***GAME THREAD - UK vs. Brown***

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Would like to see Noah get a few minutes here

I’d be shocked. Last time he played was Colgate when he came in early got a steal and hit a 3 and we gained some momentum. Hasn’t touched the floor since for whatever reason.

 

[sefus12]

Up to 14 and now back down to 9.

These games are the worst. No one really cares about them. Everyone is ready for the FL game.

NOTHING about this UK team the past three games shows me they are ready for Florida.

 

[Lempface]

This is pretty disappointing; Brown is obviously not very good, yet we still don't look like we have an identity on offense. Very little offensive movement leading to good shots. At this point I just want to see us get good shots regardless if they are going in. I have confidence if we can generate the open look we'll make em at a good clip, but the "open" part of the open look has been pretty rough the last month and a half.

 

[blackcat714]

Need Perry and Chandler back in Robinson bad defense and butler can’t make a layup

 

[Terrapin_Station]

I think everyone did. Pope at least starts the right players but some of his sub combos are "interesting" to say the least.

Amari Williams should not start.

And anyone who says we’d get killed on the boards with Carr at the 5 needs to looking at the box score right now. Already being killed on the boards with Garrison and Williams playing with Carr. 18-9!

 

[know1]

Rebounding has been a huge issue this game. I didn't see that coming.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Carr needs to be in the floor as much as possible.

 

[gracetoyou]

Whatever happened to driving WITH THE INTENTION to kick????? When you drive it shouldn't be "I'm scoring come hell or high water". We would be soooooo much better if we look to kick to guys more.

 

[ukjenning44]

I was hoping to see a harder playing more focused team after OSU smoked us.

 

[megablue]

Carr needs to finish a little stronger …

 

[rick64]

Geez Cats miss way too many close in shots.

 

[NociHTTP]

Brea looks like he's not engaged in the process.

 

[TheDude73]

Ref really didn't want to call that one because it mean 3 on their best big. Thankfully he did.

And then there's softy hands Williams who can't grab a rebound.

 

[TheDude73]

Butler blocked again. Pass the ball dude. He had three defenders all over him on that steal/drive.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

They recover on defense on a fast break quicker than we run a fast break.

 

[ala_kat2]

Butler needs to pass it sometimes. Brea for 3!

 

[NociHTTP]

Butler, STOP with the ball-hogging.

 

[Fox2monk]

Brea so pretty! Amari working on his FT’s.

 

[crawfords corner]

Brea for 3

WVU up 13 at KU at halftime 33-20

 

[TheDude73]

No one went after that hard missed three. It just flopped into our hands by chance.

We are absolutely horrible at rebounding. I don't think anyone here would disagree with that assessment.

 

[NociHTTP]

Getting outrebounded 19-10.

 

[CrazyCat74]

Amari looking like he's keeping that off hand on the release longer with his free throws.

Looks better

 

[NociHTTP]

Female announcer needs to shut up. The team has NOT bought into what Pope is demanding.

 

[know1]

If you hadn't watched this, you'd be pretty OK with us being up 16 at this point in the game.

 

[NociHTTP]

LOL, why did Kobe hesitate on that three?

 

[YankeeCpt]

these refs suck

 

[ala_kat2]

Butler’s offensive production has fallen off dramatically since the UL game, but he is playing good defense.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Too many errors when we have a chance to push the lead out

 

[ukfan041]

Butler has been brutal today! Not a good sign after OSU

 

[CondorCat]

Oweh not much of a factor so far...

 

[tmuck]

Amari got some damn butter fingers.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Anyone notice how Robinson is aggressive on offense until about the first tv timeout and then disappears the rest of the game.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

3 point shooting "better" so far n this one at 39%.

FT shooting is very good.

That's about all the positive I can bring to this one so far.

 

[Fox2monk]

Butler been stuffed twice in close.

We need to learn a pump fake.

 

[TheDude73]

OMG horrible rebounding effort. We are a rebounding joke.

 

[The_Answer1313]

No the fans aren't the ones playing. The players have the potential to be good of they play like they have something to prove rather than play like they've accomplished anything.

I think after the Duke and Gonzaga wins, UK fans thought this team was something they clearly are not.

Not that we can't have a good season, but people on this board thought we were competing with Auburn/UT. It's just not realistic to think this is a top SEC team. Finish somewhere towards the top? Maybe. Finish at the top? I just don't think that was ever happening here.

 

[jr40831]

ZZzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

.500 level SEC record looks realistic.

 

[NociHTTP]

LOL, Amari. Let someone BEHIND YOU rebound something that almost landed in front of you. Pathetic.

 

[ukjenning44]

Our rebounding is garbage
