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

[SilentsAreGolden]

More big guys need to learn the Sikma.

That guy had the most unusual shot, but damn if he couldn't hit it.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

lol i know they are driving it to the hoop more this half but we cannot play zone.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Who the hell is playing the baseline on the zone? 2 straight lapses.

Someone is catching some Zzzz's on the baseline

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Do universities have a College of Barbering these days?

 

[TortElvisII]

This ain't our Grandfather's SEC either. Alabama is a solid team.

1976 Alabama almost beat IU in tournament. 1975 through 1977 they were very good.

 

[TheDude73]

How does Diallo start the second half over Green?

How does Diallo start the second half over Green?

NBA...

 

[new era cat]

Late late whistle. Waited to see if it went in or not.

Refs are going with the soccer advantage rule this game...

[ala_kat2]

Where is the “3” in the 2-3 Zone?

The 3 had to move out to cut off the driver. The 4 or 5 did not rotate to guard the basket.

 

[TortElvisII]

That guy had the most unusual shot, but damn if he couldn't hit it.

He created space.

 

[KyCatFan1]

What the hell was that defense.

Was there confusion on what defense we were in?

How many times are we going to leave them alone on the baseline?? Just stupid

Looked like a 4 man zone with Richards playing man on the replay. There should never be an empty area around the circle with no defender in the 2-3 zone.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Having a 5-point lead at halftime feels like a win.

 

[new era cat]

This team is just a dumb team. They are never in the right spot. It's either being extremely lazy or not being coached up

Don't see them being lazy this game so far...

 

[LineSkiCat14]

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

Starting lineups need to be tweaked. We did pretty well today with Gabriel starting, and that's even WITH Diallo in there too.

We just need guys starting who have been here before. Gabriel and Green should always get the start. They have their deficiencies, but they are our experience and true point guard..

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Richards gets lost in zone defense.

Richards gets lost all the time. That last 3, he switches off his man then leaves the shooter for no damn reason. Guy doesn’t understand defense at all.

 

[LXA_chop]

Did Vandy hit a hook?!?!?!?!?!? If we don't win this one, there is nothing that can be done

 

[gracetoyou]

Late late whistle. Waited to see if it went in or not.

Officials have done that crap all year. Like what, if it goes in its not a foul. Bad call

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

******* box out

 

[HenryMuto]

Fawking awful they miss 2 FT's and we give them a fawking 3 pointer

FAWKING AWFUL

 

[bbnkat02]

Devil's luck I swear.

 

[TheDude73]

Unreal. Missed both FTs, let’s not rebound and give them 3.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

rebounding

defensive rebounding SMFH

 

[clew84]

Richards is weak.

 

[Bellcat70]

Do universities have a College of Barbering these days?

I see what you did there.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

That is our season in a nutshell. They miss 2 FTs, get the rebound, kick it out for a 3.

 

[Jazzycat]

No court awareness on this team at all. Defensive breakdowns all over the court....this team’s lack of fundamental B.B. is going to continue to be the achille’s heel :grimace:

 

[HenryMuto]

Another charge this is getting out of hand. TURNOVERS AFTER TURNOVERS

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Can't get a rebound and costs us 3.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

I cannot believe Cal doesnt attack a ref over these charge calls, apparently we do it 500% more than any other team

 

[TheDude73]

This feels like another bad time of the game. Not putting them away and we may see a deficit soon...

 

[bbnkat02]

Ah, the Hess Effect is coming.

 

[FilsonCat]

Moral of the story is, just flop against UK. Moving or not, you'll get the call .

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Team make me sick

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

7 pt lead against Alabama's offense should hold up, but...........

 

[clew84]

So typical of the season that last two trips - outrebounded on the 2nd FT, charge on the other end.

 

[RoyKent]

We cannot get out of our own way. Feels like a big Bama run coming here

 

[TheDude73]

Cats about to fade.....again.

 

[HenryMuto]

What a joke Vandy blows a layup then we give up a dunk.

F THIS

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Jesus, box out..

Petty going off, go figure.

Take the lead on a sportscenter top10.. this damn team.

 

[jameslee32]

Someday, we will take a 2nd half charge on D ourselves.
