This may of been the game of the year in November.

 

[LmdCat]

When was the last time you saw that kind of halftime adjustments? I will tell you. It was when RP was here coaching Pope.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

where was proctor in the second half?

He’s the key to that team, shut him down at all costs.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Duke wanted to tie the all-time series tonight.

"No tie for you! Next!"

 

[mash_24]

Beat their *** with Robinson a non-factor. He’ll learn from this. And his coach will use it to teach him. What a change in direction we’ve had in a few short months.

 

[UKCat4Ever]

Gimmie that Daffy!!!

Someone else get those going because apparently I have no idea how to post a gif.

 

[DanDrungus]

Would anyone be kind enough to repeat the stupid comment Jay Williams said at the half? I did not hear it

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

I never want to hear the word Konkanipple ever again.

I thought they'd been saying "Honk The Nipple." Boy do I feel silly.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Someone said we need someone who can get bucket. I guess you F around and found out. Lol

I will take this L everyday of every year. I was so wrong and man am I happy to be wrong. I’m a idiot for that take

 

[ConRay9]

Kentucky’s BACK!! Most exciting time to be a Kentucky fan in years.

 

[Shaudylo]

Dude everytime i would check score we’d be down 7-9 points then id check back within 3 …thought it was gonna be one of those games we could never get over that hump….mannnnnnnn LETS GOOOOOOO

It felt that way and then we finally broke through

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

That defensive effort in the second half will go down as one of the best in UK history.

They held Duke to 26 second-half points.

Amazing adjustments.

 

[bbnkat02]

He’s the key to that team, shut him down at all costs.

We shut down Kanupple too. He was KILLING us in the first.

 

[DraftCat]

This game was so huge in many ways... for the 2024/25 season and recruiting.

Put Pope on the map as an elite coach.... he's arrived.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Man Im so proud of this group for fighting back tonight.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

PLUS 14 in the second half.

Pope schooled Scheyer in Scheyer's "dream season."

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Andrew Carr came up big in the 2nd half.

Brandon Garrison gave us big minutes.

Oweh was a dawg and sealed it with the rebound & defense.

Butler made up for his poor start.

I love this team! Pope made the needed adjustments

 

[mash_24]

All this with very little from our SGs. Robinson isn’t going to play like this all season and Brea will improve his motor

I thought Brea did a lot of good things in the second half that didn’t involve scoring.

So happy for Coach Pope this early on getting a win against the #6 team and it be Duke, of all rivals! What a great win for the BBN! Go ‘Cats!

 

[LmdCat]

What a spectrum in this thread. From we're awful and this is a throw away season to we can play with anyone. Lol

There were only a select few who were only here to see Kentucky lose so they could tell us that Pope isn't ready.

 

[zannmann]

Pope has only coached three games at UK and already has a signature win.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

This game was so huge in many ways... for the 2024/25 season and recruiting.

Put Pope on the map as an elite coach.... he's arrived.

Just wait until UK is 7-0, ranked top 5 in the nation, heading into Clemson and coming off a Caleb Wilson commitment.

 

[clew84]

GIve some props to Duke though. They will be a hard out in March. So will we.

No doubt. As I said earlier, this game in the big picture won’t matter much (clearly much more awesome to win!) and each team will learn a lot. Duke will learn that others have to work for Flagg instead of letting him put everything on his shoulders. They are an excellent team, just like ours.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Flagg isn’t the best player on his own team……….

 

[HenryMuto]

We are going to need to find our Reed Sheppard for end of games FT shooting. I don't have a clue who are our best FT shooters are even.

I'll be at that game so hope your right

 

[KentuckyDad_rivals217703]

Let’s go boys! **** Dook

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

UK will be top 5 by the time we head down to Clemson. We have four VERY winnable games on the horizon.

 

[ia.ukfan_rivals]

What a win! Biggest regular season win in a long time. When was our last big time OOC win?

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

No I’m being dead serious please people if you got any good roast on me please send them here, I wanna laugh at how stupid I was. But let’s freaking go cats

 

[LmdCat]

For some reason, I just kept feeling like they were going to win,

 

[WitnessGreatness]

Only 17 years old … game took its toll.

When’s the last big time recruit to have this much cramping/cardio issues though? He had major cramping issues in his first 2 games before this too against Maine and West Point

 

[BC_Wader]

Wow guys! We have ourselves a team! So proud of the guys. Can't wait to watch the replay in the morning so I can catch what I missed. I'm on cloud nine right now.

 

[Catluv]

I know he was great most of the game, but so was Knueppel (sp?). That dude got in the lane a LOT

5 for 19 won’t win many games. We must of made an adjustment at half on him. Kinda quite the second half.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Flagg isn’t the best player on his own team……….

"He's young" - will be the media narrative that will try to shield him tomorrow morning.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

The defense was a night and day improvement in the second half, and is largely what won us that game. I love the toughness our guys showed, and Pope aced it with his in game adjustments for his first big game here. It’s a great feeling all around after what we struggled through over the last few years.

 

[mhroe1984]

No way I can go to sleep right now! Guess I'll be dragging *** at work tomorrow.

You were fully exposed with your 6 to 10th seed crap. However, I do give you credit for not hiding.
