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

[Bkocats]

Huh ? So we only have an 82% chance to make the NCAA tournament with a win today and 71% chance with a loss ? I was not aware we were in trouble this year of making the big dance. Are they using the same Analytics the Browns have been using ?

Paul SabinESPN Analytics
"Virginia Tech at Kentucky is the top hoops game today per ESPN's matchup quality metric. The game is more important to Kentucky as the BPI give the Wildcats a 71 percent chance to go dancing with a loss but 82 percent with a win. The Hokies project to be in 98 percent of the time with a loss and 99 percent with a win."

Um
Those numbers have to be backwards

I like the energy so far. Let’s keep it going Cats!

 

[fs-ripcord65]

SO glad to see the 'Cats jump into the full-court zone-trap press -- with predictably great results. If Calipari finally realizes how much he can benefit from running the full-court zone-trap press for the entire game, and if Calipari and/or one of the assistants figures out how to really coach the full-court zone-trap press effectively, then the 'Cats may be on their way to No. 9 - and to a really fun and exciting season on the way ! ! !

Go 'Cats ! ! !

 

[CB3UK]

Cayts!!!! Let's go boys!!!

 

[JohnnyGreen1975]

We just need to keep pounding inside. We do that, we win by 30+

 

[Black Diamond Cat]

Our FC press has the Hokies somewhat discombobulated !

 

[Crawfords Corner]

We also need to get Quade and Shai in there. Theyre good together

 

[Bkocats]

My biggest concern was their three point shooting
Ugh

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Just need Quade to be mediocre on defense

 

[Calsthebomb]

Just need Quade to be mediocre on defense

Doubt he can

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

My biggest concern was their three point shooting
Ugh

Vs our man to man.

 

[kyjeff1]

We have some of the dumbest turnovers. Ugh

 

[Bkocats]

Vs our man to man.

Yes

Our defense needs sooo much work too

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

clean up the turnovers

 

[bbnkat02]

Turnovers. If we take this into January it will be our down fall.

 

[ck-2]

No set inbounds play bites us again.

 

[Wildcatfan66]

VA Tech as good as advertised. Glad we are playing better competition. 3 tough games.

 

[BBUK_anon]

`Can you smell the fear...

 

[Dakota25]

Uhhhh this is going to be close, their offense is for real. Kind of leaning towards a loss right now

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Zone?

 

[sambowieshin_rivals]

This game is a good indicator of how we will play against SEC competition.

 

[BBUK_anon]

Uhhhh this is going to be close, their offense is for real. Kind of leaning towards a loss right now

[roll][roll] Glad you're not playing...jmusao

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

They are really make too much a deal of that "team takes the fewest 3s" thing

 

[kyjeff1]

THAT was our offense out of a timeout? Yikes

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Their zone giving us trouble.

 

[bbnkat02]

VT is beatable. But I don’t know if we have enough game experience to do it. We’ll see.

 

[RoyKent]

On pace for 22 turnovers. So frustrating.

Have to limit VT’s threes or this could get ugly.

 

[Cat in ga]

Do we lead nation in missed dunks?

Not sure but think we lead in missed threes

 

[Calsthebomb]

They're to good on offense for us.

 

[KYCAT78]

VT out hustling us right now

 

[Bkocats]

Wow

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Good call on intentional.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

2 and the ball well take that

 

[kyjeff1]

Good job by the stripes so far, letting both teams play

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Not defending the perimeter very well , even the threes they have missed have been open .

 

[Bkocats]

Gotta hit the freebies :::sigh:::

Camp Cal starts next week right?

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Gabriel!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Nice Gabriel

 

[TortElvisII]

Horrible

 

[kyjeff1]

Had an easy two if Hammi gave it up.
