••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS MISS ST GAME THREAD••

[Kingslayer07]

Jefferies for MS was a UK commits a few years ago I think.

Yep

 

[ala_kat2]

Why in the motherloving HELL is Z not in the freaking game??

Cal is killing this team with this bullshyt

Everyone, well most everyone, knows Cal cannot coach an 8th grade team.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

It should be 37-35 if Jeffries didn’t hit shots he hasn’t hit all year

 

[Kingslayer07]

Z > Ugo in any game. He should be starting and playing as many minutes as he can.

I dont get how he can have some an awesome game(s) then shrivel up into a shell the last few games. Mind numbing.

 

[JadedCat]

I hate all of you Cal defenders.

 

[RoyKent]

Cut the lead to 4 (manageable) and then let them make 9 of 10 shots.

This team is such a pile of garbage defensively.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

CAL CHANGE STARTING LINEUP 2ND HALF!!! WE ARE ON THE ROAD AND DOWN 8, DONT LET IT GROW.

START Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jamal Mercer]

So…..we went to a zone. Had them confused for both possessions, stop, then a wide open 3.

Switch right back to man………wide open 3.

So who effing cares about wide open 3s given up in the zone.


Go to zone and hope they start missing.

 

[ukjenning44]

Cal going to start an offensively challenged lineup in the 2nd half with us behind.
Has nothing to do with who is a better defender because our whole team pretty much sucks at D.

 

[KentuckyStout]

We blew it. Blew it again. We absolutely can't dig these freaking holes by these lineups.

And what does Cal do? He digs holes EVERY. single.time...and then sits and watches Ugo dickinger while Z sits on the bench and watches.

 

[katwest]

Shep easy layup. Officials, let's call play dead.

Yea, they worry about that and it’s our ball either way, then let Edward’s get hammered twice on the same play with no call. If they are going to stop play for something like that when we prolly would have scored anyway, they need to call the obvious fouls.

[UKWildcats1987]

Calipari showed da bennies tonight.

 

[Kingslayer07]

Cut the lead to 4 (manageable) and then let them make 9 of 10 shots.

This team is such a pile of garbage defensively.

Pretty sure we had it down to 2? Z missed a 3 that would have given us the lead.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

MSU essentially 6-10 from 3 if you count Dilly’s foul on a 3. They are too tough and good defensively to let them do that.

I’ve seen us whoop MSU in a half this year and I also watched MSU score 21 in a half at home this year(against Auburn). Gotta stay attached here early second half to have a chance.

 

[JadedCat]

I dont get how he can have some an awesome game(s) then shrivel up into a shell the last few games. Mind numbing.

To play devil's advocate, name one team that would get hyped for playing Mississippi St.

 

[Wildcats1st]

We need edwards to play like his build. He’s so weak taking it to the basket. I thought coming in he would be a physical freak but he plays below the rim.

 

[BBUK_anon]

Boogie would be slapping the taste out of the UK bigs mouths just to fire them up to bring the toughness.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

And state will go to Auburn Saturday and get ran off the floor

State isn't a bad team. Should be a tournament team. But the problem is its Kentucky. They never used to lose to teams like State and its a regular occurrence now.

Story of the game so far

 

[FilsonCat]

I like posters like @OmahaCats that go back and do annoying laughs at posts. But are nowhere to be found when **** is hitting the fan.

 

[rick64]

MSU only whistled for 5 fouls so far. What a joke.

 

[HenryMuto]

Amazing how when we played that at home we totally dominated them we controlled the game the entire way led by 18 at the half and save for the early 2nd half run where they cut it to 6 we put it right back out to double digits and we never looked back.

Where is that team ? We didn't even have Z that game.

Oh ya I told you all we were not getting 27 FT's again like the 1st game

1st game we shot 27 FT's they shot 10
1st game we went 23/31 from 2 point range

 

[KentuckyStout]

FT[/U]
UK 0-2
MSU 6-10

The difference in the game so far - brought to you by SEC road referee

 

[NociHTTP]

To play devil's advocate, name one team that would get hyped for playing Mississippi St.

You sound like Cal.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Our interior defense is just hideous. Beat anybody, lose to just about anybody.

 

[blubo]

Not worried. cal will make adjustments during halftime

 

[ukwildcatwildfan]

Cal literally took a freaking shovel and dug us into a freaking HOLE

and his interview hurr/durr 50-50 balls hurr durr his canned interview response

I feel like losing 50/50 balls is a go-too excuse when you don't have the answer, because it's not like you can scheme your team into winning those

 

[OldRed]

We can't stay in front of anyone again. At the end of the half, we ran around on defense, getting beat and out of position until we give up an open 3. Sad that we can't consistently give defensive effort but MSU's defensive pressure and manhandling throws this team off. That's why we need to put the effort in defensively.

We need to step up defensively or try to always schedule teams like Alabama that are allergic to playing defense.

 

[HenryMuto]

I may as well go walk my invisible dog this one is over.

ZERO CHANCE Kentucky wins this

ESPN has it at 80% Miss State wins

 

[ukjenning44]

Start the Nuclear five and play zone at least 10 minutes.

Never gonna happen!

 

[bbnkat02]

It should be 37-35 if Jeffries didn’t hit shots he hasn’t hit all year

If wishes and buts were candies and nuts…..

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Story of the game so far

Just wait till a team in March with a really good big man plays them. Tolu Smith is a solid player. But he isn't someone who should be dominating against UK .

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

The rock fight lineup starts.

Cal refuses to let us play 2 games in a row I swear.

 

[HenryMuto]

Should have just won the LSU game win the games you had won up 15 in the 2nd half and 1 stop at the end.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

4-4 in our last 8. Holly hell dude.

Or 5-5 in the last 10 definitely UK standards!!!

 

[jameslee32]

Z can come in for 25 secs and then Ugo will start 2nd half.

Ugo and Z each played 8 mins. Bradshaw 4

 

[CincyUKFan]

Good for DJ to make two threes and make a layup. His defense was atrocious though. To win this game, we need more Dilly and Reed, and also for Reeves to shoot the ball better. 1/4 from deep hurts.

I was concerned that CCC was going to try to play Justin Edwards 30+ minutes after the breakout game. And that’s exactly what he tried to do until Edwards picked up his second foul. He hasn’t been good in this one, but I believe Cal left him in for the first 12 minutes

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

We blew it. Blew it again. We absolutely can't dig these freaking holes by these lineups.

And what does Cal do? He digs holes EVERY. single.time...and then sits and watches Ugo dickinger while Z sits on the bench and watches.

It was 30-28 with 5:43 to go in the 1st half. Can't blame the starting line up for getting down 11

 

[FilsonCat]

MSU is 99% winning this game. All it will take is Dilly and the bigs to pick up some quick fouls and this game is toast. The one percent is if Dilly puts up 20 points this half.
