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

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Guard play is atrocious

 

[JwUKFan11]

Somebody tell Tyler he's not on his high school team anymore.

 

[kyjeff1]

Our 5th year senior just chicken winged a guy.
We can't do anything right.
We look awful at everything. Barrett is going to chew us up in the 2nd half.

 

[STL_Cat]

Herro isn’t ready for this.

 

[Runt#1969]

hehehe

RR is brilliant gold tonight! get the popcorn! lol

 

[HenryMuto]

No Kentucky team is ever touching the talent the 2012 and 2015 teams had.

 

[truebluewildcat_rivals34254]

Some of you guys are really sad. Duke may be playing their best game of the year. They are notorious for not improving. We may be 30+ pts better by March.

Yeah, I hear that every year...we'll be better in March...then we get beat by teams like IU and Kansas State...

 

[Soupbean]

Quade still has the same nervous panic pass yips he had the first two years. Hate to say it but if they aren't gone by now they probably aren't going to

 

[hotelblue]

they’re going for 60. even if we play lights out they’re scoring 90. better get on our track shoes.

 

[Wildcats1st]

The hype has got to herros head hes killed us him and Johnson

 

[MojoYamamoto]

We have no rim protection

 

[flcatfan07]

ZERO DEFENSE!

 

[Jakarii]

Herro keeps taking bad shots which lead to fast breaks and on D Cam Reddish says “BBQ chicken” when Herro is guarding him

 

[KentuckyStout]

We are getting humiliated.

 

[Wildcatclone24]

So much for recruiting shooters... 3 point line is the difference.

 

[Runt#1969]

If you're a long time faithful you don't tolerate scrub basketball...

Maybe there's a miraculous comeback in the second half...right now it's lackluster and unbecoming of UK basketball...no fan should tolerate this...

I didn't say tolerate it.

I said have a LITTLE FAITH

there is a difference.

none is being shown by any of you here, as per frikken usual. as usual, the point is totally lost

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

I've seen enough of Rex Jr.

[roll]

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

One stat that outlines the difference in the game...

3pt shooting
Duke - 6/11
UK - 1/9

difference of 15 points.


The other difference.... RJ Barrett is unstoppable

 

[bbnkat02]

Embarrassing. So much for our so called gym rats. Ugh. Trying not to go dark but we are being OUTCLASSED.

 

[ala_kat2]

We are not a good defensive team. No, we are not even an average defensive team. We pretty much suck on both sides right now. Guess we've been playing against each other too much.

 

[jmmcgr02_rivals363287]

Wow. Lol. Kick us while we’re down. Travis goes around a guy- offensive foul.

cmon, that was a obvious hook.

 

[Lovebaskelball]

Herro is going to have trouble guarding in the SEC.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Dont worry we will right the ship. We are college basketball. We move the damn needle.

 

[Lost In FL]

We have no rim protection

Or perimeter pressure.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Nick gives us NOTHING!!! Watches crappy Bolden get the ball and DUNK on him!!:weary::weary::weary::weary:

 

[UKWildcatT]

Everyone did watch the exhibitions, right? If so, you can’t be surprised

 

[Xception]

Team bus before game

 

[kyjeff1]

Guess you didn't see my post about awful defense losing games? Your **** gets old, man. Give Duke props. The best team and refs money can buy.

Keep crying you *****.
Look at the product we have on the floor. Duke is dragging their nuts across our faces right now and you want to blame the refs?
You don't get it, you don't know what you're looking at. Sit down and let the grownups talk.
Moron.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Don’t blame refs man. Man up. It’s easy to go there especially with Shows out there. We’re getting beat down right now. We can’t shoot from the outside and you know it.

Nobody is blaming the officials. UK is losing because of bad defense and bad shooting. That doesn't ever make giving teams 3 points for a foul that was committed on the floor(this aint the NBA). That doesn't excuse calling PJ for a foul he didn't commit. Stuff like that ruins momentum. Kills runs. Can take your best players out of the game.

 

[ukfan041]

41 is killing us on the boards

 

[Lovebaskelball]

Jack White has 7 rebounds.

 

[the dopester]

Reid called for the hook.

...and it wasn't even close to one.

 

[ok-cats-computer]

Brutal first half. Glad that we've got a long way to go until March.

 

[bbnkat02]

cmon, that was a obvious hook.

I’d agree if Duke hadn’t gotten away worse.

 

[Cindog28]

The hype has got to Herro's head he's killed us him and Richards

FIFY

 

[RoyKent]

I thought Duke couldn’t shoot and UK could???

 

[zannmann]

Embarrassing.

 

[fabcat]

Right now they are so much better than us. They are just toying with us.

 

[nkuCATfan]

Talent over experience all day long. We need a top 5 player (or 2) in a bad way.

 

[FilsonCat]

One of the worst defensive efforts from a Cal team I can recall seeing. Duke getting to the lane whenever they want.
