***Kentucky vs Kansas Official Game Thread**

[EliteBlue]

Horrible shooting percentages, though otherwise they’re doing great. Don’t get to post much anymore, downrange, enjoying all of the action. Go Cats!

Downrange as in deployed? If so, stay safe brother

 

[CrazyCat74]

We can and will win this if the refs don't screw us.

I'm sure they will try

 

[LmdCat]

Adou is a grown ass man!

He is playing just the way he showed last season if he is given minutes.

 

[bbncal02]

Bad end to the half. But I don't think any of us thought we'd be here considering we were missing three guys.

 

[NociHTTP]

LOL, Cal. "DJ" is not going on a run until he learns to play within himself, not FOR HIMSELF.

 

[Fox2monk]

Win or lose I’m proud of this bunch. We are outmanned right now and taking the #1 team to the brink.

 

[StubbornPenny]

This will by far be the most entertaining KY team that never wins anything.

May I invite you to EAD?

 

[kywildcat41086]

Shooting FT’s at a decent clip

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Already said Edwards needs to pull his head outta his ass. Add Wagner to that list as well. We’ve got to get something from these guys.

 

[HenryMuto]

Had ball up 12 with 30 seconds left and end up only up 7 we will be looking back on that end of half if we end up losing.

 

[bbncal02]

Ugh. Now 15 minutes of nerves.

 

[TheDude73]

I don't think they've been that bad, but there have been a few head scratchers.

Just wait...they know what they're doing. If KU starts to get it close, and we start pulling away, they'll start tooting those blowholes and putting KU on the line for the rest of the 2nd half.

 

[KyCatFan]

Wagner and Reeves 1 for 14. Reeves needs to shoot but Wagner needs to stick to attacking and passing out.

 

[Easternkybb]

Lololol at these analysts. No one mentions we don’t have any bigs.

 

[TriCountyCat]

I’m not just salty I really am glad Flopingson didn’t choose UK

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

Up by 7 on the #1 team in the country. Certainly wasn’t expecting it but I will certainly take it. Hopefully they can keep up the pace and get the W but either way this is definitely a good game to build upon for these guys.

 

[FilsonCat]

Kansas will make some adjustments. The refs will be kicking into overdrive in the second half, I'll wager.

 

[Fox2monk]

Quick thoughts:

1) I don’t care what rankings say…. Rob and Reed are our two best FR so far by a LOT.
2) Wagner/Edwards have been our two worst players tonight… don’t get the Edwards hype
3) We’re gonna have to overcome the big kid from Kansas going for 30/20 to get the W
4) This is so much more fun to watch than our offense last year. We may not win, but this is at least more fun and you have some hope watching this.

Edwards had some huge rebounds(only credited with 1). He just plays within himself. If DJ would play like that we would be even better. We need him and DJ to get 10 between them. Reeves to have about 12 second half points and we can win this.

 

[megablue]

That was pretty clearly bad execution by Dilly.

100% this ^^^ ... he's human.

 

[LmdCat]

Best Cal coached half in years IMO.

Yes he stayed out of the team's way. His only bad move was taking Delly out of the game because of a turnover he made trying to make something happen for his teammates.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Down 9 to start to up 7 at the half. Shoulda been at least 10 but I’ll take 7.

 

[The_Answer1313]

lol all he did was give him some extra time to rest before the under 4 min TO.

He was right back in after the break until he got the 2nd foul.

 

[Pelosigalore]

Cal gets pissed at Dillingham but he can't own that he benched him after he was on FIRE.

He told cal to STFU

 

[StubbornPenny]

We have shot 23 threes. Welch for President.

 

[sefus12]

Gotta get your best decision maker in on that last offensive possession (Sheppard), mix with Dilly, Reeves, Edwards and Thiero and hold for last shot. Went too early. That’s on Cal.

I’d rather have Mitchell out there than Edwards. Edwards has given us nothing this game (season?).

 

[CatPhight]

Lololol at these analysts. No one mentions we don’t have any bigs.

for cal to clog the lane with...

 

[RMorris33]

Edwards, Wagner and Reeves are a combined 1-18 and we're up 7. That's gotta be a good sign

 

[RunninRichie]

This will by far be the most entertaining KY team that never wins anything.

What have your hawkeyes ever won?

 

[ala_kat2]

Cal’s going to give Wagner his minutes no matter how bad he plays. After all, he’s somebody’s son.

 

[megablue]

Dilly, Theiro and Shep were MIGHTY DAMN GOOD in the first half !!

 

[LmdCat]

LOL, Cal. "DJ" is not going on a run until he learns to play within himself, not FOR HIMSELF.

You are exactly right. Currently Wagner is playing for himself and not the team.

 

[CrazyCat74]

Wagner and Reeves 1 for 14. Reeves needs to shoot but Wagner needs to stick to attacking and passing out.

Yes

DJ needs to attack and get 6-8 points from the free throw line

 

[Big BlueBeard]

This UK team just realized they can play with anyone. Look out! Confidence is a Mofo!

 

[CatPhight]

May I invite you to EAD?

his mouth is prob already full...

 

[crawfords corner]

How many times has Kentucky in the last few years taken 23 shots from 3 in one half. Hell, there are games we take less than 20.

 

[chroix]

For tee an doh.

 

[Easternkybb]

Look for touch fouls both ways at the start of the half. Then a little let ‘em play then Ky starts getting called for every touch foul again.

 

[Seth_C]

Wagner gives up a three at the end. Literally did nothing that half

Hey now, that’s not fair. He did something. He missed every single shot he took the entire half.

 

[caneintally]

Kansas will come out in the second half and feed the post every possession.

Cool . Its not like didn't do that in the 1st half . If KU is going to win they are going to need to make 3's to keep up with our 3's . Thiero has no business playing Douchebag the human to a standstill but has so far .

 

[SophiesDad]

Edwards is the most talented player on the floor but lacks any physicality and effort.
