***** Kentucky @ Arkansas Game Thread *****

[UKGrad24]

Aberdeen is such a black hole in those situations. May God call a time out and get a good look. The team is full of selfish black holes.

at least they came out to play.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

They can review that goaltend at halftime right?

 

[kyjeff1]

Great effort by the Cats. Blew some opportunities to really extend the lead, but I will take a halftime lead for sure.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

I’ll take that half.

 

[Drogon]

Aberdeen was fouled. On the wrist

 

[FreedomWallace]

Hey up by 7. Better then behind by 20.

Let’s go!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Kudos to Pope for having the players ready to play. If he did this more often we wouldn't have the issues we do.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

Can DA just kick on a drive. He did it one time and we got a 3.

 

[Rainmaker]

With a fair whistle we’d be up 15+, either way let’s come out firing in the 2nd half.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Surviving criminal officiating

 

[mash_24]

said the same thing DJ def shoved him down

He absolutely did and not even the hint of a look by the refs.

 

[true-blue1]

GOOD HALF!!!

[CatBearPig]

They’re a bunch of thugs.

 

[MaysviileKY]

Aberdeen refused to pass. No reason that you can’t get a good shot in 13 seconds!

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Once again, make Arkansas shoot 20 3s in the second half, no drives

 

[Larry00]

A well deserved shout out to Trent Noah in the first half!!

 

[JakeKx]

It’s nice to have a lead over the fighting Reed Sheppards. Hopefully we don’t throw it away

 

[katwest]

Brazile is such a *****

He’s usually hurt like a wimp, but this year he’s stayed healthy so far.

 

[WiseSerpent]

Looking more like the Arky jerkwad teams of the 1990s now.

 

[rick64]

Cal must have really improved his defensive coaching his players not to foul. Only 6 for Arkansas??!!

 

[HenryMuto]

Would have liked a bigger lead there to end the half but couldn't get a stop or a score in the final 35 seconds.

Up 7 doesn't feel like enough.

 

[HenryMuto]

Have now only led 3 times out of 19 games this year at the end of the half vs Major teams. Crazy stat.

No the rules have changed you have to challenge it.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Man, Aberdeen needs to practice floaters for 2 hours a day. He gets in the lane at will and misses like 80 percent of them.

He was fouled.

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

Absolutely horrible call

 

[Ukwazoo3]

No the rules have changed you have to challenge it.

Wtf didn't we challenge

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

Well, not being down by double digits is a huge improvement.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

They can review that goaltend at halftime right?

But I don't trust their judgement

 

[MaysviileKY]

I just don’t understand how Diabate cannot shoot outside 1 ft. He hustles and gets us stuff around the bucket but his shooting is atrocious!

 

[Seth_C]

Cal must have really improved his defensive coaching his players not to foul. Only 6 for Arkansas??!!

If he was still coaching Kentucky and we played like this team, all five starters would be sitting with 2 fouls.

 

[KyKevin]

No the rules have changed you have to challenge it.

It wasn't goaltending

 

[chattanogawildcat]

I just don’t understand how Diabate cannot shoot outside 1 ft. He hustles and gets us stuff around the bucket but his shooting is atrocious!

Agreed which is why he doesn't need to take shots outside of 1 ft.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

They’re going to make a run, hope Pope has an adjustment to counter. Keep taking it to them strong

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Looked clean and on its way up to me! Yeah, they’re supposed to. I think that was a rule change after we got screwed at home to LSU a few years ago.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Noah leading in rebounds

 

[JPFisher]

They’re going to make a run, hope Pope has an adjustment to counter. Keep taking it to them strong

If there's anything I trust Cal to do, it's to do the exact same thing coming out of half time, but telling his guys to try harder.

 

[ukfan042]

DJ a dirty MFer! Can’t believe we have fans who still like that bum!

 

[Mossip]

Stick with the guys that were locked in (Johnson should get cozy on the bench) and force them out to the three point line.

F.uck these hoes.
