*UK vs Gonzaga Game Thread*

[WildcatSir]

Pope can coach. That is all.

 

[mcwildcats04]

That felt like an ETERNITY when Gonzaga got that rebound and was going full court. Thank you Carr for getting your hand in there to knock the ball loose! What a win!

 

[TortElvisII]

If you went to bed at half time, don't watch this.

 

[oldsports_]

As soon as we got the 4 ranking I said we hadn’t proven anything and we were a hodgepodge of players. Some guys thought the one Duke win was proof we were really an exceptional team. Playing these cream puffs had too many fooled.

Lol

 

[LmdCat]

Carr goes from anti-clutch to clutch in about 4 seconds.

The second missed free throw saved us.

 

[mebeblue2]

man what a great win
it looked almost over at halftime
but then again so did the 31 point comeback against LSU
it aint over until it's over

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

All y’all chicken little halftime babies can suck it! Pope for life MF’ers. Cal would have lost this game by 35!

 

[BC_Wader]

Time for a much needed beer

 

[hotelblue]

pope already winning the kind of games cal never could. in fact, we’d have been out against duke and gonzaga with stud talent.

great fight down the stretch defensively. even against clemson they showed this. great job.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Blood Pressure gotta be 200/120

 

[TortElvisII]

Robinson grew up tonight.

 

[Skyguyb27]

Nah no one should eat crow.

We played extremely poorly that 1st half. We looked terrible.

But this team has a ton of fight in them. And played amazing in the second half.

Yeah first half sucked but some of these dudes had wrote Cats off before the game even started and then proceeded to put em down the whole game.

 

[johndeerefan]

I’ll eat. Completely different team mentality in the 2nd half.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Hey, @JFCats22 ...

 

[kywildcat1021979]

WITHOUT our star point guard!!!

Jaxon did a fantastic job stepping in!!!!

 

[KYExtemper]

Over 4 seconds and they don’t even get a shot off. LOL

I feel like our defense won't get a lot of praise for this game but we clearly had the Zags out of sorts a lot in the second half. Refreshing to have a coach throw new defensive looks out there. Teams can't just keep spamming something that works against us.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

And the good thing from a resume standpoint if you had to win one of these two games, winning the Gonzaga game would look much better than the Clemson one lol.

No one on that committee is going to care we lost a close game on the road to Clemson. They will take note of a road win vs the Zags tho.

 

[RichardCory]

How is it possible that I'm still watching?

I'm a complete addict.

You optimistic SOB - looks like they did find away ! Same reason I kept watching too! I can understand the slow start, playing without their known point guard and then lose the backup too. Fun but nerve-wracking game, Like my Coach and team!

 

[BassProCat]

HUUUGE

 

[WeWant9]

Without a doubt that was the best game I’ve ever seen in person. Amazing atmosphere and great game. Lets f**cking go Cats!

 

[fisherscatfan_rivals101526]

It has been soooo long I literally don’t know what to think. My wife starts reading some effing FB post during a pause and I am surprised I didn’t lose my **** on her.

LUL how’d that age for ya?

 

[rob_47]

Let's goooooooo!!!!! One of the best feel good wins in a while!!! What a comeback

 

[*CatinIL*]

CMP must of had a great halftime message for the team.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

To the guy who wanted perry to play 25 to 30 minutes and said we had no shot without butler, Pope is smarter than you.

 

[Thunder Mash]

 

[ScottGreene22]

don't have video access. can someone describe what happened at the end?

We WON !!!!!

TV’s are 20-30 seconds behind the DRAFTKINGS app I had KY money line and the over was watching the app

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Yeah first half sucked but some of these dudes had wrote Cats off before the game even started and then proceeded to put em down the whole game.

Between the Duke game and this one, I have a feeling most won't be writing us off so quickly as this season goes on.

 

[Skyguyb27]

I’ll eat. Completely different team mentality in the 2nd half.

I agree. I even said embarrassing first half, it sucked. Whatever Pope said in 2nd half he needs to say that before the start of every game.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Let me say it again…..

Jaxson Freakin’ Robinson

 

[SJBud_rivals]

Great Win Cats!

 

[KentuckyStout]

lol at the little bitches that went to bed

 

[gbl97]

Flipped the script on the 2nd half. They missed layups and we made ours.

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

This deserves an extra beer

 

[LmdCat]

All y’all chicken little halftime babies can suck it! Pope for life MF’ers. Cal would have lost this game by35.

The first half concerns were warranted considering it was the third straight game this team has shown no first half life. It isn't about Pope; it is about the players. It is time for some real gut check by some, especially Williams.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

So glad I took the temptation of typing a bunch of negativity by shutting down my computer.

Great team effort in the 2nd half. Gonzaga didn't give that game away. UK TOOK IT!!! LFG!!!

 

[Skyguyb27]

Between the Duke game and this one, I have a feeling most won't be writing us off so quickly as this season goes on.

I agree. Your not safe with a 15 point win.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Robinson probably needs a lot more PT at the point

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Make sure to look back at tbe disgraceful performance by @JFCats22

See ya!

Tag me too I had my usual dumbass takes. I’m happy either way the cats win

 

[rob_47]

Yeah first half sucked but some of these dudes had wrote Cats off before the game even started and then proceeded to put em down the whole game.

Yep that's one of the best parts about winning is those guys not having their glory
