***** Official Bama vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[*Fox2Monk*]

JFC more whistles than I’ve ever seen these last 7 minutes. Just end it

 

[Warf2012]

I was hoping they would keep bama under 90

Yea I was hoping to hit 120 and keep them under 90 lol.

 

[UKCat4Ever]

Put this dumbass football school back where they belong.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Good win from Kentucky, they needed this win badly. The defense the last 6 mins was terrible but it didn’t really matter. A 20 point *** kicking is still a damn good win

 

[bbnkat02]

22 point win. I’ll take that.

 

[jameslee32]

117-95

[Jack2936]

Bama gonna score 100 at this rate

 

[Shaudylo]

I look at the small things when a guy is struggling . At least Wagner is hustling back on D right there.

Hopefully he turns it around offensively . He’s locked in defensively

 

[bbnkat02]

Good win from Kentucky, they needed this win badly. The defense the last 6 mins was terrible but it didn’t really matter. A 20 point *** kicking is still a damn good win

Over the Number 1 offense in the county. I’ll take it.

 

[Thunder Mash]

Offense: amazing
Defense: dog doodoo

Win.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

We didn't let them get 100. Bama could have tied the 96 team for most 100 point games today so that a win win

 

[ala_kat2]

We gave up 15 layups to AL in the last 5 minutes

 

[LXWildcat]

Only negative takeaway from today is we still let Bama put up over 90, we won by a lot but giving up that many points has been a trend and sometimes haunts us

 

[TheBlueMist]

Cats win! Reds win! Good day!

 

[TankedCat]

had they stayed focus it could have been a 40 point win

 

[megablue]

Bama scores 95 and loses by 20 !!!
DAYAM !!!!

 

[Lazlo7]

Cal needs to get some starters out before we have a major injury to someone.

I have not seem him play deep bench players this year.

 

[HenryMuto]

Some idiots had Virginia ahead of Kentucky on the seed list

 

[Shaudylo]

Glad we got out of there without any injuries

 

[ck-2]

Great win! The lineup should be obvious now.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

The adjusted numbers SOS is factored in but that shouldn't really factor things too much.

They were predicted to score 88 in 75 poss based on our defensive ranking and their offense.

This has actually been pretty decent defensively

Blah. We sorta gave up I guess. But not good to let them get 95.

 

[ZenCatFan73]

Yay!!! Way to go Cats!!!

 

[NociHTTP]

Ugo desperately needs to start making an effort to rebound. ONE REBOUND, while Sheppard has six. Another thing he does that drives me nuts is he sets a screen and abandons it WAY before the shooter gets there, and then runs to the basket with his back to the ball. They know he's not looking for the pass, so it's a waste of clock.

Superior games today by Edwards and Z, allowing 95 points with your starters in so late is still worrisome. It's the same thing we've been talking about all season long. Being Loyola Marymount is hard to do for six games.

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

28-13 in the final 8 mins because of Cal's idiotic stall ball. Why does he deprive the fans of watching the game play out? Bama had 84 layups. They clearly wanted to keep playing. Just boggles my the way he thinks.

 

[entropy13]

Last 5 minutes were excruciating to watch. Prior 35 were amazing.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Take that 7 seed and shove it up your ….

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Tuesday is huge now. Kentucky is better than them, and a win would go along way

 

[RMorris33_rivals]

When this theme hits after a big win >>>

 

[bbnkat02]

Offense: amazing
Defense: dog doodoo

Win.

Defense was pretty damn good at times. Just not the last 6 minutes. But tbf the game was over big time by then.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Good win from Kentucky, they needed this win badly. The defense the last 6 mins was terrible but it didn’t really matter. A 20 point *** kicking is still a damn good win

They weren’t even guarding but the refs called 19 fouls still.

 

[$Z71$]

Good win from Kentucky, they needed this win badly. The defense the last 6 mins was terrible but it didn’t really matter. A 20 point *** kicking is still a damn good win

It was an absolute owning of Bama. They shot 57% from the field and never had a chance to win.

 

[megablue]

Glad we got out of there without any injuries

Damn good point !!

 

[Wildcats389]

Great win

 

[Kingslayer07]

28-13 in the final 8 mins because of Cal's idiotic stall ball. Why does he deprive the fans of watching the game play out? Bama had 84 layups. They clearly wanted to keep playing. Just boggles my the way he thinks.

We didn't stall at all. We ran offensive with pace. We SHOULD have taken more clock.

 

[ukfan117]

What a great game from these guys. The lineup that got us to 117 should be the ones who start instead of coming off the bench.

I've been really critical about Edwards this year and I'm very happy for him. You can see how happy he looks.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Cal must have read my thread, the ball movement returned and what do you know he played big Z and he’s got 18.

Z would have had more if he didn't take him out and put in Bradshaw, then Ugo...Z never got back in...

 

[cat_in_the_hat]

I'm going to remind people.

People killed Edwards. Now he's playing well.
Wagner might very well figure it out too.

Sometimes freshman just need some time.

I thought Wagner was coming on before his second ankle injury.

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Nice to see Justin happy and smiling. What a game kid! Carry that forward please.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Edwards “ we locked in defensively” you were great today man, but those last 6 mins Kentucky didn’t even attempt to play defense at all

 

[Shaudylo]

What a dumb question to Edwards lol
