Game was nearing danger zone until the lineup with these two went on a quick run. Chandlers improvement over the season has been incredible
Collin Chandler and Brandon Garrison saved us
- Thread starter FiveStarCat
- Start date
I had a feeling Garrison would be key for us in this game. He certainly came through. Loved that spark Chandler gave the Cats off the bench. He is the X-Factor in making a run. Keeps getting better!
The game was never in doubt.
Chandlers three when we were only up 6 was big . Very big .
Yes they played well. After this performance Williams should identify as a woman and call Kenny Brooks about joining his team.
Troy cut it to 6 with 13 to go before the lineup change I’m referring to came in. Maybe not in doubt but it was on the cusp of getting there. You’re lying if you weren’t a little nervous
Chandler is improving every game.
carr had probably his best half in months, to start the game. brea is the quiet efficient player now. 5-9 fg’s, 0 turnovers in big minutes. oweh was efficient and led us again. all good.
you may laugh, but i thought the biggest shot of the game was noah’s 3 in the first half. got us our first cushion and we never gave it up.

And those three big free throws!
Looked very comfortable hitting those 3 FTs. That was every bit as impressive as the two 3s. But those 9 points in a quick spurt certainly changed the game for us. .
Absolutely want him back here next season, he is improving every game lately and coukd be very important to the rotation next year. Hope Pope can convince him to stay and not transfer.
garrison drives me crazy settling for 3's when there are better shots to be had. Williams drives me crazy by not trying to dunk everything close to the basket
You definitely want Garrison Chandler and Oweh all back as Al 3 will be starters next season. As for this game both provided a much needed spark off the bench that put Troy out
Chandler hit some daggers. Those shots were critical momentum wise. Noah too.
Yes it was. And then he added the 3 FTs shortly after that to finally stretch the lead.
Noah's contributions in the first half were significant for this win also.
The whole team was playing tight. Chandler came in loose and let it rip.
I'm still going to give credit to Noah in the first half, he gave a spark when we really needed it. Agree on Chandler.
Both were more aggressive tonight than they normally play and it showed!!!
Both need to keep it up from here on out!!!
Love seeing our young guys contribute in a big way!!!

Not enough love for Carr. He needs to shoot more. When he gets inside and shoots that little fade away it's money.
Carr 5-7 fg, 2-3 deep, 1-1 FT for 13pts, only 2 rebs but 3 assist and 3 blocks. Only 1 TO in 30 mins.
We go as far as Carr will take us. Owehs gonna get his, but to me Carr is a top 3 piece.

And his defense was also excellent- those early blocks set the tone for us. If only he had been healthy this season, and I do not think that he is more than 75% now.
He didn’t have any trouble dunking at the end of the game, after missing multiple bunnies trying to lay them in. He has to play stronger it’s been going on all year.
I'm not laughing at all ! I agree 100%.
I'll also take this opportunity to say ... I don't think RR, generally, is giving Noah and Perry as much love as they need - and deserve. They came into an unusual situation with eight upperclassmen on the roster ! Both Trent and Travis seemed to me, often, to be unduly deferring to their older and more experienced teammates. I think both Noah and Perry played credibly the whole season.
Just MHO, of course.
... And, whether or not ... Go 'Cats ! ! !I received a text from a friend who was at the game, who doesn't really like UK, that said, "It's officially over with the Garrison 3!" That shot put us up 20 and there was no way we were going to lose even with Troy staging a major rally at that point.
Sorry but that is overly harsh and uncalled for. I agreed with the announcer to said that Pope needs to show him the film and talk about slamming it home like he did late in the game. Other than those shots, he played quite well.
Sorry if it was so harsh that it offended you and you feel was uncalled for🙄. Amari played weak all night except for a few plays where he showed what he is truly capable of. He’s done it all year. He reminds me of Poythress in many ways. He shows flashes of being a beast, and has been our best player a lot of the season. But then he will have a game or stretches within a game where he seems disengaged and it seems as if he’s not giving 100%. I’d feel safe in saying if you go back and watch the game again he left 8-10 points on the table missing point blank shots and free throws. That loses the game against anyone better than Troy.
