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

[Jakarii]

Agreed, against this team play some zone since they can't shoot. Key is keep switching it up so they can't adjust. Go some zone then some man then some match up zone

Huh, according to a fish on here we can't play any zone. Yes, bass, I'm pointing directly at YOU!

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Ok, well I've come off the ledge. We got down by 14, with no Fox, Bam on the bench with 2 fouls, and a officiating crew with Patch Adams and Tony Greene, and we come back to tie the game. We should go on to win now at least.

 

[justin_uk_5]

That ain't happening...

U sure?

 

[*CatinIL*]

I think the CATS turn it on in the second half.



I hope....

 

[NavyKat]

Total foul on Monk. Stupid move on his part to keep putting hand on player with ball. Foul every time. Immature move.

 

[chroix]

Nice body language Mark Fox

 

[KyFaninNC]

Here we are happy to be tied st half at home with UGA. Never thought I hold live to this.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

He kinda reminds me of Dwight Howard. Anybody ever notice that?

*ducks

[Jakarii]

So am I the only one yelling at the tv at Hump one minute gen the next saying "great job Hump"? Lol

 

[HenryMuto]

Welp, at least we can all go to bed early.

Cats aren't coming back from down 12

I am calling it out. Cats will win this game. Go to bed when you awake you will see a Cats win.

So many naysayers to start this game. Shame on you for having so little faith.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

It should be noted that the only points they scored against the zone was a long 3 that got the kindest bounce ever.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Cal needs to stay in the zone! That's how we got back in the damn game...soon as we went man, they scored!

They scored on the zone some the first time it was utilized. Bilas saw this because he knows basketball. I think the best bet is to mix the defenses up, not stay with one strategy the whole game.

 

[KYCAT78]

Tai played balls out for a good part of the half.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Here we are happy to be tied st half at home with UGA. Never thought I hold live to this.

Damn I phone.

 

[ala_kat2]

Somebody explain to me why they ignore the hand and the slap away 4 or 5 times, and then call a foul.

The defensive player is not allowed to gain an advantage by placing his hand on the opponent. It should actually be called more than it is. May work in the NBA, but I could never understand why that's ever allowed.

 

[TortElvisII]

The key in 2nd half is driving to the hoop and shooting a brick.

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

I would like to see wynyard and bam play together tonight.

 

[kybassfan]

What a completely idiotic foul on Monk. So dumb and just ignorant playing.

Cal is about to kill him

I agree. That was was bush league on Monk's part. Ref should have called double foul though.

 

[KYFOSSIL]

Great job getinng back into it but can't ignore yet another dreadful half.

Then offense continues to be garbage and the turnovers are out of control.

No Fox Bam or Mulder not to mention great defense and hustle. There I gave you something positive to focus on.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Tai needs more PT.

 

[ukfan041]

Tai is a bull down low...very raw, but a tough kid!

 

[stoneycat_20]

Cal needs to stay in the zone! That's how we got back in the damn game...soon as we went man, they scored!

Right,,This is why many were pissed at Cal for not trying the zone for a few min to see how it would work with KU

 

[HenryMuto]

29% from the field, 25% from the three and 8 turnovers and BAM hardly played and still tied.

This is the reverse of the Kansas game. We were up 5 at half vs Kansas and I felt terrible about it as we led by 12 and gave it away.

Right now I am feeling great about being tied after all the F ups and being down as much as 14.

 

[MarkPftw]

The hardest I've seen UK work in a long time. They worked their *** off to come back from 14 down to tie by halftime. It's improvement from what I saw the last two games. The Kansas game, we laid down in the 2nd half and played very dumb..the UT game, we played dumb and laid down for the first 30 minutes..this game, they worked their asses off, hustled, played hard, Coach Cal made adjustments, etc..hell yeah..all things I was questioning whether UK could do or not after the last two games.

 

[ck-2]

I have to give Cal credit for making a defensive adjustment. Even though it's three days late.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Here we are happy to be tied st half at home with UGA. Never thought I hold live to this.

It makes you wonder what the heck is in the water. The guys slept through the first half but I think they'll come out better in the 2nd.

 

[Icecoldbrewdoggy]

Interested to see the zone with Briscoe, Monk, Bam, Gabriel and Willis.

 

[IHATEUAVEL]

I'd like that explained myself.....

Monk gained an advantage in Tony Greene's ******** opinion thus a foul...In basketball it's a foul when you gain an advantage

 

[TortElvisII]

I have been trying to be positive. That first half got to me. Try to be better.

 

[kyjeff1]

Told y'all before the season that Bam has a low basketball IQ. Great physical talent

Yeah, but most freshmen get to learn over several years, besides the point, his position, which is not his natural position, is the next most difficult to master.
But by now he should know how to play without picking up dumb fouls.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Damn I phone.

No problem, I speak i phone.

 

[ala_kat2]

Good job by the guys, especially Gabriel fighting for those offensive rebounds, in getting back into this game.

 

[Nubb16]

Tennessee actually playing good after their UK win

I'll. Have what he is having

You mean like he stayed with M2M against KU when we couldn't stay in front of anyone?..got you

 

[KyCatFan1]

That whistle should have been to warn both players and no foul. The ref ignored it 4 times and finally had enough and called it on us. Should have said I will call a double foul if you both don't stop.

 

[kybassfan]

You call that playing zone? Swiss cheese is what it was. I understand why he did it, but we're just lucky GA went cold as hell.

 

[blubo]

I wonder when was the last time we only had 29 points in the first half?

 

[Jakarii]

It's a easy advantage if you put you're hand on a player. Much easier to defend and harder for a player to go past you. Try doing it at the gym next time you play and you'll see

Monk gained an advantage in Tony Greene's ******** opinion thus a foul...In basketball it's a foul when you gain an advantage

 

[morgousky]

Yep. Watching it on YouTube while building a gun with some fiends and was so pissed I missed it. Went back and sure enough.

I mean, fans have seen this for a while. Maybe we should give Cal pointers from time to time?
