With the way this is going, we might need some fans from the stands to finish the game (assuming they have some eligibility)

Better tell Brad to warm up.

Will Richards see the court in 2nd half?

Might be forced to with foul trouble likely.

What's the over/under on players fouled out? I'll start it with 4 total between the two teams.

Will Richards see the court in 2nd half?

With the foul situation, he may have to, since I doubt Brad can play center.

 

[Woodrow24]

Played a horrible first half, but I look for cal to make good adjustments and the team to play a lot better the second half.

 

[Anon1658882690]

We'll win by a dozen..

 

[jackcarlson]

we are still going to win, but this game is really ugly!!!

 

[ala_kat2]

Our D on the three point line has been HORRID

Well, if the boys edge up on the 3-attempts, the K-State player drives the lane and we pick up another foul. It's a dilemma. Gotta hope K-State doesn't hit a high percentage of 3's the second half.

 

[RACdad]

My guess is the refs let a football game breakout in the 2nd half

 

[Crawfords Corner]

K-State gets 2 free points on a bad call against Wenyen. Hamidou gets hurt and K-State gets 2 free points. That's 4 points.

 

[Davidmackv]

We need to pound it inside with our size advantage and stop shooting the midrange jumpers.

 

[KingOfBBN]

This is a game that Vanderbilt was needed.

 

[catfando]

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.

Good analysis!

Agree...........

 

[IHATEUAVEL]

Even though refs are hammering us we have a deep bench I believe K State has 3 players with 3 fouls with Larry Moe and Curly blowing the whistle Bruce Weber may need to suit up

 

[KYExtemper]

My guess is the refs let a football game breakout in the 2nd half

In which case, get ready for some technical fouls to start flying.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Unfortunately the refs will feel the need to even the number of foul calls in the second half.

 

[RoyKent]

SMH....

 

[Aike]

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.

We’ve been a hair quick on several shots or they’ve been challenged. Slightly out of rhythm.

 

[CatsRWild]

They make 6+ threes this half and it’ll be a close finish.

Guard the 3 better. attack the lane and well grind out a W

 

[KYExtemper]

Well, IF we happen to lose I already know what the first post-game thread will be "This loss is on Cal!"

 

[lexielynne16]

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

Unless we come out firing in the 2nd half, we're going home.

 

[Ben101er]

With SKJ and Richards having no fouls, Cal may have to go big, play the zone, and pound it inside.

 

[BourbonBalz]

This is a game that Vanderbilt was needed.

Sure as hell wouldn’t hurt. Richards a complete no show again. He had an easy dunk on our very first possession and got stripped.

 

[BassProCat]

Clark with the jab to Kenny with the unc comment lol

 

[catfando]

If you watch PJ is getting fouled big time when he tries to post up, yet the refs aren’t seeing it. Guys are forcing things. Just need to take a deep breath and do our thing, then the shots will fall.

 

[FiveStarCat]

SMH....

Welcome to the NCAA Tournament, where nothing makes sense

 

[rick64]

Knox, SGA and Gabriel 3-16 FGA.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Deep? Wynyard is gone, JV is out hurt, and Nick is giving us nothing. How is that deep?

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

The way this game is being called Shai or PJ should drive the lane on every possession.

 

[OldRed]

Need to get that 4th foul on Sneed early in the 2nd half. Brown hasn't been as good as Sneed. He'll probably go off in the 2nd half. They have very, very serious foul trouble and can't play Wade many minutes. We just need to be calm and play it inside and hit the boards like we started doing at the end of the half.

 

[zac_limanni]

Im guessing the refs swallow their whistles to star the second half… idk if that's good or bad for us tho

 

[jameslee32]

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.

Just have to ignore the noise and not drink the poison or the kool-aid.

 

[UKDC80]

Drive, kick, drive, kick. UK Keeps helping down , UK loses.

 

[Davidmackv]

I still don’t understand why Richards starts.

 

[wccat]

Hopefully Knox can keep from committing another offensive foul when KSU bodies up against him. He seems to be making a habit of pushing off when guarded close.

 

[420grover]

This is a game that Vanderbilt was needed.

He can't shoot either.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Who gets the ball to start 2nd half?

 

[MWes11]

This game is ours. LFG!!!

 

[Seth_C]

The way this game is being called Shai or PJ should drive the lane on every possession.

So that the refs can ignore it when KState slaps down at their arms for "steals"?

 

[new era cat]

Well, IF we happen to lose I already know what the first post-game thread will be "This loss is on Cal!"

Of course not. It can't be him....

 

[Crawfords Corner]

I wish during Halftime that the networks would have a little running clock in the bottom corner alerting you to how much time before the 2nd half starts.
