***Official Game Thread***

[UKWildcats#8]

People are so results oriented. Sure we had a big lead, Tennessee happened to start making shots. 3 threes in a row. We are winning by 5 at the half. WE ARE WINNING. Jesus man some people are never happy. Go Cats!

Some UK fans think we should blow everyone out every game every season. It's rinse and repeat there.

If people are freaked out by this, wait til next week when we lose a big lead in the NCAA Tourney opener. This bunch isn't going to blow anyone out from here on out until the season ends IMO. They are too young and inexperienced to maintain focus for 40 mins against higher quality teams like UT.

 

[CELTICAT]

Don't forget the 21 pt lead we blew at Tennessee a couple years ago.

I’m not!

 

[morgousky]

How many GD games against UT are we going to have where we piss away a lead and get our asses kicked down the stretch?

Cal saves his timeouts.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

A lot of this is officiating which is giving Tenn points, and taking out guys out of the game..

Chances are, you won't see this abd officiating from here on out.. SEC play is done.

 

[Jakarii]

Cal needs someone who’s gonna draw fouls. SGA is great at avoiding contact, Knox shoots nothing but jumpers, nick isn’t a offensive option, Wenyen shoots jumpers, Quade the same, PJ draws contact but he was in foul trouble. Tenn has aggressive players who look for contact which is why they are getting to the line. Pretty sure we can count on one had how many players have gone to the rim drawing contact

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

All I would ask is if physical play is being called, then call it on them, too.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

TN picked up their defense and Schofield got hot from 3.

We took bad shots and fumbled the ball out of bounds. More on us than them.

 

[caneintally]

Amazing how as soon as things go south for UK so many fans start blaming the refs. UT got back in the game because Kentucky forgot to guard Scofield, not because of the refereees. C'mon Man!

It was both . But for sure UK needs to tighten up on Admiral.

Not really. The refs are bad, if the refs are bad. They were bad yesterday, and I complained when we were blowing out Bama. They are bad again today.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Doug Shows and John Higgins are in a boat and it's sinking. Who is saved?

College basketball.

I’m happy for the sharks.

 

[jameslee32]

We have to guard the 3 but if Schofield wants to play out there, I'm good with that. The biggest problem to me, even when the shots were falling, is the ball getting stuck. Too much dribbling. Too many silly turnovers late.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

We will regroup at halftime. Stomp a hole in em Cats!

WG did once, but he is very weak taking it to the hole.

 

[Cat in ga]

Chill.

We get P.J. back in the 2nd half.

For 5 minutes maybe.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

8 - 1 fouls on the bigs and suckytop makes a run...

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Tennessee just played harder than the Cats did. There were a couple of calls but that was all about the Cats not responding to match UTs intensity the last 7-8 minutes

 

[stoneycat_20]

PJ & Diallo combine for a big 0

 

[ZaytovenCat]

God, can't wait unti UT sucks again next year.

Well that ain’t gonna happen. If anything they’ll be even better. They’ll have basically the entire team back.

 

[65pacecar]

. Not to mention blaming the refs prior to the start of the game.

 

[TortElvisII]

Quade has not hardly scored in St Louis


Need him to step up.

 

[KyFaninNC]

How do physical players like schofield and Williams get by with so few fouls called??

Because most our fouls are by using hands. Reaching, grabbing. We don’t use our feet and bodies.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Again, we had bench players guarding him when he went off. Why were we playing bench players?

 

[KyCatFan1]

Anybody got a foul count?

10 to 6 with us having 10. I believe we have 2 players with 3 and 1 with 2. All inside players. We need to get a big football player type. Tired of getting banged around by them and getting called for more fouls.

 

[bbnkat02]

Well that ain’t gonna happen. If anything they’ll be even better. They’ll have basically the entire team back.

Great. Hopefully we get a couple of our guys back. Bruce Pearl at Auburn was the best thing ever to happen to UT.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

This exactly!

 

[mash_24]

Are you saying the UK players got paid to give Admiral wide open jumpers? Because that’s the reason the lead got cut to 5 or are you not watching the game?

UT reached double bonus. UK didn't reach bonus. Not sure why you post here but you know way less than you think you do.

 

[RoyKent]

This sums it up

 

[mdlUK.1]

Because most our fouls are by using hands. Reaching, grabbing. We don’t use our feet and bodies.

Sure. Fouling with the body is never called. Smh

 

[CincyUKFan]

33-18

Green with ill-advised pass.
We get a stop and then Knox dribbles off his foot.
Wenyen leaves Schofield wide open.

This sequence of events changed the game.

I hope we can recover.

 

[Monroe Claxton]

How long has Admiral Sienfeld been at Tennessee?

 

[carolinacat]

Don't watch the ball on rebounding action...watch the inside play and you'll see Scofield and Williams pushing and grabbing every play.

 

[USSLair]

Screw the refs

 

[fisherscat]

Don't watch the ball on rebounding action...watch the inside play and you'll see Scofield and Williams pushing and grabbing every play.

Brutal last 4 minutes of the 1st half. Hope the young Cats aren't rattled. Need to get off to a good start in the 2nd half.

 

[CatCrazyChuk]

Of course Barnes says they just gave us 8-10 points Lol

Barnes was pretty salty...

 

[LadyCaytIL]

If the officiating keeps up... the fans should just walk out .... there are 7 pts that Tenn scored after non travel calls......... and then in that time the refs called us twice for it........

Please explain away Gabriel's last foul to quality officiating. Fudging ridiculous. Could see this one coming early in the half. Officials controlling the game by calling multiple fouls on all our Bigs. UT had one foul called on a big.... the guy had to tackle Richards for them not to choke on the whistle

 

[Calsthebomb]

Not really. The refs are bad, if the refs are bad. They were bad yesterday, and I complained when we were blowing out Bama. They are bad again today.

Letting a guy score 15 points in 5 minutes is what hurt us

 

[ukwildcat2004]

WG foul was becaus he was taller....dumb.

 

[bbnkat02]

A foul is a foul is a foul. Unfortunately, some officials don't call it both way. Nothing more infuriating to a coach or fan than seeing your guy get mugged, and then your team get called for a hand check.

 

[USSLair]

Well that ain’t gonna happen. If anything they’ll be even better. They’ll have basically the entire team back.

Hey it's a anti Cal fan
