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

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Cal didn't seem too upset.

 

[ukfan041]

Whew.....bad half is an understatement!

 

[RoyKent]

Simmons played 9 minutes and scored 2 points.

UK is getting run. #MakesSense #NotReally

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Cal didn't seem too upset.

He knows this is a process

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

This team is so hard to like - selfish, dumb play, no talent up front, stupid shots.

Agree for the most part, Comet.

 

[ukfan606]

Down 10 and Simmons only has 2 and didn't play at all.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm glad next week is going to suck for the team. Cal is going to ride them, I'd almost like to watch that more than watch the actual games.

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

Cal didn't seem too upset.

Pitiful

 

[IYAOYAS1]

9pm games on the road = garbage.

 

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

ESPN had a "Kentucky ineptitude" graphic.... lol HML

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

He knows this is a process

Process usually entails gradual improvement no?

 

[zannmann]

Poythress and Briscoe are killing us.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Alex has missed his last 4 FTs.

 

[kingrex3]

There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS AT KENTUCKY... NONE! Simmons BARELY played and we are down 10 to an average (at best) team!

 

[al.ksr]

Hah, Cal tried to end the interview but Shannon Spake wasn't having it.

 

[Nubb16]

Briscoe is the rare guard that you’d rather see shooting free throws than shooting a field goal

I'm not sure I understand. I'd rather he ever shot anything.

 

[LmdCat]

Mulder and Willis suck on defense, it's why they don't play more.

You still want to criticize these two players as if there is anyone else on the team doing something to brag about. What has Briscoe done tonight? Other than hitting that wild drive to the basket, he has done nothing.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Make them sit in the bathroom stall and eat pop tarts until they gag!

 

[Rhavic]

Have we had a mentally weaker team? I'm convinced that 75% of Kentucky's woes are due to mental weakness.

 

[WeWant9_rivals]

Wowzer, that was bad. Here's to a better second half

 

[paul.ksr]

For the people that say the LSU coach can't coach please shut up. They are beating us without Simmions

 

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

A lot of people who don't post a whole lot randomly show up when we suck it up.....hmmm

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Hah, Cal tried to end the interview but Shannon Spake wasn't having it.

At least he doesn't duck them.

It's why they don't play more. It's fact. If you don't like it then go elsewhere.

 

[BigBlueCatNation]

Good observation and one that I agree with totally.

 

[zannmann]

How come the Simmons punch wasn't reviewed? He should have been given a T at minimum.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Somebody get jay Williams a motorcycle and duct tape. I can't sta him

 

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

For the people that say the LSU coach can't coach please shut up. They are beating us without Simmions

He really can't though. theyre not playing particularly well either. we are just playing worse

 

[MychalG]

worst first half I have seen by a UK team in quite awhile. They are lucky they are not further behind. This team has a LONG ways to go to even be thought of as threat come tourney time.

 

[RoyKent]

LSU gave up 108 points to North Florida. Kentucky has 27 at the half.

 

[WalkersGoggles_rivals310859]

Have to play more tougher.really really really more tougher.

 

[UK till Death]

I guess Briscoe gets 35+ minutes a game no matter how bad he is sucking on the court.

 

[VFO]

Reminds me of the Archie years. We're we really ranked 1 at one time this year?

 

[Anon1712931820]

Wow at most of these posts. We play the worst half of basketball all year and we are only down 10 @ LSU against LeBron...I mean Simmons. Simmons having 2 points is all defense and once he went out our game plan went out the window. Cal will adjust and this will be a game in the second half and all of you idiots acting like Cal doesn't know what he is doing will go back into your holes atleast for a few more days.

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

Mulder needs to play. He's been a little spark tonight. No idea why cal pulled him. 5 points and 5 rebounds fast. He can jump and shoot. Make free throws.

Briscoe drives me nuts. How are you a point guard and can't make free throws. I just don't understand it's not like he has rondo size hands. He shouldn't shoot anything but layups.

 

[TortElvisII]

Truly great players like Simmons...are better at being decoys than anything.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Process usually entails gradual improvement no?

They looked pretty improved vs UL and Ole Miss.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

Ulis or Murray should launch an NBA 3 every time they cross mid court. Could work.

 

[SosaUK]

Serious question...can someone tell me the last game Briscoe made a jumper?

High school.

I'm watching until the half then I'm done. This is so bad that it's literally painful to watch...

Don't give up man. It sucks but it is what it is and it ain't what it ain't.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Seldom-used Mulder gets 6 boards in 6 minutes and Poythress/Lee/Humpries/Willis have 4 for an entire half - awful.
