Best basketball of the season easily.

Already dreading the stall ball 2H, as we immediately saw a few times when our lead maxed out the first time.

But man, this is refreshing. Mintz shot looks soooooooo easy right now. Like he’s playing at the YMCA

Plays like that backcourt give away is what will keep this team out of the tournament.

They’ll be 80 fouls called next half

Keion gets the shittiest whistle ever

Jackson taking fukson to school off the drive is my favorite play of the year.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Well that was a fun half.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Ok Cal, you've seen in plain sight what worked in that half. Don't F it up!

 

[Ron Mehico]

That was a high quality basketball team half. Hell of a turnaround from 50 point games beginning of the year. Let’s get one complete game here.

 

[fatguy87]

I predict we will try to set the tone and assert dominance early in the second half running a Sarr post up play in the first few possessions.

 

[cawoodsct]

Even Askew driving for a layup with 30 seconds left in the half and not milking the clock is a step forward.
Go play to win, be aggressive. Shoot 90% of your shots with more than 10 seconds left on the shot clock. This is the way Cal’s teams used to play at Memphis and his first few years here.

 

[BristolCat]

Tell Cal to stay in the locker room so he can't pump the brakes. These horses finally want to run. Suck our 13-loss-havin' nuts, rocky top.

My Sparty Chumps worked BEAUTIFULLY on my +6.5

 

[cawoodsct]

No way you watch this just once.

Plays like that backcourt give away is what will keep this team out of the tournament.

You’re an idiot.

 

[krazykats]

First time I’ve seen replay of that Nova 3 for the championship since it happened, what 3/4 seasons ago?

Meanwhile I know I’ve seen Christian Laettner’s shot against us at least 20 times since then.

That 3 was magic!

 

[cawoodsct]

Sarr is such a pussy

 

[buckethead1978]

Lost opportunities in transition are going to cost the cats

 

[UK_Dallas]

You’re an idiot.

For thinking this team has the talent to go on a run and make the tourney or that stupid plays will hurt them?

 

[ukwizard]

Jackson getting man rebounds today.

 

[BristolCat]

Probably still time to hammer that UT under 16 line.

 

[cawoodsct]

Lefty hook by Sarr was sweet

 

[legalbeagle123]

Don't. Let. Up.

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Keep the pedal down. Don’t blow this shit today.

 

[UK ALUM10]

Laid 2H Tennessee -7, gladly buying this win.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Clockwork

 

[cawoodsct]

No blood in the second half with 6 plus left. Gladly take that. Finish this thing off in style, boys.

 

[ukwizard]

As usual our shot selection has been trash this half.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Finish at the rim guys. Leaving too many points out there.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Why are we taking 17 foot jumpshots?

 

[Hankshaker]

Why are we taking 17 foot jumpshots?

Team identity.

 

[Ron Mehico]

For how terrible our offense has been this half our defense has been amazing.

 

[BristolCat]

I'd love to see our first half shot chart vs. the 2nd half. We were 3s and layups in the first half. When we strayed from that we were pretty damn lucky and made a lot of them anyway. But this half has been lazy jump shots all the way. Luckily UT doesn't seem to be able to do much about it because we've played pretty good defense here. Lot of improvement to like thus far, but our offensive coaching is still a work in progress.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Eat a big ole sack o' dicks Tennessee!

 

[PTI (pti)]

I’d like to see Fulkerson cry at some point.

 

[fatguy87]

Why are we taking 17 foot jumpshots?

Because, for whatever reason, Cal thinks shooting 3's are riskier.

We're 1-3 in the half from 3. Our second half game plan wasn't a mystery. We were going to make the court small and grind it out. Our defense has pitched a shutout, allowing us to extend the lead in spite of our horrendous shooting.

 

[krazykats]

First game going overly big had its impact. Johnson, Pons and ****erson doing absolutely nothing in the post.

Toppin really coming into his own the past few games. Defense, rebounding and mid range. Solid.

 

[Blue63Madison]

This is a Final Four team. Yep, I said it.

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

SMD, Vols

 

[BristolCat]

Askew's running a clinic on denying the ball in the post to a bigger guard. Working his ass off down there.
