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

[JesusCal91]

Calm down guys it’s right on the line. We’ll win

 

[*CatinIL*]

Auburn turned up the pace there in that last few minutes.

 

[Stonewall12]

Ever since Herro went to the bench we have done squat on offense.

You think?

He makes our **** offense a little better

 

[ala_kat2]

Keldon Johnson -it seems he rarely hits both free throws, but his average is still around 65%?

 

[Wildcats1st]

Why was there no timeout called after the rebound? There was 6 seconds left. Poor management will cost us. 5 pts to auburn is nothing they will get hot

 

[RoyKent]

Auburn scored 20 points in first 16:30, scored 10 in last 3:30

Absolutely shitshow by UK at the end of the half. So disappointing.

Auburn didn’t play well at all that half and are right in this game.

 

[ORCAT10]

We are fine. Herro is the key to getting the ball inside. We got this

 

[nickelbacksucks]

Are we playing not too loose ?

 

[jrm693]

I still don't trust Hagans at the point. He did some things well for sure.. But still too many mistakes and lapses. Still doesn't have the confidence it seems.

You are right he is not at this stage a elite point guard but unfortunately trust him more than Quickly down under.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Totally outhustled the last few minutes of the half.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

He have two fouls ?

 

[NoDef]

Inability to hit the three in today's game makes it hard to put teams away. We have missed four or five wide open looks.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Auburn put them to sleep and made a run. Auburn should be happy

 

[Blue63Madison]

Herro best shooter on the team and you are running him down you idiot

He missed two shots!!! So what


Go drink bleach ******

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

 

[mdlUK.1]

Did Tyler quit the team ??? Damn Cal , strange time to bury him ... I think he needed a blow to mentally refocus but **** — hasn’t he earned the right to play thru a tough stretch ?

2 fouls

 

[stuway]

If we could ever make good decisions on offense we would win this damn tournament....defense is there but focus on keeping that intensity throughout

 

[jameslee32]

We've made more 3's, more FT's, have 9 assists on 11 makes and won the rebounding by 5. So the effort and unselfishness are there.

 

[RoyKent]

Why was there no timeout called after the rebound? There was 6 seconds left. Poor management will cost us. 5 pts to auburn is nothing they will get hot

Because Cal thinks saving timeouts gets you extra points at the end of games.

 

[nkuCATfan]

Damn we just can’t take a lead from 9 to 15. We had like 4 or 5 stops on defense and then laid an egg with turnovers, missed free throw and a few open 3s on offense. We do that earlier and their little run makes it still a 10 point game. Sob. Also. Need to make sure we make Harper change direction. His speed is killer when he gets to go strait to the hoop.

 

[king of cali]

A game where UK has been in control throughout, yet only up 5. Gotta come out strong in the first 4 minute segment.

 

[Randy Bob]

Travis needs to get going..

 

[dcspurlock]

Got wayyyy to laxed after we went up 10. That’s a huge problem with this team. Champions don’t do that. Limit turnovers and rebound and we can do this.

 

[NavyKat]

Couple of observations - KJ needs to pull his head out of his ***. He is exasperating right now. Offense needs to go inside every possession. Double comes then pass out. Too much dribbling out high with no movement.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Cal has no instincts in the NCAA Tournament.

He has the most wins but no instincts huh? Wish he did **** we would never lose.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

We show no interest in getting the ball down low on the block and I don’t understand it. A couple times you could see Reid Travis calling for the ball, we swing it instead. If the post up is there you take it.

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

You can’t trust freshmen. They could screw up a game at any given moment.

 

[502 Wildcat]

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.

 

[katwest]

Hagan's fails to block out and they get a put back dunk, damn that shouldn't happen.

 

[wromanp7]

I wish Nick wasn’t such a bonehead. We need his length at the rim.

 

[blubo]

I can’t understand how the flop has become such a common play in college basketball.
It’s become a legit basketball move by refs.

 

[ORCAT10]

Cal's most important recruit is an offensive coordinator.

 

[oldsports_]

Getting our asses handed to us right now.

We are up 5 , pay attention

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

If anyone questioned the importance of Herro, the end of this half is all the proof you need.

Mediocre team without him

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

we play better with Herro in the game

Usually we do but he sucked the last couple minutes he was in

 

[Xception]

Amazing that some of you are more than eager to point out a mistake by Hagans but he makes a three and not a peep. Unbelievable that some are so entrenched that they refuse to give credit and yes it’s obvious.

 

[ukfan041]

Way too many 3’s!

 

[UKNothinButNet]

Slow ball with Hagans walking and standing around

 

[wildcat1515]

9/13 Ft's, some where one and one

Stupid announcer said we were doing good 7/8 then went 2/5.

 

[RoyKent]

This -

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Kentucky gets the ball first we better score and get this back to a 3 possession game
