*****Alabama @Kentucky Official Game Thread*****

[sefus12]

Also, our offense is horrible today. If someone isn’t really hot, this team struggles. Just really, really ugly.

 

[KyCPA]

If Robinson isn't gonna show in these type of games we're not E8 good. Butler and Oweh are just too short for defenses to care at the rim.

I don't think we are EE good. Sweet 16 good though.

 

[DraftCat]

I cant wait for the 30/30 on how the Refs screwed UK out of 100's of games in 2050

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Brea doesn’t have it today
Carr is hobbled and doesn’t have it today
Fouls are 9-2 in the 2nd half

Not getting a whistle at home is starting to chap my ass

 

[JimboBBN]

Bama’s athleticism is the difference

It does take a special talent to flop and get calls

 

[TheWyldKat]

It sucks because this was looking like a great game in the first half

We are out of position and fouling.

Not refs fault.

 

[BigKari]

Why is Amari Williams so up and down? Absolute monster last game, but a total liability giving very little effort this game and making so many mistakes. I’m fine with Williams starting but Garrison should be getting more of the minutes split.

 

[Farsight]

We are the ONLY Blue Blood who never gets home cooking.

 

[SemperFiCat]

First time I've said this, but Pope needs to work the refs hard. This half has been bizarrely, and obviously lopsided.

 

[UKCat4Ever]

But but but CoRUPPt Arena, right?

 

[CrimsonCats]

I’m not sure about that last foul call, but Nelson is a problem for us. He’s too quick for our bigs, and too big for Oweh.

 

[Soupbean]

I’m gonna pic at apple some… this happened 3 or 4 other games this year where we lose our movement and the ball gets stuck with Williams and we sit there and watch it happen for 8 or ten possessions without correcting it.

When to see Williams dribbling the ball or backing his guy for than once it’s a bit red flag that we’ve lost our movement. Tone out and fix it

 

[Boyd94]

Was pretty much opposite that in 1st half. Nothing was said. Why do people think the fouls have to be called evenly?

Check again, moron.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Perry has had a nightmare, so far.
He’s been no help.

He hasn't had a good game, but he's our best option at backup PG. Jaxson was terrible in that role.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

We don’t have a ton of talent.

The job Pope is doing is outstanding.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Foul trouble sinking this game, started going downhill when Carr went out

 

[ala_kat2]

Also, our offense is horrible today. If someone isn’t really hot, this team struggles. Just really, really ugly.

How many short shots has Butler either passed up or missed? Why is he so reluctant to shoot it?

 

[Edgarman]

Well, it’s amazing the whistle we get at home.

How many of the 9 fouls this half on us were not fouls?

 

[Bluegrass79]

There's certain teams that they lose to at Rupp I'm done watching.
I'll be checking the scores the rest of the year if this team loses this game.

I will not put up with losing to a football school on our home court. Fuk that.
Makes me upset .


I'll check the score I hope they win cuz if they don't I ain't paying no more attention.


Just like with my Packers I ain't putting up with losing no more. Done

 

[TheWyldKat]

Well, it’s amazing the whistle we get at home.

We are late/out of position

Having to foul to avoid the blow by

 

[chasingwildcat]

Today shows that talent is important

Garrison has the best talent in our group and he plays the best

 

[cats#1again]

He can be frustrating but he’s playing hard. He is leaps and bounds better than Garrison at this point. Especially in a matchup like this

You are out of your mind if you believe that

 

[ukbb2003]

Was pretty much opposite that in 1st half. Nothing was said. Why do people think the fouls have to be called evenly?

They don’t, but you can’t tell me that it is being called the same on both ends.

 

[NociHTTP]

Bama’s athleticism is the difference

Well, they also have guys who don't wilt under pressure when shooting the three. They're not afraid to launch from 5 feet behind the arc. Mark keeps talking about all these threes he wants them to shoot. He knows they CAN shoot that many. The guys just don't seem to want to put in the work to get open and help others get open. We see short stints of it.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

I’m not a lip reader but pretty sure Pope just told the Hispanic ref, “It’s 9-2 on our homecourt.”

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Pope raising hell with ref.

 

[Farsight]

WHAT A HUSTLE PLAY OWEH

 

[SemperFiCat]

Needed that spark, bad! Nice, Oweh!!

 

[*CatinIL*]

Nice hustle by O

 

[chroix]

Oweh is the dude

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Remember when some of the "brighter" minds here insinuated that the team that shoots a lot of 3s shouldn't have a lot of fouls called on them.. and the team that shoots less 3s (and therefore drives a lot), should have more called on them?

I'll juat wait for the explanation, I guess. Any minute now.

 

[thebluestripes]

smh is right

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

We are playing a FF team with experience and talent. Carr is hobbled, Butler is beat up, Kerr is out & some guys are off. Yet we are toe to toe with them. Some of guys crack me up acting like we suck. Man up

 

[fisherscatfan]

If Pope is going to let every coach steam roll him and his team he’s going to be in for a long/painful SEC run.

 

[fatguy87]

I have no confidence in Oweh at the line lol

 

[TheBlueMist]

We're going to need Alabama to go cold and make our free throws.

 

[TheWyldKat]

At the moment bama wants it more

Playing with discipline and giving lots of effort on defense

 

[Lazlo7]

Big play OWEH

 

[catben]

Pope raising hell with ref.

HE should, we are getting JOBBED!!!!

WE are the ONLY SEC team that gets NO CALLS at home!!!!

You can always see it in his body language. Once the pouting starts he's done
