Kentucky vs A&M
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
They threw up a lot of bricks tonight. No way they shoot like they did the first time we played.
We should win and cover. I want an SEC championship…But ultimately I just want to stay healthy for the final 6 games
I'm expecting us to be a little tentative at first as A&M will be riding the emotion and energy of their win over Ole Miss. It'll be competitive a good chunk of the first half. We come outta halftime at warp speed and run them ragged.
Or the could beat us. Or we could blow them out from the beginning.

So can Kentucky! I don't need to look at their schedule to tell you why they will be facing a much better Kentucky team this time around. They have more to lose than UK.

They're a dangerous team
If we can't beat A&M by double digits after the way they EMBARRASSED us earlier this year, you might as well forget about a deep run in the Big Dance.
Yes they do. They've already beaten us and they need this game worse. Better bring our A game.
Radford and Taylor will give us fits but our whole offense will give them fits. I like UK to cover.
Needed overtime on their home court to do it and Big Z is available this time around. Already a game with tired legs. I'm taking the Cats. A&M won in 2016 down there and lost to Kentucky in the SEC Tournament Championship that year. Expecting another similar outcome for the Aggies in the SEC Tournament.
It was an attempt at a joke. But honestly you really do need to cover all bases cause you never know what version of Kentucky you're about to see. But we're getting more and more consistent.
They won't shoot like they did last time.
I feel pain coming. Cats by 20. Time to make a statement and start scaring the drawers off of the NCAAT field.

A win and they stamp their ncaa spot. Cal has said he dosen't care. You think the kids don't mirror their coach?
These kids don't mirror this coach. Reed, Reeves and Dillingham aren't going to roll the F over this weekend.
Whatever man, be scared. This is a waste of time and no sense arguing over something that may or may not come to fruition. One minute it's about A&M being able to play with anybody, to now Cal and the players don't care. Cal has literally made the same statement since year one here yet won 6 of these damn SEC Tournaments. May as well not watch if you think you know what the outcome is already going to be. Not going to stoop to anyone's level that wants to ruin my optimism around this team.

That GET BACK is a MF'er!!!
Buzz and his clown show will be wanting his usual soft whistle for his paint by numbers like bull**** lack of offensive skill but a loose whistle so he can foul/hack on the defensive end. Biggest d-head in the conference.
Send this MF'er home.

Same. Had we beat them already, I'd be a little worried we come out flat. I think the coaching staff is reminding them what they did to us and how they beat us, as motivation.
It will be interesting to see how we shoot after almost a week off, and in a larger venue. That's my only worry here.. coming in cold.
Curly knows what awaits them, their players not so much, hustle and luck can only get you so far. This is another chance to avenge a loss to a team we should have beaten earlier, they will be just as desperate, so we have to be ready to play.
I took A&M in the prediction contest. Could see us coming out flat and not focused on defense. I hope I’m wrong tho
Based on previous matchup and last night's game, I'd expect to see a decent amount (if not A LOT) of zone defense from A&M tonight. Our guys can cook vs M2M and some iso-situations, but a little less proven against the zone, especially a matchup one like A&M.
Obviously we have some guys that can stretch the floor, and we'll need them on the floor together, and we'll need Adou and our bigs attacking the offensive glass. Look for A&M to slow the pace a little bit and use the zone to execute that and to keep the Cats out of transition
They drove the ball and had a lot of close basket scores. If we have learned to defend the paint, it will be fine. I like that we are playing them because this has been our defensive weakness all season against good guards. In fact, it killed us last season too against St. Peters. I guess it is Cal's design to have the paint protector. But, do we have that now? Ugo has been great in several games and not so in others with that defense. We need this practice and so a good team for us to face.
My thoughts as well. I'd rather play a team that barely beat us in OT than a team we rolled by double digits. This team plays better with a chip on their shoulder it seems.
The longer the Cats let them hang around, the longer they will.
If Kentucky can pull away some in the second half, A&M will lose heart and the fight go out of them.

Not trying to ruin your optimism friend, but just trying to warn you to not think UK wins this game in a blowout. I think UK can/will most certainly win, but this isn't going an Alabama type game. #GOCATS!
Expect a very physical game. A&M literally man-handled Ole Miss last night. In one scrum two Aggies surrounded/trapped an Ole Miss player, and druing that, one of the A&M guys grabbed OMiss player around his waist and pulled him backward, causing him to fall/travel...can you guess what was called????
Kentucky needs to bring their A game today. TAMU playing for an NCAA berth and unafraid. Just as UT is finding out, there are no guarantees in this tournament. You either play your heart out or go home…
