Kentucky vs Tennessee Game Thread

No shame in having a rationale mind, my friend. I still don't know how they could win that game.

If anyone thought we were winning that game down Carr, Butler and Kriisa, they were lying. No shame in thinking we had no chance, I sure didn't.

Goes to show you just the type of talent Pope is. I'm pretty sure two junior high kids snuck onto the floor for UK and we still beat a fully strength top10 Tennessee team on the road.

Tenn reminded me of a cal team! Can't shoot. Tighten down the driving lanes and things get difficult! I don't see them being ranked as high as they are.

 

[HenryMuto]

We shot 50% from the field and 50% from 3 vs the #1 kenpom DEF in America

I need a cigerettte

I’m headed out for one lol

 

[Mash 2.4]

Huge win. We needed it badly. Played like we didn’t want to win a little down the stretch but we deserved the win more than they did.

 

[HenryMuto]

Our 83rd ranked D or whatever held them to 34% from field and 24% from 3

Wow

This game would been 20 point win if we could rebound and not turn it over so much

 

[blubo]

one of the things that stood out to me tonight was the way williams handles the ball in open court. magic like

 

[Kycatspaws]

Alright Cats. Big win in Tennessee!

That's incredible!

 

[HenryMuto]

Tenn has 22 more shots from the field and we still won wow

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

How we do that? Sooo HAPPY!!!

 

[Fox2monk]

That dumbass deleted his post, glad you quoted it

A huge win under manned with no PG and they still say this crap.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I had been lurking after halftime, didn’t want to jinx anything. Great Win by the Cats!!’

Good decision.

 

[Bluesnky]

Let me know the next time a basketball team wins a game while taking 22 fewer field goal attempts than the opponent. Unreal.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

This team is a sum of its parts. One man goes down another steps up and fills the equation. That’s why system ball equals Ws instead freelancing street ball that most top recruits like to play today. Blessed to have Pope on our side

There’s some crow to be eaten…. @ryanbruner

[Blue Bigfoot]

We have the weirdest team this year.
We beat the top ten teams like clockwork and only lose to unranked teams. They are an enigma. 🤔

 

[xc72wildcat]

Great win. Another 2.5 hour game. SEC Refs are ridiculous

 

[justin_uk_5]

Why is @Jsp65 ao quiet? He talks all day long and goes radio silent when we beat UT….

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Yep, no Butler, no Kriisa, no Carr. Still took care of bidness.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

They are far from perfect and drive me crazy but you can't call em soft anymore. That's the 3rd win against the NET top 5.

 

[crxohio]

Rebounding is the separation between us and the loses. We got to rebound better.

 

[JFCats22]

So how did you make your great call about the refs?

Try to follow along, I know this is hard for you as you aren’t smart.

I watched the first half, went to the event I had to go to, got back at the end of the game.

Crazy I know.

 

[michaeluk26]

I need a drink.

I took a Xanax.

 

[bbncal02]

I’m headed out for one lol

Smoke two for me.

 

[cat tat2]

Gotta love this team!

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Make FTs we win comfortably by 10.

 

[megablue]

15 boards in only 24 minutes !!

Rebounding.
Free throws.
Taking better care of the ball.

I don't really care if our defense never gets to top50/60 in the nation, because I just don't think we have the team for that (and certainly not when we have 3 maybe 4 guys injured).

But you have to fix the top3. Have to be better there.

Wow

This game would been 20 point win if we could rebound and not turn it over so much

Thanks in some part to Ziegler missing shot after shot from 3. (Most if them wide open)
But, we played hard and made some big threes from Robinson. Almonar, Brea and Noah.

LMAO! UK went pretty much wire to wire and you hated every minute of it. Embarrassing to watch your lame show.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Hey EwwwwT you take the losing streak we're good.😎

And, as I said very early in the game.. you can always count on Tennessee to just be woeful on offense at times. Some of this win was simply on Rick Barnes once again having a team that just cant score for long stretches.

 

[G-PIP]

Tenn has 22 more shots from the field and we still won wow

And TN had 18 f'ing offensive rebounds and only 5 turnovers (to our 13) and we still beat that god-awful puke orange.

 

[crxohio]

Make FTs we win comfortably by 10.

That too.

 

[bbncal02]

Pope made adjustments. We lose this game with Cal.

I'm so glad we got this win. Those orange bastards would've been insufferable.

 

[Dreklie]

Rebounds were even so not sure about the complaint here. FT's were/are another matter

we gave up idk how many offensive rebounds that lead to 3s

 

[crawfords corner]

That means Robinson is 2-0 as UK starting PG ,right?

Absolutely. That's what is holding us back. We all have bad shooting nights. It's winning in other ways that counts.
