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

[Bill - Shy Cat]

For the life of me I do not understand why our layers refuse to put the ball off the glass on short shots. We have had at least 7 shots bounce out when they try to finesse it over the rim.

Agree. Increases percentage of success

 

[jewrseyjet0912]

Great job Hagans everyone else take notes

 

[crawfords corner]

Hagans defense is unreal

 

[jameslee32]

Hagans again!!

 

[The_Catfather]

"AND ANOTHER CRIMSON TIDE FOUL!"

Jesus Christ.

 

[ukfan041]

Hagans is such a monster on D!

 

[clew84]

Hagans is a monster on D.

 

[83Cat]

Keldon Johnson is so smooth.

 

[rick64]

So despite a career half by Mack, UK up 2.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Nice D to end the half.

 

[JFCats22]

Without the FT discrepancy this game would be even uglier.

 

[ManitouDan]

Hagans could be considered Defensive POY nationally and for SEC . Dude is a total pest

 

[ala_kat2]

Donate Hall, another dunk.
And another great defensive stop by Hagans at end of half.

 

[SophiesDad]

Some no name has double his ppg average in the 1st half and we’re up 2. I’ll take it

 

[ck-2]

Guard Mack, PJ and Travis quit jacking threes, we win.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

What's Hagans worth at this point? Totally doesn't show up in the boxscore. If he wasn't on the floor Alabama is probably up by 7

 

[crawfords corner]

Hagans is great defensively because he gets down low(uses his quickness and length to disrupt). He gets down lower than the ballhandler. You don't see that very often.

 

[KyCatFan]

We're doing a poor job getting open shots right now. Just reverting back to forcing it into 2 or 3 players. Have to get better at that.

 

[nerdcat]

Fun game to watch.

 

[jewrseyjet0912]

"AND ANOTHER CRIMSON TIDE FOUL!"

Jesus Christ.

All they do is foul

 

[STL_Cat]

Hagans = Cliff Hawkins as a senior. Exactly what I wanted from him.

 

[Ben101er]

Agree. Increases percentage of success

Especially when you are getting bumped in traffic.

 

[oldsports_]

Why does 1 guy always go off against us..................We lost vs Seton Hall because of 1 player don't lose this because of 1 guy.

Uhhh. Because we decide not to guard 1 guy every game?

 

[Roe07]

Absolutely ridiculous we let these random dudes go crazy and make no changes to anything.

This would be like Quickley going for 20 in a half...literally never happens for a UK guy but always happens against us.

Yeah and it's not like it happens once every 10 games, it's every damn game, night after night.

 

[Wildcatclone24]

We pull away down the stretch. We win by 12 I think.

 

[thebluestripes]

mack needs a hair cut

 

[drew_ukfan]

Had to mute and pause for the radio broadcast to catch up, way more enjoyable that way

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Did they go back and give Herro a 2 instead of 3? I thought he was 2-2.

 

[ubtrapper]

Man, what a fun half!

 

[SophiesDad]

Washington has been quiet. Need to get him going

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Without the FT discrepancy this game would be even uglier.

Wow!

 

[BlobUK]

Need to get Herro more shots

 

[Smashcat]

 

[Cardsstink]

Without the FT discrepancy this game would be even uglier.

Without you posting, this game thread would be prettier.

 

[ubtrapper]

What's Hagans worth at this point? Totally doesn't show up in the boxscore. If he wasn't on the floor Alabama is probably up by 7

Agreed! He is becoming a PG that can lead us to a title. He just affects the game in so many ways!

 

[TheDude73]

Mack missing that floater may get into his head in the 2nd half. That and I'm hoping Calipari actually focuses on keeping someone on him. He's not making Seton Hall, Curry-like shots, so defend him and he should chill a bit.

That, and block out the Hall guy so he's not slamming over everyone and keeping the Bama crowd interested.

 

[jewrseyjet0912]

Why does no one ever set a high screen for Tyler

 

[warrior-cat]

We need to recognize earlier when a player has it going for him against us. Next half will have more fouls called against us. I believe Cal with have someone shadow Mack.

 

[rick64]

Why does it always seem like UK has trouble finishing at the rim?!? Or am I crazy? Maybe I shouldn’t ask.

 

[Smashcat]

Washington has been quiet. Need to get him going

Yep. PJ has to be active for UK to succeed.
