*****Game Thread UK vs UGA******

[FirewithFire]

These fans pre odd. Not even really into it with this lead.

And yes, these refs are clearly picking their place to call or no-call. No way a team plays this physical and doesn’t foul twice as much as their opponent.

Dude, if you're saying it, then I know the fix is in.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Life on the road in the SEC. Banked hail mary threes. Corrupt refs. Plus we’re off except for Butler. Don’t think we can overcome this tonight.

 

[Richard Cory]

Don't think it's in us tonight. Georgia is really punishing our mishaps and luck is going their way.

Their last 2 made 3's were a bank and a deep buzzer beater from a sub 30% shooter. They are perfect from the line.

Glass half full? All that and we are only down 13?

 

[LmdCat]

Would like to see Brea get most of Robinson’s minutes and see what happens.

He and Carr should be getting his 3-point shot attempts.

 

[Seth_C]

I agree, 12 ft's to 2 for UK, yet UGA looks like they are playing football at times.

It doesn't, usually the more physical team gets more fouls called on them, but right now UK could put an NBA all star team on the floor and still lose with these officials. Plus this color guy is horrible.

The color man either sucked someone’s **** or it’s nepotism (or both) because he is pure trash. Not good enough to do high school games.

 

[Midway Cat]

When this team moves the ball, it’s beautiful offense. When it turns into Iso ball This is what you get.

Hard to move the ball when the opposing team is allowed to be as physical as Georgia has been off and on the ball.

 

[Noahtogo24]

We all know what it is. This team has played Little to no defense. This team really only plays defense when it’s a top ranked team. Ohio State, no defense, George, no defense. Let’s see if this changes second half, but I doubt it.

To be fair, UK didn’t play top defense vs Florida.

 

[mcnicKY91]

Halftime thoughts...

1. This team will only go as far as Robinson and Williams go. They have been absolute no shows, and the score reflects that.

2. My concern when UK hired Pope was his ability to get his guys to defend. His offense was never going to be an issue. Thus far, Pope has massively failed in this regard.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I’m sticking with my 20-11 prediction. Tonight is a loss, Saturday on Starkville will be ugly, and then I just hope they win the home games and maybe find a way to get 2-3 road wins

 

[rick64]

You can't rely on your offense scoring 90+ to win. You've got to be able to defend.

 

[UKDC80]

Owen/JR combined for 2 points. That’s our problem!

 

[mdlUK.1]

47 points to a team that ole miss held to 51 last week in the whole FREAKING game

Banked in a 3. 12-12 FTs to our 2-3. Road whistle. Last 3 by a guy 8-28nfrom 3.

 

[TheBlueMist]

This feels like the Ohio State game.

Too bad Georgia isn't in the top 10. If so, we would be up.

 

[tomrain]

Even the pathetic announcers are bashing the refs!!!

 

[fatguy87]

Glass half full? All that and we are only down 13?

13 is a large margin for a half. We are on pace to lose by 26! lol

 

[shaudyshaud]

That and the banked 3

Anytime a banked 3 is made it’s not a good sign

 

[fisherscatfan]

Ok so UT scores 15 points in the half. So getting ass raped on the road in the SEC appears to be continuing UNLESS PLAYING AT RUPP. This is just ridiculous.

 

[KentuckyMildCats]

Robinson was our most prized transfer - he has been pretty bad for a while now last game he was fine but he lacks any type of passion. Perry looking more poised than him says a lot.

 

[TriCountyCat]

We need a 8-10 point run quick or it’s gonna be like Ohio State, 20+ point loss

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I’d love to have that Jaxon Robinson who showed up against Gonzaga tonight

 

[LmdCat]

The bigs ought to be ashamed of themselves, but I'm afraid Mark won't try and force them to get physical.

This is the only issue that I have with Mark. He doesn't seem to inspire his players to fight. Tonight, they are simply going through the motion.

 

[NociHTTP]

We all know what it is. This team has played Little to no defense. This team really only plays defense when it’s a top ranked team. Ohio State, no defense, George, no defense. Let’s see if this changes second half, but I doubt it.

It's a basketball makeup issue. If they don't fix this SOON, we could be looking at a first-round loss in the NCAA tourney. The lack of willingness to play a complete game on both ends of the court is going to bite them.

 

[FirewithFire]

The only way UK wins this one is if they catch on absolute fire from beyond the arc. If not they lose.

 

[ala_kat2]

Can we be 13 points better in the 2nd half? Gonna be hard to come back with the way we’re playing and all the foul trouble. Our Centers have given us very little and are getting punked.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Think we got a run in us here and this one comes down to the wire.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

At least we have more than 15 points

 

[TheWyldKat]

Life on the road in the SEC. Banked hail mary threes. Corrupt refs. Plus we’re off except for Butler. Don’t think we can overcome this tonight.

It all starts on the defensive end, which takes very little athleticism and mainly effort.

This team gives very little effort unless it’s a top rank team. It is what it is.

It’s awesome when we play a great team, but we were playing a good team. We will get smoked.

 

[IowaMuse]

This team will win some home games but will struggle to win on the road in the SEC. Just not nearly physical enough or capable of playing good D for any stretch.

Problem is this conference is going to affect UKs seed. Hard to imagine better non-conf wins yet this team could still end up with a 4-6 seed.

 

[JFCats22]

You just have to accept that winning on the road against ANY Sec team is going to be incredibly hard . They’ll have more losses than wins on the road . I’m hoping for 4-5 on the road. And 7-8 wins at home

0% chance this team is winning 4-5 road games. Especially if they lose this one to a bottom 5 SEC team

 

[fisherscatfan]

Robinson needs to grow a pair of nuts. He is killing this team. His body language and effort is atrocious in this game.

It really makes you wonder what went on with Mussleman at Arkansas.

 

[Usmcincy]

I’d love to have that Jaxon Robinson who showed up against Gonzaga tonight

We’re not getting him again this season

 

[catlogic15]

Three bigs. Three softies.

 

[Farsight]

We all know what it is. This team has played Little to no defense. This team really only plays defense when it’s a top ranked team. Ohio State, no defense, George, no defense. Let’s see if this changes second half, but I doubt it.

Correct.

The way I look at officiating is salt in our own wound to make fester.

 

[YardCat]

Would like to see Brea get most of Robinson’s minutes and see what happens.

Would Pope be taking Robinson’s heart?

 

[Digger-Cat]

We're not going to be allowed to play bully ball in the paint, we need to either cut, or shoot threes, what we're doing now isn't working. One team is allowed to hack, the other gets called for breathing.

 

[JFCats22]

Georgia scored 51 points against Ole Miss, in the entire freaking game!!!!

 

[MonsterMash79]

Robinson.... 0 points

Dudes a joke. He doesn’t wanna be at UK

 

[catsfan325]

Gonna have to bring 3-4 transfers to bring physicality and experience to compete in SEC . Oweh is only tough one we've got penciled in for 25-26. Freshman class will be skinny and finesse.

 

[LmdCat]

Fans giving up is also saf

Nobody is giving up. We are simply calling out what we see. You act as if comments on this board are causing lackluster play instead of lackluster play causing comments.

 

[TheWyldKat]

It's a basketball makeup issue. If they don't fix this SOON, we could be looking at a first-round loss in the NCAA tourney. The lack of willingness to play a complete game on both ends of the court is going to bite them.

Yes!! Totally agree. I just said this and a previous post. The team only gives effort when it’s against a top ranked team. Other teams, it looks like they play half speed on defense.


Also not sharing the ball. Offense looks almost as bad as a defense.

Embarrassing.

Just want to team that fights and plays hard.
