******Game Thread Colgate vs UK*******

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Definitely better ball movement this half as well as quicker closeouts

 

[Basscat1987]

I am not exaggerating when I say that Williams has the least desire to get the ball of any player I've ever seen.

Until 5 min to go in a close game. Then he turns into an all American. That’s why I’m not a fan of him most nights

 

[JFCats22]

Picking it up

 

[truckbrandon]

Amari appears to give half effort every game. It's really hard to watch. Is he just slow to react, or is he not trying?

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Screw Colgate. I ain't never brushing my tooth again.😡😤

Hard to beat this.

 

[wccat2969]

IMO, Williams. He seems to avoid contact. Garrison is just slow, but makes the effort to draw the and-1.

I agree. At least Garrison plays with energy. At time Williams just seems lazy.

 

[ala_kat2]

Credit to Noah he has given some decent mins tonight

At least HE is playing good defense. We’ve had some guys tonight take the night off on defense for the first 25 minutes.
And it’s a damn good thing Brea is a deadeye shooter from 3 because his D is lacking.

 

[NociHTTP]

Credit to Noah he has given some decent mins tonight

Constantly has his hands up in the face of the shooter, some of our other guys could sit and watch his effort.

 

[gbl97]

Williams has his feet in mud. The ball can be 3 feet from him and he can't get there.

 

[Fox2monk]

woof.

We may do it. This is gonna be one of those games, someone will check the final score and go "What was everyone worried about?"

"Man, you had to be there....."

I hope so. We just looked lazy most game. Lots of better defense and offense lately. Keep it up.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

Williams came in and was immediately WAY too involved on the offense. Bad passes. Lazy passes. Careless ball handling. Unfortunately the other option is Garrison and you can’t even pass him the ball or it will result in a guaranteed missed layup.

I’m a big fan of neither Williams nor Garrison starting.

Butler
Robinson
Oweh
Brea
Carr

Will Pope ever try it? Probably not.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

When butler comes back, based off tonight give Noah the 5 mins of break time for the starters. He atleast has the size and can shoot it

 

[howercat]

These guys look like whipped pups. Some posters might get upset by my comments, but the truth hurts. They are playing like hot garbage tonight.

I think they are mentally fatigued. Finally turned it on on the 2nd half. Couple of weeks with no midweek game should get them rested.

 

[SophiesDad]

Half the time when Williams is out there it’s like he has other shit on his mind and not the game

 

[blackcat714]

Noah playing much better than Perry.

Better than Chandler also

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Williams isn't lazy he is just Slooooow

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Remember Mike Scott, 7ft could barely dunk

But he had soft paws, Cawood

 

[blackcat714]

Gotta hand it to Trent Noah. No fear.

No bad defense either

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

A simple jab step nearly sent Williams into the stands, man Kentucky is lucky Colgate sucks

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Okay they’re cresting again. I feel better

 

[howercat]

Carr, nice move

 

[NociHTTP]

Just huge when Carr is in there.

 

[howercat]

There's that dunk by Williams!

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Noah much better player than Perry right now

 

[bbncal02]

Get out of his Oweh!

 

[Kerry Kat]

Nice reverse

 

[Fox2monk]

Oweh makes his hardest layup lol.

 

[wccat2969]

Wow Williams went straight up and quickly

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Suhwheet move

 

[Fox2monk]

Half the time when Williams is out there it’s like he has other shit on his mind and not the game

Yeah that’s my biggest issue with him.

 

[JustBlue]

Quickest game ever... 3 foul in the 2nd half

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Perry is a work in progress

 

[SophiesDad]

Everyone had Evansville in the back of their mind a little while ago

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

At the start of the season, I wrote that UK would average 84 to 85 points per game on the season.

I still think that's the case.

This team will shoot a healthy percentage from three in SEC play, but I think a ton of teams will try to play us the way Clemson did.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Colgate has 1 basket in around 8 minutes.
This game is over.
I want a 25 point win headed into the big game Sat.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

When does Camp Cal begin? <eyeroll>

 

[NoDef]

I like how coach Pope doesn't kill confidence. Noah comes in and hits a three. Perry has been cold. The game is hand and he brings Perry back in. You develop players this way..

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Perry is a work in progress

He, Chandler, and Noah might be our first full trio of four-year players since the Tubby Smith era.

The last duo we had of full four-year guys was Hawkins and Willis, right?

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Shot clock violation should NEVER happen against Colgate

When you have two pgs out its understandable.

 

[Richard Cory]

No bad defense either

Yeah I think he is my MVP tonight, hit a shot and hustled when we needed it.
