****** OFFICIAL USCjr vs Kentucky Game Thread ******

[Digger-Cat]

He's been brilliant today with his passing.

And he has been good in the paint, just need him to get back on track from the outside.

 

[rick64]

Jax and Butler both out.

 

[RoyKent]

Glad Dickie V is coming back!

 

[SophiesDad]

Nice bounce back win for the Cats albeit still banged up. Could not afford to lose this one. Would love to beat Tennessee again Tuesday night. Would almost get the Arkansas taste out of my mouth

 

[LmdCat]

This winning thing is fun!! It’s like, so much better than losing!.

I think there are a few on this board who will disagree with you.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Today, the defense ignited the offense.

Hopefully moving forward this kick starts the defense!

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Hold the ball on offense. Don't let them eclipse 55 points.

Situationally, I don't know why they're still running their quick offense.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Expect a FT contest the rest of the way.

Down 22 I doubt they foul very much. Unless the coach bet the over ???

 

[TheDude73]

Sorry Poole, once we blew it open you had to call it fair and square. Your new boat will have to wait.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Wish Brea would do that more ofyen

Yeah if we can get a healthy roster, keep this kind of defensive intensity and Koby playing like this we might be onto something.

 

[bbnkat02]

Hold the ball on offense. Don't let them eclipse 55 points.

Don't think refs will let that happen.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

We really needed this game

 

[CondorCat]

Solid game by Brea today...

 

[bbnkat02]

Down 22 I doubt they foul very much. Unless the coach bet the over ???

Line was 11 I think. I expect it to even up.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Glad Dickie V is coming back!

I am too but can you imagine him doing the Duke/Flagg game? Don’t think I can handle that. But yea , glad he’s better and back.

 

[NociHTTP]

Hopefully moving forward this kick starts the defense!

I know it's SC, but if the inside game and defensive effort is a real thing going forward, then I feel MUCH better about our chances come March.

 

[ala_kat2]

Guess Perry will only get mop-up minutes today. The way SC is missing shots it might have been a good day to play Perry. But, Coach knows best.

 

[SophiesDad]

Indiana sucks

 

[LmdCat]

I wouldn’t leave him open as he will shoot above 40 % from 3.

It is amazing that those who criticize Brea overlooks the amount of defense he has to deal with every game. Those who complain might consider leaving him open, but I can assure you no opposing coach will leave him open.

 

[CatEye2010]

Glad Dickie V is coming back!

Yeah, pUKe needs another slurper

 

[SophiesDad]

Would be nice for the Jailhawks to drop one today

 

[bbnkat02]

Someone in this thread owes Oregon an apology for the jinx.

 

[HenryMuto]

Too bad South Carolina choked vs Auburn and Florida their win would be worth a lot more

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

If you're a Kentucky fan, you got to feel good about today. Butler looks good. Robinson's and Carr's injuries look manageable.

Just get healthy and steal another one from Tennessee on Tuesday.

 

[billoliver40]

I think Brea removes himself from so many scoring opportunities. Anyone else notice that he just moves around as a scoring option but doesn't make himself a viable scoring option?

Dunno if Brea has the ability to create his own shot. Likely a reason he was back this year. If so he hasn’t helped his cause much.

 

[sam_o]

Defensive effort so much better today. Encouraging

 

[bbnkat02]

Too bad South Carolina choked vs Auburn and Florida their win would be worth a lot more

Even as crappy as they are....still a Q3 win. Welcome to the SEC

He has played well today

Probably, but Perry has had his time to prove himself. I have no issues with Pope tightening up his rotation. Perry will get stronger and better.

 

[megablue]

We got out of the 60’s … so now we will win !!

 

[HenryMuto]

How come we didn't get to see these announcers eat ice cream like they have to show EVERY SINGLE TIME Bilas calls a game

 

[RoyKent]

Solid bounce back game. Just keep getting healthy.

3 pt shooting needs to pick up

 

[FirewithFire]

Announcers have been pretty good today as well. Wouldn't mind to get them for a few more games.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Line was 11 I think. I expect it to even up.

I am talking about being down 22 points, under 4 to go, no need to foul. By the way, the over has nothing to do with the spread.

 

[HenryMuto]

Sadly this is only a quad 3 win so it won't count for anything as far as NCAA seeding goes

 

[TortElvisII]

We just need 31 points for me to win the prediction contest.

 

[RoyKent]

Oweh came alive this second half!!

 

[LmdCat]

This lousy defensive team has held USC below 50 points with 3 minutes left.

 

[bbnkat02]

lol......did Amari sneeze on him?

 

[megablue]

Surprised no clock …
