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

[Nubb16]

Briscoe with the worst 10 foot jump shot in history of basketball

 

[catben]

How did Briscoe become a McDonald's AA when he can't shoot anything other than a layup????

 

[clew84]

Wth, Brisroe? Airball from there

 

[JerseyCat84]

Looks like we started our stall ball again

Our lead is so large it won't cost us.

 

[Schwagg]

Briscoe & Skal are terrible.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

USC beating AM.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Did Briscoe airball 8 fter?

Yes. I don't believe it was deflected.

 

[crawfords corner]

I really really do wish Dakari had stuck around another year

 

[Bkocats]

THERE is a three by Willis
then a good rebound

 

[JFCats22]

Tyler with 11 assists!

Kid is dumb good

 

[kennywalker34]

Career High 35 for Murray

 

[.S&C.]

I get playing stall ball with 25 point leads and 5 minutes to go.

I don't get it with 12 point leads and 10 minutes to go.

I've watched college ball for 30 years. Stalling out with small leads can cost you.

 

[Bkocats]

holy cow Murray

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Murray ties frosh record for points and 3's

 

[Kycatspaws]

New Career high for Jamal Murray. Tied Eric Bledsoe with 8 three's in a game.

 

[crawfords corner]

Another awful call against Lee

 

[JFCats22]

Murray with 8 threes and 35 points!!

P.S. Lee just fouled out. Weird

 

[.S&C.]

Great game guys. Way to finish.

 

[ck-2]

Those fouls like the one just called on Lee are ridiculous. That's just a play through.

 

[wildcatwelder]

Lot of positives to take away from this game, IMO.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

WTF how is that a foul on Lee ????

 

[clew84]

It's like Lee is constitutionally incapable of not fouling.

 

[LetsHang#9]

Murray's dad looks like someone owes him money.

 

[The_Answer1313]

People too worried about stall ball

Was absolutely the right decision especially in this game.

Won by 19 too so it's not as if they cut much into it

 

[Bkocats]

happy about the win
a little frustrated by 2nd half play
but wow - Murray was awesome
Humphries darn well better get more minutes, too

 

[crawfords corner]

When did it become illegal for Marcus Lee to go for a rebound. Hell, the Gator player jumped in to him. Call him for the fouls he commits. Not the calls you feel like making up.

 

[LetsHang#9]

Great job defending without fouling gators. We never even made it into the bonus. Home cooking my ***

 

[Kycatspaws]

Murray ties the UK freshman record with 35 points (ties Terrence Jones) on that 3. Also ties the high in the John Calipari era.

 

[hotelblue]

game wasn't complete without the non foul on lee.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Well we still fouled
We just played at such a slow pace it didn't matter (62 possession game)

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

People too worried about stall ball
it

Wisconsin

 

[The_Answer1313]

Maybe this is how the team needs to play.

Obviously not complete stall ball but slow pace so that fouls don't accumulate

 

[timshady]

I will say it again - UK looks good when the refs don't play dirty. Luckily the tourney isn't SEC refs mostly.

UK got some serious love by the refs today. Every run we got on, the refs got whistle happy. This may come as a suprise to some of you but Rupp arena is known for its home cooking.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Losing three straight games under Cal? Nope. Still hasn't happened. Jamal Murray had other ideas. Big time.

 

[Nubb16]

Good win game thread

 

[The_Answer1313]

Wisconsin

I don't agree with that.

First off I don't think we played stall ball in that game.

Second Wisconsin was just as good as we were.

That game was always gonna be a toss up IMO.

 

[stoneycat_20]

Cal is great, but he makes mistakes like everyone and has been wrong before maybe back in the 70's, but someone needs to point it out to him that he has better tallent than everyone else...Stop the stall ball..It has cost us games and almost cost us many..thats why UK never blows teams out...Just stop it and let em play...

 

[crawfords corner]

I hope they don't allow these Florida officials to referee the game down in that dump in Gainesville.

But let's be honest. We don't have better talent than everyone else. Not this season.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Jamal Murray had 35 points tonight, tying Terrence Jones for the most points in a single game in the John Calipari era. Tyler Ulis wasn't too shabby himself, going for 18 points and 11 rebounds and yet another double-double.

Um, no. Total fouls, Fl. 17, UK 18, ft's shot Fl. 20, UK 14. GTFO.
