Game thread vols vs cats

[RACdad]

Gotta attack and play ball. Cal can't go into limp mode here

 

[TankedCat]

Ziegler didn't do well against UK down in Knoxville, he's probably more adapted to a faster paced driving game.

Wallace has been tearing up their backcourt. I hope he keeps them playing out of control

 

[caneintally]

Tennessee sucks. They can't score. Biggest overrated team in College.
Still a great win because they fooled the pollsters. Being ranked 10th

good lord is this a horrible ill informed take. THEY LITERALLY BEAT THE BEST TEAM IN CBB THIS WEEK. UT is many things - ugly to look at , a great defensive team , a team full of floppers and so on but one thing they do not is suck. IMO they should of been a 2 seed in the reveal this morning not a 3 but that's big 12 suck fest for you.

UK matches up great with teams that don't have elite athletes who can shoot . They match up horrible with those who do. Teams like Bama and Arkansas for example. UCLA is another one. UT has one elite athlete who can shoot and he isn't playing today .

the two man game with wallace and toppin was pretty. had oscar weakside out of the paint. ut had no answer for that. wonder if that was ulis’ doing.

 

[anon1751545683]

We need to get Frederick back. My biggest concern right now is Wallace seems to have lost confidence in his shot.

This team will never be great on defense. But it’s much improved.

Still, teams with athletes that can pick and roll are going to give us fits.

Fortunately today Tennessee is not one of those.

 

[HenryMuto]

Our ball to start the 2nd half too !!!!!!!!!!

 

[TankedCat]

Cal took him out to avoid a second foul, he walked off the court after the FTs fine

ok good to hear

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Cats shooting 43 percent and up 20.

Oddly UT has really struggled this year offensively against a blow average UK defense. Sometimes it’s just about matchups. Cats matchup well with UT and not ARK for example.

UT is not a athletic team.

 

[hotelblue]

ut may be drained but that’s too bad for them.

 

[HenryMuto]

Kentucky has 5 turnovers I think all 5 came in the first 10 minutes if I am not mistaken 0 turnovers in the final 10 minutes

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

ut may be drained but that’s too bad for them.

We have just as many injuries as they do

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Amazing thing is we did this mostly without Reeves.

UT is not quick like other teams so the Cats can pretty much stay in front of them.

20 point lead and the team playing on fire - I'm a Frederick guy but we're seeing what a UK team that can drive and score can do

 

[HenryMuto]

Kentucky 12/13 from line (first FT was missed then 12 straight including 3 front end of 1 AND 1's!)

Tennessee 4/8 from line including two front end misses !

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

UT maybe partied out after beating # 1 ... good time to catch therm , now pour it on

Agreed. But we are going to need him going forward.

 

[TankedCat]

We have just as many injuries as they do

ours may be a net positive though

They can't score. They will be over seeded and lose early.
They are not athletic at all. Therefore they aren't a tough matchup for UKs terrible defense. They don't really have a guy who can beat you off the dribble either.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

ours may be a net positive though

I would take both back for depth, and if fredrick is hitting shots he helps

 

[megablue]

It is amazing that Toppin did not have a rebound in the first half. Hopefully, he will get on the boards on the second half. We need him to.

 

[cats#1again]

February 18 with two players out

not ready to hand out any accolades

Yea we have 2 players out and still playing great

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

WTF was that Kentucky

 

[anon1751545683]

I’m more surprised when he does rebound.

 

[ala_kat2]

Stupid, stupid, stupid Reeves

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Well, terrible start to the half

 

[LmdCat]

He definitely doesn’t like me talking about roster minutes with wheeler. Keeps thinking I want him to die or something. I just think the team is way better without him.

I’m blocked by quite a few. Wear it like a badge bro.

Gromcat, I ignored him because he doesn't want a discussion he wants an argument and I am not doing that during a great game.

 

[pauled#1]

Here we go!

 

[hotelblue]

2 turnovers in 30 seconds to start the half. that’s cool.

 

[kyjeff1]

Jesus, what a terrible start

 

[rick64]

Lob to Collins ok. Lob to Oscar…….don’t know about that.

 

[megablue]

We played best with Reeves out !!

 

[Kingslayer07]

Oscar wtf

 

[wildcat1515]

This isn't a good start

 

[TortElvisII]

3/3

In 83 seconds in which we started with the first possession, they have taken seven points off the lead.

 

[ala_kat2]

OK, we’re falling apart. Great halftime adjustment.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Wtf are we doing

 

[Lazlo7]

F_k

 

[hotelblue]

sorry 3 turnovers
