Official Game Thread: Kentucky vs. Louisville 12-14-24

You never know what you are going to get with Garrison, sometimes he’s very good, others his head is not in the game. Pope needs to get in their shit at halftime, you can’t play half a game against a rival. We have to finish them off the second half and stay focused, quit messing around with them.
 
I’m glad Robinson showed up at Gonzaga but Pope needs to realize that 90% of the time he is a turnover when running point. It is what it is. He doesn’t like it. He doesn’t want to do it. He will never ever be good at it.

Got no other options.
 
Louisville with the big two assists in the first half. If we play zone against them they're done.
Cuz they ain't scoring by passing the ball in the first half. And that's what you have to do against the zone. If they have to pass the ball they're going to turn the ball over.
I love you alls recent love for zone defense. I’d also assume most of you have no clue what paying in one means.

If we were a primary zone team we’d keep hearing screams for man haha
 
Pope is a second half coach. He’ll make changes to both D and O. They won’t get half as many 3’s in the second and when take em they have serious defense in there faces. Cats win this by 16+
 
And? It's a rivalry game. We knew they'd be ready to play us today.

You sound surprised, but I'm not sure why.
He only does it in gamethreads because he knows he can get away with the incessant negativity and face no repurcussions. I quit doing gamethreads because of his behavior. Pointing out a-holery is my downfall, so I'll stop again with the gamethreads. Not worth it.
 
The Pat Adams quiz game.

Relationally does he:

A. Win most of the arguments against his wife?
B. Let her win the argument?
C. Doesn't have a woman. He sleeps alone next to a Real Doll while listening to Al Green albums.
The fact that he is still officiating is damning statement on the NCAA.

Agree to a point. You have to be a good man to man team or you’re not gonna win much. Do wish Pope was more comfortable switching D’s randomly to mix thinks up a little and confuse teams. Gonzaga was bothered by the 1-3-1.

Let’s see if UK can launch more threes this half. 5/7 and passed up a couple open looks. Brea should never hesitate.
There was one possession where both he and Butler pumped faked wide open threes and we instead got a contested shot off. Maddening, especially with Brea. Shoot every open shot
 
I really wish we had redshirted one of Noah, Perry, or Chandler this season and expanded their longevity with the program by a season.

It's the kind of thing I wish Pitino had done with Allen Edwards.
I gotcha, but does anybody redshirt anymore ??
 
Kelsey's done a good job with a limited roster and they play their asses off for him. They had Duke on the ropes for 30+ minutes a few days ago. I had a feeling this was going to be a close game. If they continue to hit contested 3s it's gonna get nerve-wracking late.
