******UK vs Vandy Official Game Thread...Dedicated to CINDOG******

[zannmann]

Yay!!!!! Hagans had 1 turnover. First time he has done that in a while. Keep it up man.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Good second half come back, it it should never have had to be a come back.

Lol some posters in this game thread need a gender check. I'll start it.

"Start up the bus"
"Wish we were like duke"
"I hate this team"
"They just don't care"

“9 million a year”
“the offense is outdated”
“need some sets!”
“wish we were a elite program still”
“will bruce pearl be my valentine”

 

[Bkocats]

With the exception of a couple of calls...this game was really well officiated
We made a lot of stupid mistakes and tried to play hero ball first half
For most of the second half we were good (slight lapse near the end....but still)
Now if we could play the way we did in the second half all 40 minutes we might be alright
And oh yeah..we beat the spread

 

[CatEye2010]

Cal played rope-a-dope in the first half, or like a cat playing with a mouse 'til he decides game over for the poor mouse.

 

[Short-Dawg-69]

Way to step up the 2nd half after being down 9.

 

[MarkPftw]

21 pt swing, but I agree.

28 point swing from when we were down 36-22 though.

First play of the game, wasn’t it?

Say hello to a 6/7 seed.

 

[HenryMuto]

North Carolina should beat Duke but is getting crushed by Wake Forset.............

Tennessee meanwhile puts the smack down on Arkansas who has completely sucked since we beat them.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Best half of the year, save for those 30 seconds trying to inbound

Yep. Damn good thing Vandy is the worst team in the SEC

 

[bbnkat02]

This Kentucky game was brought to you by Cole Porter’s “Night & Day”.

 

[jameslee32]

Good call JAMES. Glad I didn’t jinx you. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

We've had several of these the past few years. The trolls don't know what hit 'em!!

 

[Oneandnotdone38]

Remember when the game was over in the first half.

 

[Atrain7732]

If UK makes 6-3s in a game you are going to have to play perfect to beat them.

I know some fans complain but I love this style of play. Emphasize driving the ball and you will make a higher percentage of your shots and just as importantly you will draw fouls. At least if the refs call them.

Jacking threes like Vandy and Auburn only is a winning strategy if you hit at a good clip. Even still not guaranteed. With our style you aren’t reliant on the outside shot to any extent. UK can win games when just dead cold from outside.

 

[RoyKent]

21 pt swing, but I agree.

We were down 14 and won by 14.

14 + 14 = 28

 

[$Z71$]

Tennessee won by 21 at Vandy this year..............

A&M won by 19 at Vandy this year............

And we just beat them by 23 in the second half.......

"this game is over!"

 

[kybassfan]

I don't know what team we all watched in the 1st half the one that wasn't making any of us feel very good but that team was left in the locker room and wasn't the team I just watched in the 2nd half.

When you have a team jacking 3’s like that and hitting 50+ percent, don’t be surprised when you get down. In that pig barn, many Kentucky teams have floundered. You quit, they didn’t.

 

[CatEye2010]

CLODS and trolls be gone.

GO CATS!!!!

 

[KyFaninNC]

Cal played rope-a-dope in the first half, or like a cat playing with a mouse 'til he decides game over for the poor mouse.

Well I wish he would stop it. Some of us are old with weak hearts

 

[bbnkat02]

Yeah, we should just stopped at halftime. We just suck. I read it right here on this thread.


What?? We won??

That was the most bipolar game I’ve ever watched. We looked awful in that first half. AWFUL.

Best play just about all year in the second.

 

[markusarrow]

never seen like 6 fouls called tht quick until the end ,there is def. an agenda gth refs always having to beat them as well gbb

 

[jameslee32]

Remember when the game was over in the first half.

We are a 7 seed someone said.

 

[zannmann]

UNCheats 10-13 getting blown out by 10-13 Wake Forest, battle of the cellar dwellers.

 

[katwest]

Winning this game tonight after the first half was tremendous in this teams growth, notice the 4 upperclassmen had a lot to do with it. They hung in there and played tough and won the game despite Vandy playing a flawless first half, great game cats!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HenryMuto]

This Vandy guy seems bitter

the VandyBoys will repay all of this with interest
@anchorofgold
These players deserve better than this “home” crowd.

 

[CatEye2010]

Out-rebounded them 43-32, we shot 6-9 3's for 67%; Candy cooled down to 11-28 for 39%. Game.

 

[jameslee32]

That was the most bipolar game I’ve ever watched. We looked awful in that first half. AWFUL.

Best play just about all year in the second.

But we nearly cut it to 7 on that drive by Maxey to end the half. It was doable.

 

[j4uk]

for some reason this team in the first half just doesn't have it. Seems to do things college basketball has never seen. Then in the 2nd half it's a complete 180. Until they do a serious rewind and look at this sh*t and really come to terms with how bad that first half was we are in trouble. Then again, I can see this team in the elite 8. It's just insane. Play like we did in the 2nd half from here on out and we are there. Play like we did in the first half we should be happy/sad to even be included in the tourney.

 

[Atrain7732]

See ya Scottie!!! Be gone!

"this game is over!"

Will any of them eat their crow like real men?

I have zero issue with anyone legit criticizing the players or Cals effort or execution of warranted.

But this personal agenda some clearly have against Cal that they wait around until UK is losing to throw out there is BS. Like we all aren’t onto their shtick at this point. We know what you are doing. Give it up.

 

[HenryMuto]

The Cats may come back to win this game but can anyone here say with confidence they think we are going to win tonight ?

I still stand by my statement at the time I said it. We were down 14 and they were hitting everything and we were doing nothing right.

Now if you had told me that team wasn't playing the 2nd half and we got some new team that was going to play like they did I would felt a lot better.

 

[bbnkat02]

But we nearly cut it 7 on that drive by Maxey to end the half. It was doable.

Oh absolutely. But man. We looked worn out, lost, like somebody shot our dog until right before the half. I hate watching us like that. It’s just frustrating.

And then at half time. I don’t know who said what. But it worked. We came out mad as hell. I LIKE THAT.

 

[pauled#1]

And another good win!

 

[RunninRichie]

we showed fight and want to win we could’ve folded after being down 14 but we fought back we’re getting better

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Hagans sucks taking the ball out of bounds against the press.

Also the other guys need to make at least two hard cuts to go for the ball. They were just standing still.

 

[Kybluedude]

I wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with a lot of these weak of heart posters. “ we’re doomed” “ need to surrender”. Glad Cal and the team have heart.

 

[Atrain7732]

Oh absolutely. But man. We looked worn out, lost, like somebody shot our dog until eight before the half. I hate watching us like that. It’s just frustrating.

And then at half time. I don’t know who said what. But it worked. We came out mad as hell. I LIKE THAT.

Yep energy was there from the start of the second half. Noticeably different feel on both ends. Something woke their asses up.

Can’t really blame him
The GBB chant was louder than anything their crowd did
