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

Butler…stud

We can’t even play terrible defense or it will be a foul. It really ****ing sucks. I’m sorry, I don’t want to complain, but I’m so tired of it. If we put statues in UK jerseys out there the refs would be blowing their whistles. It’s exhausting.

Butler says hi

Butler is a beast!

 

[megablue]

Butler…stud

He is our MVP !!

 

[TriCountyCat]

If I were Louisville I would drive the ball. I’ve never witnessed so many anticipated fouls that aren’t happening in all my life

My point exactly. Bulter all ball and nothing compared to them holding us.

 

[TheDude73]

They drive, we breath, foul.

We drive, they hack, nothing.

I wish we had Butler, Robinson, and Carr for a second year. Can you imagine what Pope would do with those guys if he had one more season with them?

 

[Digger-Cat]

L hit a bunch of step back 3s w hands in their faces. I expect those to not fall as much in the second half

We need to focus on cleaning up the glass and we’ll be fine

Most of those threes looked wide open to me. I'm not sure why, but we are guarding them like we're terrified of dribble penetration, they're just taking the shots we're giving them.

 

[LmdCat]

Our offense overcomes the persistent laziness from our defense.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Cats playing well have the lead but still not in control of the game

 

[J-Ryan]

Refs lickin their chops tryin to get Louisville and 1s

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

So far this game is basically Hepburn and Edwards Jr vs Robinson and Butler ..... 4 players just dominating the game so far, Butler just more than the others thankfully

 

[Warf2012]

Why don't the refs have THEIR names on their backs? Some sure like to be recognized... (Have to wonder the motivations...)

I’d prefer their full name, address and phone number on their back.

 

[Seth_C]

My point exactly. Bulter all ball and nothing compared to them holding us.

They could pull our jerseys off and it wouldn’t be a foul. But we can’t stand still with our hands up. It’s maddening and it ruins these games. Jesus ****. Pick a rule book and call it. I don’t care. Nothing is a foul. Everything is a foul. I. Do. Not. Care. Just call the entire game one way. ****ing Christ it isn’t hard.

Brea giving up the baseline that easy and no help from the bigs. Just don’t get it. But it seems like so many coaches don’t demand not giving up the baseline.

 

[katwest]

We are going to have problems on defense going forward, its been bad tonight.

 

[wildcatwelder]

Let's go Cats!!!! Blow the dirty birds out!!!

God I hate UL.

 

[LmdCat]

What a game by Butler. Would love to see Owen and Carr get going

Carr's inability to elevate is his biggest problem. When he gets the ball in the post there no guarantee he will be able to get off the shot.

So far this game is we aren’t allowed to play defense so Louisville gets free points. That’s the game. Otherwise it would be us by 20 and the game would have been over at the half but we can’t have that. Bad for advertisers.

 

[Bkocats]

I think it’s kind of funny
A couple of threads before the game were talking about the nature of this rivalry and most were calling for a 10-12 point win
Did we lose all logic during the game thread?
I see stupid stuff they’re doing as well
This is an emotional game

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Carr told not to shoot or something?

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

Butler has been our MVP in this game.

 

[zannmann]

Gotta force some turnovers.

 

[JFCats22]

Our 3 pr defense strategy is dumb as hell

 

[CUJO_1970]

9 threes that’s why UL is hanging around

 

[Bkocats]

Guess Kelsey told Pat he Venmoed him

 

[ukjenning44]

Hadley walked

 

[HenryMuto]

Refs suck bad

 

[JFCats22]

Unreal. Pissing this away

 

[TheDude73]

Refs just decided and-1s were going to be their thing tonight.

 

[Warf2012]

Hadley walked a fking mile before he even shot. Bullshit.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Carr hacked and nothing, next trip and 1 for UL

 

[wildcatwelder]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Physical contact at one end no call, their end .....foul. Blatantly bias

 

[flacat22]

How was that a foul and not a walk? Pat Adams

 

[crawfords corner]

Biggest referee pet peeve. Out of position referees who make calls they clearly cannot see

 

[JonathanW]

Pat Adams is killing us

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Walk

 

[ck-2]

I miss Kenny Payne.

 

[Kerry Kat]

I seriously hate the TARDS
