***OFFICIAL KENTUCKY TENNESSEE GAME THREAD***

[germuk]

Jackson’s offensive development has completely transformed his ceiling. He’s a force on both ends and dominated UT’s bigs that half.

Hitting 3's opens up the offense

Great 1st half... I actually got a little animated for once this year.

 

[Cats192]

Mintz is 5 for 5. Oh my god.

Where are all the guys that said three point shooting doesn’t matter?

Well, one of them is on the sidelines. Seems that he's finally figured out it does matter.

 

[Kingslayer07]

That’s the sickening part is that.

Just prepare for them to cut it to like 5 or 6. And see what happens from there haha

 

[LmdCat]

How is it that an offense that looked as bad as any seen at UK since Billy ball score 45 first half points against the best SEC defensive team?

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

Remember when Fulkerson had a field day against us last year or year before? He’s doing nothing this year. Better defense or Senior blues?

No sestina or Reid Travis guarding him. Length is bothering him.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

@The_Answer1313 had a post a few days ago about our defensive numbers slipping a bit. Hoping our points allowed per possession this game gets us back on track. Will be interested to see how they compare.

Calipari...YOU better not take your foot off the gas!

 

[ukfan041]

Hate that I can’t watch the game today, but love what I’m hearing. Our boys are playing some ball. Let’s keep it up in the 2nd half

Not only best SEC defensive team.........3rd best in all of college basketball lol

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

Tennessee fans suck booing that walk

The UT fans are the most uneducated on the rules of basketball. They boo every call whether it’s the right one or not.

Shut up

Hitting 3’s at a high rate is the difference.

 

[Lionel_Hutz]

Jackson is a monster. Could work his way into the top 10 of the draft. Definitely bottom of the lottery

Who gives a sh*t? He needs to come back.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Get ready for 15 or more fouls to be called on us 2nd half.

Looking really good so far today.

 

[bbanks81]

That was honestly the first time this year I have yelled with excitement all season! That was actually fun!

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Please win this game. Hell that 10-pt lead with 12:00 to go last time that turned into a 26-2 Vols run still fresh in my mind.

 

[DraftCat]

That sums up the season we have had a 2nd half lead in 9 of our 13 losses. I guess thats freshman for ya

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Alabama struggling with Vandy now tells me there's really no team in the SEC we couldn't beat by 10 if we just play smart. Bama was the last one.

 

[Catluv]

I think an adjustment is moving Sarr out on the floor more. This gives Toppin and IJ and Brooks more room to drive. Even Askew has room to drive. Sarr is better facing up also!!

 

[westerncat]

Love the way we are playing so far ! If UK can win this game it will be HUGH.

 

[Cat in ga]

Boston should come back. Not gonna happen though. IJ is gone. Just hope Toppin comes back.

 

[katwest]

The Tennessee guard that scored before half double dribbles and no call. I have seen that a lot this year, why is it not being watched?

 

[LmdCat]

Hitting 3’s at a high rate is the difference.

..and a lot of confidence!!

 

[IFerg1969]

Wow! Where the hell has this team been all year. Offense looks great. D too. Keep it up boys!!!

 

[ala_kat2]

Calipari...YOU better not take your foot off the gas!

He will, he can’t help it.

 

[TortElvisII]

Of the three threes we've missed, two of Boston's were halfway down and popped out.

 

[fatguy87]

I hope we don't turn this into a grind. Keep shooting the open 3's with confidence. I'd like to see us put up over 10 attempts from 3 in the second half.

 

[willyclyde]

I’m starting to think that what we are seeing now is what we would’ve started to see in November/December in a non Covid year. And our ****** performances that were losses this year would’ve been enough to squeak out some W’s against poop state at the beginning of a normal season.

 

[tls]

Pretty much a perfect half. Only really bad play was the giveaway by Brooks after getting a board.

Just keep making shots and this is a surprising W

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

FWIW
It's actually Alabama that has the 2nd best overall defense and tops in the SEC.

Alabama has given up 0.90 in the SEC up to this point.
UT is second........but giving up 0.96.

Yes that's how good Alabama has been..........on DEFENSE.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Haven’t got to watch or listen to 1st half. We must be playing some dam good ball.

 

[RACdad]

He will, he can’t help it.

If it's close the final 5 you bet your ars he will "grind" ball

Alabama flops a lot

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

Get ready for 15 or more fouls to be called on us 2nd half.

at least the refs haven’t called all the flops and throwing their head back to this point.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

How many layups is Jackson going to miss?

Why not dunk it??

 

[kyjeff1]

Like I said earlier, the refs just need to continue calling the game the same way they have been. They controlled our last three games and made them come down to the wire. They were ridiculous Wednesday night. This is a different crew, so there's hope.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Get ready for 15 or more fouls to be called on us 2nd half.

Thinking the same thing. Saw only 5 fouls called (on both teams), and said, out loud, "Oh SH*T."
