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

[Dontworryboutit23]

Since I’m delusional, cats win by 5 Saturday in Starkville

 

[Roe07]

Got our asses handed to us tonight by an average team. Disappointing effort for sure.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Florida comes to Rupp and give total effort and barley loses a shootout

Then beats tenn

Uk gets embarrassed and it’s Because they didn’t even guard

Puke

 

[megablue]

I understand that you are not going to win them all. But, when you lose to a lesser opponent because you didn't have enough heart to fight, there isn't much to say. I don't think this team has a single NBA prospect on it.

A legit #6 does not lose to Georgia.
We’re a decent team, but not #6.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Geeze every play go to the monitor.

 

[catben]

Hey Garrison, QUIT trying to be a PG and STOP and PASS the ball when you steal it!!!!!!!!!

 

[FitchandMurray29]

These refs get paid by the hour apparently

 

[fatguy87]

Why would Garrsion even try to dribble there? Does he think he's Wemby?

 

[BluestBlood]

Here come the late fouls on UGA to make this seem daily called.

 

[Girthang]

The GEORGIA GUY who fouled Oweh FLOPPED AFTERWARD!

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

You guys that say the team doesn’t care are funny.

 

[TheWyldKat]

I had to miss the game. What is up with J Robinson tonight, lack of shot attempts

Gave no effort

Didn’t try

Played iso ball

Didn’t share the ball

 

[billoliver40]

Bad night. This team doesn’t respond well on the front line to physical play. Yes, the officiating is about as bad as any I can recall, but you can’t have you’re forwards and center not returning physical for physical.

To be honest after the fight against Duke and the Zags these lapses are bewildering.

 

[HagginHall1999]

Pope gonna slam table at end of game and clamor that he should have done a shootaround today.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

These refs continue to ruin pace of game with all the fouls and monitor looks

 

[Fadhi]

checking the monitors 6 times in a game is lame if this is now how basketball is

 

[Fox2monk]

FT’s are the story of the game. Just ridiculous officiating honestly. Yes we didn’t play well but come on.

 

[HenryMuto]

Is that the 10th review tonight so far ?

 

[HagginHall1999]

These refs continue to ruin pace of game with all the fouls and monitor looks

This game has been on for 2.5 hours

 

[fisherscatfan]

I had to miss the game. What is up with J Robinson tonight, lack of shot attempts

The game was tough and physical so he disappeared again.

 

[oldsports_]

This has to be a record

 

[wccat2969]

Oh J Rob missed the game too but so did Williams and Carr. They didn't show up either. GA punched UK in the mouth and UK backed down just like OSU and Clemson. The MO of UK.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

checking the monitors 6 times in a game is lame if this is now how basketball is

This just really gives you insight on the crew we’ve had to endure. They suck tremendously.

 

[HenryMuto]

Welp this game sucked

 

[CrimsonCats]

I had to miss the game. What is up with J Robinson tonight, lack of shot attempts

He missed a couple of open 3s early, then had another one of his games where he became really passive and disappeared.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

The game was tough and physical so he disappeared again.

This is a trend. The guy obviously hates any contact at all and withers at the first sign of it.

 

[ukcatz12]

A legit #6 does not lose to Georgia.
We’re a decent team, but not #6.

You can point to multiple losses on almost every top 10 team's resume every year and say "a legit top 10 team doesn't lose to X". This stuff just happens in modern day college basketball.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I understand that you are not going to win them all. But, when you lose to a lesser opponent because you didn't have enough heart to fight, there isn't much to say. I don't think this team has a single NBA prospect on it.

Oweh is the only one I can see an argument for as a Lu dort type of guy. But his shooting has to get significantly better for that to happen.

 

[LmdCat]

A legit #6 does not lose to Georgia.
We’re a decent team, but not #6.

Georgia has more talent than Kentucky. We don't have a single big capable of matching up with Georgia. Our bigs play below the rim while Georgia bigs are playing well above the rim. Several times our bigs caught the ball under the rim on cuts and passed the ball back out. We were totally intimidated under the basket.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

35 freaking FT’s

 

[HagginHall1999]

35 free throws...what a joke

 

[catben]

And of course Oweh misses BOTH Free Throws.

When it rains it pours for this bunch, win or lose.

They are ALL or NONE. Not real good when the tournament comes.

 

[Basscat1987]

We have some players that make some really stupid plays. It’s hard for me to criticize garrison bc he’s been our best big tonight but that guy has zero basketball IQ.

 

[WeWant9]

Cut it down to 5 and then made dumb play after dumb play.

 

[Ballin4nine]

Pope needs to jump some ass instead of being the nice coach.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Pope asking for a review lol.

Please end this LOL

 

[transpac]

I’m usually one to point out that a perfectly even number of fouls and free throws isn’t necessarily the mark of a fairly officiated game, but free throws being 33-9 in favor of the team who’s been over the top physical all night is one of the more absurd stat lines I’ve seen in some time. We may still be somewhat soft, but it’s hard to match their physicality when the standards of allowable contact are so different for each team.

Maybe we need a rule that sets a limit on foul disparity?

 

[TheDude73]

35 free throws. 35!!

WTF? We aren’t the physical team. How is it that every time we face a supposed “physical” team, they foul less??? How is that possible?

 

[catben]

The ref that made that out of bounds call needs to be investigated!!!!

That was HORRIBLE!!!!!

 

[Digger-Cat]

We can't even make it respectable. Missed two free throws and an easy layup. We're just bound and determined to pour salt on pur own wounds.

Our defensive efficiency rating WAS 90, it's about to get worse. Shit, so is our Offensive rating. This is such a crap effort. Disappointing.
