''OFFICIAL GAME THREAD''

[Clarence Mason]

Gotta get Murray the ball. Too many possessions have gone by without him touching the rock.

 

[Bell Cat 70]

Murray going to lite it up in the 2nd half!!! We got this. GO BIG BLUE!!!

 

[wild mandu]

Regardless of what happens this game, I just don't think we have strong enough interior play to do much.

 

[Mike-D]

Wow, Cal basically saying guys are not looking for Murray on purpose.

No he didn't.

 

[Kycatspaws]

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

 

[ToniTonyToneDelkDelkDelk]

I'm confident we'll win. Derek needs to knock down these open looks. And Jamal will get cooking.

 

[mhroe1984]

Only down 4 with them hitting everything and us hitting nothing. I'll take it

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

I hope they all cramp up and fall over with fatigue

They would call a foul on us for that.

 

[Kats23]

im watching this game, what are you watching?

Don't talk about Willis unless it's sunshine and rainbows

 

[JohnnyGentle]

murray runs around like reggie miller on offense

willis has an ankle issue

3 games in 3 days

not sure those tired looking misses are going in after halftime

 

[wromanp7]

I just don't get how open we are leaving the perimeter.

Not hitting shots over a stretch is understandable... but not playing tough d is not.

 

[Floydboy12]

A & M looks tired. We good

 

[Tannerdad]

Just hit shots...period.

And if we can't get Murray involved we will lose. Simple game.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Folks, give Willis some credit here. His ankle isn't close to 100%. He is playing hard and doing a good job.

 

[stuway]

These are two damn good teams!! Both are gonna be tough outs in the dance.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

TAM is an excellent team, make no mistake. UK is an excellent team also, but we MUST find some way to stop their offensive rebounding, and we must begin to hit our shots.

 

[TheDude73]

Tam players are all bent over resting their hands on their hips. They're tired.

I noticed that. They stand around a lot as though they were anxious for halftime. Probably beat chasing us around.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

Only down 4 with them hitting everything and us hitting nothing. I'll take it

We're actually shooting 52% and them 43%.

 

[UKEE93]

Only down 4 with them hitting everything and us hitting nothing. I'll take it

We're shooting 52% vs 43%.

 

[hotelblue]

3 point line the main difference so far.

they're getting too many open looks imo. they'll miss eventually then just start making them again if left that open. on one play murray leaked early and caruso had an all day look from three. one of us could have made that one. i like our energy. they played a pretty good half just have to give them credit.

 

[CatsRWild]

Like the effort. Gotta fight harder on the boards and stay with shooters....same thing against UGA yesterday beating us today.

Ulis, Alex and Briscoe ballin.

Need Murray to start cooking to get the W against this AM team.

 

[caneintally]

Dude is it me or is this just like the game yesteday? They can't miss and we need to get it going in the 2nd half.

 

[TortElvisII]

This game will be won on the inside. I hope to be wrong. I sit here wondering how we are down 4.

 

[nmbr1uk]

A & M looks tired. We good

This!

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

We're actually shooting 52% and them 43%.

Yep, the difference is they are making 3s and hitting FTs, Kentucky isn't.

 

[Bkocats]

 

[Kycatspaws]

Ulis lead with 11 points. Briscoe, Murray and Poythress have six points apiece. Cats are shooting 52% FG, while holding A&M to 43%.

 

[bluedog79]

Danuel House and Jalen Jones hit 3's and Murray and Derek Willis missed three's. That's the difference in the game. If it goes that way again for the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half we are in trouble.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

I think our picks for Murray are too weak. If need be set some double screens or something. They just are not solid enough.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

I just don't get how open we are leaving the perimeter.

Not hitting shots over a stretch is understandable... but not playing tough d is not.

Our guards are giving them way to much space to shoot in order to protect the paint some, because our bigs are sitting with 2 fouls. I'm confident we will rectify that in the second.

 

[Kycatspaws]

The Cats are doing damage in the paint. We've got a feeling we're going to warm up from behind the arc.

 

[KYDave32]

Guard the perimeter better and get Murray going and they will be fine.

 

[jwm24_2000]

A&m looks way more tired then we do, hopefully with our bigs sitting with ,2 fouls alot in the 1st they will be more fresh. Jones and house look wore out, need to get Davis out of their, pick up that 3rd foul on him early in the 2nd half, I like the position were in

 

[ORCAT10]

Only down 4 with them hitting everything and us hitting nothing. I'll take it

Thinking the same thing.

 

[TortElvisII]

House pushing off to get the open 3 was a bad non call.

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Hopefully Poythress doesn't do his usual and pick up an early 3rd foul. A&M really started killing UK on the offensive boards when Poythress went out with his 2nd

 

[Stonewall12]

Willis is no help if he can't make wide open threes. He has missed 3 where he was wide open.

Yea he is worthless..[eyeroll]x10000

 

[Stonewall12]

im watching this game, what are you watching?

You don't know what a . MF brick is I know that.

 

[lcp3557]

Them big bodies don't like to run!
