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

[TheDude73]

Love Cal talking to the ref there when he knows he can't be teed up. Prep then for the second half.

 

[KYExtemper]

Haha at that silly shot by Ball.

 

[Xception]

Hawkins is our best defender but he also makes the worst fouls in no mans land

 

[ala_kat2]

Good half from Fox!!!

 

[LowCountryCat]

We should be up 8. Refs are giving them free trips to the foul line.

 

[blubo]

We played really smart first half. hope we can survive the refs.

 

[ck-2]

Ball has the ugliest shot. How does that crap go in?

It's because he's half white.

 

[Bluest Member]

Thank you Fox

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Fox came to play.

We get the ball first, right?

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

8 on 1 in the first half and we're still up 3.

 

[HenryMuto]

Good end to the half I will gladly take a 3 point lead into the half. This game has been everything as avertised. Neither team has got out to more than a 5 point lead I don't believe. This is a Final Four game and if we win it we get another Final Four game...to get to the Final Four.

 

[oldsports_]

Watch the replay. He smashed his hand. Very dumb play.

Some of our fans are just pathetic

 

[al.ksr]

Now if UK can get UCLA's calls in the second half, they will run away with it.

 

[Xception]

A track meet ? Was that a scripted comment by her lol

 

[BassProCat]

Up 3? Ok yeah I'll take that. If we rebounded better it should be a lil more but I'm satisfied. Not happy but satisfied.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Hope they don't explode in the second half like they did against cincy.

 

[TheDude73]

Watch the replay. He smashed his hand. Very dumb play.

Bam had his hand smashed early in the first half on a no-call layup. Replay showed it.

 

[GnarlsBarkley]

Cal pullin' a coach k and having a talk with the ref

 

[UKCatWoman]

I'll take it...36-33 at the half!

 

[KYExtemper]

Whew. Second half should be a gem. This is a Final Four-type game

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Half black Ball not doing much so far.

[roll]took me a second to catch that one.

 

[UKGrad93]

Good half for the Cats all things considered. Need more from Bam. Hopefully Willis can play well he second half. This pace favors us. Just need the calls on our end.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Up 3 after Willis didn't play the last 12 minutes, I'll take it.

 

[jameslee32]

I'll take it all day and twice on Sunday.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Fox dominating Ball early. How you liking that Lavar? Please win so he will come out blaming everyone from the coach to the other players and not his son.

 

[BBUK_anon]

UCLA was tired... Also just a hint of bewilderment...they know they had things pulling their way from a lot of directions.

 

[d2atTech]

we need to get leaf fouled out. he leaves the game, we win.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

I honestly don't know how we are winning.
It seems like UCLA can score whenever they want, like they're toying with us.

Because we're playing tight man and close guarding the 3 point line.....BUT, it gives up all those easy dunks in the middle we've seen. Pick your poison; myself I think Cal's onto a good gameplan.

I'd rather give up a 2 point dunk than have them raining 3's on us, like they certainly can.

 

[mrdavisanddd]

Monk & Bam have to get going in the 2nd half

 

[oldsports_]

Bam 0 points 1 rebound 2 turnovers That is 1st round NBA worthy folks

 

[Bellcat70]

1st half stats Bev? Thanks!

 

[ZakkW]

Good end to the half I will gladly take a 3 point lead into the half. This game has been everything as avertised. Neither team has got out to more than a 5 point lead I don't believe. This is a Final Four game and if we win it we get another Final Four game...to get to the Final Four.

Yeah, total horseshit that this is a region semifinal

 

[KentuckyStout]

Fox was amazing. Briscoe having a great game.

Great minutes from Hump!

We have a Monk sighting!

We up three.

 

[Madcat62_rivals113839]

Good half from Fox!!!

great half for fox

 

[caneintally]

No Bam and No Willis and we are still up 3. Love it . Get Willis going from downtown and get bam a few touches .

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Weird stat. 6 of our 10 fouls are on bench guys. 3 of their 6 are.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

we need to get leaf fouled out. he leaves the game, we win.

This is the key to the game.

 

[FilsonCat]

we need to get leaf fouled out. he leaves the game, we win.

Leaf has one foul right? No way he gets 4 more.

 

[truebluewildcat_rivals34254]

Cal better draw something up for Leaf. Alson, Bam needs to start throwing some damn weight around.

 

[UKNothinButNet]

We were getting abused at the 4 spot so bad it felt like we were playing 4 on 5 the whole first half!
