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

[BBNinSC]

Louisville is a scrappy team and Kelsey seems like a great hire for them. It’s good for us when this rivalry means something.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

These UK vs. Louisville games are usually ugly as muck.

You guys knew it was coming.

The rule for these rivalry games is just to survive and move on to live another day from an injury and suspension standpoint.

True

 

[Soupbean]

Out of the time out isolate Edwards and drive it hard right into him. This ain’t hard

 

[TriCountyCat]

We gotta finish the out of conference out with just one loss. I see about 7 in conference.

 

[megablue]

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

They’ve shot over 60% of their shots from three on the year … so they fire away !!

 

[TheWyldKat]

Typical Louisville rock fight.

UL playing harder. Diving on the floor, getting every 50/50 ball, rebounding, uk only does this for top 15 teams

Drives me bonkers

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

13/20 from the FT line entering final media to. Let’s see how the Cats do down the stretch.

 

[catben]

Turnovers, giving up offensive rebounds, not guarding the 3 point line missing FT's are ALL why we can't get rid of the Cards down the stretch!!!!

And of course they are playing WAAAAYYYY OVER their heads!!!!


COME ON CATS!!!!

FINISH UP STRONG and put these punks in there place!!!

 

[Bkocats]

Hate to say it but Mark and staff is pulling a big time Cal. Edwards has had 4 fouls forever and I’ve been begging for them to drive it right at him every time and found him out. Instead we’re shooting contested 3s while Edwards scored the last 7 points of the game.

Mark is better than that

He HAS fouled, they won’t call it

 

[the nail at the foul line]

This is where we miss Kerr.

Kerr would have been swinging

 

[fisherscatfan]

This is a C grade at best for Pope this game. 2 guys are keeping UL in the game and it looks like Cal’s defense on the accountant.

 

[Lempface]

We need voir dire for ref selection. NCAA gives a list of refs available for game and each team can nix 3 of them lol.

I gotcha 11-7, too. Tough league …

 

[dopy03]

I find it amazing that the same people who were super negative during Cals last few years are….. (wait for it) negative now. That tells me either they are trolls or just super negative people. This hasn’t been pretty but we are winning and we will probably win. Louisville is hitting shots they normally would not hit, and are mudding it up. What’s worse is Pat Adam’s. It’s going to be ok.

 

[LmdCat]

Damn has anyone taught our “bigs” to have their damn hands up?

Our bigs are the laziest part of this team. They stand around get their butts kicked by much smaller players. I hope Pope corrects this with future classes. We need athletic bigs. Auburn is going to kill these guys.

Let’s just get the W and get out of here please.

 

[ck-2]

We have the two best wins of any team in the country and here we are complaining about hustle 🤷🏻‍♂️ enjoy our team. Criticism is one thing but stupidity is another.

Yes I agree. Not recognizing the lack of hustle against an inferior team is stupidity.

 

[TheWyldKat]

True

The effort by UK and lack of by UK is the game

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Finish them, guys

 

[CUJO_1970]

3-pointers have been the difference, along with our terrible 65% FT shooting. UL has shot 35 3-pointers to our 19.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

They treated it like a rivalry game.

We didn’t.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

UL playing harder. Diving on the floor, getting every 50/50 ball, rebounding, uk only does this for top 15 teams

Drives me bonkers

Nothing worse than bending over at the waist to go after a loose ball. Sacrilege

 

[Bkocats]

OMFG UTTER BULLSHIT

 

[LmdCat]

Carr is too damn weak.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Forced that shot down low out of a timeout. Clearly drawn up by Pope. It wasn’t there. Should have passed out of it.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Horrible

Hopefully the refs have covered and stopped cheating

 

[JFCats22]

2 points in the last 4 minutes. Literally giving this game to UL

 

[megablue]

Don’t have to like them, but gotta respect them !!

 

[ukjenning44]

Of course fat Adam’s on cue

 

[bluebayou01]

Pat Adam's once again!! Out of position too

 

[NociHTTP]

It’s not effort it’s positioning and fighting thru screens. They have held quite a bit with no call but fight thru it. I can’t believe Pope hasn’t changed the D up they can’t drive past us.

The seeming refusal to get on the floor for loose balls, to not go after the ball after a miss, to not hold onto the ball instead of playing finesse. That is lack of effort. That's a tough one for Pope, I'd try Noah out there.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Looked like a good block to me

 

[Kerry Kat]

We FAFO allowed this sorry geam
To stay in the game. It’s not over.

 

[mrjuk]

ALL ball

 

[TheWyldKat]

So I wonder if the team will actually guard the 3 this possession

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

You would think some here never watch any other sports.

Michigan vs Ohio State in football this year was an example. These rivalry games are different

 

[AshWilliams]

Pat Adams gon' kowl dee fal eber tahm

 

[pauled]

Why are we jacking threes?

 

[LmdCat]

Shooters are left wide open.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Chucky playing like he's been teased his entire life over that first name.
