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

[Runt#1969]

Screw Arkansas. Good riddance. 15 point comeback win. Refs suck. the end. I sure hope we get RT back for the UT game..... and it doesn't look like we're going to have him. They are going to all have to play a lot better to beat Tennessee in Knoxville. So it comes down to this......

 

[ukfan041]

Whew...too much stress for a Tuesday night

 

[Soupbean]

Tyler "I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it" Dam straight son!

He said I'm money

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I notice everyone that gave up on this team at the half disappeared. Good.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Rutledge can't get enough of Tyler.

 

[al.ksr]

I mean, at some point you have to stop with the Little Debbie's.

 

[wildcat1515]

Wooooooo!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

The amount of hurdles Kentucky had to endure.. No RT, trap game, hurt Herro, horrible 1st half, horrible officiating, Joe going off, Arkansas going off.

 

[Ugoff]

It's funny how the camera people and the sideline gal caught the exchange at the free throw line between Herro and the Ark player but Ravich and Dykes didn't mention it or seem to have a clue.

 

[kyjeff1]

Cal might want to install an inbounds play or two.

Hasn't done it in his 10 years here, I doubt he's going to do it now.

Maybe if we had an older team he would, but he has to keep some things basic with these young teams

 

[mash_24]

Shout out to Nick tonight. E,J. was a no show and PJ had his worst game in a long time. This team has to play really hard to be good. Just not enough talent there to cruise. They forget that too often. A win is a win.

They were busy thinking of ways to pull Arkansas to the finish line

Rutledge can't get enough of Tyler.

I noticed that as well.

 

[justanotherguy505]

We deserved to lose and Arkansas got hosed on that last call. All this BS is non-existent if we played 40 minutes of Kentucky basketball. Happy we won, but this needs to be the last egg we lay, or our season will end sooner than we want.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Blowby Anderson on the handshake. Need a .gif

You knew he was going to do Cal like that. [laughing]

 

[KyCatFan1]

That was about the most pitiful performance of the year for about 30 minutes. Thank God we stepped it up for about 10 minutes. We sucked the first half and tried every way imaginable to lose in the last minute. Just glad to get out of there with a win. Better play 100% better against UT Saturday. Sure wish we had Travis for that one.

 

[EliteBlue]

Hagans SHUT DOWN Joe in the 2nd half. Kid never got a decent look after being unconscious most of the game.

He stopped freelancing and gambling every 5 seconds and just got on the kids hip and played straight up.

First half he was constantly freelancing and then the entire D would break down trying to rotate and recover.

 

[ArtSmass]

I noticed that as well.

Bet she licks his car door handle later.

 

[EastKYWildcat]

He has 15 boards tonight. Dumbass.

That is impressive for a one handed rebounder

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Bet she licks his car door handle later.

33 pages of game thread, and this is the best post.

Well done.

 

[bigbluefattycat]

Looks to me that Tyler said "I am money"

 

[HenryMuto]

Down 15 in the 2nd and Herro and Johnson showed amazing heart to will us to a win tonight.

I don't believe in needing these kind of games but we got it and it will make us better down the road.

 

[65pacecar]

Tough win but a good experience for a tight tournament game situation

 

[slam212121]

Hagans SHUT DOWN Joe in the 2nd half. Kid never got a decent look after being unconscious most of the game.

Now if Hagans would just stop shutting down Herro we can start to really roll.

 

[al.ksr]

Looks to me that Tyler said "I am money"

FAKE NEWS! He said "I'm money." He clearly used the contraction of "I am." Sad.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

PJ’s ft’s will cost us in March

I don't get it he started this year so improved at the line. All the guys were making FTs at will. Now PJ almost never makes 2 straight and the only one is totally trust is Herro. I mean how does KJ miss both FTs late, but he did come back later and make 2. Just not sure where our FT shooting has gone to. They all can do it and show it at the end usually which to me means it is just laziness and not focusing until they have to.

 

[hotelblue]

kj was trying almost too hard to draw contact. he showed great determination and hit some much needed shots but he had the ball in the paint with the defense back stepping and he’d still lean into them. he could have had 6 or more uncontested 8 footers if he just relaxed a little after the initial drive.

the win feels a little weird. kind of like lsu only we get the w. we’ll take it. 3 games left.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

HTF can you sleep?

LoL. Our turn around started right after I posted that.... I’m gonna credit myself for the win for my unnatural sleepiness

 

[Cardsstink]

“Down 11 so we are fine” haha, what a dumb statement.

“Could easily win by 15”. So we will have a 26 point turnaround in the second half?

Man, you continue to spout off with the dumbest, most annoying crap on here.

What are your thoughts about the 2nd half? Anything positive that you saw? You weren't here to enjoy the 2nd half with us?

 

[JC CATS]

Shout out to Nick tonight. E,J. was a no show and PJ had his worst game in a long time. This team has to play really hard to be good. Just not enough talent there to cruise. They forget that too often. A win is a win.

Hopefully this was a good reminder

 

[Cardsstink]

Followed by a likely loss Saturday and we go from a potential one seed to a 3 real quick.

So you had us losing to Arkansas at halftime.....and you completely vanished during the second half and you have today as a "likely" loss. Good to see you are having so much fun following the Cats. [laughing]
