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

[jwm24_2000]

Last I checked they play 2 halfs right? I've seen uc play about 10 times this year, probably one of the best 20 minutes they have had all year, the severity kid is definitely playing above himself, he just like his team will be gassed around the 10 minute mark, UK will win this one by 20.

When we get in a game against multiple three point shooters, unless Booker and Aaron heat up the hole will get pretty deep. The good news is we do well at free-throw line in tight games, Cincy really pushing back underneath rim.

All I've heard out of CBS people for a week is when will Kentucky lose and no credit for anything,at least ESPN gives credit where credit is due

Lundquest and Sparknarkel have been blatantly biased at times,did a whole documentary on how physical UK bigs are

[mikelies]

Yeah yeah, low post count, whatever. Doesn't make me any less of a fan. I've listened to or watched every UK game for the past 25+ years. Maybe the commentary just bothers me less now.

 

[jwm24_2000]

Deberry kid sorry about that

 

[Uk44cats]

Need to come out strong to start this half. Say a 10-2 run to put us in control. See what Cincy does on offense with a double digit deficit!!

Please hit some jump shots this half!!!

 

[fs-ripcord65]

Booker isn't forcing things terribly ... but's he's forcing shots a bit. Not really letting the game come to him.

Just MHO, of course.

Maybe we'll get up comfortably in the second half and Cal will tell him, "Look, Devin -- keep shooting." Maybe if some of the pressure is off they'll start dropping for him.

My son and I were just talking about the same thing. I don't want them to glorify us in every breath, but give credit when its due. 35-0 means a lot of teams have tried and we have survived, we are a bit better than some want to admit imo.

This game should show everyone who doesn't understand the concept of free throws, how important they are. Lots of things can happen in games, but free throws are the one thing you can control. We will win or lose this tournament at the free throw line, not matter how we play.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Andrew was scoreless for the 1st half. We need for him to get back to form.

 

[catfaninsc_rivals377375]

Press em to start this half. Speed em up and force them into the lane.

Kenny Smith downplays everything UK does,he might die if he gave credit for UK's season

[loublue22_rivals308424]

lame start

 

[richbrookstomato]

What is Karl doing?!!!!

 

[Hjack]

Dumb foul, Karl!

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

haha, Devin makes it after the whistle

toughest luck for him right now

 

[mhroe1984]

There's officially a lid on the basket for Devin Booker.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Booker cannot buy a damn shot.

 

[Bluest Member]

can't buy a basket

 

[The_Catfather]

Annnd a missed 2 footer leads to a 3-point play on the other end. It's like there's a lid on the rim.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Our guards need to crash the boards. They are getting some long rebounds and then getting transition buckets.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

so far we've missed three good looks and now they're going to make it a one possession game again

the exact opposite of the start we wanted

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

****** start to 2nd half as well.

 

[hotelblue]

"now stay down" then they score and then they feel good. laughing and joking. lol

 

[oboroCATfan]

We look completely flat out of the half. Cincinnati has all the energy

 

[UKCatsFan10]

I can't think of any scenario where WCS should shoot a fadeaway jump hook, yet he does it constantly.

 

[clew84]

So frustrating this game.

 

[catfaninsc_rivals377375]

Ummmm CATS their guys have a few fouls... ATTACK THE RIM

 

[Bluest Member]

LET'S GO CATS !!!!

GO BIG BLUE !!!! GO BIG BLUE !!!!

 

[UKWildcats#8]

UK does this every game I swear. Comes out and lets a team make a run.

And poor Booker. He just can't hit a shot.

 

[mikelies]

Ellis is a piece of ****

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

And there is the thug move by the clifton methcats.

 

[ZakkW]

At this point Booker really should not take any more 3s. I know 'shooters shoot' but he just doesn't have it today.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

this is unbelievable with Booker

 

[clew84]

Ellis is such a f'in punk.

Booker is horrible right now

 

[K-Town Kat]

Nothing dirty? He body checked him after the whistle.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

You just kicked a bear, you dipshits.

 

[Comebakatz3]

There again... Booker puts up a three pointer and missed it, but after he shot it he just stood there and watched it. Then a long rebound allowed a runout. Luckily they missed it... twice, but still a lazy play.


Ellis intentionally fouled UK right there. Can't just throw his body/shoulder into someone. Dirty player IMO.
