***Kentucky vs LSU Game Thread***

[Shaudylo]

Great end to the half

 

[entropy13]

Strong finish!

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Edwards isn't what we thought he would be but the kid is playing better and his confidence is growing.

 

[SophiesDad]

Nice dish to Edwards for 3! 5 minute scoring drought, still up 9 at the half on the road without attempting a single free throw. Will take that all day.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Burkes really does play hard. And Edwards has been a pleasant treat.

It's a real pleasure watching how hard Thiero and Burks play.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

UK finally flips a switch and gets a lead. Great end to half.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Not many halves that the cats don't shoot a free throw.

 

[bbnkat02]

LSU has 3 fouls

SEC officiating. Best in the country baby.

 

[ukfan117]

Reed at point changes the game in a few minutes.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Would that Burks shot have counted if it went in

 

[jessieshorts8]

Justin has improved.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Yep 10-0 run since Shep has been running the point…. Really unusual for us to end a half like that usually we stink the joint up….

 

[Big BlueBeard]

That’s how you finish a half!

 

[zannmann]

Cal ran to the locker room. Guess he didn’t want to be interviewed.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Big Z is a +/- monster!!!

While not doing anything

 

[$Z71$]

We held them to only 6 points in the last 11 minutes of the half. Our offense was off but still up 9. Go Cats!

 

[wildcat1515]

Did Cal have to take a piss? He went straight to locker room.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Same thing past two games lol.

I know we said we need better defense but we needed that IN ADDITION to the offense not at the EXPENSE of it lol.

If defense gets better by .03 but the offense gets worse by the same .03.....the net effect is ZERO lol

That wasn't bad at the end for offense. Should help a bit.

I think I'd rather see UK be 20th/40th.. than say 5/100. I feel like that's more stable and should get UK into the 2nd weekend.

 

[ukjenning44]

Man ever since Reed has been in running the offense we have this 6 point lead after being down…. No coincidence or anything…

He won’t start the 2nd half and we will probably be trailing by the time Cal puts him in. It’s crazy!

 

[JwUKFan11]

IMO Edwards has been really great for what this team has needed from him the last like 5 games. Catch and shoot, defend, don't turn it over.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

LSU simply must be the best defensive team in the country. They never foul

Amazing isn’t it….

 

[Lazlo7]

Being able to close out the half is huge

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

For those of you who haven't figured out the difference between Reed and anyone else playing point, Reed looks to get the ball to his scorer while the others only look to score themselves.

Agree, it’s also very clear to tell Wagner isn’t 100 percent and it’s affecting him. Reed is the better PG but Wagner is playing through pain

 

[HenryMuto]

Final 2:43 a 12-1 Kentucky run how sweet that was

 

[TankedCat]

I don't want to bag on Bradshaw, but he seriously thinks his contribution to the team coming in off the bench is bombing a 3, he can't be on the floor. Someone has to tell him this

 

[crashtestdummy_rivals61973]

Wagner.... not ready for college ball.
Driving to the basket is the only thing he does reasonably well, and marginable success at that.

 

[ukjenning44]

Did Cal have to take a piss? He went straight to locker room.

Looked like he was trying to keep from ing

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

More Reeves, Reed, less Dillingham, Wagner

This times 1,000!

 

[HagginHall1999]

I loved how Chin saw what was developing on that last play and was yelling at Reed.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

He won’t start the 2nd half and we will probably be trailing by the time Cal puts him in. It’s crazy!

Just total stupidity go with what’s working….

 

[catzfanjim]

I’m so glad Reeves came back and we have Reed.

 

[WilmoreCat]

LSU crowd has to be the best in college basketball. So far it’s been so deafening that I could hardly hear the announcers over them.Rupp take notes.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Reed at point changes the game in a few minutes.

More Reed less Dilly and Wagner is the recipe for success.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wonder if Z will see some more run since he was apart of that lead pushing line-up despite not really doing anything

 

[bbnkat02]

Ivisic is 5 fouls waiting to happen.

Love the dude but he’s a giraffe on crack.

 

[Wildcats389]

Wagner.... not ready for college ball.
Driving to the basket is the only thing he does reasonably well, and marginable success at that.

Yeah he’s been off since the injury

 

[LmdCat]

The game looks real easy when your point guard plays like he has a clue. Reed comes in and just gets the ball to the right players. We would easily be up by 16 had Reed been in the game when DJ and Dilly were lobing bricks towards the basket. During that span, DJ nor Dilly looked for Reeves. Looking for Reeves is the first thing Reed did when he came into the game which is why we are up by 9.

 

[Seth_C]

Man ever since Reed has been in running the offense we have this 6 point lead after being down…. No coincidence or anything…

Don’t worry! He absolutely will not start the second half. That way he can come in once we are back down by 4 or 5 points.

 

[jameslee32]

Cats winning all the hustle stats. Refreshing.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Can’t wait to see that crappy starting lineup again to start the half!! Reward THIS lineup and start them you moron!!

I die and fall back in it if that ever happened.
