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

[Catzman]

Suck it, Desantis

As someone who lives in Florida now-DeSantis is great! Hate gators, but love DeSantis!!

 

[BBNinSC]

I’ve always heard that teams are a reflection of the head coach. Kentucky is the smartest team in college basketball.

 

[flacat22]

My good man, please, just once, enjoy the spoils of the win and look at the positive.

He’s incapable, he’s a troll. Is he not in your spreadsheet/running doc of trolls?

 

[Mash 2.4]

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.

 

[katwest]

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.

 

[NociHTTP]

Helluva win! LFG

It sure was.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Brea career game saved us. We got whipped on defense and crushed on the boards. Officiating was absolutely awful too. We pulled it off somehow!

Did Clayton go off? Defense and rebounding were my concerns coming in to the game

 

[WeWant9]

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.

 

[Fox2monk]

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!

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

Those wins will pay dividends all year alone. Our resume is already shaped up pretty good for most teams end of the year.

Absolutely. And we have even more opportunities against top teams to come.

 

[Fox2monk]

Did Clayton go off? Defense and rebounding were my concerns coming in to the game

still needs work according to the thread, haven’t watched yet but we do everything else well enough to win.

The politics were ESPN making no mention of DeSantis at court side. It was an accident that he appeared briefly on camera.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Now that he is gone, is it ok to say Big Z is a goofy looking mfer?

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

huge win!

 

[Pelosigalore]

Our rebounding and defense are so bad. That's half the problem.

True, but the offense from both sides was phenomenal

 

[The_Answer1313]

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.

 

[65pacecar]

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.

 

[BlueEmpire]

Iowa fan, figures. Hopefully in a year and a half we’ll be able to give him Stoops

 

[kennyskywalker34]

REAL BBN FANS STEP UP AND PUT THIS OP CLOWN ON IGNORE.
IGNORE HIM HE WILL GO AWAY. HE IS ONLY HERE TO GET REACTIONS.
SOMEONE ELSE START THE NEXT GAME THREAD.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

We beat a very good team and also very poor officiating.

 

[gharding07]

Did Clayton go off? Defense and rebounding were my concerns coming in to the game

Of course he did. Always does.

 

[Fox2monk]

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.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

He’s incapable, he’s a troll. Is he not in your spreadsheet/running doc of trolls?

No, but he's on my list of "fans who are literally never happy."

That list consists of only one fan: him.

 

[fisherscatfan]

We NEVER get a home whistle thanks to Cal whining about every call the last 10 plus years. Hopefully Pope can turn that around.

Watching the UT game and I have already seen 4 non calls on UT that 100% would have been called on UK today.

 

[NociHTTP]

Coach that likes to stalk and send dix pics

Don't misunderstand me. How he is as a person is different than the basketball person.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

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.

 

[Fox2monk]

Of course he did. Always does.

Maybe we should see if he will transfer here next year, he loves Rupp.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Watching this alternative universe UK team in Arkansas jerseys and thinking...this team loses to UF today by 15.

 

[BlueEmpire]

Don't misunderstand me. How he is as a person is different than the basketball person.

Well, as it is said, sports doesn’t develop character, it amplifies the character you already have.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

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.

Did long ago. My threads are nice and tidy.

 

[The_Answer1313]

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.

 

[Fox2monk]

True, but the offense from both sides was phenomenal

No surprise they have a great offense and have the last couple years under Golden.

 

[The_Answer1313]

UF shot 81% from 2. 21 of 26..........and lost the game lol.

 

[ManitouDan]

Now that he is gone, is it ok to say Big Z is a goofy looking mfer?

Goofy or not — he comes in the game and immediately blocks 2 shots and alters a 3rd , and of course Cal takes him out .

 

[ManitouDan]

And still hasn’t reinserted him … sad

 

[flacat22]

Barnes still owning Cal.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Goofy or not — he comes in the game and immediately blocks 2 shots and alters a 3rd , and of course Cal takes him out .

Love the Cal sub patterns!

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

still needs work according to the thread, haven’t watched yet but we do everything else well enough to win.

A win against a top 6 team no matter how you get it is always great
