***** OFFICIAL HOWARD VS UK GAME THREAD *****
- Thread starter bbnkat02
- Start date
Great tribute to Mike Pratt on the radio pregame. The crowd roaring during his finale game intro was tremendous.
He does he looked really good, I guess it’s more precautionary to sit him out at this pointOscar looks healthy
I don’t care how good he looks. We are gonna run him ragged. That dude’s going down.
Nice, Howard is a b****, but I’m being serious Kentucky is blowing this team out, they look to be pretty good or atleast decent
The road to 9 begins in 11 minutes
Pretty good or decent or suck balls. They are somewhere in that range.
I would say more decent, they won’t be pushed around and from the looks of it can match some of Kentuckys athletes, Kentucky should win but they are not winning by 27
I’ll say it. The SEC network crew outside of Young are clowns.
Game traffic is a nightmare. F*** this 6:30 starts.
I couldn’t make it tonight. Looks like a good crowd though.
Maybe, I see a grind it out 12-15 point win, which with as short handed as Kentucky is, will be fine
Prediction: Reeves gets hot, nails 3 triples in a row to break this open
Howard’s coach said without wheeler and Oscar he has the better team. Hmm. Big statement
Really surprised Reeves isn’t starting given he’s been out leading scorer most games and Bahamas MVP.
Only thing I can think is if we are looking at playing 9 or 10 deep. Maybe not full blown platoon where you only play w your 5 90% of the time….but keeping firepower on the bench to have an explosive unit come in when the starters get a breather.
Wheeler, Reeves, Collins, Thiero, Ware/Ugonna…. Protect the Rim and let Wheeler run the floor and throw lobs to Collins…Thiero as a 3 and D guy (w slashing ability)….and then let Reeves be the gunner and volume shooter he is. That’s a lineup full of high energy guys with an elite on ball volume scorer mixed in

Hopefully we can contain the couple white dudes on Howard. Gonna be tough, they look like shooters!
