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

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

No moral victories. Three wins for self over Cal in a row. Not good

We didn't get embarrassed but it's a loss. Not a moral victory program

 

[Wildcatclone24]

Turn overs and poor shots down the stretch cost the game. No surprise for a bunch of freshmen

 

[TheAnonymous13]

Ugly, ugly game.
But credit the guys for making it ugly with effort. Like it or not, will have to win ugly fairly often this year.

 

[MarkPftw]

Ballgame. Sloppy crap game.

 

[kyboy1998_rivals34276]

Honestly if SKJ doesn’t start the next game, something is wrong. He’s the only reason we aren’t losing by double digits. Right now he’s the only inside player we have who will rebound.

He won't.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Whoever put major bank of Kansas just lost their shirt.

 

[WCSPlayedWRInHS]

Cats really need to recruit a high level PG for next year.

immanuel quickley, ever heard of him?

 

[KyCatFan1]

So Knox gets the ball and tries to tie it with a horse shot. This might be our worst offense since Cal has been here.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

The entire offense is predicated on making tough shots, how often do we ever get open looks?

I’ve wondered this often. Seems like we give up our share of gimmes but we never get them

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Knox should have taken the last shot behind the arc and won or lost with that.

 

[UK90]

Why the F are Richards and Washington even playing down the stretch???

Horrendous

And why do they continue to start?

I'd say put SKJ and Gabriel in those starting spots next game, let's get a little experience in our starting lineup.

Let the two frosh do the work to earn their starting spots back.

 

[Wildcats1st]

GRAham looks like a dog with his head out the window

 

[hotelblue]

game on the line and a non call. we would have had a chance to tie even if they made both. bad calls, early in the year, i think we're better than ku.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Good game.

 

[The_Catfather]

Kansas is going to lose a lot of games this year. If we had a Division I frontcourt we win this game by double-digits, even with all the stupid turnovers.

Maybe.
But I thought KU looked like garbage--- very poorly coached. Ceiling much higher for UK.

 

[RoyKent]

3 wins in a row for KU...tough to stomach.

 

[HenryMuto]

Well Kentucky did much better than I expected tonight. Had the ball tied with over a minute left had the ball down 2 with 30 seconds left. Had our chances to win this. Should be interesting season with a tougher SEC.

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

We need a point guard.

 

[TheAnonymous13]

Good game.

Horrible game.

Good effort.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Great. Now we gotta listen to theese 9-22 KU fans all night.

 

[CatsRWild]

beat the spread, take that vegas and you're crooked fat old ref.

Proud of our guys though, especially SKJ and Tai coming in and fighting.

 

[kyjeff1]

Hopefully Cal starts working on offense soon. Our defense is so bad that I have to believe that's all they've been working on.

 

[KYExtemper]

Always sucks to lose but we didn't get our doors blown off like I expected and that's a positive. Hopefully we improve but losing games like this don't do much for our seeding at the end of the year, but who really cares because the committee will screw us anyway.

 

[RoyKent]

Maybe.

Played like garbage, missing one of their best players and still beat UK...no clue how you think that can be in anyway a good sign for UK.

 

[bbnkat02]

And Kansas beats inexperienced Freshman by three and think they allllll that.. I reiterate....I hate Kansas.

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Typical kansas, guaranteed to be gone as usual the first weekend in March.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

I am not crushed. I expect a double digit loss so I feel optimistic.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Horrible game.

Good effort.

most people thought we'd lose by double digits.

We did fine. If KU could only beat us by 4 now, come March they better wish they don't meet us.

 

[bbnkat02]

Because we hung with them and if it wasn't for turnovers....we win that game.

Man you are the worst poster here go away

 

[buckkiller]

Cals been getting out coached alot last few years. To get out coached by Captain Toupee wearer 3x in a Row Sad!!

 

[Calsthebomb]

Great effort by the cats. Get JV back and we golden.

 

[FilsonCat]

In Games like this, officiating matters. CBB is about the equivalent of WWE wrestling at this point with the way officials fix games and shave points/possessions.

 

[Nkycatfan17]

I like my team!

 

[John Henry]

3 wins in a row for KU...tough to stomach.

I want them again in March

 

[deplion_rivals116063]

Hate the outcome, but this game encourages me overall.

I wasn't sure we had the horses to compete with the elite teams this year. This game shows me we do.

We have a looooooong way to go if we hope to actually beat them in March, but after tonight, I am convinced we have a legit shot.

 

[KyCatFan1]

I know we will get better, but I honestly don't think this team will get very much better. We will rely on defense and one on one shots.

 

[ToniTonyToneDelkDelkDelk]

Good game. Now we know what we have to work on. Keep turnovers down. Too many sloppy passes. And grab the ball. We gotta have better hands than that.

I also prefer to see Wenyen play more than PJ right now. Not sure what PJ brought to the game tonight.

 

[Chino1176]

We should have won this game. We are going to be very good this year. Skj it your time. Knox and hami are studs. Can't wait to see how Vanderbilt fits into this. I like our team.
