******Cats v. Commodores Official Game Thread******

[wccat]

Don't believe you can play CJ. Bad low post passer, no defense and refuses to shoot (or can't get open) so what is his contribution?

 

[jameslee32]

Don't expect calls in this tournament. Have to win it despite the officials.

 

[chroix]

We get no tourney wins again this year and this off season is going to be tense af.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

I can't wait till all of this bunch is GONE, just not winners, tourney record proves it

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

Cal gonna ride or die with Livingston.

Time for Collins.

 

[ck-2]

With all of the resources and scholarships he has, CCC doesn’t have 1-2 guys he can sub in.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

What the f@@k would you do?

Keep committing flagrants that Ray Charles could see

 

[59coop]

The refs aren’t leaving guys wide open from three.

They also aren't calling Vandy hanging all over our players.

 

[kyjeff1]

All those people wasted money to go to Nashville, to watch vandy get whatever they want offensively and make Kentucky look bad. Stackhouse had owned cal these last two games

Wait until the 3 minutes he gives us in his post game press conference.

 

[OmahaCats]

It’s insane how well teams shoot and in general how well they play against us. I watch Kansas and Duke play and teams they play against actually do miss some open shots. Not against us though. 18% shooter? No problem. Swish.

Lol keep telling yourself that

 

[GuyFromKY]

Hey Cal, MAKE A DEFENSIVE ADJUSTMENT!! PLEASE!!!!!! ZONE! PLEASE!!!!

 

[johndeerefan]

UK was outscored 35-20 the last 13:00 of the half. How does that happen?

Bad defense

 

[HagginHall1999]

This is almost a carbon copy of game at Rupp.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

This game has zero indication on how they’ll do in the tournament

Yeah keep telling yourself, whistling thru the graveyard fella

 

[megablue]

No it is Cals fault just like the last time they beat us. They went to a small line up last time and ate us alive, Cal had to onow they would do it again, no answer and they eat us alive again

No different than St. Peter’s.
Small and quick … we CANNOT guard them.

 

[bbnkat02]

honestly does anybody not expect this to happen next weekend

So ready for next March; either Cal wins the title and leaves. Or he just leaves.

Sick of this.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

With all of the resources and scholarships he has, CCC doesn’t have 1-2 guys he can sub in.

His tactic of saving scholarships screws us again!

 

[katwest]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a player of the year get rode like a horse and it’s not a foul. Oscar needs a saddle because the officials let the person guarding him ride him and Bear hug him and refuse to call a foul when it is plain as hell!

 

[WildcatsAndBourbon_rivals395121]

Someone asked earlier how Vandy keeps winning games. The answer to that is that Vandy plays without short term memory. I hate to say it, but I like that about this year’s Vandy team. They don’t think about the flow of the game two minutes ago or how broken a possession is; they just keep playing. Each play is its own play. That’s a rare trait across all of sports at any level.

 

[mcwildcats04]

We led by 7 with 3 minutes left in the half and they go on 12-0 run.

Unreal

Fredrick was terrible. Horrible passing. Got blown right by for a layup. Can't make any shots.

 

[UKwootwoot]

Cow watched tons of tape this week on The Alaskan Wild. Apply that sonehow?

If what you’re saying is “Kill them, the refs won’t call anything” then I agree

 

[Burly]

Crowd in frenzy up 14-4 and Cal subs Ware - nobody stops a beat down more than this guy

Vandy knows we can’t guard quickness and skill-
Bigs mean absolutely nothing in modern ball
Vandy puts 5 triple threat players on the floor and just beats us off dribble and gets us chasing
Not much we can do - with out Wheeler we can’t match up
Oscar has no desire to defend
Vandy absolutely lighting our defense up

 

[tls]

At least Vandy gets the slippery end this half

 

[Farsight]

Cal started the momentum killer when he put in Ware. He couldn't guard his man and had two turnovers for a momentum killer when UK should be up by 10+ right now.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

We lose this one and I expect to go home in the first round again in the NCAA Tournament. This team just can't win consistently with poor shooting, bad defense, and Cal's moronic substitutions.

We are going home first round next week regardless.

 

[bbnkat02]

This game has zero indication on how they’ll do in the tournament

We about lost to Vandy last year in this very game. And lo and behold guess what happened?!

Damn, this is frustrating as hell.

 

[fs-ripcord65]

QUESTION: I saw the first several minutes, and then had to leave. I think Frederick was substituted in early, like at the 4-minute time out. Who came out when Frederick went in ? Was it Livingston who came out ? If so ... why did CCC take Livingston out of the game. What did he do to get yanked to the bench ?
If that's not what happened, somebody just tell me why Frederick came in, because he was useless for the next few minutes that I was able to watch.

 

[BabyBlue54]

Am I the only one who thinks Jacob Toppin looks like the black version of Hayden Christensen.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

It would be embarrassing to be the only top 4 seed to not make Saturday.

 

[Catlogic15]

I don’t think we’ll lead the second half. That’s why I couldn’t get excited for post season. We lost 11 games after all and love to throw clunkers.

 

[ukwazoo]

Reeves was solid but had 2 fouls, so cal sat him and we stopped scoring. Hate the 2 foul rule.

 

[ukjenning44]

Can we trade coaches at the half?

 

[TortElvisII]

Almost every replay of their threes has a UK player running out too late.

 

[megablue]

If they don't stop showing this damn Dr. Pepper commercial I'm going to go insane

Me2

 

[cathouse_rivals216755]

UK was outscored 35-20 the last 13:00 of the half. How does that happen?

He'll, that's nothing. Outscored 12-0 in the last 2:29.

 

[ck-2]

His tactic of saving scholarships screws us again!

He does it so he doesn’t have to manage minutes.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Yep, exactly what I posted. So extremely frustrating. It was still early in the game. Absolutely no need to bring in Ware. Not a coincidence we quickly gave up our lead.

 

[jbne222]

Just find a way to win the damn game fellas

 

[ganner918_rivals60369]

This is stupid as hell. 35 of their 39 points have been layups or threes. At some point the lack of defense has to fall on the players.

It's absurd that people are still making excuses for Cal

 

[wildcat1515]

Ain't winning this game. We play old school **** and Stackhouse is playing modern offense and using the 3 as a weapon.

And why is CJ playing? He took one f*cking shot

CJ or Livingston haven't given anything.

Cal gonna ride or die with Livingston.

Time for Collins.

Just about to say this! He isn't giving anything
