********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[mj2k10]

This year, Ulis may well prove to be the best sub-5'10" player to ever play the game.

Might want to chill on that a little. Yes, Ulis is really good, and missing on Emmanuel Mudiay is looking like an absolute Godsend. But..

There was this guy.

And of course, Muggsy Bogues did pretty well for himself in a 13 year NBA career.

We aren't shooting as well like last time,

but now we are pounding it in. Ulis and Murray is great. Briscoe started strong, made some silly plays.

Willis made one bad play, but everything else been fantastic.

Skal is benched....i think

but POYTHRESSSSSSSSSS so happy to see him. He's a beast. hahahaha i missed him so much!

I assume Skal is on the bench due to foul trouble. I counted at least 2, but its an exhibition game so half paying attention to that sort of thing.

 

[SosaUK]

ESPNU with the elementary basketball lesson at the half.

Well, half the time the viewers are from the Special Ed class

Edit: Not talking about you.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Nate Archibald was pretty good. Calvin Murphy too.

 

[Bkocats]

Definitely started sluggish - a little disinterested. Poy is playing with confidence; that's been my biggest concern for him. Skal made some silly, freshman mistakes. Ulis is the man. Briscoe needs to relax, but love his hustle. Willis playing well, he needs to keep it up. Lee is being Lee. Murray - OMG

btw, I love the press

I love this team

gonna be a fun year

 

[WildMoon]

What was the one bad play Willis make?

He made unnecessary pass to Ulis. He should of shot that midrange shot. He was wide open, and he's skilled enough to make that shot.

 

[jr40831]

Maybe we should do like the Louisville fans and refer to the players with with 'cool' abbreviations. i.e. we could call Alex Poytress as A-poy.....then there's .Ty-u.....Ska-Lab.....j-mur...maybe refer to Cal as CJC.

 

[SosaUK]

I assume Skal is on the bench due to foul trouble. I counted at least 2, but its an exhibition game so half paying attention to that sort of thing.

I believe you are correct, Sir.

 

[WildMoon]

Skal +2

53 - 20

But Skal picks up another foul. #3.

 

[jarms24]

Alright, 2nd half starting. Immediately went to Skal in the post. Missed the hook, but was able to tip it in. Then he picks up his 3rd personal on the other end. Liked his post up though. He was aggressive with it, and he's rebounding with authority.

 

[Anthony B]

Well, half the time the viewers are from the Special Ed class

Edit: Not talking about you.

lol. Instructor: When a man comes at you like this with his hands in the air. What do you do? Ulis: "I'll go around him." I'm like, "Surely not."

 

[WildMoon]

Lee with follow slam, 55 - 21

 

[jarms24]

The dribble drive looks almost as good as when Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans ran it at Memphis.

 

[WildMoon]

Briscoe +2

57 - 21

 

[mj2k10]

Nate Archibald was pretty good. Calvin Murphy too.

Archibald was called "Tiny", but he was actually listed at 6'1".

This is a pretty solid list of the best who were listed at 5'10" or under

 

[jarms24]

Murray with 16 pts 5-8 from the field. Looks great! Will lead this team in scoring.

 

[WildMoon]

+2 FT Murray

59 - 21

 

[WildMoon]

foul foul foul. zzzzzz

 

[WildMoon]

+2 Skal.

61 - 22

 

[jarms24]

Skal's post game is already improving. Nice hook. Think they should definitely feed him in the post as often as they possibly can against these weaker opponents to get him ready for the big boys. We already know what our guards can do.

 

[Stonewall12]

He made unnecessary pass to Ulis. He should of shot that midrange shot. He was wide open, and he's skilled enough to make that shot.

Yea he overpassed but it did not lead to a turnover or anything. He should of took the shot. He is playing really well. I would not single that play out as a bad play. Briscoe falling down trying to split two defenders would count as a bad play. That half is the best I have seen Willis play since the Bahamas.

 

[WildMoon]

+2 Skal

63 - 22

 

[jarms24]

Skal once more channeling his inner Anthony Davis with the And 1. Hits the FT.

 

[FlCATFan]

Skal is putting on a show now. Love that little jump hook he has. Hard to defend.

 

[WildMoon]

+2 Skal FT coming

65 - 22

+1 FT

66 - 22

 

[SosaUK]

Cal peeled the paint in the locker room. He knew his job was on the line. He listens to @CUT-NETS

 

[mdlUK.1]

Mulder hasn't played, has he?

 

[jarms24]

Mulder hasn't played, has he?

No, not yet.

 

[SosaUK]

Mulder hasn't played, has he?

Don't think so.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Giving up too many offensive rebounds.

 

[WildMoon]

Mulder hasn't played, has he?

i think him and Humphries has been removed from the rotation. well...i'm not being too serious, but these two are likely to drop first. Lee playing the 5 with Poythress seems to be coach cal's bench rotation.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

Mulder hasn't played, has he?

That would be correct. Looks like Willis has edged him out for the #8 spot in the rotation

 

[jarms24]

Skal 0 pts in 1st half
Has 9 points in just 4 mins here in the 2nd

 

[ccukuk]

Cal's jacket is pimp.

Is that a compliment? If not, sorry, that is a very classy sport coat. If that was a compliment, then yes, it's "pimp."

 

[Anthony B]

Skal is amphibious. Ha Ha. Guess he can play on land or in water.

 

[SosaUK]

Giving up too many offensive rebounds.

Indeed. Rebounds period. I'm not nitpicking though. It's an exhibition. The only dudes on the court that actually care about this game aren't wearing UK blue.

 

[jarms24]

Is that a compliment? If not, sorry, that is a very classy sport coat. If that was a compliment, then yes, it's "pimp."

I hate those kind of sport coats, but different strokes for different folks. I will admit that it probably cost as much as my wife's car when it was brand new.

 

[buckkiller]

Willis having nice game and Skal going off!

 

[SosaUK]

Is that a compliment? If not, sorry, that is a very classy sport coat. If that was a compliment, then yes, it's "pimp."

F yeah it was. I want one of those.
