If you can't see why I was sky high for "Big Chill" (Mom) coming, I think everyone can now. I was so stoked, he was the ONE player I wanted more than anyone. Knew he was gonna be a fav from the get go. He is proving it.

Feed Big Chill !

Go Big Blue !

Williams and Wilkins make a good backcourt.

Cliffhanger82 · Tuesday at 6:46 PM

Nice!

bbnkat02 · Tuesday at 6:46 PM

BOOM BABY!

MidseasonTweak · Tuesday at 6:46 PM

Wilkins is figuring it out. Hope Zoom does soon

Cliffhanger82 · Tuesday at 6:46 PM

Great end to the half!

The_Answer1313_rivals · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Great half.

theBlues · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

I just got here; I thought it was a pretty decent first half. The Cats are on pace to win by 52 so I can't imagine anybody has anything negative to say about the team tonight...

darkshadesofblue · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Much more crisp on offense. Me like so far

Catfan in Tn. · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Good 1st half. Keep it up!!

cornbreadnmilk · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Pope does good at blowing out the cupcakes like he should

Colts240 · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Nice end to the half

*Fox2Monk* · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Wilkins is suspect on ball defense but he plays passing lanes well. Kinda like Sheppard, gambler but it works.

JwUKFan11 · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Having to watch Ndiaye chuck it all year is going to hurt.

We've got good pieces. If he can coach them up. Who knows?

UKWildcats1987 · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Doing what supposed to against a bad team. On pace for 96 is more like it.

JimboBBN · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Hate to pile on the kid, but Wilkins and Mason are clearly the best passers in the team. Not sure what Diallo brings that the others don’t.

philstat · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

A damn good half

chattanogawildcat · Tuesday at 6:47 PM

Adjusted well and balling right now.

PooPooPeePeePoo · Tuesday at 6:48 PM

Offense looks great to end the half. Not sure how good Manhattan is but we look way better today than against UCF

First Five Minutes SUCKED. But we got going. Pope seems very reserved and focused. I'll take that right now

Kep looked glued to floor, doesn't jump at all, empty uniform

Franck is huge but I agree his has very little vertical or athleticism. Like he’s got that old man big game. 35 year old Patrick Ewing knees lol.

Yep

BigBluefoot · Tuesday at 6:50 PM

Momo's shot is so pure and effortless
N-Diaye needs to shoot a lot less.

HolySmokes · Tuesday at 6:50 PM

Need the three injured players. Would like to see them added soon.

Neither did Larry Bird.

(edit) I thought you were talking about MO for some.reason.
Yeah, Franck is no Larry Bird. Ha!

Catastic5 · Tuesday at 6:51 PM

A blowout is what I was expecting, so it’s good to see Kentucky meet those expectations. I was a little worried when the game started.

Basically doing what we're supposed to do against them.

Beard helps out his look a lot. I respect him more just off that alone.

It DOES look good on him.

At The Half

Jaspers- 22
CATS- 48

Cats rolling

Still don't understand if Morton is out for the season or not.

Yeah that cornfuses me too.

Anon1751335390 · Tuesday at 6:54 PM

Loved our guard play that half. Williams, Wilkins, and Mom looked great! Zoom still needs to groove, but I'm hopeful.

bbnkat02 · Tuesday at 6:54 PM

Now....I hope Pope doesn't call off the dogs. Need to torch them. Should be a 50+ win

Second Half Goals

1. NO INJURIES
2. Win by 35+ at least
3. Finish with 15+ 3s
4. 20+ Assists
5. Win

Artlaibesghost · Tuesday at 6:54 PM

Good ball movement and defensive intensity. Milo is money, an assassin. I am really tired of Pope's seeming inability to get his teams to open games with intensity, has been a problem ever since he's been here. We have a problem at the 4 spot N'Diaye can't shot doesn't rebound well and Kep just not athletic enough.

Jon Hood said we're really healthy! Well besides 3 players being out and Morton maybe out all year or maybe not.

Need Frank down low waiting on Stokes

Same. Initially heard it was season ending. Then the rumbles of he might return. Guess we have the same sources lol

ComebackCats98 · Tuesday at 6:55 PM

Pretty good half all things considered after the slow start.
