UK vs Nicholls game thread

[ala_kat2]

Noah tweaks an ankle—should be back in 6 to 8 weeks

BTW, how in the hell do the stinky *** Cards have a whole squad of shooters and we don’t seem to have any.

Hate to say it but Kelsey may be a better in- game coach and motivator.

It’s the first game for both teams, I’m not to worried about it yet. They are fouling the heck out of us and it’s hard to get going when you are getting fouled so much and don’t have your point guard.

Fouls aren't making us miss wide open threes. Or FTs
Fouls aren't making us stand around like we're half-asleep

 

[gbl97]

At least we have the football team (1-0 in November).

 

[bbnkat02]

One day.....one day...this will be fun again.

 

[megablue]

Feels like we have too many players.

Feels like we don’t have any …

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Has oweh scored tonight?

 

[ala_kat2]

These game threads are hilarious. It's the first game, we will end up winning by 30 and the fan base is going nuts. Opening jitters and several guys never played for UK before in an opener. Relax guys Jeez

They should play better than this even if they never had 1 practice.

 

[Rainmaker]

Is it me or does Oweh look like he regressed? He seems like a shell of himself from last year. I still think pope has to trim the rotation to 8-9 tops once JQ and Lowe are back. Some of these guys will have to earn their way back in IMO. Lowe will be a game changer in my opinion if you also tighten the rotation.

 

[TheResistance]

Ehhh

 

[MonsterMash79]

Kinda look overrated as hell ..

 

[ZaytovenCat]

Pisses me off to no end at the amount of free throws this team is missing. It will absolutely cost us multiple games this year.

 

[BassProCat]

When did we turn into Tony Bennett and UVA ?!

 

[SteelerCat]

We're going to have to play a lot better than this to beat Louisville.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Our starting PG is out.

We are missing starters.

Of course we are going to look disjointed.

 

[Anon1759768907]

popes gotta start recruiting a little better man

 

[theBlues]

At least we have the football team (1-0 in November).

it feels good to be on a win streak

 

[ChicagoCat90]

The hack-a-Shaq strategy used to be effective. Teams might deploy the hack-a-any-player strategy on us of this is our team FT shooting.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

It’s okay, I feel a 60 point run coming in the second half!

 

[bleedsblue5]

When we get a guy pressing us full court we need to just blow by them. I feel like we are just playing slow

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Holy 2-16 for 3pts. That’s atrocious

This isn’t opening jitters, we have tons of veterans. They shouldn’t be scared of anything. This is some BS playing and I’m sorry but Pope needs to answer for how bad we look as a team already.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Going to try and focus on the positive: held them to 15 points in the first half!!! Yay defense!

 

[phyrekat01]

He meant taking out a player that had just gotten hot.

Don't worry about it. He's just got his jimmies rustled because someone made a disparaging remark about Cal

 

[UKWildcats1987]

JJ played well. That'd all I got. Lol

Brother, we look more decapitated than disjointed

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Some good defensive stuff agaisnt a putrid team, but our offense has first round exit energy

 

[chasingwildcat]

We looks like we can not make tournament...

 

[bbnkat02]

*blows air*

 

[TheBlueMist]

Glass half empty .... oof, our offensive looks slow and ugly!
Glass half full ... we held a team to 15 points in a half!

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Nice play there to finish.

 

[kybassfan]

My thought is this game is not the first workout they have had today. Dead legs.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

You can acknowledge the fact that we only scored 28 and shot like crap and looked awful on offense but also give credit to the fact Nichols is only sitting on 15 points.

 

[FredmanthecatfanAnon]

taking easy on the nets.

 

[BassProCat]

So Pope and Cats wait til the last play of the half to run and execute an actual set.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Did the Purdue game even happen? I am beginning to think it was a psy-op that embedded in our collective memories, but never happened.

Exhibitions mean nothing.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Lowe hurt, Aberdeen hurt, JQ hurt, Noah hurt, Oweh hurt

We are playing first game and we have already five players hurted

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

Five star freshman the star of the half. Let’s hit the transfer portal hard again Pope. Not one person on the team has a shot that looks smooth besides Johnson . Whole team has a hitch.

 

[megablue]

Hate to say it but Kelsey may be a better in- game coach and motivator.

I think that has always been obvious, to be honest.

 

[anon1777473514]

This isn’t opening jitters, we have tons of veterans. They shouldn’t be scared of anything. This is some BS playing and I’m sorry but Pope needs to answer for how bad we look as a team already.

I’m reserving all out anger for second half, but that first half was beyond unacceptable.

 

[BassProCat]

popes gotta start recruiting a little better man

Or maybe Coach better
