Score here would be nice

 

[kyjeff1]

Seriously Grady? That was dumb

 

[bbnkat02]

Wow. Bad end to half is bad.

 

[RunninRichie]

Grady lmao

 

[SophiesDad]

Man that was a dumb shot by Grady

 

[gwjenning]

Grandad with a couple of bad shots

 

[ScottGreene22]

CAL mad at Grady for not holding for the last shot.

 

[justanotherguy505]

Can’t hit a shot and give up an easy bucket right before half; where have I seen this before?

 

[Atrain7732]

And we let a guy shoot a layup to end the half that sucks

 

[jameslee32]

Grasy got the brain cramp with about 10 seconds left.

 

[Stayhi859]

Seriously Grady? That was dumb

I agree but so many ppl would prefer if he forced shots like that

 

[tls]

Grady great early. Just as bad late.

 

[bbnkat02]

CAL mad at Grady for not holding for the last shot.

Mad for two bad shots.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

We should cover today. I expect about a 15 pt win.

Oh, and I would hate to watch a game with some of y'all in real life.

 

[Bkocats]

Well. Came out tighter second half at So Car
Hopefully will do the same today

 

[KYWildCatsFan]

This is one of those games(knock on wood) that doesn’t feel as close as it is. Which is good.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Here's some bracketology for you..

Baylor just lost a key player, likely for the year? Then they won't be in our region.

Someone give me Lunardi's salary..

 

[mcwildcats04]

Okay, no more of this stupid pick up 2 fouls and done for the half. Cannot sit Wheeler for the final 13 minutes of the first half (I know he briefly came back in). Whole momentum changed when he went out. He should not come off the court in the second half.

 

[rick64]

A scored 20 points in 5-1/2 minutes then 13 the rest of the way. Just pathetic.

[fs-ripcord65]

Wow. Bad end to half is bad.

We always end the half badly ... always !

 

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

Outside of Oscar that was an abysmal first half. We have not played particularly well since the KU game

 

[bbnkat02]

AU slurp fest. Meanwhile we’re playing flat against a mediocre UF. Sigh.

 

[ala_kat2]

Grasy got the brain cramp with about 10 seconds left.

Cal wants him to shoot it. Just not when you’re covered up.

 

[26MichaelUK]

Like I said earlier today, we play great in hostile arenas, and down to the competition at home.

 

[ConRay9]

Could have easily been up 9 or 10, 7 at worst, but low IQ plays to end the half means only a 5 point game at halftime. Frustrating. They have no business being in this game. Hopefully our players realize that in the second half.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Good news is the straw that stirs the drink will be back for the 2nd half so hopefully they run Florida out of the gym!

 

[Sparky285]

Sadly old Brooks is back.

Brooks needs a motivational memo/reminder in his locker that says, “hey man, don’t forget you can jump 40” into the air and everytime you’ve done that consistently in a game you’ve looked like an All-American”

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

You're one miserable poster.

JFCats is bipolar.

He stands up for UK when criticism is justified, and rages against UK when it's not.

He takes the contrarian view. He'd be the obnoxious guy in the bar who hurls profanity at the TV if we were all sitting with him in person.

Wheeler cannot be trusted to make smart plays both fouls were stupid but good calls

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Terrible end of the half. Cal makes a great line-up choice putting Oscar and Ware in the game at the same time and we rebuild our lead to 9. Then had 2 or 3 straight possessions to get it to double digits. Just couldn't get it. From there,it was all down hill. Gady's decision to take that last 3 when we could have ran the clock down and taken the last shot, was terrible.

 

[kyjeff1]

I agree but so many ppl would prefer if he forced shots like that

We would prefer he shoot more and not just stand there waiting for the ball to cycle to him and hope his man left him to double someone, but every single UK fan knew that last shot was dumb. It was taken at the wrong time and Florida got 2 easy points out of it.

 

[wccat]

Brooks is sooooo frustrating. I don't believe he will ever change. That is just who he is. Unless he is just takes an open 15ft shot or a dunk, he doesn't bring you much.

 

[fs-ripcord65]

A scored 20 points in 5-1/2 minutes then 13 the rest of the way. Just pathetic.

Isn't that incredible ! Of course, that's when Florida went to a zone. I don't see why any U.K. opponent doesn't play zone against us the whole way.

 

[GoBigBlue1224]

Wheeler going out killed our momentum.

 

[Stayhi859]

I don’t have a problem with sitting a player with 2 fouls, we kept the lead that’s all that matters it’s not like we’re down 10 now.

 

[ala_kat2]

Also, when FL went to a Zone, all at once we couldn’t get a decent shot. If not for Tshiebwe’s rebounding and hustle, we’re behind in the score at half.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Grandad with a couple of bad shots

Yeah but we are up 5 in part because he knocked down 3 straight 3 pointers to start the game.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Wheeler cannot be trusted to make smart plays both fouls were stupid but good calls

Yes, I agree they were stupid fouls but we were blowing them out with him on the floor. Cannot sit him 13 minutes. Whole momentum changed. Sit him several minutes and let him play and if he picks up 3 THEN sit him for the second half. It's just so stupid having this concrete 2 fouls and done rule.

All I ever see him to is post threads from Twitter and cry all game long.
