Just went and looked and I think in my life I have seen the Cats lose about 280 times. That's about 4.7 games per year. I'm always surprised when we lose and today is no different. Show me another 59 year old that can say that about his team.

GO CATS!

 

[ymmot31]

Luckily this wont hurt our seeding since one of our key players is out with an injury. ....

haha, slow your Duke roll! Of all the teams that get that kind of consideration, I wish we were one. How far up will they move Mich. St. after their loss to...spit...Indiana?

 

[ymmot31]

yes, I knew you were joking.

Basketball Fundamentals 101

1. The basketball is very important.

1a. If you have the ball, try to keep it or score.

1b. If they have the ball, try to take it. don't let them score.

Wisdom.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

At least the steaks were good and the weather perfect today.

Regroup and move forward.

I thought the Cats would have given the Vols a better game but it is what it is. Maybe these young guys needed to be brought down a notch before post season. Success and hype can be a negative if you get complacent. Not saying this is the case. Trying to look on the bright side. Hey, Duke lost by 16 to UNC last week without their big guy so we're not alone. I'm still pumped up. The Cats are 1 of 10 teams that can win it all IMO. Not bad odds.

Well crap. For some reason unknown to me, Johnson looked like deer in headlights. Most every player threw the ball away, lost a pass, missed more shots than usual, and just played like freshman. Oh wait, they are. Just couldn't get it going and when we did, they would score too. When we did get a stop, we couldn't score. Good game film for teaching I suppose. Let's move right along. Close to tourney and dance. It will all work out. Cats. FCC.

I watch for many reasons. The struggles, the growth, the successes. The tribal comradery. These real time game dramas are just flipping fun. When healthy, victory for this young group is tween their ears. Games like today's loss are necessary to maintain our hate for the Creamsicles. I won't forget soon. Boys won't either. 2 weeks.

What’s going on, the D? We’re going to be OK, basketball-wise, right?

 

[ymmot31]

Probably. Gonna be a 2 seed now more than likely.

That’s probably what we deserve, to be honest. I don’t think we win today with Travis anyway. Good thing is that everyone else is flawed too.

 

[ymmot31]

Yeah, a 2 seed gives us a better shot at playing in Louisville. If Travis would have scored about 30 points today and got 20 rebounds he might have helped us win.

Perhaps but ignores synergy centered paradigm where 1+1+1+1+1>5.

We'll be fine. This is a year that the difference between a 1 seed and a 2 seed makes no difference.

Good Sunday morning D-League

The sun is shining and it is going to be good Lord's Day. Temperature pretty much the same as all week. Pool temperature a cool 85.

Well our Cats got a reality check yesterday. But much much much better teams have stumbled in Knoxville, TN. The Knoxville game was the only game the Rupp's Runts lost in the regular season. Having said that though it was the way we lost yesterday. A 20 point loss in March is of concern no matter who we are playing. We not only lost, we were disoriented and humiliated. Our lack of a point guard showed as did our toughness. Too many turnovers and just stupid play. But we have the excuse most teams do not have, freshmen. We can always say we are young. So

But that is behind now and UK fans always pick it up and move forward. We will be there when the morning comes. Trust all are feeling well and spirits high.

Make it a good day.

As I am going to fill my cup up again.

Good morning from Orlando. Currently 70°F. Expecting another 85°F day before another front moves in tomorrow.

Them doggone Vols kicked our butt. Ugly. I watched the entire game before heading to mom's viewing. Early foul trouble hurt us too. Horrible shooting. All around ugly outing.

Funeral today at 2 pm. I need to wash a suit.

Anyway, we will check back later. Y'all behave.

39.0°F here and overcast for the fourth day in a row. No ran just overcast.

Tennessee beat the shit out of the cats. It started with 8 minutes left in the first half. PJ gets his second foul and we were only two points down. The Vols build up the lead in those 8 minutes. We could never get it back in the second half.

Free throw did not go. Herro could not shoot. Travis on the bench. Second worst loss this year.

I think you may be understating what happened Bert.

IDK. I think Travis impacts the game with UT more than any other SEC team. They are so bulky on the inside that PJ gets into foul trouble early, and then he has to sit a large portion of the 1st half. That is when they built the lead. With Travis in to help battle, it gives us another body to match up with them. We were playing right with them until PJ went to the bench. When he came back we were down double digits in a very hostile environment. We weren't going to come back from that, like we did against Ark.

When we signed Reid Travis my thought was we now have a man who can match up with Williams and the Admiral. In our first game he proved his worth against them. Having him out for this game certainly hurt us. We may or may not have won with him but we had little chance without him. This game shows we need him to be 100% for the rest of the season. He was recruited to contribute what he does best.

This septic truck was spotted in the county where I live. The man understands.

38.5°F here and raining. We have already gotten 0.15 inches since I posted earlier.

Edited the Tennessee game and burned the bluray; however, I am not in the mood to watch it. I may wait until tomorrow.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

What has happened to some of our D-Leaguers from the past. For example I have not seen Ace On The River post here in a while. I trust those who have not posted for quite a while are OK. Just curious / concerned.

Agree, Sawnee. He showed his worth in the first game, and proved his worth by missing the second. Obviously, I want us to beat Ole Miss, but I would rather lose to Ole Miss without him, and get a 3 seed, than to enter the tournament without him. I want him to be 100% before he plays.

I wanted to burn my TV.

Got Dad out of the hospital today and back to the nursing home. He seemed to be doing really well and was in very good spirits.

He was not happy about the ball game though. Said he didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

21.4° F and still going down. It may be below 20 by the time the sun comes up. Yesterday we got some snow but it did not stick.

I am now scared of Ole Miss. It is like a trap game. I hope the boy come out mad as hell and takes it out on Ole Miss and especially Florida.

Good morning from Orlando. Currently 71°F. We might see 80°F before this next cold front blows through.

I'm "moving" today over to a cousin's place closer to downtown Orlando. Better situation over there.

Game tomorrow night against the Rebels at 9 pm on ESPN in Oxford. Hope we bounce back.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Good morning D League

Currently 72° High expected in low 80's°. The girl on the radio said we might get a cold front early this week that will bring the low to the 60's. Pool temperature a steady 85 degrees. Went over to the beach last night and enjoyed a beautiful, stunning sunset and a nice meal on the breezy Gulf Wife had to wear a jacket.

Well, Tennessee put it to us and showed we have a little more work to do. I agree with Bert, Ole Miss is not going to be a cake walk. They are tough and smell blood in the water on the Kentucky side. We are wounded but I still think we have a lot of fight.left in us. Go Cats

Lot's to do today so I will refill my coffee cup and face the working day.
