Man I love this team. Just play so well together. At times almost too unselfish.

Magnificent half of basketball by the Cats!!

Even with no help from the totally inept officiating crew!

It worked out fine for us by how in the hell did the red see Harrison go out of bounds there? Because I watched it several times and he just didn't.

Great first half by the Cats. A few turnovers, but some were the result of taking a risk like Cal was talking about a few days ago. Refs are a complete joke again. Arkansas cannot beat us.

Go Big Blue!!!!!!!!

Oh my I thought that was going in from half court.

GREAT 1ST HALF!!!!

DO NOT LET UP IN THE 2ND HALF!

SHOW NO MERCY, LEAVE NO DOUBT!!!!!!

SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY!!!!!!!!

All right, now, I don't want them to get *another point!* * You press... all... night!* If they score again, I'm gonna take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember, *forever*, the night they played the Wildcats!

Great first half.

Bigs played well.

Twins played well.

Ulis played well - he is impossible to press. Ark called off the press because of him.

Man, I would feel so much better if Booker would turn it around in the NCAA tourney. I don't mean this to sound like I am saying he is selfish, because I am definitely NOT saying that. However, he is probably the 3rd option, and I think on a team where is the 1st or 2nd option, he would really blossom. I just think it's hard for him to get in the flow in some of these games.

Well at least it will be harder to hide the No Calls on Arkansas with the Cats at Calipari's end on offense in the 2nd half,unfortunately these POS refs will find a way to keep the score at the spread as usual

It would be nice to have a game thread about the game, and not 1000 post about refs. Yes, Vitale does take shots at us, after reading this thread, I see why.

Vitale called out the Cats fans because according to him if the Cats don't win the trophy then the fans will have their overreaction and say the team had a disappointing season. The big bad mean Wildcats fans can't be satisfied. I don't normally put much stock in it, but to a man our players will be disappointed if they don't win it all. Just one of those little jabs he likes to throw in.

i think we had some unusual TOs in first half.

If it wasn't for that, we would have additional 4-6 points.

But he's right. Don't you remember after last season, when our guys came back to an empty gym for that welcome home? Or all those fans yelling profanities at them from the roadside?

Kidding aside, it's become the accepted "reality" that UK fans are not satisfied with anything but a title every single year. That gets parroted by every talking head, except a few like Bilas and DeCourcy.

well - we DO Have another half to play. Look for Arky to make a run - cut it to 7-8 pt, then hold fairly even for a while. Cats pull away late.

I hope that's the worst case scenario anyway. Still extremely nervous though

Quick start the first 5 minutes of second half and Arkansas will quit

All I ask for each year is to be in the conversation as a team that could win it. I have been around a long time a fully understand how hard it is to win the championship. I don't know one single person in my circle that thinks the way the media likes to paint us. Go CATS!!!!!!!!

His butthurt is showing since the dookies and tarholes lost again.

You have to wonder about Anderson's strategy wanting to make Kentucky's big run, well he's seen about 3 dunks by their big men running the floor, not impressed with him or his coaching, never have been.

Anderson not the sharpest tool in the shed.
