********** KENTUCKY VS ARKANSAS GAME THREAD*****

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

The homer announcer is literally cracking me up rn

 

[The_Answer1313]

MVP of this game............our Free Throw Shooting

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

We are killing the clock way too soon

Agree. Makes me nervous.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

2 things

1. John robic has great hair. Head and shoulders needs to call him
2 who is number 1 for kentucky?

Robic based his hair on the gormley doo.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

dusty Hannah's has 20 pts and 20 porn movies

 

[JFCats22]

Cats can't play any D at all all of a sudden.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Cats can't play any D at all all of a sudden.

Cause Alex and Lee aren't in there lol

 

[FishersBlue]

Cal with a good lead is a bit scary.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Come on guys...keep it going.

 

[JFCats22]

You get a foul, you get a foul, you get a foul.....everyone gets a foul!!!!!!

 

[crawfords corner]

Game up to 42 fouls. Cal was right about going to football pads

 

[FishersBlue]

Murray missed Willis! Think man!

 

[zannmann]

Got the lead with under 5 to go. Cal slow down the offense time.

 

[JeffGoodmansVestigialTwin]

Sometimes it would be good if Skal just give it a rest. Darn he just grinds and grinds and grinds. At some point I think they simply ignore him.

The hell are you talking about?

 

[The_Answer1313]

Least they are calling fouls both ways. Arkansas can't come back like this lol

 

[ZenCatFan73]

UK's guards taking over. Ulis and Murray have come alive in this half. WIllis and Skal getting it done. Keep it up Cats!!

 

[LmdCat]

All Murray had to do was give the ball back to Willis in the corner for an open 3, WOW. Murray seems to be on a mission to get his 17 plus points.

 

[kats23]

Cats can't play any D at all all of a sudden.

the tight whistle in the 2nd half prob the reason behind that

 

[zannmann]

If we could shoot we would be up 30. Guards are 10-32

 

[The_Answer1313]

All Murray had to do was give the ball back to Willis in the corner for an open 3, WOW. Murray seems to be on a mission to get his 17 plus points.

He was doubled teamed and ended up drawing the foul anyways.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

People on here always amuse me. The other team is trying too. Just because they get some home court momentum and cut into the lead does not mean we are falling apart or Cal can't coach with the lead.

This game has been pretty much in hand from the moment I started watching it (tuned in when it was 18-9) and has never been in doubt since with them briefly cutting it to 5 and then UK exploding to a 12 point halftime lead.

 

[kyjeff1]

ok, correct me if I'm wrong - and that's fine, I'm often wrong - but didn't the Arky guy trip and fall into Skal? But Skal got called for the foul?

I can't stand that call almost as much as the one where the guard with the ball jumps sideways into the defender and the defender gets the foul. Blows my mind.

 

[sefus12]

Murray missed Willis! Think man!

I'm 100% convinced he simply doesn't like Willis. Will not pass to that guy not matter how open he is. Willis could have had about four easy dunks tonight on cuts/in transition if Murray or Briscoe would simply pass it to him.

 

[crawfords corner]

Haven't even gotten the snow yet and the Virginia game and Syracuse game have been moved already

This is going to be a doozy.

To all my fellow BBN brethren, Please be safe this out there this weekend.

 

[EnglandWildcat]

Murray is a really good rebounder. Don't know how many he has tonight, but I've seen him come down with several and he does so with authority.

 

[KyFord]

If they called all the push offs on Arkansas this would be a 30 point blowout

 

[CatDaddy4daWin]

FT shooting looking good tonight. Really solid game from everyone.

 

[crawfords corner]

Murray has come alive the 2nd half, but he is definitely in a "get mine" mode.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Ulis has 12 points since halftime and Murray has 10.

 

[crawfords corner]

Damn slick floor

 

[ZenCatFan73]

Murray is a really good rebounder. Don't know how many he has tonight, but I've seen him come down with several and he does so with authority.

He's got 7 boards and 17 points.

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan]

Murray is in gunner mode.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

I'm 100% convinced he simply doesn't like Willis. Will not pass to that guy not matter how open he is. Willis could have had about four easy dunks tonight on cuts/in transition if Murray or Briscoe would simply pass it to him.

Hope you are wrong, but I know the instances you are referring to.

 

[LmdCat]

Murray is playing very selfish at the moment.

 

[FlCATFan]

No, no, no, please no stall ball Cal. Bites us every time.

 

[*CatinIL*]

BKH got that call right Woo Hoo

 

[EnglandWildcat]

Everyone complaining about the defense tonight should realize that Cal has told the guards to run them off the 3pt line. Give up the drive if necessary, but stay up on them outside. That's why they are getting layups. It's a calculated decision -- make them beat you with 2's. And it is a smart game plan.

 

[Bkocats]

ok, are these announcers getting on anyone else's nerves?

 

[kyjeff1]

Yep, some defensive purists on here will hate it I know but I'd rather we do that instead of risking them getting hot from 3. Drives me nuts when teams shoot 3's out their minds against us and only us.

It's the right plan. They beat teams by hitting threes. Which is odd because they only appear to have one good shooter.

 

[letitrainuk]

ESPN commentators are horrible. Do they watch the game?
