*UK vs Gonzaga Game Thread*

[gracetoyou]

Let's go!!!

 

[xtra12]

Playing better. Let's get some of those wild passes under control, and we could have a game again.

 

[OmahaCats]

This looks more like Pope's offense!

It’s not the offense as much as the defense actually getting a few stops which turns into transition offense

 

[FiveStarCat]

Krisa just made a GREAT pass

That was crazy. I thought he passed it right to Gonzaga but he somehow found a ridiculous angle

 

[WildmanWilson_rivals]

Maybe Pope told them to take some pride and play like men. They showed none of that in the first half. Looks like they may be waking up.

Where you trolls at now?

Caressing Cals balls somewhere

This is the third straight game this team has started with no real energy. We were down big at the half because of the lack of effort. This is just an observation for this season, but we need more athletic bigs for next season.

 

[gracetoyou]

Williams has gotten really bad, really fast. This guy is a giant liability for us right now.

Low motor & bad body language

 

[UKDC80]

I really just want them to play hard and smart. Show some heart, make adjustments and give it your all. If they do that the rest of the game; I’m good. Honestly! Not sure what else to expect with Popes first year from a complete rebuild.

Settling in

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Pope's offense is legit. His adjustments are legit. Can't wait until he's been here a few years to fully implement his players and system.

 

[Seth_C]

Where was this the first half?

Exactly. We are capable of what we are seeing. Time to give it 100% of the time.

 

[Wildcat Sheli]

It also doesn't help that these refs are heinous.

Did Higgins pick tonight’s officials in his role as the Coordinator of Officials? https://wccsports.com/news/2024/4/1...ns-collegiate-officiating-consortium-mbb.aspx

Amari is an emotional player at time and it hurts him

What emotions. Apathy seems most prevalent to me.

 

[xtra12]

"life shelf"?

 

[LmdCat]

I hate seeing guys not giving effort.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Attack, attack, attack!!!!!

Keep Garrison in, leave Williams out.

He is the epitome of the Peter principle.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

You have to give it to Pope. He ACTUALLY makes half time adjustments unlike our previous snake oil salesman

That can’t be right, I’ve read so many posts tonight that he’s terrible and obviously isn’t cut out for this level of basketball.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

I think we should double-down on 13 and get our hands in there when he dribbles.

I HATE the way that dude plays... just slams into the defender to back them down, and if the defense pushes back to hold their ground, it's a foul... if the defender doesn't he'll push them under the rim.

Somewhere in Wisconsin, then

 

[LmdCat]

How many damn shots are we going to give them?

 

[Kingslayer07]

Hope nobody went to bed

 

[RoyKent]

Showing some fight!

 

[*CatinIL*]

Come on guys, keep fighting back!

 

[TortElvisII]

How many illegal screens is a team allowed

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I hope Oweh starts lighting players up. That dude has heart.

Yeah he does. Now let’s get Brea some looks so he can burn the rims down. Play some F’in defense Cats and win this *****.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

That's a foul on Kriisa's shot!!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

getting killed on the boards.

If you’re talking about everyone who was giving up on the season you are talking about half the posters here.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

He is having a nice bounce back game after Clemson.

He’s not as bad as people think huh.

 

[FutureCity]

No, don't slow it down. They need to stay engaged to show any fight.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

3 seconds in the lane twice on zags not called

 

[Kingslayer07]

Our guys don't understand what a good box out is..my lord.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Kriisa total momentum killer on those last two shots.

 

[IYAOYAS1]

Kerr is hurting us right now. Stupid putback and that three.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

getting killed on the boards.

Yeah definitely need to figure that out. Play tougher.

 

[JimboBBN]

Gonna have to box out better to come all the way back

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

3 seconds in the lane twice on zags not called

That’s not a call in college.

Pope is doing all that he can with what he has to work with. Our guys don't work hard enough for rebounds.
