Let's keep Gabriel in the game with his sweet stroke. Meanwhile the senior who made the all tournament team a week ago and has 7 points off the bench who sparked the lead. Sits on the bench while Gabriel burns the nets.

Our 20+ ppg 2G has 5 points. No new plays to get him going.

Bam is not getting the ball and is getting outplayed on defense.

Willis is cold but he has to play. Hawkins needs to play 20 minutes in the second half.

But Cal is stubborn and will scream Gooooo! For the 100th time.

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
The issue is you don't want ticky tack fouls called but our guys have been mugged 5-6 times with nothing called. That isn't acceptable.

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


What are you talked about. People supposed to not watch the game that's on and instead rehash for the 20th time our pregame talk?

The refs will unload on the foul calls in the second half (probably against us), which won't make much sense since they swallowed them in the first.

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!!!!!
We started the year run and gun and now we can't do either.

Shamet put his left arm into Fox's waist and pushed.

Which is supposed to be a foul.

Hasn't been today, but doesn't mean it's the right call.

Carry on though. I'm sure the story of the day is simply awesome foul free Wichita defense.

But Fox was called for it once.

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.
Exactly, I've been trying to explain to some on here that Bam can't go after every block and get careless, he has to stay out of foul trouble. He did that.

WS has confidence now that they can hang with UK. Need a big run to start the second half.

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.

It's not perfect when you've got a guard who attacks the rim, but can't get to the FT line.

It protects the other team and costs us points.

Bad combo.

Cal will come out and force it to Bam..i think the fat kid is better than Bam so this is not going to work..Monk has to carry this team if it's going to a F4..We will meet several teams that have better inside players than bam, but when Monk is on there none better

we need to avoid getting down by too much. Not sure UK can come back against this team the way the Cats are playing offensively.

Bam was smothered inside. That's why he only had 1-4 shots. But lot of contact that the "fair" refs let WS get away with.

It's like the refs are trying their best to call the game to our weaknesses. Kentucky's offense is built on driving and scoring or getting fouled so let's let them play physical and not call fouls. This isn't how the NCAA Tournament is usually called. They are calling it like other conferences that are used to few fouls called and not the 40+ a game in the SEC.

Why is Cal playing with the rotation?

This could be the last game of the year and he is still trying to throw Gabriel in the lineup.

Hawkins was all Tournment team a week ago not Gabriel. Ply him!!!! Not rocket science
