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

[Crawfords Corner]

We got away with a walk.

So did they and they got 3 foul shots

 

[Jamal Mercer]

He tried to hammer PJ and got the hammer instead

 

[bbnkat02]

Awful call

Should’ve been a turnover anyway. Wenyen took three steps.

 

[mkasten25]

He was set. Shimmied but was still set when contact hit

 

[Cbbcrazy2]

Terrible call

 

[TIE543]

Should’ve been a turnover anyway. Wenyen took three steps.

Sure, but it still wasn’t a charge lol

Another missed travel on South Carolina

 

[Comebakatz3]

Interesting to see PJ at the top of the zone.

 

[Cindog28]

PJ lived in Louisville for 3 months of his life. I was born in Lexington, but I never lived there.

 

[zannmann]

I really dislike this Booker kid.

 

[Soupbean]

This zone is not active at all. It needs to be extended outside the line and matchup hard on every catch and get in the passing lanes on the release. That's how we played when we first started using it and we turned people over.

 

[rautry2]

So it looks like Vanderbilt is a less awkward Wenyen. Give him a couple months and he’ll be good.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

PUSH in the back on SOUTH CAROLINA on the rebound

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Am i the only one that thinks Vanderbilt is the fastest basketball player of all time? He’s lightning quick.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

This team is doing what the 2014 team couldn't. They are not folding when logic tells you they would. And they are winning road games. Think we have a very good chance of pulling this one out.

 

[zannmann]

If everyone had been hustling down court instead of standing around watching, Knox would have had someone to save it to.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

THAT Travel call Might be the best call all night.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

SC playing like they play now.

 

[Calsthebomb]

JV just looks the part of a stud. Give him a few games. He's super quick for his size.

 

[rick64]

SC now shooting 39%.

 

[bbnkat02]

Are we surprised we’re not getting calls on the raid in the SEC? I mean come on.

 

[Lukasz0brzut]

So it looks like Vanderbilt is a less awkward Wenyen. Give him a couple months and he’ll be good.

Fair question: have you played basketball at any level?

 

[richbrookstomato]

I LOVE JV's energy!! He is FAST!! Having him on the floor gives us more opportunities to run!!!

 

[fabcat]

Settle down and play basketball now. Zone is hurting them we're so long and they don't shoot it well. Now need to get going offensively

 

[jameslee32]

Why can't we ever get a charge call like the one on Gabriel?

 

[Calsthebomb]

SC playing like they play now.

Yeah they creamed their pants the first few minutes.

 

[Comebakatz3]

PUSH in the back on SOUTH CAROLINA on the rebound

Helped get that loose ball. But the walk got it back for us. Still, should have been two shots for UK.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

@Wall2Boogie / glad to have you back.

Thanks I of course said something stupid again

 

[kybassfan]

Am i the only one that thinks Vanderbilt is the fastest basketball player of all time? He’s lightning quick.

No way

- says J. Wall

 

[catfando]

We’ve started playing defense. Funny how we only play defense in the zone. Vanderbilt could be what we need to push us over the top to a title contender.

 

[mhroe1984]

How did Richards not get that rebound before PJs stupid foul?

I was screaming the same thing. He literally stood there as the ball bounced right by him.

 

[CELTICAT]

JV figuring out how to do his thing without freaking out means this team hits another level.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Man this contest is UGLY .

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Seriously? He’s out playing his first college game AND in hostile territory. I call that GUTS

You’re quitting on him already? Smh

Congrats worst post on the game thread so far.

The Official Baker Watch just started. [laughing]

Lmao. I see the sarcastic joke meter is broken with a few of you

 

[mkasten25]

Why can't we ever get a charge call like the one on Gabriel?

Did you see the end of the LSU game?

 

[richbrookstomato]

PUSH in the back on SOUTH CAROLINA on the rebound

SEC Refs are only allowed to call that on our Bigs.

 

[KyCatFan1]

I was surprised that Gabriel charge wasn't called a walk to begin with. Been called a walk all year. How about some consistancy?

 

[MojoYamamoto]

Why can't we ever get a charge call like the one on Gabriel?

From what I can tell, it must be in the rule book that if UK is on defense it’s automatically a block and if we are on offense it’s automatically a charge.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Vanderbilt is all arms and legs. He's like a taller SGA. He's got a nice explosive first step

 

[KYExtemper]

I think we're doing fine. We got their big punch early, held in there, and have grinded back to even.
