*****FINAL FOUR TIME - Game Thread*****

[c-a-t-s-f-a-n]

Kenny Smith still acting like a *****. Can't stand that chump

 

[Crawfords Corner]

We won the first 3 segments. AU won the last 2.

AU scored 10 of their 30 points after the last TV Time out.

 

[bbnkat02]

Had a chance to create separation and didn’t. Looking like a tight, grind it out game. Gotta hope the young Cats stay poised

Every game we’ve had in this tournament minus the first one (which doesn’t really count) has been a dang rock fight. As long as we winI don’t care but dang

 

[Comebakatz3]

Need to dominate the paint and stop shooting so many threes.

 

[TheDude73]

Baker with 2 fouls (including the one on the 3 shot) in, what, 3 minutes?

That one on Baker on the three was horse crap. Dude flung his knee out and flopped.

Refs are falling for all of them.

 

[CAT fan in Chapel Hill]

Hagans is hurting us. He needs to slow down and become the distributor and take care of the ball.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

You're right he does. I was just aggravated with him on a couple of possessions.

It’s almost heartbreaking when he misses an open shot because you know what he’s capable of.

 

[Burly]

Travis has fumblitis çannot secure a rebound -PJ is out of position to offensive rebound - we are playing so tight

 

[JessHoople]

Why pick and roll at damn near the half court line? Travis is setting a half assed pick, the guard isn't looking at him anyway and it gets Travis way out of position. He should be working to get open on the block, not running around the perimeter

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Trying to watch the game and this idiot is stalking me. Stfu and watch the game.

 

[wromanp7]

Props to Keldon for 7 boards in 1st half.

 

[HenryMuto]

Can't hit them all but those late FT misses hurt and those 2 Herro wide open 3's he missed.

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

Travis needs to get going..

First someone needs to get him the ball

 

[Seth_C]

Herro was super medium when he was in. Herro has nothing to do with it right now, we need someone who can stay in front of Harper.

You weren’t watching the game I was. Herro didn’t shoot well but he was super active on offense, especially passing the ball into the paint in position to score.

 

[Stonewall12]

He’s 2-6 and 1-4. What game are you watching lol.

He could go 7-7 in the second half lol lol lol

Steph curry missed shot sometimes and nobody runs him down.

Fvcking bvtches ITT

 

[IbnSaran]

the baker 4 point mistake caused a shift in momentum. At least Hagans hit that 3 so we are not tied at the half.

 

[akaukswoosh]

 

[CatsRWild]

Hagans mistakes Keeping the opponent in it again.

Harpers making him his ***** or were up 15.

Ashton must play better or they will start hitting on 3s and we’re in trouble.

 

[I bleed big blue]

We are up 5. Time go back to original gameplan and emphasize execution. And scream bloody murder in locker room. Yall giving up on yourself now? All i see is gym rats. Why not during game? Guys? Whats the thinking process here. Lol

 

[rick64]

 

[blubo]

Hagans with the big 3 and we didn’t let them get 2 of those back.

I don’t know what the rebounding numbers look like, but we coughed away a few of them. We gotta dominate the glass. Can’t give Auburn multiple chances.

Also have to do a better job of feeding the post.

uk 20-15, but only 4 off reb

 

[kyjeff1]

Everyone just packs the lane on us because they know we only make a few threes per game. It's the same thing every year.

It's really tough to carve out space in the lane with 5 defenders in there.

I know we have some people in here saying we're jacking threes (which I don't get), but we have to make some to open up the paint

 

[bbnkat02]

God I hate halftime. Let’s go.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

We didn't take advantage of so many opportunities Seems like the only guy with his head in the game is PJ. Ashton luckily got that 3 because he seems out of it and like the ball is coated in butter. Auburn did what they said they would do which was something different. They aren't settling for 3s and why should they when they can get layups. UK is going to have to make that adjustment at the half and this team needs to wake the F up! Honestly, thank God Auburn wasn't hitting because we played bad. If they start draining 3s in the 2nd half and we play like this we will be going home. Baker can't be in a game like this. Give a guy a 4 point play, are you F-ing kidding me. WAKE UP CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Wildcats1st]

We re in trouble here. We aren’t hitting shots, turning the ball over and auburn has yet to get hot. Big time blown half.

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Auburn is play defense with a lot of hands. Could have double the fouls.

 

[jameslee32]

Cal has no instincts in the NCAA Tournament.

All-time UK leader in NCAA Tournament wins!

 

[katwest]

I still can't get over the fact we have two guys bigger than anybody they have and we can't use them. Two 5 star players sitting on the bench and can't be effective, they have to do something for us to win.

 

[kyjeff1]

I'm surprised ESPN didn't hire CBS to do a split screen showing Zion in the locker room and in warm ups .

Just need a few to fall early in the half

 

[Levibooty]

We're missing wide open threes and we are not passing well inside the arc.

 

[GLR5555]

Damn we must be down 10 after reading this thread.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Kenny Smith still acting like a *****. Can't stand that chump

Chuck told him that his team has gone fishing

It's coming. You just know it!

Our D was part of that for awhile.
We have to come out and match their intensity.

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

True. I think I depend on him way too much and get aggravated when he misses a shot or a play. He is so crucial to our success. I love all of them but Herro is special!

 

[TrustinCal]

Got to keep up that defensive intensity. They weren't comfortable getting shots. Let's go Cats!

 

[c-a-t-s-f-a-n]

Chuck told him that his team has gone fishing

They ain't in class

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Let's finish this last 20 mins keep playing good DEFENSE!
