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

[HenryMuto]

Sigh

 

[Seth C]

Thank God for Booker.

 

[Bluest Member]

3 point shooting is the only thing working right now,need to start scoring inside with some pick and rolls and back door cuts,spread their defense out some

 

[wildcatdonf]

When we learn an inbounds play please let me know.

 

[loublue22]

we are going to lose

 

[catfan_72]

Harrison's body language back to being pouty. They have got to man up and play tough.

 

[HenryMuto]

The defense is a concern what used to be our strength our rock we are not stopping anyone the last 2 games.

How is A&M up 16-2 in the paint ?

 

[crazyqx83]

They are getting layups and we are getting bitched. What a joke.

 

[3 fan]

Cal it's ok to play zone

 

[Aces Fan]

Our bigs are so weak under the basket.

 

[FilsonCat]

That block was all arm.

 

[Kerry Kat]

Calipari getting out coached in the SEC. This is more than energy. It's spacing and execution. Cal doesn't have them ready at all.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Encouraging to UK's future opponents when you can score at will in the paint against them.

 

[catben]

Why can't our bigs score in the post?!!!!!

 

[tmuck]

Cauley Stein was hacked on the wrist.

 

[mrj-uk]

WCS FOULED !!!!

 

[FlCATFan]

I love Ulis but thought we'd see more slashing to the rim than we've seen from him this year.

 

[CatsRWild]

LOL love the slow mo replay of 2 Aggies hitting WCS on the arms and not getting any ball on that last shot.

 

[ukbowl2006]

Well, no help from the refs on that "block."

 

[zannmann]

Defense is horrific.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Best thing for this team is get their asses kicked today.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

This team deserves this - if you're not going to toughen up, it'll get worse before it gets better. If we lose, we lose.

 

[HenryMuto]

Maybe we should schedule more road games during the non conf season so they can learn how to play on the road we play like 10 home games every year.

 

[UKGrad93]

Cats are getting punked.

 

[crazyqx83]

This is pathetic.

 

[mdlUK.1]

WCS hammered, no call.

 

[Bluest Member]

A&M getting away with a lot of contact in the paint.

That said Cats look like they are only giving 50%

 

[clew84]

Unlike the last game, this feels to me like a loss coming.

Our bigs are weak. No idea what has happened here. Can't finish, getting beat to rebounds. What was up with WCS a not challenging that drive??

 

[KENTUCKYCATS]

That's the problem with having so much size - we don't get the calls in the paint because we don't get moved around as much when we get hit. Thus, in the refs eyes, it must not be a foul.

 

[catfan_72]

I think it would be good for this team to get beat. I wonder if the whole "undefeated" moniker is messing with the young guys?

 

[Altro Cat]

I didn't really worry too much about losing to Ole Miss because I knew at some point they would start missing all those tough jumpers they were taking. I can't say the same about A&M because they keep getting layups, can't expect a team to start missing layups.

 

[K-Town Kat]

Refs letting A&M get away with a lot defensively.

 

[Seth C]

If we are going to win this game it will have to be because of defense at this point. I know they can play it. I sure hope they decide to do so.

 

[Kycatspaws]

A&M has 20 points from the paint.

[BourbonBalz]

I think the team is really missing Alex's toughness and momentum plays.

 

[FilsonCat]

They are letting A&M hack and shove on every shot. Why can't we ever get a home whistle like this?

 

[tmuck]

Billy freakin Kennedy with a sh!tty squad coaching circles around Cal's NBA team right now.

Agree. It's not like we were "pretty good" on defense and now we aren't quite as good. We were defensive world beaters and now we are getting our arses handed to us. It's bizarre.

 

[jackcarlson]

you guys need to chill! They will pull it together here

 

[wromanp7]

I never thought I would see a game that our frontcourt shows no poise, heart, IQ.. like this.
