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

[RoyKent]

Terrible half for UK.

Just giving away this lead.

60-34 at 17:57. Since then Cats have been outscored 22-10. 10 points in 13 minutes

Cal's signature stall offense on full display.

 

[blubo]

just feed it to murray. every time. and briscoe takes the three??

 

[Bkocats]

BRISCOE PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT THREES!!!!!!!

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

I friggin despise our late game offense.

 

[.S&C.]

Haven't made a shot in 5 minutes and Briscoe shoots.

Cal doesn't need to allow that.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Brisco 3 pointer attempt is like a turnover.

 

[ZakkW]

Same **** 3 possessions in a row.

 

[.S&C.]

Does Cal call these stall-like sets with 10 minutes left? This is hard to watch

In fairness the record is exceptional when we do it. But it can cost us in some games I agree.

 

[clew84]

God this is some dumb basketball.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

I really like Humphries.

 

[Nubb16]

We had to be like 78 points better than Kansas last year to win by 32 because Cal refuses to blow people out.

 

[mhroe1984]

22 points this half

 

[Kycatspaws]

Murray with a sweet move scores at the rim.

 

[Bkocats]

Yes, just like that
go to Murray

 

[ck-2]

BRISCOE PLEASE DO NOT SHOOT THREES!!!!!!!

Briscoe please don't shoot anything but layups.
Fixed it for you.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Hump has earned some more PT today. At least, if Cal lives up to his word.

 

[.S&C.]

Hunphreys is buying more minutes.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Murray's now got 32 points. He's flirting with a career high, a John Calipari era high and a UK freshman high.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Issac earning himself some playing time.

 

[clew84]

4 people standing under basket. Smh.

 

[Bkocats]

couple of great plays, then allow a three
I love my team, I love my team, I love my team - really I love these guys, but......frustrating

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Are we the only team in the country that runs a prevent offense?

 

[richbrookstomato]

Humphries has stepped it up today. We need him to play strong.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I know people hate this but it's the right thing to do

First off, Poy is gone, Skal has 4 , Lee has 4...........we have to limit possessions here.

We are fine. Up 15.

 

[.S&C.]

Was ate alive for saying we wouldn't need Poythress. Terrible post blah blah.

It made someone step up and we need that. It all worked out.

 

[wall2rondo]

If anything humph gives us 5 more fouls a couple rebounds and a bucket or two.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

One more basket Murray

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Murray gets a break on a high bounce on a shot and UF gets 3 balls that just happen to bounce out to get open 3s. I've never seen a season where so many teams bank shots or hoist up so many makes after bad bounces than this UK team has faced this season.

 

[LetsHang#9]

i just want the clock to run out.

 

[Bkocats]

Briscoe please don't shoot anything but layups.
Fixed it for you.

thanks friend - that's what I meant

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Cal will never give up stall ball, no matter what the price.

 

[richbrookstomato]

The slower the tempo of the game, the worse our offense bogs down.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Briscoe please don't shoot anything but layups.
Fixed it for you.

And only shoot layups if there is no defender in sight to alleviate any chance of getting fouled. He couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Murray and Ulis have a combined 50 points. :clap:

 

[mdlUK.1]

Cal will never give up stall ball, no matter what the price.

Our guys are tired. Played a lot of minutes. And Florida could get hot.

 

[caneintally]

I know people hate this but it's the right thing to do

First off, Poy is gone, Skal has 4 , Lee has 4...........we have to limit possessions here.

We are fine. Up 15.

Anyone who doesn't get why prevent O for THIS team is right they just aren't very bright. Now with last year's team? Hell no.

 

[Runt#1969]

Good effort so far today. Satisfied to continue and pull in the win here and step up to the next challenge, still got so much to work out.

 

[ck-2]

thanks friend - that's what I meant

:sunglasses:

 

[kat57]

Gottlieb is harsh.

He just said what a lot of people are thinking. I think most coaches feel this way.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

I can't wait to read coach cut nets synopsis of this game!
