Carr again

 

[ck-2]

Here comes the ice cream BS.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Otega lost on defense. Completely losing his man.

He's usually ball hawking, but nothing tonight.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Travis Perry in the game and getting valuable minutes right now.

I like it.

No sooner had I written this and Perry turned it over immediately.

 

[Kerry Kat]

We would not be 9-1 without Carr

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

What’s with the ice cream lol

 

[oldsports_]

Perry needs to be on bench.

Hell yes

 

[TriCountyCat]

How come we haven’t gotten those and 1 calls? Butler has to head fake someone out of their shoes and they still don’t want to call it.

 

[LmdCat]

Perry doesn't even have the body of someone who should be playing at this level. When he walks onto the court, he looks out of place.

 

[JFCats22]

11/18 from the FT line isn’t going to cut it.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

We have to find a solution to spelling Butler. Perry hurts us.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Perry is a liability

He is no Reed. That's for sure. His time will be n the future.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Got to get this past 10, they can’t miss from 3

 

[megablue]

We are much the better team, but Louisville plays hard and is scrappy.
They make you beat them …

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Wish Bilas would shove that ice cream cone up his ass. Don't want to start hearing about that now.

 

[ck-2]

We only fight when think we might lose

I agree that this team seems to have selective effort depending on the score.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Why is Perry in this game?

Butler's coming off an injury.

Noah looks better!

 

[Villecard502]

TARDS are giving us every opportunity to expand this lead and we’re stagnant

What does “tards” mean?

 

[Kerry Kat]

11-18 at the line. We’re leaving points on the floor

 

[Warf2012]

And Lamont should be locked in the gym and shooting FT till his arm falls off 👍

The entire team should. There is literally zero excuse for a team this skilled to shoot free throws as bad as they do. Especially when they’ve shown in previous games that they can shoot 80-85% as a team for a game.

 

[fisherscatfan]

They are bodying the shit out of our players and getting away with it. This is where looking at the box score is bullshit. The fouls look even but they shouldn’t be.

Perry turned it over after being put in a horrible spot from that bad pass. He's not been good but that possession wasn't on him imo.

 

[SophiesDad]

Our home whistle is non existent.

 

[K_TIME]

Perry is a liability

He’s more than a liability…he’s straight doody on both ends


Just play Oweh and Jax and Brea when Butler needs a blow

 

[flacat22]

hahaha Tard fan here defending the corrupt ref

I’m sure she thought you were talking about their tiny coach.

 

[TheDude73]

11/18 from the FT line isn’t going to cut it.

Better than 10/18.

 

[Bkocats]

Kentucky and Louisville can throw out rankings when they match up.

That’s what I was saying earlier

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

11/18 from the FT line isn’t going to cut it.

You say this every game thread, and yet we're 9-1, ranked #5 in the nation, and have beaten two probable #1 seeds.

So yes, it has cut it.

 

[CrazyCat74]

We would not be 9-1 without Carr

He cures a lot of our ills..

 

[KYFOSSIL]

I don’t know how we beat Gonzaga and Duke. Guys we gotta come to terms with the fact that this has been kind of a fools gold start to the year. I don’t wanna believe it but the more I watch I gotta think it’s true. Am I saying we’re not a good team? No. But we’re not beat Duke, beat Gonzaga, rank number 5 in the country in late December good. Our defense just doesent have it. You guys gotta see the same thing surely. And the reason I’m saying this after today is bc this is our first game in rupp with a hyped crowd and we still can’t guard for shit. So many open 3’s for Louisville

Just stop. You just cant help yourself minimizing this tem

 

[ck-2]

I’ll ask again, is Chandler hurt? Seems weird to me how he’s used.

 

[EliteBlue]

Ole Miss beat them by 25

And Duke beat them by 10 after trailing all game? Point?

 

[truckbrandon]

I've said it all year, but Andrew Carr is a warrior! Love that dude!

 

[BBUK]

We are much the better team, but Louisville plays hard and is scrappy.

[the nail at the foul line]

Good looking dudes like you only worry about looks.

 

[aikenite4uk]

Kelsey runs good sets, tons of moving screens, none called

Yep Perry just got abused by an illegal screen fortunately the Louisville player missed a shot

LOL, you ripped me for suggesting it’s possible we might be a bit of a pretender.

But I agree, we aren't physical enough, not even close and we leave shooters wide open.

We're shooting 70% and are only up 8 points to a team that has zero depth.

Free throws also continue to be an issue.

 

[Warf2012]

What does “tards” mean?

It means “foolish person” or “backwards.” You’re welcome.
