Kentucky vs. Clemson Game Thread

[catfan220]

It is Zoom scheme

Looking forward to when Pope has time to build a roster even better suited to Zoom

 

[Digger-Cat]

I realize we aren't going to make every shot, but free throws are a problem and guys like Jaxson and Oweh are too good to be missing wide open threes. Gotta make those and get some seperation.

 

[Soupbean]

Love Williams but Pope has to limit his one on one game. If he’s into metrics is has to be an 80% negative outcome from his back down moves. Best possible hair is a contested 6 foot hook. I cringe every time I see him taking it down

 

[catben]

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

If I was as big as Williams, Garrison and Carr, I'd try to tear the FREAKIN rim down anytime I had it underneath!!!!

 

[TheWyldKat]

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

I hate when he tries to backdown a defender
Always ends with a miss or T/O

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Jesus

Jesus what?

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

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

Lol 50% from 3 is cold?

 

[Kybluedude]

Damn. I thought we were winning?

 

[megablue]

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.

Big guys, Carr and Williams, should not dribble in traffic. Ball travels too far and hands are coming.

 

[SophiesDad]

Trying to back your opponent down starting from the 3 point line to under the basket is a recipe for disaster

 

[bbncal02]

I may not make it till halftime to step outide

Ditto. Iffy reffing, rowdy crowd. Stressful.

 

[bbncal02]

Man, they aren't just fouling. They are HARD fouling.

 

[Seth_C]

We make lose this game entirely on the back of Williams going ISO and missing every shot he takes.

 

[SophiesDad]

Clemson trying to muck it up a bit. Glad to see the refs aren’t allowing them to foul relentlessly while going uncalled

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

In SEC play we better have giving the ball to Williams and letting him dribbble a lot as part of our offense

 

[yes_takeaside]

Gotta make FTs

 

[BluestBlood]

We are ahead and look like we are a deer in headlights. That’s a good thing!

 

[Seth_C]

Big guys, Carr and Williams, should not dribble in traffic.

Apparently shouldn’t be shooting from 6 inches from the rim either. My god.

 

[SophiesDad]

Don’t think Robinson has attempted another shot since nailing his 1st 3 early

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Another bs foul on Carr, meanwhile Clemson is allowed hand to hand combat in the paint

 

[SophiesDad]

This game will last 2 1/2 hours

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

Don’t think Robinson has attempted another shot since nailing his 1st 3 early

Tried shooting another 3 but missed

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Fadeaway 10 footer over a 7 foot guy, yeah of course he makes that

 

[AshWilliams]

Jeez we sneeze on them and it's a foul, meanwhile our guy has to have a knife in his back for the refs to call it on them

 

[bbncal02]

Clemson has hit every prayer they've thrown up just about. Surely, that can't continue.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Tough shot there by #4 for Clemson

 

[The_Catfather]

Spaulding from Caddyshack gonna have a career game tonight.

 

[Kerry Kat]

FTs are killing us

 

[catfan220]

New rule -- when the defense is picking up full court, don't show a close up of the guy on the opposite end of the court during play.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Why are we going through are unskilled bigs?

 

[pauled]

Free throws!! Dang

 

[bbncal02]

Lol, this is a damn joke.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

This team should not be as bad at ft shooting as they are

 

[Pelosigalore]

I thought Kerr could shoot

 

[TheWyldKat]

WHY are our bigs trying to back these guys down

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

This is a great test for our guys in a hostile environment.

Let’s see how they respond

 

[UKSanders]

Absolute flop on the charge call against Garrison

 

[Kerry Kat]

Might need to play our best with 2 fouls this half.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'm very surprised how bad these guys are at free throws. We're not only not making them, but we're leaving several opportunities on 1 and 1s.

This seems very fixable. Have to put some extra time on free throw.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Nice play by Jaxson! Channeled his inner JORTS
