Theiro needs to use more glass down low

 

[jameslee32]

Hell of a rebound and pass by Tre. I thought Reed should have shot it again

He was still wide open. Then the DJ airball
ED for 3!!!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Oh jeez 2nd foul with less than 10 min to go and he pulls him.. terrible.

 

[TheExhaustedOne]

I’m afraid we got a real problem with Wagner. Cal is going to make sure he’s a lotto pick no matter what it does to the season and the way he’s playing it will absolutely cost us games.

 

[catzfanjim]

Wagner will shatter a backboard this year and it won’t be on a dunk.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Gonna piddle around and lose this one. Sure feels that way.

Their letting chances to create some separation go by

 

[Lionel_Hutz]

Reed is too unselfish

 

[megablue]

St Joe's is QUICK, much like St. Peter's was !!

 

[bbnkat02]

Edddwards!

 

[know1]

Starting to feel like an L.

 

[ck-2]

Wagner from three is awful.

 

[bbnkat02]

Where is Rob? Is he dead?

 

[MbergCat]

Edwards needed to see that 3 go in!

 

[Kingslayer07]

Reed has gotten cooked a few times now on defense.

 

[jessieshorts8]

You know this St joe's team is actually pretty good.

 

[RMorris33_rivals]

Edwards 2-2 on threes

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

First game this year where we are really missing our bigs. We have given up 10 offensive rebounds, we can't stay in front of them so we are constantly in defensive rotation leading to wide open 3's. If we had a rim protector we could stay out on the shooters and funnel everything to the shotblocker.

 

[TFCat11]

If Cal doesn’t play the right players in the right positions at the right times like any other coach would do, then the SEC is going to be ugly.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Fts we have left 5 points on the board

 

[KyCatFan1]

St Joe's wants this game more. They are better defensive than us and are more active rebounding. Going to struggle to put them away the rest of the game unless our effort increases.
