********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[SilentsAreGolden]

I despise games where they call a foul every possession.

 

[mhroe1984]

Diallo do you freakin realize that there are 4 other guys out there on the court with you?? I mean, come on dude!

 

[mkasten25]

As long as sga doesn’t pick up a stupid 4th early I like our chances

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

Pass the ball up Diallo!
We need you to get it going!

 

[HenryMuto]

Is this the night our 3 point streak ends ?

How many times have we not made a 3 pointer in the 1st half during the streak ?

Zero 3 pointers in the 1st half tonight.

 

[RoyKent]

thought Knox made one early on?

Box score says UK is 0 for 4

 

[Cat in ga]

Vanderbilt is the best point guard on the team. Best player on the team. Took less than a half to figure that out.

 

[StormCruzzer]

More excited to watch Vanderbilt now than I’ve ever been to watch any Kentucky player. The man is monster! Looks like a Ben Simmons type player so far with more energy and intensity

 

[kevcat]

If Jarred shows he can hit shots he's a top 10 player in the draft

Slow your roll CC.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

A lot of duke like flops going on tonight what a joke

 

[KyCatFan1]

Vanderbilt's artificial leg hasn't slowed him down. Might make him even faster.

 

[ukfan041]

USCjr is some fouling fools

 

[ck-2]

I'd say Diallo will give this team a tongue lashing at halftime

 

[Bkocats]

We hit one earlier, Knox I believe.

No turns out that was a long two
No threes yet

 

[zannmann]

Well, up at half after that ref **** show. I will take it.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I already love JV

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

We’re down 6-7 without JV if not more ..

Wow great thing he was ‘ready’

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Hear that? Refs called a foul while they were in the tunnel.

 

[Jakarii]

Anyone else notice that defense by JV especially once his man didn’t have the ball and was trying to get open??? Hopefully PJ and Knox was watching that because that’s how you guard your man!!!!!

 

[Cat in ga]

Diallo just took his first charge of the year. To bad it was by his own player. Making progress.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Only thing about JV is his motor is maybe a little too high. He's gonna get a lot of charges and turnovers, at least for a while. Love him though.

 

[kyjeff1]

No turns out that was a long two
No threes yet

Oops, I have the sound off while I'm talking on the phone.

 

[MojoYamamoto]

If you told me SGA would have 3 fouls and we would still have 3 point lead at half, I would have taken it.

 

[rautry2]

JV’s passing ability is going to take this team to the next level baby!!! Let’s go !! #VANDO4NAISMITH

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Aside from the slow start.. Kentucky is up by 10 or 12 otherwise. We played very well over the last 16 min.. All things considered.

 

[RoyKent]

12 turnovers and 15 fouls by UK. Only 10 made baskets.

Yuck

 

[blubo]

I despise games where they call a foul every possession.

Then you hate a whole bunch of sec games.

 

[bbnkat02]

USC shooting 33% overall, 21% from three and 55% from the FT line.

If we could stop fouling and turning the ball over we would be up 15.

Turnovers are on us. The refs are salivating to blow the whistle. USC living at the line early. Thank God they’ve gone cold.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

I could have sworn Kevin Knox hit a 3. Was it a long 2?

 

[kevcat]

We are really missing Quade. Evident by the Brad mins. Lol

Cmon, he’s been ok. Just needs to hit some jump shots.

 

[Comebakatz3]

thought Knox made one early on?

Nope. 0-4 so far.

 

[kennywalker34]

I despise games where they call a foul every possession.

Yep zero flow kills the game. SC SHOOTING LIKE 10% Refs keeping them in it from foul line. Typical NCAA road game. Refs get off on home crowd cheering the calls.

 

[Cats_2010]

No doubt JV is going to make this team better. He is a basketball player, period!!!

 

[OldRed]

No turns out that was a long two
No threes yet

We haven't even gotten any clean looks at a 3 that I can remember. We may not get a clean one until we foul out a few USC players.

 

[Soupbean]

Vanderbilt IS OUR DIFFERENCE MAKER. He's already doing a ton more than Diallo and Knox combined!

Because he has twice the energy of both those guys

 

[Cindog28]

Trae Young with 8 points and 8 turnovers at halftime against KSU?!?

Yikes.

 

[dckala2_rivals16641]

Vando dropping dimes. Really needed another body

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Slow your roll CC.

Why? It's the biggest knock on him. What you're seeing flashes off if stuff scouts already know about him. He's thought of as a Point forward. The knock is can he hit in the mid-range and from deep.

 

[caneintally]

JV saved our bacon in that half . His pg skills were vital with the foul trouble . I would have him come in when Alexander goes out . JV is way better then this but even now he is one of our best. Love it as all those insane complains have to shut the F up. A man has to come around at his pace and he finally is ready to play like everyone knew he eventually would be.

Box score says UK is 0 for 4

Score went from 5 to 8. Guess they might have looked at it and changed the score back.

Check that, it was 6 to 8.
