Kentucky vs. Clemson Game Thread

[UKWildcats1987]

Why not bring in Travis Perry at this point?
Nobody can shoot

Shut up with this nonsense.

 

[blue cincy]

Everything going Clemson way and they are only up by 2.

 

[TucsonCat]

Shootingg and missing a bunch of three pointers is just as boring as the weave and not shooting them.

 

[Kybluedude]

First half. Don’t win games in the first half particularly on the road

 

[megablue]

This team has no one who can create their own shot. They are in trouble in SEC play.

I agree. Aggressive man defense affects our passing lanes, too. Accordingly, we simply HAVE to shoot well.

 

[catlogic15]

Clemson is physical, and so is every SEC team. Doesn’t bode well.

 

[chroix]

Turn it around

 

[CondorCat]

Cold streak. We're shooting 26% and out rebounded 18-16.

 

[ala_kat2]

man, missing wide open 3s are killing them now

Some of those 3’s were closely guarded. Seems we’re shooting in desperation because we cannot get any spacing due to Clemson’s defense.

 

[kywildcat41035]

We got this in the bag!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I don't know if its the offensive game plan that's the issue, I think these guys just aren't quite the level of talent we need to be a true threat. Who can take over a game? Who can create their own shot? Sadly, I still think for this year, this team just has a lot of 3rd and 4th option type guys.

Some of you have to chill. This game is far from over for either team.

Relax and enjoy

Hard to relax when this whistle is this bad. If this was at Rupp, I wouldn't be worried. This is on the road, and Ayers is out there. This is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Lempface]

That was such an obvious foul on the Kerr offensive rebound literally everyone stopped playing for a tick, inusing Clemson. These refs suck.

100 this ^^^^

Is Ritchie gonna play tonight coach ??? I’ll hang up and listen … lol 😂

 

[BCD]

I think I heard a whistle during the time out.

 

[simnalecho]

we need to have Carr &/or Williams on the floor at all times against good teams

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

It's Roger Ayers, what do you expect

This all day. He’s been like that with us for years.

 

[ukwazoo]

Rebound

 

[GoNoles111]

Drive the ball.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

Frustrating to watch Pope continue to run the same lineup out there that is just not going to give us the best chance now or in March.

Amari is a 10-15mpg bench guy. Garrison 5-10. The bulk of the minutes need to go to Butler, Brea, Robinson, Oweh, and Carr.

Krissa and Garrison are the weakest links. Almanor doesn’t give anything if he can’t hit open threes.

 

[clevenger32]

Worst officiating of the season, by far.

Hard to block it out, but hopefully our guys can do it.

Three veteran ACC Dean E Smith trained

 

[Anthony B]

Holy flopping cannon balls! Them Tigers sure do love to flop!

 

[Seth_C]

Some of you have to chill. This game is far from over for either team.

Relax and enjoy

I’d love to. Talk to the refs.

 

[catben]

FINALLY!!!

Now let's finish the half strong!!!

 

[TucsonCat]

Like seeing Robinson hit one. Hope the start of a run.

 

[SemperFiCat]

I'm not worried. Pope has shown us he can figure things out.

 

[Anthony B]

We need to find a way to speed up the tempo.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Like "cut with force". Past Cal teams had the talent for that.. I kind of don't think this team has that. We can win games first sure, but I think it's Pope's offense and overall coaching ability that's able to make these guys look good.

 

[bbncal02]

Butler HAS to be out there PERIOD>

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Stop whining...they ain't gonna miss forever

 

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

garrison and Amari do NOT need to be dribbling under any circumstance!!! They are both TERRIBLE with the ball in their hands! Garrison by far is the WORST

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Nice 7-0 run cats

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

There we go boys!!! That's how we play!

 

[Farsight]

Don't you love when Pope takes a timeout and we RESPOND WITH A STRATEGY

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Pope.. man. He uses a timeout and we right the ship.

 

[bbncal02]

Good response. Now close out the half.

Oweh!

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Watch how we respond out of TO’s.

Great job, Coach Pope

 

[SophiesDad]

Love Oweh’s game

 

[kywildcat41035]

I'm not worried. Pope has shown us he can figure things out.

Exactly no fear Pope is here!
