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

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Kansas was moving on damn near every screen and over the back half of the time on missed shots. That **** isn't being called. Not once.

I'm sure they carried once or twice too

 

[KyFaninNC]

You gotta believe the Officiating family is going to take it out on UK this year, after the Higgins debacle.

Example - Kansas guy slide 2-3 feet with the ball, and no walking call.

What the hell can you expect after a bunch of idiots went stupid last year trying to affect his business and threatening phone calls. Got nobody to blame but the idiots that did that.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Too much cash bet on Kansas Ky by 5

 

[JwUKFan11]

Mark it down. Green will be riding the pine this season if his defense does not significantly improve. SGA and Diallo both are/can be elite defenders

I think Green runs the sets better for the most part though. I like them in together

 

[oboroCATfan]

If Washington stays on floor in second half UK wins

He was pretty awful in the first half. We just need him to not turn it over every time he touches it.

 

[CatEye2010]

I’m so not upset about being down only one at the half


Missed the initial run to tie up the game. And missed a lot after. My Mom has had to take my Dad to the ER. Don’t know what’s going on just yet...they’re thinking some sort of infection. Mom was afraid he had had a stroke due to symptoms he’s exhibiting. I’d go be with her but they’re on vacation in St Louis.
If y’all don’t mind asking for prayers and/or positive vibes?

Prayers up!

 

[MbergCat]

Something is going to be made about that exchange on the half time interview I have a feeling

?

I expect professionalism. And the "threatening" phone calls turned out to be a joke. Most overblown scandal ever.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Could it get any worse tonight?
Bilas calling Duke game.
Gracie scoring 37 points
Duke winning
Dukie V calling our game
Roger Ayers reffing our game
Kansas has won big 12 blah blah blah

Rock Chalk Higgins.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Good news. Our guys finally understand how hard you have to play to be a good team.

Bad news..... they eventually will have to practice going after loose balls until they bleed. At some point this season Cal won't be patient in that aspect of the game

 

[FilsonCat]

I think there will be a Calipari on the floor tonight with the way they've called fouls on us. Not gonna have many post players left at the 5 minute mark if Ayers and co rooferee them out of the game.

 

[HalHR2500]

Gotta have a low post offensive presence to win and PJ is only viable candidate.

If Azubuike gets in foul trouble Kansas is hurting big time

 

[oboroCATfan]

I was going to ask which threatening phone calls because I don’t remember seeing a single one with a threat.

 

[jameslee32]

If we can just recall what we learned from the great high flat ball screens of Vermont, we will be okay.

Man that team ran some great high flat ball screens...best in the country...

When in doubt...remember the high flat ball screens...remember Vermont...

Is that you Jimmy??

Notice the mystery away from the ball "fouls" that go against us when the game is tight. Never replayed, never questioned...just a turnover.

Just like the NCAA, it's "selective enforcement."

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

A few thoughts:


We gotta play Tai more, because he can match the physicality down low on Azbuike and not foul.


I love when SKJ protects the paint.

agree

 

[buckkiller]

Washington has got to get smarter with ball
Rebound
Rebound
Rebound
That's my 1st half breakdown

 

[Bkocats]

What happened with the Cal interview at the half?

 

[KyCatFan1]

It shouldn't have even had to come to that. If the jackass called the game right all would have been well. Of course that doesn't ever seem to happen when he does our games.

 

[GnarlsBarkley]

?

Cal squeezed the sideline reporters arm while he was answering her question...too hard evidently. That's the kind of stuff that passes for news these days

 

[jameslee32]

SKJ on the pine.

 

[bigblue_07_rivals]

Knox!!!

 

[CatsRWild]

Mr Knox likes dunk sir.

That was funny as **** he acknowledged that.

In case you missed the memo, that whole fiasco was fake news. Higgins lied about people threatening him. The rest is fair game when you are a public figure with businesses on social media and behave the way Higgins did.

 

[bigblue_07_rivals]

It's apparent we miss Vanderbilt.

 

[Drcatfan]

Azubuike pushed off!!!

 

[jameslee32]

Dunk Richards. Lead!

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

PJ turnover machine.

 

[bigblue_07_rivals]

Diallo!!! Baby

 

[ukfan041]

Diallo is fighting

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

How was that a foul on the first shot?

 

[Bluest Member]

GO BIG BLUE !!!! GO BIG BLUE !!!!

LET'S GO CATS !!!!

 

[bigblue_07_rivals]

Diallo is pure hustler!!!

 

[truebluewildcat_rivals34254]

Is that you Jimmy??

Tis I, Jimmy, connoisseur of high flat ball screens and mid major basketball teams that will look good on the resume come march...

 

[CatsRWild]

I wish I had Diallo's second jump hops. lol

 

[al.ksr]

Azubuike pushed off!!!

So obvious.
