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

[OHIO COLONEL]

We need to finish this game like Friday night

 

[Farsight]

Tyler needs to start taking some shots. We need him NOW.

 

[oldsports_]

10-17 free throws. Thats a Cal tradition

 

[*CatinIL*]

AU with 8 fouls...UK with 4. Under 8:00 and CATS down 4. :angry: COME ON CATS!

 

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

10/17 from the line including the front end and two one and ones

Yep, killing us

 

[jrollins24]

Our guys can’t get open looks, they do.
Why?

we've gotten so many open looks at the free throw line and we'd be up 10 if we could make some.

 

[Wall Knight Teague]

Hagans is killing us.

It seems Cal is bound and determined to lose with Hagans.

He goes out, we get a lead... he comes in, and Auburn almost immediately goes on a run.

He's been bad for like 2 1/2 months now.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

74% free throw shooting team shooting 59% this game.

 

[BBUK_anon]

It's getting to be way too late in the game to be in this position.

Credit to Auburn, but I don't like how they are able to get away with manhandling all of our guys when we are on offense.

Way too blatant

 

[Captain_Kentucky]

We ain’t beating UVA regardless with this offense.

 

[tWildcat]

This possession is huge, if we fail to score and Auburn does score game might be over.

 

[ck-2]

Missing free throws and taking way too many threes.

 

[richbrookstomato]

We need a 3!!!!!! Can we make one??!!!!

 

[jameslee32]

Losing the turnover, offensive rebounding and FT% battle. Have to turn those around.

 

[stuway]

Wtf happened to our offense in this tourney

 

[Comebakatz3]

This game is over. I’m sorry but hagans has been a liability all over the floor

He just stopped playing defense off the ball. Harper and Brown killing us and he isn't buckling down on the one guy on the court that is beating us.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Went from loving Hagans after that UNC game to hoping he leaves to play pro ball.

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

Hagans has lost all confidence. Not sure why we are riding that horse.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

We got 2 guards sleepwalking through this game. Hagans and Quickley are giving us nothing.

IQ might have been there for us.. But Cal stuck with Hagans to end the season..said this week's ago.. WEEKS!

Hagans just isn't there this year. Turnovers, poor shooting, can't drive, can't pass, complacent, no longer defends well.

 

[502 Wildcat]

Auburn seems like the team of destiny at this point. The whole tournament is going their way.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

I'm so sick of losing in the tournament every year because of missed free throws. I've defended Calipari and Kentucky every year for 9 seasons and said that there are many factors that go into losing games which is still true but today free throws are becoming a big issue and we are good free throw shooting team

 

[Calsthebomb]

They don't even have okeke!! This would be the worst loss in the cal era.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

This show is being played out too often anymore.

 

[USARMYWILDCAT]

We have no answer for Brown.

 

[bbnkat02]

They are making tough shots and we can’t even make free throws. They deserve to win at this point.

Shooting wise? Yes.

But they are dirty flops. They don’t deserve crap.

 

[Cindog28]

<3

 

[meteordealer]

Frustrating to watch us beat ourselves.

If we lose by FTs Cal will and SHOULD catch crap.

We lost last year because of FT's.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Only 9 point difference from the 3 should have us clearly in the lead. This is pitiful.

 

[BigBlueThunderCats]

Another three or so by Auburn and we will be done. We just can't score enough. 3 points in 5 mins just isn't going to cut it.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Putting my phone away to avoid chucking it across the room. See you on the other side boys

 

[bigblue7609_rivals211215]

Hope Im wrong....just have that feeling Auburn is about to go on a run

 

[BBUK_anon]

Went from loving Hagans after that UNC game to hoping he leaves to play pro ball.

No time for this type post. No need for it.

 

[Seth_C]

we dont get **** turned around in the next 3 minutes we will LOOSE this game! under 4 and Auburn will make every shot they attempt.

If Hagans is in when we come out of this timeout it is game over for us. Pretty simple really.

 

[MarkPftw]

Absolute must score for UK here on this next possession or we may be looking at being down by 7 with less than 7 minutes to go.

 

[Troy363]

Missing free throws and taking way too many threes.

Yep

 

[Nooneputsbabyinacorner]

Just waiting to watch PJ Washington take control of this game with about 5 minutes to go in the game. You know it's coming and you know Auburn can't stop it from happening.

 

[JasonS.]

 

[katwest]

If you can't hit free throws you can't expect to win to win.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Auburn is just too good of a team. We are just lowly UK and can't win this game.

 

[kyjeff1]

Simply put, we have to freaking make shots and we're not doing it
