*****Game Thread Gators vs Cats******

You guys go back and watch some of the adjustments Pope made from the OSU game. He punished Florida for overplaying everything with back door cuts. Which opened up some better looks from deep. That’s coaching.
 
I was really worried that their guards would play way above what they usually do, and they did, hit everything they threw up along with getting a favorable whistle every time the drove to the basket regardless if they were fouled or not, so proud of the way Kentucky played today.

Big win to start sec play.

Florida is one annoying team to play, glad we don’t have to go to Gainesville. They’d probably shoot 50 free throws.
 
Neither of these teams is physical enough nor play good enough D to win a title, IMO, but they are entertaining to watch. Great win for the Cats today!

18/24 from the FT line 75%. Big key today, ONLY 5 turnovers. Outrebounded by 8, 38-30, I would have guessed 15. UK can't shoot the ball any better than today. One of, if not the best games I have watched in a while. Both teams hit dagger after dagger.

Basically played out the way the stats said it would

UF is a beast on the boards and they were again today

We shoot it well and don't turn it over.

We NEVER get a home whistle thanks to Cal whining about every call the last 10 plus years. Hopefully Pope can turn that around.
 
Great win and tough fight for the Cats. Pope made some nice adjustments during the game and love seeing KY actually score on inbound plays. Great job Cats.
 
Chaz Lanier looking like vintage UConn Ray Allen right now in the Tennessee vs. Arkansas game.

Wish I would have won the mega millions last summer. I'd had bought the kid's services for $2 million.

Can you imagine that kid on this year's UK squad? Wow.
I know man, hurts losing that one he would have given us something we need during droughts.
 
Not to sound dramatic, but if UK lost today, any chance at the SEC title would be greatly diminished. A must win in this conference.

Huge win for the resume, and I'd argue probably one of the 6 or 7 toughest games we will have in SEC play (the rest likely being road games IMO)..

This win will really help if we happen have a slide somewhere.

So UF on the season rebounded 41% of their misses.

In this game ...........41.7%

It's funny how things tend to just play out to averages.
