***** OFFICIAL HOWARD VS UK GAME THREAD *****

[Crawfords Corner]

He is nonchalant on his FT tries.

He looks like hes handling a hot potato

 

[TortElvisII]

I mean his dad just died, you can’t rush him back from something like that, he deserves as much time as he needs

I must have misheard. It almost seemed like his future was up in the air and that was probably wrong.

 

[CB3UK]

Damn I dozed off and missed the first little bit of the game

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Thank God they can't hit open 3s.

 

[ukgold]

Shaky start, Toppin needs to hit his free throws.

 

[ala_kat2]

I LOVE Fredrick, but he struggles a little with the ball against good defensive pressure.

Heck, so far they are all struggling.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Everyone bitching about the offense needs to be patient. 2 starters out.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Top has to hit FT's.

 

[RoyKent]

Dribble dribble dribble dribble, take badly contested shot and hope it goes in.

 

[KentuckyDad_rivals217703]

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

I’m thinking Cal wanted him off the bench just in case this exact scenario happened. Lifeless offense with nothing really working, so he comes in as the second win to work.

Lucky

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

We look like a team that's missing the national player of the year, the starting PG and another player lol.

 

[bookerfan66]

Everyone bitching about the offense needs to be patient. 2 starters out.

But we are playing Howard.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

I miss Oscar

 

[jameslee32]

Ugonna in.

 

[JLoad22]

Howard would be up 20 if they could make wide open threes.

First few minutes leaving a lot to be desired. Yuck.

I hope we get up by 20 because whenever we get a big lead, you vanish.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Wallace is going to be good for us this year!

 

[SophiesDad]

Grass is green, sky is blue, and another season of JFCats melting down 3 minutes into a game thread.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Ugonna remember that !

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

U gonna be a problem for teams lol

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Ugonna in.

He’s also going to be good for us this year on the defensive end!

 

[DraftCat]

UGONNA!

 

[jameslee32]

Wallace finishes withthe left hand as well as Wheeler.

 

[megablue]

I LOVE to watch Ugonna RUN !!!

 

[ukfan041]

Onyenso needs all Wares minutes.

 

[Wildcats1st]

This is an interesting lineup
Ugonna
Toppin
Fred
Reeves
Wallace

 

[KentuckyDad_rivals217703]

Reeves has been in for what 2 minutes? Already clear as day he needs to start

 

[bookerfan66]

Wallace is a stud.

 

[bkingUK]

Love Reeves as 6 man

 

[jameslee32]

• Reeves baseline jumper.

 

[SaltyCat22]

Damnit Ugonna let them score dude.

 

[megablue]

THREEVES is instant offense !!!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

love seeing Cason and Reeves driving. Ugonna is a legit backup. Can’t wait for Oscar to get back to grab rebounds.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Toppin rebounding!!! I like it.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

What a rebound and put back by Toppin!

 

[jameslee32]

Toppin incredible rebound and putback!!!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Ugonna is that rim protector we've been missing for quite some time. He'll block on a ton and alter others.

 

[TortElvisII]

7 minutes into the season and Jimmy has not mentioned the nail at the foul line.

 

[megablue]

You simply have to LOVE Ugonna's effort !!!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Ugonna is that rim protector we've been missing for quite some time. He'll block on a ton and alter others.

He’s way better than I thought he would be already.
