****Game Thread Bucknell vs UK*****

[ScottGreene22]

Have only been able to watch some of 2nd half. Where is Robinson? Is he just out cause we are up a lot?

Yes just resting we have a comfortable lead

 

[NociHTTP]

What did Williams say or do to get the technical?

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Can someone please get a memo to the commentators it’s EDDIEville (Eddyville)?

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

UK is 6/26 from deep other than Brea. That’s a concern. Still a blowout, though. Coaching matters!

 

[Yardeth]

Perry is in the game, he won’t turn down a shot

 

[Dr.LutherSan]

Briscoe, too.

Definitely both bulldogs.

 

[Shaudylo]

Chandler

What did Williams say or do to get the technical?

Told the ref "Hey guv'nor, piss off!"

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Great hustle TP

 

[NociHTTP]

Anybody have numbers on just how many times we've been short at the rim?

 

[TortElvisII]

Short arm a lot of close shots today.

 

[TortElvisII]

Told the ref "Hey guv'nor, piss off!"

I'm pretty sure I heard him call him a wanker.

 

[DelkBowl]

U6 gonna be fun game again this year

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Garrison 2 to hit 100?

 

[SophiesDad]

Spread was 28.5 before tip lol

 

[TortElvisII]

Garrison has been solid from the line.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Kriisa with 12 assists, very nice.

 

[BassProCat]

100 yessir

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

100 points and fans are bitching.

 

[megablue]

Great hustle TP

He always hustles !!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Bring on Puke!!!

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

I know it's not possible, but somehow I think Bucknell hit more 3s than they had points. Good Lord.

 

[TortElvisII]

Spread was 28.5 before tip lol

All the people yelling at Almonor to shoot.

 

[LmdCat]

Yeah, yeah, yeah it was only Bucknell. Lol

 

[richbrookstomato]

How awesome to have 12 kids that can play and the coach WILL play them!!!

Bring on the Blue Devils!!!

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Rebounds
UK 57
Buck 35
That works fellas

 

[Yardeth]

We have a very good team and I have a lot of faith that we will win more than what they predicted.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I thought rebounding would be an issue after the first two exhibition games and the first game.

We did real well today in that regard.

Shows even when we have an off shooting night we can still do well offensively.

You mean it is no more of the "Kentucky isn't for everyone" crap.

 

[true-blue1]

This group has fun out on the court!

 

[Kycatspaws]

Wildcats with triple digits again. Hit the century mark!
Go Cats!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Messed around and still scored 100. Impressive.

 

[LmdCat]

I like the fact that we don't allow lesser teams to gain confidence because we jump on them early. It reminds me of the RP days.

 

[TortElvisII]

The thing I like the most is so many get to play and contribute. That's the way real offense works.

I agree 100%. Pope is trying to win games and not showcase certain players for NBA draft position.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Bucknell obviously isn't great, they're in the low 200s in KP (could move up after today?)

But they were 2-0 coming into today and have some decent history for a mid major.

And I mean, if Duke can come here to brag about beating a military academy, I think we can feel at least a little decent about beating an actual basketball program.

 

[Anthony B]

Garrison needs to knock it off with these left handed hookers. Learn to shoot right-handed and maybe then you can try the other.

Yeah, they are one of about 5 to 6 tomato cans in that conference that could win their conference tournament and make the ncaa.

This game and the Duke vs army game are fairly irrelevant. The real season for both UK and Duke starts Tuesday and I'm feeling confident.

 

[EliteBlue]

Our Post defense has been great!!!

Yeah. Being able to limit a versatile 7footer who just dropped 32 the way that we did today, gives me hope that we can keep F(L)agg to a normal/good night but not killing us singlehandidly and make him hold that ^^^^(L))

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

This was really my first look at the team today after missing the opener. We have some kinks to work out, mostly in the department of turnovers and shot selection, but also quite a few positives. The offense obviously has tons of potential when they hit 100 despite feeling inconsistent, and I love actually having bigs who are bothering the opponent with their physicality for once instead of being on the receiving end of that.

We’ll know better where we stand in the grand scheme of things after Tuesday, but it’s an encouraging start overall.
