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

Can we ever hold a ******* lead

 

[dckala2_rivals16641]

Great d by Willis leaving the shooter wide open

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Why did Poythress go out?

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Willis gives up wide open three. He was the closest man, he should picked him up. Lee was already in the paint.

Edit: on replay Lee wasn't in the paint. But it was still Willis's man to pick up.

 

[Brando Mac]

While we are in halftime, Who you got? Bengals or Steelers? I think Steelers win 24-14.

Heart says Bengals by 3 on a last minute drive.

Head and history says Pittsburgh by 50.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Maybe Lee should shoot his free throws like he's serving a volleyball. It would likely be as effective as he is now.

 

[UKDC80]

Just maddening to watch this team and their terrible defensive lapses

 

[UKWildcats#8]

The importance of the 3 point shot has never been more clear than in this run by Alabama. Whether it is 3 point plays or actual 3's...that is their whole offense pretty much and we cannot stop it.

 

[stoneycat_20]

How dumb are you to leave the 1 guy hitting 3's wide open

 

[LmdCat]

If we can start using pick and rolls on offense to help our team, why not use some zone when we have Willis on the court so that we can leverage his three point shooting?

 

[Mike-D]

That's why Willis doesn't play as much. Can't guard the water bucket.

 

[Brando Mac]

Yup, this one's gonna be a grinder... :boxing:

 

[3 fan_rivals214492]

That's why Willis doesn't play much. His guy drains open three

 

[RoyKent]

Cats up 16 at 1:30 left in first half with ball to go up even more.

Since then Alabama is on a huge run

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Willis is a cancer to the defense

 

[ZaytovenCat]

Come on man every one knows that kid is a moron . Have had him on ignore for like 4 years. Just do it and save your brains cells trying to figure out his garbage.

Considering you followed me around forever up until a year ago I'd say your 4 years are FOS. Besides, I'm not to moron that wrongfully predicted every single missed recruit to commit here this past year. You cemented your legacy with that stretch of stupidness.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

I honestly believe without that first 3 point play we are blowing them out right now, collapse ever since

 

[JasonS.]

Obashohan kid is a fun player.

Alabama is horrible, but spunky.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

If we can start using pick and rolls on offense to help our team, why not use some zone when we have Willis on the court so that we can leverage his three point shooting?

You don't cater your team offense or defense to the 8th man.

 

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

Ahh SEC basketball fans....only exist when playing Kentucky

 

[Bkocats]

Poy having a helluva game

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Who is the guy they keep showing in the crowd that's a Bama fan who obviously met his sister/date on farmers only.com? I'm sure it's not aj mccarron

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

If we can start using pick and rolls on offense to help our team, why not use some zone when we have Willis on the court so that we can leverage his three point shooting?

Or why not leave him on the bench.

 

[Kamuka]

That's why Willis doesn't play a lot. I doubt cal puts him back in the remainder of the game.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

He walked on that 3 point attempt

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Stupid foul.

 

[mrj-uk]

You big dope

 

[Bkocats]

<groan> do not foul a three point shooter - hopefully he won't hit 'em (but you know he will)

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

this teem is dum

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Wish I could remember who it was that called Alex garbage the last game. I put him on ignore anyway.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

You don't cater your team offense or defense to the 8th man.

Exactly. When it's bad you just make him the 10th man.

 

[LmdCat]

That's why Willis doesn't play as much. Can't guard the water bucket.

It is a simply matter of adjusting the defense to his personnel instead of trying to force guys to play man when it is obvious that we can't. It makes as much sense as Bama not using the zone on us when it has worked so well for teams that have beaten us.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

Murray 3rd foul...we need Hawk back soon.

 

[Mike-D]

Cats up 16 at 1:30 left in first half with ball to go up even more.

Since then Alabama is on a huge run

Willis was afraid of contact, so instead of getting the rebound, he let's Alabama grab the rebound and get an and 1. Then they come back down to hit a 3 to pull it to within 10 before the half.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Really thought we had something going, coming together as a team

Guess not

He has adjusted it. Willis is on the bench.

 

[LmdCat]

Or why not leave him on the bench.

Because you can't benefit from his shooting which this team badly needs with him on the bench.

 

[Bkocats]

we need a three

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Dude just pushed Ulis out of the way and they just let them play

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

How can you not finish that?
