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

[FitchandMurray29]

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

I’m the farthest thing from a KY boy homer but the thought of Noah passing Chandler in the rotation has to creep into Pope’s mind.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Perry is a work in progress

He doesn't have the same arc as Noah.

 

[JFCats22]

Colgate has yet to take a FT….not sure I’ve ever seen that

 

[ManitouDan]

Remember Mike Scott, 7ft could barely dunk

While Mike was no high flyer he dunked with ease .. best I recall he had a game high 4 in one game . And started at the 5 for Wake Forest as a freshman with decent numbers .. ( HS teammate)

 

[B.B.H.]

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?

Really hope that happens.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

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..

Calipari was fascinating wasn't he? He claimed he didn't want to steal players' hearts, but then he'd routinely bench guys like Bryce Hopkins after positive season-changing performances.

 

[Digger-Cat]

We have no PG, pretenders don’t beat 2 top 5 caliber teams. We have got to stop over reacting every bad stretch of play. It happens.

I'm not overreacting, I said It is possible that we are a pretender and I also said I hope we are really for real and you cant deny that our shooting and getting to loose balls is concerning. It just is.

Now, if our shooting gets hack to even par, we will blow good teams out, but it is disturbingly bad right now.

 

[howercat]

Nice D

 

[bbncal02]

Yes, good D!

They’ll make strides. Was hoping to see some of Chandler tonight

 

[fatguy87]

Lot's of derision directed towards Williams tonight.

He has 15 points on 6-8 shooting and only 1 turnover. It has been his best game this season.

 

[bbncal02]

And an immediate TO. Come on now!

 

[fatguy87]

Colgate took their first FT of the game with 4 minutes and 42 seconds left in the game.

 

[ukjenning44]

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

Remnants of the stench left by the prior regime!

 

[darkshadesofblue]

I actually like that foul by Garrison

 

[catben]

Can't keep shooting so horribly during long stretches of games. And it's not just 3's, but layups also. Poor Oweh misses way too many from everywhere on the floor. then you have Williams and Garrison being a blackhole when the ball enters the Post. Thanks goodness Koby can light it up at any time.

Heck, even Robinson has missed WIDE OPEN looks tonight. What's the deal with our shooting in Rupp????

 

[Seth_C]

Jaxson is playing lazy. Lazy lazy.

Then he dunked on me.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Carr doesn’t seem to be looking for the outside shot lately.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I now expect Robinson to miss 3s more than make them now. Legit have lost confidence in him making these shots

 

[pauled]

We don’t need fade away corner threes right now!

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Seems like Jaxson Robinson hasn't made a corner three in five or six straight games.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Jaxson Robinson is now 2-10 from 3 with so many good looks. We need him to be way better if we’re going to make a deep run

Just too many missed layups..

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Too much sleep walking tonight

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Brea abused again

 

[ala_kat2]

What the hell, Robinson? Twice you’ve just given the ball to the other team with no recognition of the situation. Pay attention! If I were coach. you’d be on the bench for a couple minutes for that lackadaisical effort.

 

[NociHTTP]

I’m the farthest thing from a KY boy homer but the thought of Noah passing Chandler in the rotation has to creep into Pope’s mind.

I'd be okay with it. Noah's defense is better, he's a better outside threat.

 

[howercat]

Jax!!! Garrison!!

 

[Fox2monk]

Good pass 00

Chandler and Perry are nowhere near ready for high level basketball. Noah can atleast in theory offer you something

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

71

 

[the nail at the foul line]

How did that little guard get the rebound over Garrison

 

[catben]

Just too many missed layups..

.....and WIDE OPEN 3's from everyone but Brea!!!!

 

[bbncal02]

sloppy sloppy sloppy.

 

[J-Ryan]

Pass the ball garrison

 

[NociHTTP]

Selfish there, Brandon. BS. You had three guys waiting on the perimeter.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Garrisson you have 2 guys wide open, and you force up a bad shot because you get tunnel vision

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Garrison reminds me a very tall junior high kid who still doesn't know how to control his body on the basketball court.

 

[bbncal02]

HELL NO. THIS IS NOT A LAYUP CONTEST.

PATHETIC

 

[pauled]

Garrison is not gonna pass it out!
