Kentucky Texas Tech Game Thread

[Catastic5]

This year's exhibition rules:
1. Don't lose
2. Don't get injured.
3. Don't build unreasonable hype.

Mission accomplished...in an effort that doesn't inspire lofty optimism.

We’ll win some games we’re not supposed to; lose some games we shouldn’t lose and end up with around 10-14 losses. We’ll make the tournament, if that’s good enough for the average fan, but I’m not going to pretend we’re a title contender or even a conference title contender.

Notice when Doom is not playing we have a 10 point lead

Zoom will ruin this season. Starting with his play. Then when he loses his starting spot he will infect the locker room. I can see the drama before it happens.

Body language already shat.

 

[Anon1751335390]

Interested to see +/- with him.

He was like second in +/- for us last game.

Wilkins and Williams have clearly outplayed him tonight.

 

[bbnkat02]

Damn....Wilkins WANTS it.

 

[Zannman]

How many points did Mom score?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Good play Wilkins, that should have been an intentional foul.

 

[UKCowboys]

Wilkins is growing on me quickly.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wilkins has played good D and has had a nice second half. He really does have a next play mentality

 

[TFCat11]

Mom and Trent Noah are the same player. Spot up shooters

Zoom will get Pope fired, Mason might just help him keep his job! Time will tell.

Noah couldn't hold Momo jock. U people are crazy.

 

[MbergCat]

Wilkins is gonna be incredibly frustrating to watch 80% of the time. But he plays with a ton of fire and the other 20% of the time will be a movie.

I’m not saying it won’t happen, but for what he makes he should be happy to fold towels if needed.

 

[katwest]

Wilkins will get in your grill on defense too, he’s tough and will only get better.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

My God dude had Wilkins whole arm and no foul

 

[Catastic5]

Williams and Wilkins should be our starters. Zoom can come off the bench.

I want no major injuries this year. That way there's no excuses. record will be whatever it will be.

 

[Anon722800]

Just a few kinks to iron out and this has the makings of a special team...one well remember for a long long time. Unforgettables Part II

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I will say our defense is way better than I thought it would be. It may end up being our best under Pope.

Pat Adams and Joe Lindsey. Preview of coming attractions.

 

[four_every_hour]

At least we aren’t Tennessee. Ranked 8 and getting beat by 40 a game. I think we might be pretty decent this year.

 

[CoffeeCat]

If you read this chat you'd think we are down 17

 

[TFCat11]

Wilkins/ Williams backcourt for a few more years… I’d okay it

 

[HolySmokes]

Am I the only one who thought the tech guard was Devin askew?

 

[BCD]

Zoom will get Pope fired, Mason might just help him keep his job! Time will tell.

Interesting take. Won’t argue.

 

[Runt#1969]

Maybe this team can prove to be better than a fringe top 25 team. I wanted to see them play better, when they keep energy up and play smart and dont turn it over, they can be good.

I'll take the result.

They can do better if they'd just get MOM some clear shots.

 

[OGtruebluewildcat]

Folks we have a holy trinity…

Moreno, chilli, Williams

A big, a pure scorer/shooter, an off guard who gets buckets and makes plays…

been a while since we’ve had all 3…

 

[bbnkat02]

11 point win. I'll take it.

Still lots to work on.

 

[Walker34]

If Zoom can figure it out.....we could be dangerous. That's a big if though.

Is Morton supposed to play a lot of minutes can he spell Wilkins and Williams?

Personally I would like 3 guard lineup more often with Milan at the 4 some. Depending on how good a healthy Morton is. You could play 3 guards and Zoom be the 4th guard spot minutes.

 

[HolySmokes]

Wilkins/ Williams backcourt for a few more years… I’d okay it

Id be ok with Mo coaching next season with his son being the pg and see who he could attract this off season.

I am not disagreeing, but if that's the outcome, Batt will be looking for his first coaching hire.

 

[philstat]

Wilkins is a ball hog, it’s all about getting his…

 

[UKgrad22]

Now let’s take care of Vandy tomorrow! Go Big Blue!

 

[WallMash]

Looked better than Little Rock game. We all saw our best back court, how long will it take nice guy pope to let zoom's feelings be hurt.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Lol at the game thread Debbie's.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Hell yeah baybay! Upset victory over TTU!

 

[bbnkat02]

Play your best dudes. It's that simple.

 

[Anon1751335390]

Defensive rebounding was concerning tonight, but I agree.

Moreno is older. Mom is better than expected. We have a number of long, mobile guys who defend on the perimeter.

Oh yes we are! Just you wait and see. Elite 8 at worst

I'm not overly optimistic but I'm not gonna get down either.

There's some good pieces on this team. We will see what happens.
