UK vs Nicholls game thread

[kybassfan]

Somebody, brick, remind me, brick, why nobody takes, brick brick, midrange, brick, jumpers, brick brick brick, anymore, brick brick brick brick brick brick?

 

[bbnkat02]

Aberdeen: Yeah, I meant to do that!

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

He meant taking out a player that had just gotten hot.

Again, y’all just like to make stuff up.

 

[bbnkat02]

That was GT REF!

These dudes suck!

 

[Kingslayer07]

Oweh does have an incredibly fast first step.

 

[phyrekat01]

How was that NOT GT?

 

[BassProCat]

We don’t have a playmaker

He’s hurt on the bench.

 

[anon1777473514]

We look somewhat settled down now. Maybe we are set to go on a run here

 

[bbnkat02]

Honestly... no. At least so far, I'm just not seeing the hallmarks of a team that will seriously contend for a title. The Purdue game seems like fool's gold at this point... and/or Purdue was vastly overrated. But it's early, and we haven't seen our actual team yet with so many guys dinged up. So hopefully we get healthy and we end up looking way better soon. I just don't know how optimistic I should be that this will come to pass.

The effort is better this half. I feel better about that.

 

[UKSanders]

If the Cats didn’t play in the SEC, I’d say this Nicholls team may have been the fouling-est team I’ve ever seen

 

[kywildcat1021979]

They are letting this Nicholls team honestly play with us. I understand we are up by 19 but we look so sloppy. Letting that team blow by us I thought we would be more athletic this year I’m just not seeing it.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

I’m kinda surprised pope kept Garrison

We need a good big guy that has good footwork and can score

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Phantom pass by Aberdeen lol

 

[Anon1751335390]

We are much better when Chandler isn't playing PG.

 

[UK_WINS_NCAA]

Williams and Jelavic nowhere near ready. Pope can't be Mr nice guy and just play them no matter what.

 

[bbnkat02]

How was that NOT GT?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Amazing what making shots can do lol

 

[Hoskins91_rivals]

No, I'm not providing analysis. I'm not saying we are great and I'm not saying we suck. I'm saying we are a team trying to gel.

Cool. No one cares.

 

[bbnkat02]

Jasper Playstation Johnson

 

[megablue]

Put Hawthorne in !!

 

[Kingslayer07]

Moreno got hammered.. no call.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I just hope when we get Lowe and JQ back our whole dynamic changes. I honestly don’t see us winning anything with the current state of the roster.

 

[bbnkat02]

lol. Mugged at our end. Touch foul at theirs. Yep, UK basketball season.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Moreno got hammered.. no call.

Yeah I dunno how that's not a foul there.

 

[Artlaibesghost]

If anyone wondered about Aberdeens value to the team tonight should answer it

 

[bbnkat02]

I just hope when we get Lowe and JQ back our whole dynamic changes. I honestly don’t see us winning anything with the current state of the roster.

Let's see how we do next week.

 

[CrossPlainsCat]

Cool. No one cares.

then I'll fit right in with you and others. posting stuff that _no one_ cares about.

 

[UKSanders]

Moreno got hammered.. no call.

yeah, I’m thinking the refs feel like they can’t call them all?

I mean, Nicholls reaches and hacks at the ball every drive and every rebound. I’m not saying they are fouling every time, but they cannot be doing it clean that much either…

 

[bbnkat02]

Yeah I dunno how that's not a foul there.

The refs:

 

[KYSouthpaw]

What am I watching? Passing is terrible, nobody cutting backdoor, shooting is horrendous. Jalen Lowe can't get back quickly enough. This is not what I expected for Pope 2.0.

 

[BassProCat]

Amazing what making shots can do lol

Started by being aggressive and getting to the hoop

 

[UK_BlueBlood]

The effort is better this half. I feel better about that.

Effort is fine. I just don't see the talent or abilities to make me think this team is a Final Four team.

 

[kyjeff1]

Effort is a bit subjective.

I don't think a lack of effort is what happened this half. We just shot the ball horribly. Which........happens. Better to have happened in one half vs Nichols, a team we are going to beat by 25+ anyways vs next week vs UL. And this game won't have any bearing on that one.

The concerning part is, it's not just the first half of this game, we looked this bad in 40 minutes against unranked Georgetown too. We had nothing for Georgetown, they owned us for all 40 minutes.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

The refs:

it's kinda unreal lol

I mean if I was that bad at my job, I'd have been fired a long time ago haha.

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

I just hope when we get Lowe and JQ back our whole dynamic changes. I honestly don’t see us winning anything with the current state of the roster.

I don’t think Lowe is the type of talent to change dramatically. JQ is the difference maker we need.

 

[bbnkat02]

Effort is fine. I just don't see the talent or abilities to make me think this team is a Final Four team.

Long way to go.

 

[bbnkat02]

Going inside. Thank you Pope.

 

[BassProCat]

I promise you if DA started the O would’ve been soo much better

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

The concerning part is, it's not just the first half of this game, we looked this bad in 40 minutes against unranked Georgetown too. We had nothing for Georgetown, they owned us for all 40 minutes.

Ya gotta think tho how many games in previous seasons have we had halves where we looked like absolute crap?

Happens every year right?

We are up 28 in this one now. We'll cover easily. Despite the crap half.

We won't always look as good as we looked vs Purdue and we won't always look as bad as we have vs GT and the first half here.

You just hope that the Purdue is more the norm than the latter. And I think it will be.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Moreno is better than Garrison. Prove me wrong
