The good news is our offense is keeping pace.

Well they are in the Top 3 offensive teams for a reason

.

right but they are putting numbers even ABOVE their averages........against a defense that we called historically good.

We've rebounded terribly. I think that has a lot to do with game being tied.

I have a feeling that this is going to be yet another game that goes down to the final possession.

Well, if it does I hope we're at least tied and we have the ball for that last possession, because I don't want to have to hit the last shot to tie or take the lead from behind, and with the way Wisconsin can hit, I definitely don't want them to have the last shot to win (tie, ok, but not to win).

Yep that's the big difference. We shot better, turned it over less ......they are just beating us on the boards

 

[jwm24_2000]

Rebounding is effort, guarantee 2nd half we will see effort, our offensive rebounds is not a big deal right now, not to many misses to get, shooting 60 percent, Andrew played great, he needs to drive every chance he can.

Did they just say we have 1 offensive rebound?????

Yup. One. We've only missed 10 shots so that's really only 3 missed rebounds that we would normally get, but it's a big difference. That and the blown out of bounds would account for 4-5 points.

 

[kat57]

I am so nervous. I've even told myself not to get nervous until the last 5 minutes. It is not working.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Wisconsin is 4th in the nation on the defensive boards so offensive rebounding was never going to be a huge plus in this one.

It's them grabbing offensive boards that's somewhat surprising.

 

[UKStewart82]

I never said we didn't shoot lights out too. But yes, 46% and 40% from the 3 is pretty lights out. Especially against our defense.

 

[capnmonkey]

Relax, cats by 8!

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Game changed for them when Gosser got his second. We need him to get his 3rd before Kat and the sooner the better. They're much weaker defensively without him.

Need to take control this half and not fall behind again.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

I think if we keep this pace up Dekker and Kaminsky will be on oxygen with two minutes left in the game.

 

[jackcarlson]

just 20 minutes of basketball away from the NC game

 

[basedhoop]

You don't want to let this come down to the final few possessions. Wisconsin is 116-3 in the last five years when leading with 5 minutes left to play.

Wisconsin...you shot the lights out and the ball bounced your way every single time...AND YOU STILL DONT HAVE A LED AT HALF! Kentucky is gonna put you away in the second half!

Actually Wisky shot in the 40% range while UK shot 60%

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Booker cannot defend Frank lol

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

we start hot, they start hotter

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

How many times is going to score on Booker before we stop giving them that mismatch?

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Touches to Flopinsky are fouls but our guys get hammered at the rim and there's no and one.

Booker is getting schooled by Tank.

 

[Seth C]

Ah. If only we could all be kaminkau.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

WCS bumped in the air on that lob

clear walk there not called

LOL. We gave them one of those 3 losses.

 

[catfaninsc_rivals377375]

Can't miss those bunnies.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

They are destroying Booker.

 

[HenryMuto]

Can't get a stop

 

[mrj-uk]

@@#$$$$%%%#@

 

[screwduke]

Bookers D is killing us

 

[caneintally]

Yep the twins need to get in Booker is getting abused.

 

[KY_Kid]

If we lose this game it's b/c we're going to go down insisting we switch every screen off the ball. It's how Wisconsin keeps getting mismatches with Kaminsky and Dekker.

 

[EnglandWildcat]

Scoring at will on us. Booker has given up two and ones. Well, I'm assuming Dekker hits this ft

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Damn. Come on Cat's.

 

[Askeladden]

Thanks Booker.

 

[CatsRWild]

They've studied us. Switching to attack Booker.

Booker missed layup looking for a foul. Got to finish or come out.

It's Harrison time.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

We can't get stops.

 

[UKGrad93]

Come on Cats!!!

Badgers getting everything to role in. Ugh...


GBB!!!

 

[LtDansArmy]

Booker is getting abused defensively.

Yep. Taking full advantage when he's on the floor.

Wisc just hitting everything they put up.

Need Harrisons on floor.

 

[Big_Blue79]

Three and-ones when going at Booker. They're killing him.

 

[Seth C]

Decker hooks like a professional ***** but Booker gets called for the foul.
