*****OFFICIAL Manhattan vs Kentucky Game Thread (MBB) ******

[BBallin23]

Great half!!

 

[MaysviileKY]

I think Kam will be a big lift when he’s back. He can be that corner shooter that is reliable.

 

[BCD]

Bourbon run…..

 

[bbnkat02]

I know we're uneasy and FB is doing well. But that half was fun for a bit.

Let's keep it going!

 

[kyjeff1]

Hawthorne is too much to type. Does he have a nickname?

Tayshaun Prince Jr.?

 

[Omega_X]

I’m kinda surprised by how many empty seats there are down low. I’d love to see what the upper deck looks like.

 

[OGtruebluewildcat]

Folks I’m starting to see the plan come together.

We got dudes who can flat out get buckets. Pope hasn’t had legitimately 4-5 scorers. MM, Moreno, Wilkins, Williams, even Hawthorne. None of them are ball hogs either. They all can create via the pass too.

Then the overall height and length is really going to be a problem defensively which is going to lead to a very difficult to defend open court transition.

Wilkins, Williams, Chilli, Moreno running and gunning after a swatted pass or shot will be dam near impossible to stop. Even Ndai and Hawthorne can get shots off.

We will know who we are after Kansas. We will improve as the season goes forward.

 

[The Ganner]

We can probably get hot and beat just about anybody. Momcilovic is a baller and Moreno (if he doesn't get in foul trouble) looks really good. But I don't see a team that can compete for an SEC title or a FF.

Diallo just isn't good and while I like Mason and Wilkins they're not an elite backcourt and we have no depth. At forward, I'd like Ousmane more if he didn't shoot so much, but Pope is giving him a green light. I just don't think we have enough to consistently win if teams take away the three or we have off nights. But any given night we could see Momcilovic pour in 8 threes by himself and a couple others guys get a few each and just score 100 on somebody.

 

[RedwoodHigh]

Great Half .
We got a deep Long Team.
Any complaints should be lodged with Bruce Pearl & Jimmy Dykes.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Obviously if you can't stop mamabitch then Kentucky is probably going to stay right with you or beat you.


Slow him down will be what every team tries to do.... If he doesn't score Kentucky loses what they probably think

 

[jeffky]

Nice 1st half

 

[Catastic5]

Momo is insane.

 

[BCD]

MiMo! Boom!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wilkins is playing awesome

 

[bbnkat02]

ZOOM!

 

[Colts240]

Ok if we shoot like this we going to be elite

 

[bbnkat02]

Zoom looking to pass and try to make plays. Ok man. I see you.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wilkins' vision is elite today

 

[bbnkat02]

My heart just skipped.....Mom you can not get hurt.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Alot Of empty seats I'm not used to seeing that.

So y'all just not going to show up huh?

Bunch of show me mfers

 

[Catastic5]

Good for Diallo.

 

[bbnkat02]

Zoom Zoom!

 

[RedwoodHigh]

Looks likes the Democrats are kicking azz &
Congratulations to Andy Barr.Thank you Mitch - enjoy your rretirement
GO BIG BLUE

 

[bbnkat02]

Aight aight. Too sloppy. Stop trying to be cute.

 

[jeffky]

Zoom

 

[kyjeff1]

If we're going to be any good, we need Zoom to catch up and be one of the better SEC PG's.

 

[Catastic5]

Zoom starting to get confident.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Make a fool out of me, Zoom

 

[Anon1751335390]

Nice half for Zoom. He's getting to the rim.

 

[Colts240]

Wilkins going to get a ton of steals

 

[Beatle Bum]

Wilkins is a wild man. 6 steals.

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

Zoom looks like he’s gained a little confidence. When he’s decisive, he’s a threat with the ball.

 

[UKSanders]

Nice half for Zoom. He's getting to the rim.

He's seems to be really good attacking when he receives a pass. He has just been pressing it too much when he's attacking as the primary ballhandler

 

[HolySmokes]

Up thirty like we should be so I cant find anything bad to say.
Couple things Id like to see tho is zoom relax. Nidaye attack the basket more and play down low some. Moreno try and find something to piss him off before each game.

 

[bbnkat02]

Need to pass a smidge quicker and crisper.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Oozie having a rough night

 

[OGtruebluewildcat]

Zoom getting on track, improving mainly in confidence and comfortability…we’re looking at a squad.

If Zoom zooms and starts getting buckets? Who the hell do Ds prioritize?

 

[bbnkat02]

So ND gets hacked and NOTHING but we go straight up and down and TWEET!

Piss off ref.

 

[Colts240]

That was no foul
