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

[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.
They make you beat them …

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Noah looks better!

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

 

[Digger-Cat]

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

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.

 

[Basscat1987]

Just stop. You just cant help yourself minimizing this tem

Tell me with a straight face that u think we play good defense

 

[flacat22]

Have made 4 threes tonight immediately out of a timeout.

Not Pope’s best game tonight

He’s not on the court genius

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

Veteran teams up their defensive intensity when they need to. We have a really good team that is pretty clutch. Some of y’all will maybe realize that at some point.

 

[katwest]

That’s what I was saying earlier

Up until the last few minutes Louisville has been playing harder.

 

[mrjuk]

hahaha Tard fan here defending the corrupt ref

They are actually defending my comments on a vertically challenged player that I very much dislike.

 

[JFCats22]

Play some defense and end this game!!

 

[gharding07]

Our home whistle is non existent.

Never really has been. Cal with all his crying and screaming ruined it.

 

[ala_kat2]

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

Thank Butler

 

[darkshadesofblue]

If we can just back to back stops we can put this away

 

[ManitouDan]

Here comes the ice cream BS.

"Nothing opens wider than my mouth when I used to call Duke games when Coach K was coaching." - Bilas

nothing like a big ole penis !!!

 

[ck-2]

nice hustle Garrison!

 

[KyCatFan]

Amari has been fine tonight. Garrison is playing way too much

I disagree. Amari is just standing and watching on defense. The times he tries he is to slow to react. He's not good enough to play here, but Pope was limited on options and bought into the defensive player of the year talk. I keep hoping the light comes on bright with him, but it's been mostly dim or flickering.

 

[CUJO_1970]

Louisville has taken 31 3-pointers to our 16 - don’t understand that.

 

[JFCats22]

That’s 5 threes for UL immediately out of timeouts.

Pope - wake the f up!

 

[crawfords corner]

Great fking hustler Garrison!!!!

Duke beat UL by 10 after trailing all game? Are they fools gold too?

 

[Bkocats]

WOW WHAT A GREAT PLAY

 

[fisherscatfan]

No way Williams would have put in that effort there.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Carr plays his ass off every game.

He might not always play well but it’s not for lack of effort when he doesn’t play well.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Pat Adams and some lucky 3s keeping this from being a 20+ blowout.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Son of a biiiiiiiiiscuit

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Heroic play by Garrison

 

[ck-2]

Attack Edwards and foul him out!!

 

[LmdCat]

At least Garrison hustled on that play.

 

[CrimsonCats]

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

He’s just not ready for a game like this. Perry isn’t either, but he’s at least theoretically a better ball handler for spot minutes at the point. Chandler is more of a pure wing.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Waterman needs his ass kicked.

 

[ukjenning44]

What’s bad is Louisville is beating us with one on one shit. They don’t run good offense.

 

[thunderradar]

Butler can't hit a free throw but can't miss from everywhere else

 

[JFCats22]

Butler is a maniac tonight!!

 

[crawfords corner]

The Butler indeed, did it... again

 

[NociHTTP]

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

He's been working hard, a man on a mission

I don’t think we are a pretender. I don’t know if we have what it takes to win it all but these guys don’t quit, if we can shore up some weaknesses then we could. I still love this squad. Doing us proud.
