*****OFFICIAL Manhattan vs Kentucky Game Thread (MBB) ******

[Runt#1969]

If you can't see why I was sky high for "Big Chill" (Mom) coming, I think everyone can now. I was so stoked, he was the ONE player I wanted more than anyone. Knew he was gonna be a fav from the get go. He is proving it.

Feed Big Chill !

Go Big Blue !

 

[MaysviileKY]

Williams and Wilkins make a good backcourt.

 

[Cliffhanger82]

Nice!

 

[bbnkat02]

BOOM BABY!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wilkins is figuring it out. Hope Zoom does soon

 

[Cliffhanger82]

Great end to the half!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Great half.

 

[theBlues]

I just got here; I thought it was a pretty decent first half. The Cats are on pace to win by 52 so I can't imagine anybody has anything negative to say about the team tonight...

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Much more crisp on offense. Me like so far

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Good 1st half. Keep it up!!

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Pope does good at blowing out the cupcakes like he should

 

[Colts240]

Nice end to the half

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Wilkins is suspect on ball defense but he plays passing lanes well. Kinda like Sheppard, gambler but it works.

 

[JwUKFan11]

Having to watch Ndiaye chuck it all year is going to hurt.

 

[bbnkat02]

Great end to the half!

We've got good pieces. If he can coach them up. Who knows?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Doing what supposed to against a bad team. On pace for 96 is more like it.

 

[JimboBBN]

Hate to pile on the kid, but Wilkins and Mason are clearly the best passers in the team. Not sure what Diallo brings that the others don’t.

 

[philstat]

A damn good half

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Adjusted well and balling right now.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

Offense looks great to end the half. Not sure how good Manhattan is but we look way better today than against UCF

First Five Minutes SUCKED. But we got going. Pope seems very reserved and focused. I'll take that right now

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Kep looked glued to floor, doesn't jump at all, empty uniform

Franck is huge but I agree his has very little vertical or athleticism. Like he’s got that old man big game. 35 year old Patrick Ewing knees lol.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Having to watch Ndiaye chuck it all year is going to hurt.

Yep

 

[BigBluefoot]

Momo's shot is so pure and effortless
N-Diaye needs to shoot a lot less.

 

[HolySmokes]

Need the three injured players. Would like to see them added soon.

 

[BigBluefoot]

Neither did Larry Bird. (edit) I thought you were talking about MO for some.reason.
Yeah, Franck is no Larry Bird. Ha!

 

[Catastic5]

A blowout is what I was expecting, so it’s good to see Kentucky meet those expectations. I was a little worried when the game started.

KenPom Rakings:

Kentucky 22
Manhattan 315


Basically doing what we're supposed to do against them.

Beard helps out his look a lot. I respect him more just off that alone.

It DOES look good on him.

At The Half

Jaspers- 22
CATS- 48

Cats rolling

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Still don't understand if Morton is out for the season or not.

 

[BCD]

Yeah that cornfuses me too.

 

[Anon1751335390]

Loved our guard play that half. Williams, Wilkins, and Mom looked great! Zoom still needs to groove, but I'm hopeful.

 

[bbnkat02]

Now....I hope Pope doesn't call off the dogs. Need to torch them. Should be a 50+ win

Second Half Goals

1. NO INJURIES
2. Win by 35+ at least
3. Finish with 15+ 3s
4. 20+ Assists
5. Win

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Good ball movement and defensive intensity. Milo is money, an assassin. I am really tired of Pope's seeming inability to get his teams to open games with intensity, has been a problem ever since he's been here. We have a problem at the 4 spot N'Diaye can't shot doesn't rebound well and Kep just not athletic enough.

 

[SECualHealing]

Still don't understand if Morton is out for the season or not.

Jon Hood said we're really healthy! Well besides 3 players being out and Morton maybe out all year or maybe not.

 

[HolySmokes]

Franck is huge but I agree his has very little vertical or athleticism. Like he’s got that old man big game. 35 year old Patrick Ewing knees lol.

Need Frank down low waiting on Stokes

Still don't understand if Morton is out for the season or not.

Same. Initially heard it was season ending. Then the rumbles of he might return. Guess we have the same sources lol

 

[ComebackCats98]

Pretty good half all things considered after the slow start.
