••OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS AUBURN GAME THREAD••

[Dontworryboutit23]

Ugo needs to shoot that pop shot there, but all in all a great first half from Kentucky. Auburn is gonna 10 times more physical in the second half and turn everything up, Kentucky has to match the intensity again

 

[NociHTTP]

Reeves needs to do more in the second half

Reed, too.

 

[Kerry Kat]

4 players with two BS fouls. These SEC Refs smh

 

[TriCountyCat]

He’s actually done pretty well. Has a few 3s

I agree, he has played great but for us to pull the upset he needs double digits in the second half. Plus I would like to see home cook 1 v 1 some.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Excellent.

This team learns to play defense, they got a shot this season.

 

[$Z71$]

When was the last time a Cal TO lead to points? Ridiculous. Still happy with the first half.

The Play was there, players execution wasn't.

 

[TankedCat]

so what if Mitchell turns out to be the biggest challenge to us playing defense

 

[Fancatstik]

Cal never lets anyone finish a question when he's being interviewed. So rude.

 

[permdaddy]

Can't ask for more than maximum effort which I think we got. Do that for another 20 minutes we might have a chance. Don't think AU is going to shoot 29% again but we have to keep fighting when a few drop don't lose focus.

 

[ck-2]

With the guards we have I don’t understand why we are always drawing up plays out of a timeout for a big to score. And it always fails.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Really no complaints other than Dilly chucking for like 2 minutes straight in the middle of the half. Played pretty good D. Lets keep it up for 20 more minutes!!

 

[CatWhistle]

Put your seatbelts on, fellas.

 

[$Z71$]

Excellent.

This team learns to play defense, they got a shot this season.

Second game in a row we held opponent to 29 points. This time against a top 10 offense in Auburn.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Our guys have to get him open somehow.

I would like to see him attack and get to the freethrow line, he has been assume at that lately

 

[LmdCat]

Do we ever score out of a timeout?

We had zero chance of scoring because the ball should have been Shepard's hands,

 

[Kycatspaws]

Let's go Wildcats!

 

[ThunderMash]

Can't rely on Auburn shooting 28% again in the 2nd half. Gotta have this one.

 

[mdlUK.1]

They’re not going to keep missing those put backs. We have to rebound better.great 1st half though.

 

[NociHTTP]

Box score doesn't even show Z playing the first half

He had his hands straight up, scorekeeper can only see 2D.

 

[G-PIP]

UK hasn't really played that well either, at least on offense.

Yeah, but it also seems like Auburn has missed a lot of shots. I think we'll need better offense in the 2nd half.

 

[KyCatFan]

I've never seen a team not ever get a good shot off to end the half or game. So you can write it up as a loss if we are down with the ball for the last shot.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Cal never lets anyone finish a question when he's being interviewed. So rude.

Jess Sims is sexy af! Whew!

 

[Mash 2.4]

With 3 7 footers now available we somehow are now thin in the front court. But i’ll take that first half. Can’t let loose to start second half.

 

[cathouse]

Pearl is such a an a$$...more worried about 2 points than his own player who might have a concussion.

Pearl lobbying for a flagrant foul on Onyenso.

 

[gbl97]

Gotta try running some offense next half. One on one is fine as long as the circus shots go in.

 

[pauled]

No but you can’t freaking turn it over.

I figured we would turn it over for a run out dunk!

 

[ala_kat2]

Box score doesn't even show Z playing the first half

Maybe one has to play more than 30 sec?

 

[true blue1]

Make up call. Refs suck ass.

3 in a row!

 

[GLR5555]

I agree, he has played great but for us to pull the upset he needs double digits in the second half. Plus I would like to see home cook 1 v 1 some.

Makes me sick to think a win vs AU is considered an upset. No UK win should be an upset.

 

[TriCountyCat]

I said it before the game: Auburn needs 8-10 3s to win. They have 3 so far I think.

 

[Bigblueamdyou]

Cal never lets anyone finish a question when he's being interviewed. So rude.

cry about it lol

 

[TankedCat]

 

[mdlUK.1]

UK is the worst team in the country when they have the ball in the final possession of the half. Cal out of a timeout NEVER fails.

My God.

Ugo was 2‘ from the basket. He should have shot it. That’s not on Cal.

 

[BlueRunner11]

Not a bad play call for Reed…trying to execute it through Ugo was the mistake. Not his game.

 

[UKDC80]

Put your seatbelts on, fellas.

I’m gonna be drunk either by the time this ends. I want this dam game so bad.

 

[HenryMuto]

Nothing has changed about how I feel about our chances yet. Still feel like we have no chance to win this game. No way Auburn sucks that bad in the 2nd half again.

 

[crawfords corner]

I dont like that the lead is only 10

 

[UKDC80]

Not a bad play call for Reed…trying to execute it through Ugo was the mistake. Not his game.

Yep. You just can’t involve him there. You have too many playmakers. He shouldn’t touch it. Only rebound.

 

[HenryMuto]

Sure would been nice to get a shot off at the end that is frustrating may as well not have called timeout.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

We had zero chance of scoring because the ball should have been Shepard's hands,

If ugo catches it cleanly, it most likely a foul or a shot attempt at the very least
