***UNC vs. UK Game Thread ***

[katwest]

Grady has got to get more shots off, he turned down a couple already. There are times when we didn't have anybody on the floor that could score, thankfully Cal noticed that. Guys Toppin has all the tools and I'm not seeing much. He is a junior and plays like a freshman, he's got to contribute more if we are going to be a good team.

Watching this game with a huge KU fan. God he won’t shut up.

Wow that was your 1st mistake watching a game with a KU fan.

 

[CB3UK]

They are. And they aren’t. Depends on which UNC shows up.

Good UNC. Bad UNC. **** em both.

You mean he's a fat *** ?

 

[gbl97]

UNC is 0-6 from three. How many do they hit in the 2nd half? I'll say 8.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

We need to defend Bandicoot.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Nearly halftime and we’ve shot 7.

Math sucked for you huh?

We had 7 attempts with 5 minutes left in the half, when I posted that. You’re obviously not watching the same game the rest of us are watching. I apologize for interrupting your agenda. Carry on.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Said we can’t guard free throws. 25 of them no less.

bacot is a 56% shooter and he’s making them all. Smh

Ask him who Kansas is playing in their bowl game.

 

[jessieshorts8]

But if we beat UNC by 20-25 and Allen doesn't get in............for some it's an L lol

Very much doubt that.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Kill him.

Only joking.

Or are you?

 

[HenryMuto]

Nice to be up 11 but should be 15+. Kentucky was 288-12 when leading by 10+ with Cal before this year not sure what it stands at now.

 

[bbnkat02]

Good UNC. Bad UNC. **** em both.

Again. I ain’t complaining.

 

[bigsmoothie]

Cal calls timeout and comes back out with THAT same lineup that is completely inept offensively ... guy has completely lost all awareness ... Ware and Toppin combo out there for what, 10 straight minutes?

Hurts you real bad don’t it

 

[crxohio]

This officiating is bad, bad. Tired of it

 

[oldsports_]

Refs cheating us. Should be 53 to 36. We never get the whistle

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

What is amazing is we’re playing very well and this thread contains about 50% bitching and negative stuff. C’mon, we’re playing very hard, very fast and very well. It is very nice to see. Effort is incredible !!
GO CATS !!!

But that inbounds pass. C’mon. Ruined the whole game.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

bacot is a 56% shooter and he’s making them all. Smh

Hopefully the law of averages catches up to him in the 2nd half!

 

[Blue63Madison]

Must be nice when your coach lets players with 2 fouls play

Why would you risk your best player getting three first half fouls, when you have a double digit lead?

 

[bbnkat02]

Nice to be up 11 but should be 15+. Kentucky was 288-12 when leading by 10+ with Cal before this year not sure what it stands at now.

Yeah. Stripes helped that lead come down. We got hosed on those two calls. One no charge and then the other a block. Horse crap.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Speaking of Dontaie Allen ... his name doesn't appear in the box score on the ESPN website. Did he quit the team, or is he sick, or is he on the bench and just hasn't gotten into the game yet ?

He hates you and doesn’t want to play while you’re watching.

 

[jameslee32]

UNC is astonishingly bad. I mean. Astonishing. I had no idea.

They make 8 threes a game and won 5 in-a-row. Enough to get all the talking heads on board.

 

[TortElvisII]

Said we can’t guard free throws. 25 of them no less.

They shot 11.

 

[CincyUKFan]

Those 11 offensive rebounds are the difference.

And UNC being 0-6 from deep. If they get back to their 41% average, it could spell trouble.

 

[fatguy87]

Only 4 turnovers and 2 were right at the end.

We are winning the possession game.

Turnovers:

UK - 5
UNC - 5

Offensive rebounds:

UK - 11
UNC - 3

That's an extra 8 possessions.

More possessions and our stingy defense is why we have a nice halftime margin. I'd like us to generate some higher quality looks in the halfcourt. I don't know if we can rely on midrange jumpers from Wheeler and Brooks if the offensive glass dries up and/or UNC gets hot.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Lots of refs seem to have it out against Calipari. I wonder what he says to them all game that makes them turn into vengeful wenches.

 

[bbnkat02]

Are you high? Oscar would be fouled out by now. UNC and Duke can do that crap. We can’t.

 

[gbl97]

Why would you risk your best player getting three first half fouls, when you have a double digit lead?

Because if Oscar had played, we are up 25 and they quit at halftime.

 

[jameslee32]

25 FTs for UNC. Striped protection baby.

He exaggerates of course. But he knows Ayers a lot better than we do.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Lol I guess this is another subpar team that Cal shouldn't have scheduled, Huh?

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

And UNC being 0-6 from deep. If they get back to their 41% average, it could spell trouble.

We are playing defense. I wish them luck.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Done a good job of not allowing UNC to get off clean 3s. Now well see what Hubert Davis does to adjust and if we will have an answer.

 

[UKortho]

We need to defend Bandycoot.

Crash bandicoot

 

[bbnkat02]

It’s because we pissed off Gods gift to college officiating in Higgins.

Had the lead at 17, wish we kept it there, let go of the rope a little at the end.
Hopefully we build it back up.

 

[gbl97]

If Oscar is allowed to play through the fouls, he would finish the game having played more minutes than if he's benched. Why would you want him to play fewer minutes?

 

[bookerfan66]

It’s because we pissed off Gods gift to college officiating in Higgins.

No.It started long before that.

 

[TortElvisII]

He exaggerates of course. But he knows Ayers a lot better than we do.

Wymer is no picnic.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Cal needs this win. A win over the hated Heels acts as a stop gap measure for a week or so, and one BBN really needs.

 

[ck-2]

Yep. And that’s why it’s crap.

and amazingly he never picks up his third. Hmmmmm

He should’ve had three minimum.
