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

[rick64]

Something wrong when your starting PG takes 7 shots and none of the rest of the starters has more than 4.

 

[TheDude73]

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.

Nah, other way around. We have them right where we want them.

 

[ala_kat2]

We need Hawkins in the game. He had 7 points to help us avoid an embarrassing start. Play him over Briscoe.

 

[deebert]

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

Willis and Monk were both open. Would've felt better about a 5 point lead instead of 2 if they had hit

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Wenyen needs to sit. Briscoe needs to get under control. Get the ball to bam. Love what fox monk hawk and Mulder are doing.

 

[BBUK_anon]

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.

I understood you the first time.

 

[blubo]

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

should be a state law

 

[mash_24]

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

Shouldn't he? He has multiple lottery picks every year. Why leave games up to a lucky bounce or two against inferior competition?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

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

lol not sure I like that

538 also had Clinton at 70% and we know how that turned out lol

 

[RoyKent]

Cats better be careful. This is similar to their game against Dayton and then they started bombing shots in the second half. WSU can score quickly

 

[Cats_2010]

Why do other teams constantly dictate the tempo against us and we just adjust as opposed to the other way around. This team has shown they are much better when playing s full court press and we have brought zero pressure this far. If that continues in the 2nd half we go home!!!!!

 

[bookerfan66]

I love Monk but he needs to start working to get good looks.Murray was great at it last season.

 

[gracetoyou]

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

Kellogg predicts WSU wins, another shocker.

He's said if the game stays as is...he said Wichita could steal it in the end if it stats like this.

 

[fisherscat]

This is a mediocre WSU team.

 

[caneintally]

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

Yep . You gotta expect our offense to pick it up a little and even if we do just a little we win by 5-6 . Spread was 3.5 and I thought we'd win by 6 and will stick with that. Alot of these comments are hilarious but half of the fun of this board is reading the moronic comments after we win. The vandy thread few a weeks ago was a classic .

Easier to slow teams down than to speed them up.

Especially if we aren't forcing turnovers on defense.

 

[HenryMuto]

Well guys 20 minutes left in our season if we don't shore up the defensive rebounding or are able to hit some shots. 33%.

 

[Stonewall12]

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.

Cal and his in game coaching this first half hacks been terrible. If you don't agree then you are a blind homer

 

[ala_kat2]

Something wrong when your starting PG takes 7 shots and none of the rest of the starters has more than 4.

Fox is a volume shooter. Most of the shots were very contested too. To his defense, out 3-pt shooters are missing Maybe Cal telling him to drive it!

 

[NavyKat]

Called for fouls = *****. No fouls called = *****. No one on here will ever be happy with refs. Today is a tough, rock-em-sock-em game. Be tough. Better than foul fests in SEC

 

[mhroe1984]

Kenny Smith got a hard on talking about Wichita State's point guard and how he's "unflappable."

 

[gracetoyou]

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

You mean...you hope they start getting shots. They haven't shot 5 to.establish between them

 

[Wall2Boogie]

If you would of told me we would of played that poorly and still be up teo I'd take it

 

[Bluest Member]

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!

What I'm afraid of is these Refs will start calling BS fouls 2nd half. Bam got mugged and our guards got mugged several times too with No Call,although Cats got away with some contact too,

 

[caneintally]

This is a mediocre WSU team.

No . Top 10 ? No either. This is a top 25ish team . But what does that matter now ? Michigan wasn't a top 40 team at all til a week ago and now I think they go to the final 4. Just win . Doesn't matter how you play , just win.

 

[Cats_2010]

Easier to slow teams down than to speed them up.

Your not forcing turnovers on defense by retreating to a half court set.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Well guys 20 minutes left in our season if we don't shore up the defensive rebounding or are able to hit some shots. 33%.

They've only rebounded 25% of their misses.

That's not bad at all.

 

[Bkocats]

Watching game from phone. Only got to see the last few minutes. Nerves are shot right now
Can't enjoy anyone else's loss unless we win

 

[caneintally]

If you would of told me we would of played that poorly and still be up teo I'd take it

Hell yes especially considering how gassed WSU is.

 

[morgousky]

No one should complain about the refs. This is a good flow game and it's perfect. Cal isn't gonna get calls in the lane during tournament time. He should know this by now.

 

[carolinacat]

Yeah, we've been living on cheap "and ones" from our guards driving during SEC play. Ain't happening this game. We're going to have to find some offense somewhere else. Need more shooters in the game...more Muldur please!

 

[BBUK_anon]

Look for the Cat press this half...at certain points. WS D won't comprehend until it's too late...

 

[bleedingblue2767]

All WS points besides the 3 three pointers are all inside the paint. We are getting nothing inside the paint only 3 made shots. I said this on Friday after watching them play we will not be able to get the ball inside. Take Gabriel and Humphreys completely out of game they are so effin slow and can't shoot. So when both of them are on floor together we only have 3 shooters. Need to see Hawkins more he can shoot the outside shot. Play small second half. Keep 5 shooters on floor.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

We need Hawkins in the game. He had 7 points to help us avoid an embarrassing start. Play him over Briscoe.

We're a better team with him on the court.

Yep very annoyed how this board paid more attention to the UL game then ours. But it is what it is.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

In the SEC everyone complained because they called a foul on everything.
Now everyone is complaining because they aren't calling fouls at all
lol

 

[jackcarlson]

there is some very good news, which may not have been noticed: Bam has only ONE foul. This means that he can open up and really play in the 2nd half.

 

[caneintally]

They've only rebounded 25% of their misses.

That's not bad at all.

Yeah that hasn't been an issue. We just need to run better offense , some of that was due to the bench playing too long and some of that was due to WG just being horrible at this moment ( though I love the kid and his talent is obvious) but none the less we need to run more sets for bam and Monk. We do that we win.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Hate to say it. But we need Briscoe to start to drive, absord some contact and create some fouls.

 

[ToniTonyToneDelkDelkDelk]

No more Gabriel or Humph please.

If we need bigs to come in, try a guard or anyone who is not Gabriel or Humph.
