******Game Thread JSU vs UK******

[bbncal02]

a couple of the baskets are just effort things. If Kentucky gets back or rotates normally Jackson state has 18 right now

I know. But want to see that more. Can't be caught snoozing on better teams. Got prove the Duke win isn't a fluke when we go to Seattle.

Garrison might just be our X-factor. He's clearly in-development as on offensive player, but if shows some consistency on that end to go with his defense he will make our offense that much more dangerous.

Next year I hope we keep him around, because he's going to be a force.

 

[gbl97]

Garrison from 20'1" is 0-5. Garrison from 20' is 2-2.

 

[Seth_C]

So you've never been so pumped about a game you listened to the post game call in show?? That says a lot, and exposes you for a fraud, frankly.

I mean, in the last decade or so I haven’t. Am I a fraud also?

 

[Supafuzz75]

Garrison is turning into a beast

Who was that retard in pre season games that kept saying Garrison was basically trash and wouldn't amount to anything this year?

 

[NociHTTP]

After seeing these comments I expected to log in and see a close game. We dropped 54 on them lmfao.

He called in his scripts this evening. He'll be back to normal tomorrow. We love ya bbncal02

That’s kind of what I thought
We let a few easy baskets happen
But I’ve noticed we tighten up on such things second half
Gotta give JSt credit for sure..playing their rears off

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I need another duke type game in my life. These extreme bye games can be hard to watch. When it’s sloppy I wanna be critical but at the same time I know it’s gotta be so hard for theee guys to be focused

Aren't you the genius who said UK would struggle this year?

Most UK fans love games like tonight because this is the type of game where everyone eats.

 

[kywildcat41035]

16 assists on 22 made shots

Most impressive stat right here!

 

[crawfords corner]

Cats on pace to cover and game to hit the over, 157.5 last I saw

The McMillan kid for them is a good player, I wouldn’t be surprised if some high major tries to get him to transfer up

I've never listened to a post game show since I started following UK back in the 80s..

 

[IowaMuse]

Brea needs many more minutes.

Otherwise, relax: Uk gonna win by 50. This isn’t Cal’s UK team

 

[kywildcat41035]

Aren't you the genius who said UK would struggle this year?

A real UK fan loves games like tonight.

Exactly we’re beating this team exactly the way we’re supposed to and like you said the REAL UK fans love it!

 

[maysvilleky]

The only thing I wonder about is whether there will be any discontent about playing time as the year goes on. Some of these guys were used to 30+ minutes.

 

[Bluegrass79]

Coming in we're holding teams to 23% from the 3.

Jackson state is 1 for 9 in the first half from the three. 11%

 

[crawfords corner]

He's definitely getting poached unless he just absolutely loves Mo Williams. You can do a lot worse as an NBA hopeful than to be coached by Mo Williams.

 

[NerlensCat]

I feel like that was the worse half of play so far this year and we are still up by 24. We are so spoiled right now😊

 

[know1]

I mean, in the last decade or so I haven’t. Am I a fraud also?

No. Because you haven't been insulting people who are actual fans.

 

[BassProCat]

😭😭😭😭

[Son_Of_Saul]

Kriisa already with five assists in this game.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Poor Jackson State. They haven't played a home game all season. This is their sixth road game.

 

[blue cincy]

Brea just needs to sit the bench. Missed a 3. He can never show his face again!.... Joking

This is a odd game. Jackson St actually playing hard and has not too much to show for it except exhaustion. UK just doing UK things. Jaxson Robinson is not happy with the shots not falling. I am sure he will be alright. Oweh is the man again. He gets us going most nights. Butler acts like a mongoose fighting a cobra. He is always looking to put the kill on the offense of the other team. Chandler came in mixing it up a bit. Good come in cold firing a 3 and hitting. GO BIG BLUE!!!

 

[NociHTTP]

They knew what they were getting into when they came to play for Pope. He doesn't play favorites or promise minutes.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Poor Jackson State. They haven't played a home game all season. This is their sixth road game.

Didn’t they say this was their 3rd in a row against a ranked team?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Once he gets pacing down, you can tell he will be a major problem. He is just going off of raw ability. But somebody is for sure offering him a bag to transfer

HYTCHE ISLAND... at this point, he knows he was wrong. He's a huge UK fan, but overreacted with BG's early struggles

 

[Bkocats]

Agreed. He’s special.

 

[Supafuzz75]

I found him,, hytchye-island poster,, lol.. Kept saying he wouldn't amount to crap this year..

I don't think any of us are Cal stressed levels atm. More, just, pointing out some rough spots.

I don't think any of us are worried about losing this one lol

 

[Bluegrass79]

14 blocks and steals combined for ol' Kentuck'

Jackson State has 4 combined.

 

[Supafuzz75]

HYTCHE ISLAND... at this point, he knows he was wrong. He's a huge UK fan, but overreacted with BG's early struggles

Yea I found him.. Poor soul 😂

 

[mrjuk]

Yes, can’t wait for some big competition. Also still enjoying the fact that we are not playing down to lesser teams level as in the past.

I needed that laugh.

I think it's just the competition. UK knows they can win this game by just out scoring them.

If there every comes a time to D up they will.

Nice work, bro!

Poor Jackson State. They haven't played a home game all season. This is their sixth road game.

They're probably quite happy to leave Jackson, Mississippi.

 

[IL Wildcat]

Game looks about like I expected so far. Jackson St made some shots they don't normally make, but UK's 3pt shooting has been really good. I kind of think Pope is gonna be irritated with our defense in the first half. We should break 100 but it will depend on what goals Pope is wanting to see the team meet. I also expect a 40+ point win if Pope wants it.
