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

[.S&C.]

I assumed going in to the year that we wouldn't be a real threat because we were built on guards and thin bigs and wouldn't be defensively tough enough to win it all.

That said I thought it was going to be a blast because we'd be able to shoot and run and be a blast to watch all season.

I was wrong. They are actually decent on defense and wretched on offense.

Guilty as well.

 

[Brando Mac]

How many push offs have teams gotten away with against us this season?

 

[Bluest Member]

By making sure you take the last shot on offense and give them no time to take tge shot.
Got any other questions?
Look, all those threes were wide open shots, our defense was awful.

Maybe you should apply for Calipari's job,you seem to have all the answers and know more than him,I'll bet you could beat UK single handed too

 

[Brooklyncats]

I wanted to turn away but I couldn't.

This is almost absurd at this point. I wish Calipari would make some adjustments, anything.

WHEN guys are missing point blank layups Cal can't do anything

 

[mhroe1984]

so that's like 5 push offs they've committed this game with no whistle

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Skal=7 ft off suck

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

They are ******* getting away with pushoffs every ******* POSSESSION AND WE GET CALLED FOR LITTLE TICK TACK ****. IF I WAS IN THE ARENA, I'D BE BEATING FUCLING AYERS' HEAD INTO THE ******* COURT AT THIS POINT. ******* THESE REFS!!##!!!!!

 

[Wildcatfan66]

They are ****ing getting away with pushoffs every ****ING POSSESSION AND WE GET CALLED FOR LITTLE TICK TACK ****. IF I WAS IN THE ARENA, I'D BE BEATING FUCLING AYERS' HEAD INTO THE ****ING COURT AT THIS POINT. ****ING THESE REFS!!##!!!!!

I agree, the OSU push offs are pretty bad, and pretty frequent.

 

[*CatinIL*]

I really am not looking forward to the Louisville game. They may wax the floor with us. There defense will absolutley smother us.

I'd play zone and dare UK to make the 3. I don't know what type of defensive players they have though...

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Why does Murray always wait till we down double digits to start doing this lol

Because Cal is wrongly insisting on him driving all the time.

 

[Comebakatz3]

Why does Murray always wait till we down double digits to start doing this lol

How many times have we actually been down double digits?

 

[kyjeff1]

Mirror image of the UCLA game and for no reason. How did this team beat duke?
Well, if the Randal team can lose double digit games I can only imagine how many this one will suffer. A home loss to UL is very possible after watching this junk.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

UK sucks. But OSU is getting away with more pushing off than any game I have seen in a while.

The refs have established that they aren't going to call it every single possession. If you make it part of your gameplan, they will only call it 20% of the time.

 

[LmdCat]

It makes no sense to me. The way we played at the beginning of the year and against Duke and no we're uninspired. I mean what the hell? What would cause that? It makes ZERO sense! Ulis needs to run this team. No one is getting rebounds or boxing out. Zero second chance points.

When a young team starts off playing well but are often criticized because they didn't do it the way you want them to, they will eventually tune you out. I think this team has gotten tired of hearing the nonstop yelling.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

Unreal.....

 

[mhroe1984]

boy when it rains it pours! All you can do is laugh at this point...

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Skal=7 ft off suck

I don't understand why he's playing and Hump or willis can get no minutes. He's aweful right now.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

We get a turnover and they get a 3 within 2 seconds. At this point, we're playing for next season.

 

[Bkocats]

The last time I turned off a UK game was in 1994
This game is probably over

 

[Comebakatz3]

9 of 16 from three. Just unbelievable. Hard to beat that.

 

[.S&C.]

There ha go cal they gave ya an oop.....

 

[mrj-uk]

 

[.S&C.]

CCCCAAAAALLLLLLL

kidding.....

Kind of.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Are they coming ALIVE?!?!

 

[Goingfor9]

Briscoe needs to be on bench

 

[Comebakatz3]

Murray is on fire!!!!

 

[.S&C.]

Hello Jamal.

 

[kat57]

Let me guess, the Patriots are your favorite football team and the Yankees are your favorite baseball team?

Just in case you missed it he said Ohio State was his favorite football team.

 

[Bkocats]

look good for a minute then blow it, geez

 

[.S&C.]

People, is everyone aware of just how bad Skal is for his ranking and position in the draft? Am I taking crazy pills?

 

[chroix]

Skal is lost most of the time.

 

[Goingfor9]

Put Lee on the bench with Briscoe. Lee cannot keep up

 

[TortElvisII]

Our rebounding reminds me of Rodman and Moses Malone....the teams playing against them anyway.:boxing:

 

[*CatinIL*]

Murray is on fire!!!!

Someone shoved a stick of dynamite up his ***! He's been on fire...FINALLY!

 

[Comebakatz3]

Our on the ball defense is actually too aggressive IMO. We take too many risks to get skills and in doing so we let the opposing player get around us. If we just play well and keep the ball in front of us I think we'd be better defense.

 

[Kycatspaws]

In the second half alone, Murray has 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting. He's a perfect 5 of 5 from 3-point range since halftime.

 

[kyjeff1]

I don't know if Murray making all these shots is going to end up being a good thing. Yes it cut the lead down but now he's goung to keep checking off balance shots up there. I hope Cal reins him in a little. Those circus shots won't continue to fall.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I'll call it and hope for the best, we come back and win!

 

[JayCatz44]

We go to block shots and they get offensive rebounds. Over and over.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but we would be playing just as well playing w/another guard out there, instead of Skal. He's just taking up a spot on the floor on both ends.
