Kentucky vs Tennessee Game Thread

[pauled#1]

Is Amari afraid of contact?

He must be, he backed off and watched Z lay the ball up!

 

[Basscat1987]

Why does this game feel like it’s being played in slow motion? And Brea only has 2 three attempts. Can’t happen Pope. You gotta get that figured out

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

when williams doesn't put his hands up on defense kills me the most, are you gonna block it with your shoulder?

 

[CrazyCat74]

WTF Williams? Ziegler layed it up rigjt in his face, he just let him.

I can't even get mad anymore at him. Lol

 

[deebert]

Does Williams know how to dunk? I honestly don't think I've ever seen him dunk.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Have we ever had a big guy that simply watched people shoot shots at the rim w/out even raising his arms like Williams? He could have pushed that ball down Zeigler’s throat if he wanted. He never even raised a heel off the ground. I don’t get that sh*t.

Even if he fouls, I am fine

But he just stands?

 

[zannmann]

Our starting 5 can win this game. Pope needs to sub a little less than he did in the first half.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Even without putting the hand and jump

Wtf?

I usually won’t defend Amari but he is getting called for fouls and his rebounding has been crucial tonight.

 

[Thunder Mash]

Bro even Skal would have contested that layup.

 

[OmahaCats]

These freaking refs, man.

Refs? Lol

 

[4Frusciante#]

terrible work from the tv guys; they're looking at a review to see if the shot was off in time and they're showing a UT basket from a couple minutes earlier

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Love how officials are quick to try to take two points off the board for us but they sure as hell didn't want to put two back on for us.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Has Amari ever tried to block a shot?

He just stood there without leaving his feet against a 5ft9 guy at the rim starring at him a min ago so I'm gonna say no.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I’m trying to figure out why ref doesn’t call Zeigler for a push off on that basket? WTF MAN?! Blatant. That is awful.

 

[gbl97]

I don't know how much longer I can watch Williams. It's just unbelievable for a senior to do what he does.

 

[bbnkat02]

I went to the bathroom and come back to see us score like 13. I like it. Now KEEP. IT. UP.

 

[zannmann]

Williams stood there and watched 5’7 Zeigler shoot a freaking layup.

 

[ukfan117]

Robinson and Amari can be so lazy at times.

 

[truckbrandon]

Ziegler is like 2 feet shorter than Amari, but he just stands there and watches him lay it in... unbelievable!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I'll never forget that one game Williams didn't even jump at the start of the game for the tip LOL.

 

[DelkBowl]

They both and can shoot the lights out and Chandler can't shoot at all, IMO. UK needs confident shooters who know how to win ... shooting the ball. That's all these two did they're entire HS careers.

They didn’t and we’re in there. High school is not the SEC.

 

[Catlogic15]

Pope please don’t bring in Perry or Chandler or Noah right now. But he will.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Love how officials are quick to try to take two points off the board for us but they sure as hell didn't want to put two back on for us.

I thought he had it off easily.

 

[GoNoles111]

They're shooting so bad..you have to get this win.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

He tapped it to UT, right? I was walking in the room.

Agreed , there was a play where Jaxson stood , like paralyzed , and didnt grab the ball.

 

[katwest]

It looks like Amari has to have extra motivation to put out. When you are his size, you have to play like it.

 

[Dreklie]

I went to the bathroom and come back to see us score like 13. I like it. Now KEEP. IT. UP.

go back to the bathroom immediately.

 

[DelkBowl]

Chandler played better defense than half the team. Hes offensively challenged but he’s physically able to hang in a game like this.

Brea is a massive liability if he isn’t hitting 5+ 3s.

Garrison is too big and athletic to no rebound and to be this poor defensively.

Statistically, Perry, Brea, Garrison are our only negative +- defensive players over the course of the year

Chandler didn’t guard anyone.

 

[ukwazoo]

I’m trying to figure out why ref doesn’t call Zeigler for a push off on that basket? WTF MAN?! Blatant. That is awful.

Because refs are nutless

 

[Basil Cat]

It will be interesting to see the lineup out of this TO

 

[4Frusciante#]

Let's not go blaming the refs. If you really watch the replay, we are fouling and grabbing. I know you think we should never get a foul called against us but damn man, our slowness and inability stay in front of a TN kid movig on a drive is our problem tonight and EVERY damn night. If you can't move your damn feet, you commit fouls.

I did not say UK didn't commit a single foul called and I do not think UK should never get fouls called on them. Everything you imagine isn't in somebody else's head. I was talking about fouls UT made that were not called. Do you really thing UK only committed 2 fouls in the first half.

 

[bbnkat02]

go back to the bathroom immediately.

lol. I might.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

I went to the bathroom and come back to see us score like 13. I like it. Now KEEP. IT. UP.

Go back to the bathroom

 

[chroix]

Right? We are down 2.5 players, and these dudes are complaining about substitution patterns. Smh

On the road. Number eight team in the country. No real wiggle room to start off with. Yet somehow…

 

[sefus12]

Even if he fouls, I am fine

But he just stands?

This is why I’ve said it all year. Williams has solid stats. But his stats feel like they have far less impact on the game than they would imply. He does so many things that hurt our momentum or makes mistakes at the worst times. Yea, the stats look great, but the actual impact on the game is nowhere near that good.

And you’ll NEVER convince me this guys was a 2x DPotY at a D3 school, let alone a D1 school.

 

[mhroe1984]

Williams stood there and watched 5’7 Zeigler shoot a freaking layup.

I was screaming the exact same thing.

 

[TortElvisII]

go back to the bathroom immediately.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Amari has found a defender he can beat

 

[darkshadesofblue]

European guys just don’t have bad blood

 

[Basscat1987]

Why more chandler?!?!? WHYYYYY
