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

[gracetoyou]

Lonzo is a gifted passer...geez!

He's a *****!!!!

 

[zannmann]

Every time I see Tracy Wolfson I think of Austin Powers. Mole, mole mole moooooole.

 

[Xception]

Some fans are so stupid

 

[bigc45157]

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

Agree.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Florida getting jobbed by the refs

 

[caneintally]

give it up for Hump ! he is playing well.

 

[BassProCat]

Forgot about hump hitting them O boards too!! Keep it up big fella. Let's see thAt sweet jumper or hook in the 2nd Hump.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

We need Bam and Hump to assert themselves. Both are pointless so far.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

What are they talking about? We are slowing it down. Hardly a track meet.

 

[ukwildcat2004]

I'm not saying we didn't commit fouls but the whistle isn't consistent on each end. However you wanna call it that's fine but keep it the same on both ends.

 

[Bkocats]

does it make anyone feel better to know that Ball only had 6 pt that half?
also, I thought they were killing us on rebounds - they only have 3 more

 

[mash_24]

Solid half. If we get the chance need to put our foot on their throat. Bam has to come to life. He will. Good half from Cal.

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

I feel fortunate to be up by 3.

 

[Bkocats]

1st half stats Bev? Thanks!

not up yet, but will post as soon as they are

Not really, means he'll probably shoot better second half.

 

[zannmann]

Bam has struggled all season when he goes against someone taller and just as big as him. Walsh has 2 inches on him and weighs about the same.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

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

And nothing from Gabriel.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

These guys are awful. Bam is playing scared, Fox is dominating, and we are winning, but yes, by all means let's force it into Bam. Weak sauce Charles.

 

[wccat]

Bam and Willis want to part of shooting the ball.

 

[clew84]

And nothing from Gabriel.

This is expected. He is there right now to give others a breather. I wish he were more than that and I think he can be. Just not this year.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

This is it. 70 point game favors UK. 85-90 point game favors UCLA. Cats need to keep that Welsh in foul trouble too. If they can keep him off the floor that would be great. Leaf feeds off of him.

 

[ck-2]

Glad to finally see Humphries and Bam play together.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Definitely NOT a track meet lol

Possessions last game vs UCLA 83.

At the half here...........32 lol

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

Fox with 15 pts! But Hawk with 3 fouls

 

[HenryMuto]

They keep saying we have to get Bam involved but he was involved. Every time they throw it into him he has either passed it right back out or he travels. One possession I think they threw it to him like 4 different times he threw it back out 4 times.

 

[KentuckyStout]

This is a final four game, just like all our sweet sixteen games are.

 

[wccat]

Glad to finally see Humphries and Bam play together.

IH can't be any worse than the combo of Willis and Gabriel.

 

[ukfan041]

Gonna need Willis to be more assertive in the 2nd half!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Points per possession this game UK 1.06 UCLA 1.04

Last game UK 1.11 UCLA 1.17

 

[blubo]

I hope monk can score a bunch in the second half. or any other cat.

 

[bluelifer]

Get ready for a steady dose of Leaf in the 2nd half. He'll have a chance to go for 30. If we can somehow keep him in check, we'll have a great shot.

 

[Goingfor9]

Fox is playing the part of bam by getting it deep into the lane

 

[wromanp7]

Bam has struggled all season when he goes against someone taller and just as big as him. Walsh has 2 inches on him and weighs about the same.

He has the athleticism but he takes the ball wide, for some reason, and gets it swatted away.. and it's in his head. He need to tuck the ball in tight and go up strong..

No idea why the ball ends up 3' from his body when he's making his move. It's weird.

 

[John Henry]

Bam no points only one shot.

 

[PhattyJ4UK_rivals309166]

Let's go.. I'll take another half exactly like this one.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Glad to finally see Humphries and Bam play together.

If Hump contributes marginally, that'll be huge for us.

 

[jackcarlson]

I have a good feeling about this game. we did not play our best and we're ahead!

 

[HenryMuto]

This feels like 2014 all over again. 2nd round a last second win over Wichita State as they miss the final shot. Now we are setting up for another game coming down to the wire like we did vs Louisville in 2014. Who will be our Aaron Harrison ?

 

[Farsight]

Blast me all you want but Bam isn't ready for the NBA. He may have the body but he plays too timid against competition that is his equal or size. He needs to get going and get rebounds and put back dunks for the second half!

 

[ubtrapper_rivals103836]

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

He has no fouls! Not gonna get 5 in the 2nd half. Lol
