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

[ck-2]

Quickley is a guy I’d like to see get some of our big men’s jumpers.

 

[SophiesDad]

Great rebound and kick out by Reid. Beautiful

 

[kywildcat41086]

What has happened to Richards at the free throw line?

I know last year he was almost money!

 

[ManitouDan]

Cal should've never ever put the bench in at the beginning of the game ever since then Mississippi State has been able to stay in this game!!!!!! I love Calipari but this goes back to the questionable coaching that he does sometimes!

My 87 year old mother said the same . We were rolling and he subbed really early .

 

[MbergCat]

Q has an odd looking release.

 

[ConRay9]

Very glad Miss. St. can't buy a bucket from three. It's about time that worked out in our favor at home.

Big three right there. Gotta put our foots on their throats now. C'mon Cats!

 

[JFCats22]

Huge three there by Quickley!

 

[ABlockalypseBrow]

I loved Hagans getting in Quickley’s face and them jawing good-naturedly. Team seems like they’re in a good headspace.

 

[ala_kat2]

Quickley is money from three!

 

[Bkocats]

I know last year he was almost money!

I think he’s frustrated with himself

 

[Dward13]

Edwards is on his visit. Bet he likes the morgue. Glad were winning.

Our fans more than any other just expect to win. Expect to play well. Expect to be entertained. It’s more like watching performance art to many of them.

Not always a good thing obviously but it’s something else that separates UK basketball from the best of cbb.

 

[StevieJFTW07]

Lmao..did Coach Cal take Richards out for missing free throws ? God, I hope so. You brick two free throws and you sit. It should be a rule.

 

[Mash 2.4]

We are playing hard. The intensity has picked up the last few games and that's what was missing. Still a work in progress but this is how hard Cals good teams play.

 

[BigBlueNole]

Richards is right on the cusp. He is moving better than I have ever seen.

 

[new era cat]

I like Reid's attitude. Not a good shooting night so kill the boards.
Experience right there...

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Disappointed Elton John is not in the house tonight

 

[kywildcat41086]

I think he’s frustrated with himself

I agree with you

 

[BBUK]

I think he’s frustrated with himself

Nah, that's Reid...

 

[hotelblue]

they cannot score in the half court. weird game but would be a big win nonetheless. we have i think 4 missed dunks and several hard to explain turnovers.

 

[bookerfan66]

I love Nick's effort tonight.He has really improved.

 

[jameslee32]

Reid needs to make that pass everytime on an offensive board unless no one is in between him and the basket.

Beautiful look.

 

[kywildcat41086]

Reid Travis is playing really good defense tonight!

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

PJ 333333333333333!!!!!!!

 

[jameslee32]

PJ for 3!!!

 

[Bkocats]

As my husband says:
SPLAPPA!

 

[JFCats22]

PJ with a three that just may put this game away!!

 

[SophiesDad]

Washington should be a 16 ppg scorer every night

 

[kyjeff1]

Yup, Washington should never shoot threes. I read that somewhere

 

[HenryMuto]

I am really impressed on how Washington has improved his shot from last year to this year especially that 3 point stroke.

 

[new era cat]

We are playing hard. The intensity has picked up the last few games and that's what was missing. Still a work in progress but this is how hard Cals good teams play.

It has been missing in chunks in the past few seasons unfortunately...

 

[MbergCat]

That's why I'm good with PJ taking threes sometimes.

 

[Bkocats]

PJ ballin

 

[DanDrungus]

Really glad these guys weren't hitting their 3s, but they have only had a couple wide open

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Were playing as a team which is very nice to see

 

[HenryMuto]

I sure hope PJ is that rare 4 year Kentucky player

 

[jameslee32]

Reid Travis is playing really good defense tonight!

They're all playing very hard. Not too smart with the ball at times. Pulling away though.

 

[CB3UK]

Well Ive bitched alot about PJ being a stretch 4, but tonight hes looking natural at it finally. Gotta give him credit.

 

[*CatinIL*]

PJ looking good right now!

 

[DanDrungus]

Sorry for jinxing

 

[ConRay9]

Never understood the gripes about PJ shooting from 3. He's got a great looking stroke. He's taken some ill-advised shots but he's shooting a good percentage.

If he takes over a game--which he is right now, we become EXTREMELY hard to beat.
