Kentucky vs. Clemson Game Thread

Clemson hitting prayers. UGH

 

[gharding07]

WHY DOES POPE LET WILLIAMS HANDLE THE BALL!!?? Terrible.

 

[catben]

Williams needs to STOP the One-On-One crap!!!!

 

[Roe07]

ok can we stop giving Williams the ball

 

[Pelosigalore]

I don’t understand the bad FF shooting

 

[Bkocats]

Got bailed by it there

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Williams doesn’t need to try anything except rebounding and blocking shots.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

It would be nice if guys didn’t hit step back contested 3s against Kentucky

 

[Kycatspaws]

Carr for three!

 

[The_Catfather]

I've seen enough of letting Amari back down a defender at the top of the key. Just kill that from the playbook.

 

[bbncal02]

We should be up 8 right now if not for bullshit threes and turnovers. I don't what's up with our huge increase in turnovers but it's frustrating.

It is Zoom scheme

 

[DraftCat]

Butler is needed in this game going to be a rough 1st half.

Got to weather the storm

Clemson hitting prayers. UGH

Never fails!!!!

Teams STILL get way up when they see that UK uniform.

This

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Williams don't

 

[UKDC80]

Pope has to tell Williams to stop doing that garbage. Why, why, why? He is not that type of player.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

Williams backing down from the free throw line is not the play. Ends up getting stripped almost every time.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Williams needs to stop trying to spin dribble. PERIOD.

 

[Fox2monk]

Rebound better and make a few more open looks and we will win this. Just not fighting on the boards hard enough. Getting whatever we want on offense for the most part.

 

[Pelosigalore]

Let’s go Cayts!

 

[JFCats22]

This game is setting offense back about 50 years.

Woof this is nasty to watch

 

[ala_kat2]

Williams gets too loose with the ball trying to get a layup.

 

[katwest]

Amari doesn’t need to back down or he will lose it every time.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I disagree. When Clemson hip checked him it was not a foul. The refs defined it, and didn’t call it the same both ways. In context it wasn’t a foul.

if I were reffing I would have called butler for a foul on the second one. On the first one I would have called a foul on Clemson

 

[Warf2012]

We miss too many Free Throws!!!

Especially for such an older team that’s full of shooters. No excuse for the way they’re shooting fts.

 

[truckbrandon]

Amari shouldn't be driving in traffic like that... nearly automatic turnover... our guys just need to pay within themselves.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Cats 3 for 6 out the gate from three.
Good start

 

[Seth_C]

I don’t understand the bad FF shooting

Apparently that’s just a Kentucky thing. We could shoot 70% from 2, 60% from 3, and 50% from the free throw line and it wouldn’t even surprise me.

 

[gharding07]

It is Zoom scheme

Well scheme it away or let Carr handle it. Williams can park his ass under the hoop for rebounds and lob dunks.

 

[Fancatstik]

Williams idea of driving to the basket is run backwards

 

[Bkocats]

I may not make it till halftime to step outide

 

[kats23]

one big knock on our bigs is they just won’t take the ball straight up when they have it wide open in the post. They want to shot fake 2-3 times. Just take the damn thing up

 

[TheWyldKat]

Clemson is not that good.

We just can’t play defense and are cold from 3.

And I wished the guys played with lil more effort on defense wide open 3’s

 

[megablue]

This

10000% this ^^^

 

[catfan220]

I think the book is out on Williams driving, he leaves that ball so exposed and it's not like he's a freak athlete or super quick. Just kind of lumbering down towards the basket, spinning, backing his man down, with the ball up high. Too easy to strip him or poke it free.

 

[Kybluedude]

Almanor is gonna be unplayable tonight, he didn’t even attempt to box out a min ago

Jesus

 

[onearmedjesus]

Is #11 going for the Rasputin look?

 

[UKWildcats3]

I love this team but the one thing I can't stand is Amari dribbling into the middle of the paint clueless..it's about the only time our offense looks stagnant

 

[KY Long Rifle]

Not a bad start. I’d like to see the pace pick up a bit though. I think it would favor us more.
