********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[Burly]

Get physical with us and our bigs crumble. DJ can't finish need to try something else. Jones best big in this game by far

Happens all the time. We have to be leading the NCAA at missed / blocked shots inside 2 inches. Good Night DUNK the ball.

 

[HenryMuto]

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ZaytovenCat]

It's obvious Cal has told them to throw it inside every possession and it's killing them. He thought Vandy would be an easy game to experiment and it's kept it close. Stop throwing the damn ball in the post and starting shooting.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Embarrassing

 

[Kycatspaws]

24,249 are in the house tonight. They've brought the noise tonight.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

I know Cal likes to feed the ball inside but that isn't working tonight. Maybe a few perimeter shots please????

 

[kingrex3]

W T F ....... Good grief!!!

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

One thing our bigs do not do is ball fake.

Maybe that's why they always fall for fakes on defense.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Offense is just painful.

 

[wildcatdonf]

That girl is causing some Hartungs tonight.

 

[kyjeff1]

Sigh, well, looks like we're in for another tight one guys. We are having to work way too hard for a bucket.
Anyone seen Townes?

 

[richbrookstomato]

Why can't Aaron make the runner? He needs that shot to fall to get drafted. You would think he would work daily on that shot.

Yeah, crickets do that.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

This is the worst passing I've seen all year.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

I wonder how Ulis/Aaron on one platoon and Andrew/Booker on the other would work.

 

[gocats012089]

Guards are all coming WEAK off screens. A little more hustle on O may open up a few looks

 

[caneintally]

cant believe i am saying this but please shoot 3's guys .

We have a winner !!!!!

 

[WildMoon]

remember AD's basic baseline jumper. I miss that.

I also miss AD's basic hook shot around 8ft from the paint.

simple straight up shots. BUCKET BUCKET BUCKET.

simple easy play that was unblockable. Not sure why WCS doesn't do more of that, i doubt anyone can block him. Too quick.

I hate to say it, but Dakari simply isn't that good. He has good hands but is slow, soft, and can't finish in traffic 95% of the time. For a guy his size he should be bullying his way to 12-8 every single night, but instead he tends to get blocked on half his shots, usually by guys far smaller than he is.

 

[Runt#1969]

Concerning game, but Vandy's playing well. Tempo suits them fine. Gonna have to win this one with our defense and find a way to do enough offensively... somehow, someway.

 

[Burly]

We got no bigs who can finish. Throwing the ball to WCS is a waste. So frustrating

 

[Bluest Member]

poor passing,either trying to dump it off into a crowd or throwing lackluster passes with a defender in the passing lane

Time to try some kind of offense besides passing to the bigs or driving at the basket with the middle packed

Can't anybody shoot a mid-range shot,hell hit a few threes.anything

Don't need to ball fake............7 foot 250 plus lbs........under the basket. IF you can't dunk it then someone else should be on the floor.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Scouts in the house and the players are playing for themselves.

 

[CatsRWild]

No calls on contact when we are shooting is getting a little ridiculous.

Are we playing at Vandy?

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Thank God for Lee

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Nice pass by Aaron to Lee.

Refs bail Vandy out of course as we try to get momentum.

 

[Bluest Member]

Than God for Marcus Lee

 

[NavyKat]

Lyles seems off. Not finishing, missing assignments on D, and playing way too soft. Although he is not the only one struggling tonight.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

What happened to Hawkins. MIA

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Finally, Lee figuring out what he can do best!! nice

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Towns isn't playing with energy tonight.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Lot of ticky tack fouls on UK. Who said we were getting a friendly whistle?

For some reason our guys have a hard time getting into games against teams we should handle easily. Happened at least four times this year and it makes for extremely tough games to watch, and that's not counting how bad the crowd at Rupp is during these games. At times this team simply hates teams that play physically against them.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Game ball goes to Lee

 

[fisherscat]

Lyles?

 

[sefus12]

And Dakari may be the worst I've ever seen at UK when it comes to finishing through contact. How can the most physically intimidating guy we have be the worst at making a lay-up in traffic?

 

[Bluest Member]

about time the hackadores got called for 3 players mugging down low
