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

[LineSkiCat14]

Cal seems happy.. I agree.. They are mugging us and yet we are still up 2 by a sure fire top25 team... In some regards top15.

Team is focused, that usually means we win.

 

[feel_the_mashburn]

If people keep saying WSU sucks then what do they think of us?

We are outplaying them at every aspect of the game, soundly. Once the refs start calling it fairly, game over, we win by 15.

 

[BBUK_anon]

Fox is going to have to lose a limb to get a foul called.

Played like **** and up 2. We'll win this game, but the road will end soon after, imo.

Keep calling for UK to lose. That's the spirit![eyeroll]

 

[ktbug]

The chubby one likes to clear out. He is getting away with murder.

 

[caneintally]

I popped in to see if people would think Fox got fouled on that last shot and alas, I am not disappointed. He was not touched. Took a bad shot.

It was a good shot shot poorly. he wasnt fouled though. He has been fouled like 5 times not called but that wasn't one of them.

 

[fisherscat]

This WSU team is not in the neighborhood of that 2014. Not remotely close. They look like a 10 seed barely. So do we today

 

[richbrookstomato]

Quit driving into the wall,they aren't calling the fouls,

Got to create for the shooters!!! They are leaving the corner shooter open.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Someone grab a couple shackles and chain Gabriel and Humphries to bench,
they bring nothing but horrible defense and perpetual brick laying.

This!

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

I fine with refs letting players play, but when it's repeated hard fouls, you have to call those! Expect Bam will go hard at fat boy in the second. Go Cats!

 

[thebluestripes]

I sure hope the game plan wasnt to get gabriel the ball smh

 

[KentuckyStout]

I hope Gabriel never sees the floor again. He absolutely killed us in the first half and cost us dearly.

Keep him on the damn bench

 

[Bluest Member]

All of this is wrong

I have better things to do than get in a pissing match with you,learn the difference between criticism and outright nasty bashing.
We get it,you hate Calipari and Love Rick Pitino,but Pitino went home and Kentucky will move on even with this terrible team you can't stand.

 

[exiledfan]

Up 2 and WSU is gasping for air. Not sure I agree with the no call time out thing he did but if WSU runs out of energy with 5-10 to go he will be a genius.

And all we heard from them the last two days is how they would wear us out.

 

[ala_kat2]

What in the actual hell is our offense in this tournament so far?

Evidently to let Fox dribble into trouble and shoot air balls.

 

[Atrain7732]

Not a foul at all at the end on Fox. He just pulled the string.

And please the guys insinuating there is some ref conspiracy to have U.K. Lose please just stop.

Refs have been fine. They are consistent. Which is all you can ask for. They are lettin them play on both ends. As long as they stay this way second half that's all you can ask. Consistency.

Our guys need to suck it up and adjust. This is where playing in the pansy *** SEC with their BS touch fouls may hurt us. Not sure these guys can adjust. We will see. If not they prolly don't deserve to be in Sweet 16.

 

[blubo]

Gabriel 0-5

Unacceptable

I think the reason he can't score is because he's in the game.

 

[fs-ripcord65]

Announcer asks Calipari about offense. He first says, obviously facetiously, "I'd like for Monk to hit a few bombs." Then he retreats to form and says, "We need to pound it inside to Bam", and "if it's a slow game, we're fine with that. ???

Go figure ???

 

[bthaunert]

It was a good shot shot poorly. he wasnt fouled though. He has been fouled like 5 times not called but that wasn't one of them.

Agree he wasn't fouled. I have no ideas what others are watching. Fans complain when refs call too many fouls and now they complain when they let them play. He should have kicked it out.

 

[Lost In FL]

To have bad officiating, you have to have officiating. It's so funny though ... we go from $EC refs that control the game (too much) to these refs that can't find their whistle.

Last night, the last point I saw, Arizona had 4 called fouls in the 2nd half. I'm all for letting them play, but it's basketball, not basketbrawl.

 

[KYExtemper]

Get Mulder in there to hit some freakin' threes and spread out WSU. Glad Hawkins got some buckets early on when no one else could hit anything.

 

[KYCAT78]

Fox should have passed out to Monk on that last play.

 

[mash_24]

Marshall has Cal right where he wants him. Can't say I'm surprised. Cal loves the slog fest. I'll say it and I'm ready to take the heat. Our coach is the best recruiter in the game, gets his kids to play hard, and is a great ambassador for the program. I'd rather have A whole bunch of other guys actually coaching the games though. This Wichita team is unbelievably mediocre and we in trouble.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Foul trouble shouldn't be an issue. One positive.

 

[CondorCat]

Refs letting them play..need to get 5% tougher

Yes... Only 3 fouls called on them; only 4 called on us the entire half.
Slugfest. Gotta get tougher...

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

I hope Gabriel never sees the floor again. He absolutely killed us in the first half and cost us dearly.

Keep him on the damn bench

Worth repeating.

 

[fisherscat]

Why are we fine with a slow game?

 

[OldRed]

Gabriel 0-5

Unacceptable

They are certainly are getting the right players on our team taking the shots. Gabriel should just refuse to take them now.

 

[BassProCat]

Great break down from Kenny smith. Dumb ****

 

[UKWildcats#8]

I'd rather have A whole bunch of other guys actually coaching on the sidelines though. This Wichita team is unbelievably mediocre and we in trouble.

Give me a break. Cal kills it in the NCAA.

He said low scoring we're fine with.

 

[Lost In FL]

We gotta make that big guy run a lot imo. If we can make a run, then the game will speed up to our pace, quickly. Jmo

 

[RocknRollCats]

Said all year, the quick SEC whistle would not prepare SEC teams for the NCAA tournament. Kentucky will adapt...but should not have to. SEC needs to fix this next season.

 

[The_Catfather]

Keep calling for UK to lose. That's the spirit![eyeroll]

Sorry I'm not a Billy Joe Wildcat.

CAYTS BY 80 BIG UNS!!!

I think we win this game but I can't see us beating a UCLA or UNC at this point. Sorry.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Hahahahaha. Refs call it fairly. That's a good one

 

[BBUK_anon]

One foul on Bam...Hmmm...

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Lost 3 of last 4 and 4 of last 6 with Ayers. Shocker.

Kellogg predicts WSU wins, another shocker.

 

[Lost In FL]

Michigan only had 5 2nd half fouls. Wow.

 

[MychalG]

20 mins of BB and Bam gets one shot..One freakin shot..someone explain to me?? Fox, when he drives has yet to look to pass the ball. He is hellbent on getting to the rim at all cost..Brisoe has a couple to boards, nothing else..we have one half to get this together or we will get bounced..

 

[bookerfan66]

Really hope Monk and Willis start hitting in the second half.

 

[Cats192]

538 has us as a 71% chance of winning right now
