GAME THREAD: UK V DUKE

[Crawfords Corner]

Because the refs takeover. Every single time.

Thats true later in the game, but before that it was about 4-5 possessions where we just made bad plays/decisions.

 

[MojoYamamoto]

They have outscored us by 9 at the freethrow line. The difference in this game is Duke is permitted to be physical on defense and we aren't. It's hard to score when you are hacked on drives and shots.

 

[KYWildCatsFan]

Refs trying to cheat us and not even trying to disguise it. I’ll take down 4 after that half.

 

[ck-2]

I’m surprised it’s as close as it is. I’ll take it.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Sad to watch the favoritism for the Duke program, can we just see the kids play ball without the cheap whistles.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Can’t run an offense when fouls keep disrupting the flow. We are getting absolutely jobbed on the ref side of the equation.
Love this team. Angry *** team.

 

[Shaudylo]

When Grady shoots I’m confident

 

[DudahUK]

Holly is butt *** ugly.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

Considering how bad we got jobbed, gotta be happy it’s just 4.

 

[The_Catfather]

Down 4 with the refs putting Oscar on the bench quick. I'll take it. Hopefully Tyty can knock down some shots in the 2nd half.

 

[Seth_C]

We have had **** offense the last few possessions

One could argue it was every possession.

 

[BaronReborn84_rivals62172]

I mean wow lol

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Hey.. were pretty ****** good playing Duke 5 on 8... and still hanging in there.

 

[Thunder Mash]

I figured Kentucky would be down at half. The refs wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[blackcat714]

We have had **** offense the last few possessions

Last few years it seems

GRADY NEEDS TO PLAY EVERY FN MINUTE IN THE 2ND HALF!!!

And Brooks needs zero. He can't play in a game like this.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

By George Topp locked down Banchero

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

Proud of the team for that effort. Probably as good or better a half than we put together all year last year.

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

take out the fake free throws. UK is ahead

 

[bookerfan66]

Tyty has to get his **** together.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Overall not bad at all.

The shooting wasn't good and yet we are still in this thing.

 

[SirKentucky86]

Grady living up to that Davidson hype

 

[GLR5555]

Toppin better start the 2nd half.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

That’s Ware’s career highlight.

Ware still has potential, I like his attitude.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

LOL @ the one person here that said Grady gives us nothing that Allen doesn't.

Grady has kept us in this game.

Cincy fan is pretty clueless.

 

[Big10Cat]

They have outscored us by 9 at the freethrow line. The difference in this game is Duke is permitted to be physical on defense and we aren't. It's hard to score when you are hacked on drives and shots.

Didn’t you hear? Duke has diplomatic immunity this season.

 

[JwUKFan11]

My lord without those 3-4 absolutely phantom foul calls we are probably winning. Literally just making **** up.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Half the team didn’t show up and playing 5-8 down 4 at half I’ll take it.

 

[Jacobbleedsblue]

Did ware actually step out of bounds though? The cut the camera on the replay right before it showed him coming down with it

 

[dckala2_rivals16641]

What a terrible handoff and an even more terrible foul. Four point swing on that.

 

[BlueGlasses12]

I feel like Banchero had 3 fouls?

 

[Beatle Bum]

I cannot hate Banchero. He was great in the Goonies.

 

[ConRay9]

Can’t see how you can’t be happy about that half despite being down 4. You can see it on Cal’s face in that halftime interview he liked the fight.

Got screwed by the refs multiple times, Oscar with foul trouble, couple of missed dunks and layups, Duke hit some dumb shots, and still only down by 4. Not bad.

 

[DudahUK]

Ware still has potential, I like his attitude.

I do too. Seems like a great kid.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Tyty has to get his **** together.

He is a freshman. He will be fine.

 

[CatsIndy2010]

Not gonna lie, I thought first half would be worse for UK. Even coach cal said, "I'm happy,....2 exhibition games" yeah, this team might be very special.

 

[Gassy_Knowls]

By George Topp locked down Banchero

Yep. Topp got his number

 

[fisherscat]

Tyty 1/7 with 3 points. He has to be better than that. Terrible start for his UK career.

He’s playing off the ball. Not his game or his strength. Gonna be a dilemma all year

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Prediction: Oscar picks up his 3rd foul before the 1st TV timeout and Cal sits him until 8 minutes left.
