***** KENTUCKY VS. PROVIDENCE OFFICIAL GAME THREAD *****

[IYAOYAS1]

What do u want us to do? They were all over him on that last one.

Foul

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

28% shooter nails another one.

Lol never fails.

 

[kyjeff1]

We are better at all 5 positions, this needs to be a big UK win.

 

[RACdad]

The only grip I have is that Hopkins played 5.5 mins with 2 fouls and we didn't attack him enough

 

[Ugoff]

Would love to see this team get to the locker room without a gut punch. Prov getting the ball first in the 2nd.

 

[GuyFromKY]

All things considered, this was our best half of basketball in a couple weeks. Lots of energy and look like they are having fun. Keep it up Cats!

 

[TheExhaustedOne]

Why not foul?!?!?!?! Stupid as ****

Gotta have a coach with an IQ above 50 to tell his team to do that.

 

[megablue]

They can’t guard us. We can guard them.

Stop the turnovers and we win by 20.

You are correct. This is a good match-up for us.

 

[cat tat2]

We could have fouled not in the penalty

Yeah, well Cal wants to keep it as close as possible.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Heres one thing about that Jared Bynum though. Since the 1st of the year he's hitting 41% of his 3s

 

[Padsfs07]

Why would you have a starter lose a foul. Not worth it if we aren’t playing a depth guy

 

[Verbal Kint II]

31.9% shooter from 3 makes 1 contested 3 and 1 as the clock is running down. Always Kentucky. The guy is 33% for his career

Should have fouled him at the end of the clock. It’s basic basketball.

 

[al.ksr]

Man I loved playing that game!

The guy that did the voice for the game, Tim Kitzrow, was actually at the Louisville Arcade Expo last weekend. Nice guy.

Should be responsibility of an assistant to advise that we have a foul to give.

 

[ukgold]

Good first haft. Like the energy and confidence im seeing out there

 

[$Z71$]

Cats by double digits, shoot 40%+ from 3 and 80%+ from FT. Out rebound them by 10+ and Jacob Toppin leading scorer, let’s do this!

So we are shooting 40% from 3, our rebounding them by 12 already and Toppin leading scorer.

Only part I’m missing is 80% Free throw line. Plenty of time to hit that too.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

We are better at all 5 positions, this needs to be a big UK win.

Not according to the grom dude.

 

[HenryMuto]

They get the ball to start the half too so that last 3 sucks double

 

[RoyKent]

Gotta have a coach with an IQ above 50 to tell his team to do that.

Twitter says Cal was yelling at them to foul

 

[CatPatrick13]

Should’ve

We had a foul to give. That’s on cal

 

[KyCatFan1]

Yea we are covering the spread at halftime and you find something to complain about, nothin new here…..

Great half for us. Keep the pedal to the metal in second half.

Have you not been watching all year? A 15 point lead isn't safe with Cal milking the clock. A 7 point lead will be gone in a couple minutes into the second half if we don't come out aggressive.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

The 3 at the buzzer is Exhibit 231 why Calipari is an awful bench coach. Three ******* fouls to give there, guys. You HAVE to use 1-2 there to exhaust the clock. Put Thiero and Ware in to foul.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Heres one thing about that Jared Bynum though. Since the 1st of the year he's hitting 41% of his 3s

Ouch. I looked this up too, though. On a neutral court he's 1 for 15 coming in to this game.

 

[Verbal Kint II]

They can’t guard us. We can guard them.

Stop the turnovers and we win by 20.

We guard ourselves, they can’t keep us off the offensive glass.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Twitter says Cal was yelling at them to foul

That can't be true.

 

[gbl97]

Why would you have a starter lose a foul. Not worth it if we aren’t playing a depth guy

Would normally agree but they aren't calling anything. Shouldn't foul out.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Barkley loves UK.

 

[CatPatrick13]

Twitter says Cal was yelling at them to foul

Gotta tell them in the previous huddle. Strategy doesn’t change after our possession

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Kentucky should be up 40-25 right now, if random bozo doesn’t grow beer muscles and hit bs

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Should have fouled him at the end of the clock. It’s basic basketball.

Im not arguing that. Just looking at his numbers.

 

[Saven]

Unless I missed it, I'm pretty sure Charles intentionally left UNC off that list of the all-time greats to spite Kenny

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Why would you have a starter lose a foul. Not worth it if we aren’t playing a depth guy

You put Thiero and CJ and Ware in and tell them what to do. Not that hard. A great bench coach values every possession especially that last one!

If we lose by 1-3 points remember that possession.

 

[RoyKent]

The 3 at the buzzer is Exhibit 231 why Calipari is an awful bench coach. Three ****ing fouls to give there, guys. You HAVE to use 1-2 there to exhaust the clock. Put Thiero and Ware in to foul.

Reporters on Twitter say he was yelling to foul.

Despite your constant ignorance, it’s not always Cal’s fault.

 

[CatPatrick13]

Gotta end the half on a better note. Can’t believe they didn’t intentionally foul at about the 4-5 second mark. Still happy with the half overall but a couple of missed opportunities hurts.

100 % correct

 

[wccat]

Kenny just doesn't want to discuss Kentucky.

 

[ck-2]

The only grip I have is that Hopkins played 5.5 mins with 2 fouls and we didn't attack him enough

Exactly!!

 

[track42]

Twitter says Cal was yelling at them to foul

Twitter is never wrong.

He understands pressure.
