*** UK vs Vermont Game Thread ***

[Ugoff]

Spread 12.5. I predict a 10 point win.

 

[TortElvisII]

We need to guard are yard lest we wind up on the back of Jimmy's Jet.

 

[Bkocats]

Good news is our fg % is 52
Ft% is 81

We’ve also attempted 16 FT to their four
They’re shooting 45% fg btw

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

whats our FT shooting today? Feels like we're killing it at the line

81.3% Darn good!

 

[richbrookstomato]

Kids hate shooting the 8 ft jumper, WHY???

It's a deadly weapon for a kid that can get to any spot he wants and it takes away the charge call. Shai should have pulled up on that last drive, but he just had to take it deeper and ran the shot clock out.

So we played a zone pretty effective the first game, 2nd half tonight Vermont is scoring at will and haven't changed defense up a bit. This is where Cal frustrates me to no end.

Freshman gonna be Freshmen. College guards are faster off the bounce than HS guards. It's going to take a while for our guys to learn how to position their bodies and shut down opposing guards.

I’m thinking if the score were closer we would
But while we have the cushion it’s going to be man

 

[MarkPftw]

This team is already showing a willingness to be coached and listen to the Coach when it comes to defense than that ridiculous "ME" UK group/"team" of last season. I like this team.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

terrible shot from washington, they make a three
rinse, repeat

 

[clew84]

Think the kids will learn to close out at some point?

 

[LadyCaytIL]

"Their hands have to get hot". What??!

 

[Wildcatfan66]

ZONE

 

[kyjeff1]

Lettin' em crawl back in it.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

defense is horrendous

ample opportunity to end this game, about to only be up 7

 

[ukfan041]

Is that carved turkey? Oh, never mind...that’s our D!

 

[Bkocats]

I thought he said high lol

Bko, it’s getting a little too close for me now.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Just spreading the floor and creating offense. Got to play better defense and rotate!!

 

[GnarlsBarkley]

We're a tad soft in the middle

 

[Bkocats]

We do need a lot of work on our defense though
Ugh

 

[KyFaninNC]

Stubborn Cal refuses to play zone to stop the threes

 

[bookerfan66]

Green is so much better this half.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Nice jumper by SKJ.

 

[Bkocats]

Damn those whistles are quick lol

 

[kyjeff1]

Anybody seen Knox?

 

[richbrookstomato]

Wenyan is still weak and can't get position on either end. I was hoping those pictures of him looking bigger meant he was stronger.

 

[Bkocats]

Bko, it’s getting a little too close for me now.

Me too friend
Not overly nervous yet but feeling a little edgy

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

You don't zone a hot 3 pt shooting team.

 

[Bkocats]

Anybody seen Knox?

He went off to build a fort :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Can't wait for Vanderbilt to come back and get his minutes.

? In regards to last year. We ended up being the 2nd best team in the country.

 

[Wildcatfan66]

I wonder why Cal hasn't at least tried Zone a trip or two? Maybe he is sandbagging Kansas, LOL..

 

[Cats_2010]

Problem with that is a 10-12 point game iOS a very small cushion. Can be a one possession game in a heartbeat. We are letting them hang around and that is how you lose games you should win.

Zone gives up threes...

exactly

 

[ala_kat2]

Anybody seen Knox?

Yes, I just saw him miss another shot. His minutes in 2nd half have been limited though. I'm not sure the effort is there good enough right now for Knox.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

garbage

 

[richbrookstomato]

PITIFUL giving up an off. reb on a missed FT!!!:weary:

 

[bookerfan66]

exactly

It seems so obvious and yet people keep demanding it.Hilarious.
