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

[ala_kat2]

Nice move by Diallo! He is better when on the move.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Hami!! Finally gets a driving basket!!

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Not a bad half considering we have an abysmal officiating crew, and we are getting nothing from Knox.

 

[DM8]

Nice bucket there to end it. 5 point lead with Knox not scoring a point. Need to get him going in the second half and you guys can knock this W out.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Not bad not bad at all

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

We seem to move the ball better with Knox off the floor.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Woot hoot go cats go .

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

Did we always have those thingamajig on top of the backboard?

 

[justanotherguy505]

Reese averages 3.7 points, but has 10 at half. The Rupp effect.

 

[bbnkat02]

Everybody remember how good Bama was defensively last year? And how if they ever found offense they'd be dangerous? Well, they found offense.

Luckily, our defense is much much better too.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Is nick Richards Cals best FT shooting big since KAT?

 

[KyCatFan1]

Anyone expect 39 points at the half? That is surprising. Fouls are not. There were 20 (could have been more) in the first half. Only 27 in the Syracuse whole game.

 

[clew84]

What has happened to PJ?

Never mind - better last few there.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

The Cats played a solid half. It's just the inconsistency that kills us.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

glad bama is picking up some cheap fouls

Yet no call for muggings..see PJ.

 

[ORCAT10]

Played well most of the Auburn game. Nice first half, especially with Knox seeing limited minutes. Cats are turning the corner.

 

[Wildcatfan66]

We cannot let Bama come out and get a big run on us to start the 2nd half.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

We need Quade Green to get those 3's that Diallo missing. I'm not faulting Diallo, Green is just a better shooter.

100% agree. Hami gonna get his

 

[HenryMuto]

Knox 0 pts yet up 5 but Bama has missed a ton of open looks our D on the perimenter not flawless

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Told everybody Mich State was a fraud.

 

[zannmann]

Oklahoma sucks. Most overrated team in the country. How are they still ranked?

 

[rick64]

22-14 Cats on the glass. [thumb2]

 

[thebluestripes]

Win or lose, atleast our guys are actually playing hard....for now

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Told everybody Mich State was a fraud.

Feels like they are benefitting from a down year in the Big 10

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Oklahoma sucks. Most overrated team in the country. How are they still ranked?

Trae Young. And why they will get in the tournament, regardless of their record. He is a fun player to watch.

 

[new era cat]

Oklahoma sucks. Most overrated team in the country. How are they still ranked?

Because we have lost 4 in a r....

Oh wait!

 

[KyCatFan1]

Oklahoma sucks. Most overrated team in the country. How are they still ranked?

It is like they want to make Kansas look better winning that conference 150 times in a row by not dropping their teams in the rankings when they lose.

 

[Levibooty]

To me it looks like Knox was never taught what basketball defense is suppose to look like.

 

[John Henry]

Not a bad half considering we have an abysmal officiating crew, and we are getting nothing from Knox.

If we can win this game I don't care if he doesn't score a single point. We need a W bad

 

[MbergCat]

#2 Michigan State getting beat by 22 at the half by perennial powerhouse Northwestern.

 

[new era cat]

Win or lose, atleast our guys are actually playing hard....for now

Hami and PJ are making up for unforced errors with effort.
I'll take it...

 

[UK_fan_41102]

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Go cajuns

 

[KyCatFan1]

So what are the odds Bama comes out on like a 7-0 run to take the lead at the start of the half? I am hoping we can open up the lead to double digits and keep it there the rest of the game, but that is asking for a whole lot.

 

[John Henry]

OK here we go ready for the second half. 20 minutes of solid play and we can stop this dreadful losing streak. ON ON UK

I will take option 2 please.

 

[Bkocats]

I’m at work today so can’t watch the game live (recording it and keeping up with the score)
I’ll say Now: if we win this game, then I’ll not watch the next game live, either. If we win that one, I may not watch another live game this year

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Win the First 5 minutes
Dont let Petty get going
Keep playing hard
Make 3-3's
Dont turn it over

We are going to do those things and win this game.

 

[KYExtemper]

Gotta play better to start the second half. That has been a big struggle of ours the last few games.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Wildcats 39 points in the first half is our most before halftime since scoring 41 vs. Louisville.
