I'd rather win the game, then be down 4 points at the half.

 

[ToniTonyToneDelkDelkDelk]

These shots will start falling for us. We need to make sure we have a sense of urgency to begin the half.

We typically look confused at the beginning of the 2nd half.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Someone other than SGA and PJ is going to have to show up in the second half.

 

[RoyKent]

-15 from the 3 point line. FTs only reason this isn’t a blowout.

No idea why Cal/the team let KST make them play their style. Makes no damn sense.

 

[Ben101er]

Cats just don't have it tonight. They got farther than I thought they would in the tournament. It is a down year. Hopefully Cal can turn it around next year, but that will start and end with better recriiting.

What are you talking about? We had our worst half in 6 weeks, and only down 5, and you are conceding a loss? We will come out the 2nd half and win this by 7.

 

[JasonS.]

Gonzaga going OFF

 

[nookam]

Knox hasn’t played well consistently all season. He’s a Cat but if I have a 1st round pick and my jobs riding on it. I pass.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

Our D on the three point line has been HORRID

 

[RoyKent]

We usually have no clue what’s going on at the start of the second half. Really hope that doesn’t happen tonight.

 

[Nubb16]

Down four actually isn't bad at all and could've been 1. We can do this if we hit shots. Maybe I'm bipolar.

 

[Davidmackv]

Weber has the worst voice ever.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Been so worried about this, but bought in to some on here saying we would crush them. We came out soft, PJ has to be stronger with the ball and knock down F ing FTs. 0-2 on that trip towards the end, Cmon man! Knox is a no show, we need to come out at go at them hard to the tin. Those 3's won't keep going, we could use some, 1, F***! Cmon cats, play hard and your game, these guys aren't that good, but we are playing down to them. Lets Go Cats!!!!!

 

[richbrookstomato]

Why can't we make shots?

It amazes me how when one of our players misses they ALL miss. Have to start making open looks or this game is OVER.

 

[Notorious23]

We win this game by double digits!

 

[HenryMuto]

538 only gives 51% chance for Kentucky to win (opened game at 71%)

 

[nookam]

If you are going to rely on freshmen you damned well better get the Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett etc level players. There is a huge difference in 5*.

 

[CatsIndy2010]

Barkley says we will have a "spurt".

 

[kyjeff1]

Need to make shots in the second half. K-State is really good defensively, but we are missing shots we normally make.
We also left about 8 points at the free throw line

 

[blubo]

That was a dog crap of a first half and UK is only down 4. K-State is a bunch of hackers. +15 from 3 is the only thing keeping them in the game. They won't shoot it from 3 that good in the 2nd half.

:grimace:That’s what i said about michigan earlier.

 

[Lost In FL]

16 fouls called already. Last game had 26 for the whole game.

26 fouls last game. 26 in our first half. Wow.

 

[KingOfBBN]

No idea why this team helps on penetration. Guard the three because 15 of their 33 has come from just that.

 

[KentuckyStout]

I'm sick and freaking tired of sister Jean

 

[sam_o]

What are you talking about? We had our worst half in 6 weeks, and only down 5, and you are conceding a loss? We will come out the 2nd half and win this by 7.

Only down 4. But it’s funny how quick some guys tuck tail and say it’s over. K state will wear down, cats will win by 9.

 

[justin_uk_5]

mawien will be back this half .. we need to get him back on the bench early in the second half

 

[rick64]

 

[clew84]

what did he say?

Basically said that a low scoring game with a slow pace is how UK might lose. K St wants to make it ugly and physical and they are succeeding doing that as we have seen.

I know we are only down 4 but given the scoring it seems more like 8. I’m hoping we go back to man and press defensively to create pace.

 

[eppsfan]

I haven't been this frustrated since I tried to put together that computer hutch I bought at Walmart.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

The one saving grace is that K-state is horrible on offense......even with the 3s made.

 

[CatsIndy2010]

One thing I see is k state is passing sluggish sometimes. You could tell they were tired at the 3 minute mark.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Hope it’s a twisted ankle and not a bad sprain.

 

[IHATEUAVEL]

KNOX, please show up for the second half.

Knox will come to play in 2nd half

 

[BassProCat]

Need to make shots in the second half. K-State is really good defensively, but we are missing shots we normally make.
We also left about 8 points at the free throw line

And missed lay ups Knox and WG

 

[blubo]

I think we’ve weathered the storm—only down four.

 

[*CatinIL*]

I'm guessing the UK CATS come out strong in the second half and sends KSU back to the little Apple...

 

[RACdad]

Worst offense since Uf game. Down 4

 

[Soupbean]

Think Cal will look at Knox point total and we will come out running the post screens for him side to side to start the half to get him involved. Hope he responds and doesn't force things to get shots off. But we do need to get him going.

But with KSU foul trouble like to see us pound it inside too. Or spread and let Shai drive. But have to get more spacing for Shai to operate so they can't collapse without leaving guys open. We're too tight that half.

 

[Team America]

At least we get the ball first to start the half after that "jump ball".

 

[BourbonBalz]

They’ve actually got worse foul trouble than we do. Play good defense and rebound and the points will come. I hope. Knox and Gabriel need to get involved in the offense. It wouldn’t hurt if we also got the Hami from the last Saturday in the second half as well.

 

[bbnkat02]

Come on... let's go. Roll it out. Outside of that prayer they hit, we had the mo going into halftime.

 

[kennywalker34]

WE ARE WINNING THIS GAME PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
