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

[blubo]

We have excellent guards, but after that i'm becoming a little concerned.
I hope next weeks game vs unCHEAT doesn't spoil my annual family christmas get together, where we usually all enjoy a win.

 

[morgousky]

Defense is severely overrated right now. Average defense, average offense, average rebounding team. Unless they improve in droves in all areas except transition it's gonna be a disappointing tournament. Hopefully cal works some magic and we look totally different in march.

 

[kyjeff1]

Hofstra came to play. Doesn't appear that our guys are all that interested honestly.

They are getting to every loose ball and unfortunately there are a ton of weird bounces off the rim from some God awful bricks.

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

This defense is a disgrace.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Hawkins on the team because he's a Kentucky boy, that's all... game hasn't progressed a bit in four years lol.. we should drop in the polls for this showing..

That's a piss poor take Damn kid bailed our *** out more than once , all while accepting his role as a bench player . Dumb **** like this pisses me off

 

[Calsthebomb]

Not a good team right now.

 

[John Henry]

Surely we are not looking ahead to the tarholes

 

[144catfan]

This team simply has a lot of areas to improve on. We better start this week or UNC*** will embarrass us.

 

[Dakota25]

Well I'm watching the first half on lunch break. Kind of glad I'm working the second half with how UK is playing.

 

[nookam]

Do we have any plays on offense? All I see is jacking up shots and standing around.

I agree. Why does it seem so many teams run offense and have the right cutters getting open shots or layups. We do nothing.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

We have a long way to go but it's still December.

 

[fisherscat]

Definitely see the limitations with this team. Bam is not quite the interior monster I thought he would be...that we need him to be for us to have a high ceiling.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

we are going to struggle on the road in the sec. thank god the sec sucks like usual

 

[Calsthebomb]

Unc gotta be licking their chops.

 

[KyCatFan1]

All the guards run in to rebound on the 3 and allow the long rebound. What happened to finding a man and putting a body on them on rebounds? This team seems to have regressed in some areas.

 

[sluggercatfan]

Bam= nba he is playing no matter what

 

[nookam]

We could lose to both UNC and UL.

 

[wromanp7]

Free throws the story thus far

 

[cardkilla_rivals379685]

we've got a long way to go folks...but it's gonna be a fun ride. We'll be fine.

These guys allow teams to hang around

what's our winning point margin again? Bwahaha wrong

 

[Fancatstik]

25 point favorite hmm

 

[WildMoon]

I don't get why anyone brings up a name on our UK TEAM.

as if one person is blame for this sloppy play. The whole team has been a slight disappointment

 

[dckala2_rivals16641]

Hofstra fans goin hard

 

[MrLair]

God dammit I hate how we can't make FTs

 

[KentuckyStout]

Can't even hit a GD free throw.

 

[Untouchables22]

Pretty sure I mentioned that and got destroyed for it.. bam looks about as smart as a bag of hammers on defense.. to look so physical, he's soft as hell.. at least the Titans are winning though [thumb2]

He suddenly thinks he is Anthony Davis and is trying to block every shot with help side defense. Unfortunately he isn't getting the blocks and his man is getting layups off the missed shots.

 

[Bkocats]

my head hurts

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

I agree. Why does it seem so many teams run offense and have the right cutters getting open shots or layups. We do nothing.

Damn AAU ball

 

[kyjeff1]

These guys allow teams to hang around

Huh? So one team is hanging around and it's viewed as the norm? These guys have been blowing everyone's doors off.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Give them a break they have the flu again .

 

[fisherscat]

We are young.

 

[anon1763419335]

fox is so critical for this team. him in foul trouble just hurts everything we want to do

 

[ukfan041]

Bam= nba he is playing no matter what

Who the hell you want to play instead?

 

[TortElvisII]

The interior defense is incredibly soft.

 

[cardkilla_rivals379685]

this team went down hill once Fox went out with 2 fouls...he's only our best or 2nd best player.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

No team defense whatsoever. UNC will score at will against us.
I keep saying it, we need Orlando Antigua back on the bench. Talent evaluation has taken a dip since he left.

 

[kyjeff1]

This team can't rebound nor play solid defense. Bam shouldn't play until he learns to rebound

Stop it. How do you think he is going to learn?
He's doing what he's told to do. Block shots.

 

[KentuckyStout]

I guess we are going with a four-guard offense now.

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Mulder now 4-4 from the foul line in his career

 

[Bluesnky]

It's hard to be proficient in all areas of the game when you consistently play 3 of 5 players in the wrong position.

 

[sluggercatfan]

I agree. Why does it seem so many teams run offense and have the right cutters getting open shots or layups. We do nothing.

Cal = just get to the rim
