***** GAME CHAT: UK vs NC CENTRAL *****

[megablue]

Why does Aberdeen seem hesitant to pass the ball to Noah?

Garrison was the same way in refusing to pass to wide-open Perry all year.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Daymeon Fishback is an underappreciated analyst. Dude is always spot on.

Kentucky boy, he knows ball

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

Garrison never seeing the floor again and then quitting would bode well for Pope. Jelly and eventually JQ can gobble up every one of his minutes.

Hell put Potter in at least he would try to block shots and rebound

 

[Cats4321]

Not really sure what to take from that half. The competition is absolutely terrible, but we did show some signs of life. I'll take a small step forward at this point.

 

[wildcatdon]

Moreno looks like he is running on empty.

Said that earlier myself.

 

[megablue]

Fishback is coming strong to the mic tonight !!!

 

[Yardeth]

Garrison was the same way in refusing to pass to wide-open Perry all year.

Because they are scared of being labeled

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I wonder is Lowe is polishing his nails and moisturizing his skin at half

 

[Tri-Countycat]

USC Upstate beat this team by 20, NC State beat them by 50. This games means nothing.

Hangin drywall what did I miss?

 

[OldRed]

The offensive motion looks much better because NC Central can't play up in our grill. This team isn't tough and doesn't have a ball handler that can handle the ball well with aggressive on ball defense. We back away and end up shooting 25 ft 3 pointers.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I didn't mean it like a bad thing. Just haven't it hearqd that dead

I was talking in more generally, not directly to you there in that reply. Sorry if it came across like that.

 

[theBlues]

Pope looks like he’s going to murder BG.

If he did they probably wouldn't be able to find a witness in Rupp Arena.

 

[Yardeth]

BG to the bench and the spark happens. Take note Pope.

Once JQ (ever) returns BG will have to move on down with the walk-ons

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Hangin drywall what did I miss?

You’re good to put a skim coat on. Not much to see.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

Wonder why Kam is in the doghouse?

Probably practiced like **** and Pope not having it also why BG got his *** ripped and sat the rest of the half

 

[megablue]

Hangin drywall what did I miss?

Your corners look a little out of square ... but joints look nice and smooth.

 

[Drogon]

Quaintance had a block % of 9.8 last season on 2.6 blocks. 2.6 blocks would rank him in the top 15 so far this season.

 

[UKCowboys]

Nothing. They couldn't recruit those guys. Something people always ignore when bringing up this.

Ridiculous take

 

[mrjuk lostinspace]

Sir Charles and Dicky V for Indiana game…WILD

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Just saying Garrison is one of the major problems in this team. In several ways. Have no idea why Mark continues with him. I’d send him packing off the team but to the bench if nothing else.

Send him to the bench until he proves he wants to play hard and act like he’s 6’10”. Guard someone and especially the rim. Block out, stop making bone head turnovers on moves you can’t make. If you do hustle back.

 

[Yardeth]

What did Pope say at halftime?

 

[Drogon]

Barkley and Vitale? Odd Couple 2025

 

[cat tat2]

The overall energy and intensity was better. Considering the competition though, we still have to get a lot better. I like Pope’s lineups so far. Loved it when he told BG to “go sit down”, he showed some intensity and who’s the boss! IMO

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Is Garrison THE problem? Do the guys just hate playing with him? I doubt it's the only problem, but does it all start with him? Does Oweh's piss poor effort stem from the fact he sees Garrison giving nothing?

I honestly think so, I’ve noticed Oweh giving no effort when certain guys are on the court. A lot stems from stupid turnovers and missed assignments. He’s just like WTf I can’t do it alone so why try.

 

[theBlues]

Hangin drywall what did I miss?

I'd put that first half and hanging drywall at about the same excitement level.

 

[UKCowboys]

I wonder is Lowe is polishing his nails and moisturizing his skin at half

Maybe Coach knows we don't need him and held him out.

 

[bbnkat02]

Longest HT ever it seems like

 

[will1976]

Ceilings dont go up as easy by myself as they used too.

 

[UKCowboys]

USC Upstate beat this team by 20, NC State beat them by 50. This games means nothing.

Then go to bed and quit ********

 

[OldRed]

I thought we'd have a larger rebound margin than 2 at half time. We are shooting 59% and they are shooting 39%. We should be much farther ahead with rebound margin.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Noah balling!

I’d love to see this confidence against good teams. Even if he can’t go off, be ready to shoot and this staff needs to take note of the guys who generate this play.

 

[TortElvisII]

What did Pope say at halftime?

We are going to have a beautiful second half.

 

[NociHTTP]

I dunno if it was mentioned, but did we see Pope actually yell at Garrison? Be still, My Heart.

He called TO and was looking right at BG as he came off the floor.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

It would be so much easier to fire another coach if we didn’t want him. I think everybody likes Pope and wants him to succeed. That’s what makes me feel sorry for him in a way. Idc how much money he makes.

Everyone on here wants him to succeed I guarantee that. It’s just gotten bad. It all starts with him and the staff though.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Maybe Coach knows we don't need him and held him out.

I disagree. If he is getting paid million or not, he needs to play. For continuity if anything.

 

[UKCowboys]

What did Pope say at halftime?

We need to guard

 

[RedwoodHigh]

BG has never lived up to the McDonalds AA hype. He’s gone after this year with Potter & Moreno next year.
I agree with playing JJ & MM & Jelly now as much as possible.
Trent Noah had great half too. Chandler & Kam were ghosts.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

This game does nothing other than it helps them see the ball go through the rim. Maybe that will help

They need confidence and belief in one another.

 

[UKCowboys]

I disagree. If he is getting paid million or not, he needs to play. For continuity if anything.

Ridiculous. Give him extra time to heal for a game we wont win by 40 without him
