Let’s keep it up. GBB!!

 

[TucsonCat]

Good call ref.

Keep shooting Chandler.
More 3s

Illinois coach looks like mad eye moody

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Chandler jacking them up from Curry range.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Jesus man. Yes. There’s a huge argument to be made. I swear. I’m happy for the kid and think his ceiling is good, but let’s have some perspective.

Chandler has become our best defender this side of Butler. On fire from 3 and great vision. It’s not that far fetched considering he doesn’t play nearly the same minuees

 

[ck-2]

you’d hate to see where we would have been without him.

I agree, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s killing us tonight.

 

[zannmann]

Fouls are a little uneven considering how many turnovers they have.

 

[mrjuk]

Dare I say, we're playing pretty good right now?

Sssshhhh lol

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Good time for a timeout

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Refs trying to keep IL n it.

UK should be up like 15 to 16.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Defense came to play so far. Wow

 

[BC_Wader]

Man what could be right now. We should be up by at least 15.

 

[LowerLevelSeatA]

Looks like game where we breathe on them it’s a foul. Look for us to be in foul trouble coming down stretch in 2nd half.

 

[Farsight]

Keep it up Kentucky. Make it a 20 point lead so BBN can be breathe better lol

 

[Kantucke]

Won another 4 minute segment, keep it up

 

[Seth_C]

Really don’t like the whistles the last 2 minutes. Illinois hasn’t taken advantage but it feels like the refs are trying to teal the game back in and help Illinois close the gap

That’s because they are. The way the line moved (money!) it shouldn’t be shocking. They have their orders. They absolutely will do all they can get away with to control the game. Can’t do that if we are up 20.

 

[Cat in ga]

I know their coach isn’t bitching about the calls

 

[KyLegacy]

Love the energy of the guys.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

They can’t guard us. You just can’t get ready for our offense in 2 days.

 

[onearmedjesus]

Chandler is a gunner. Never met an open look he didn't like. As long as he hits 50% of them, I am fine with those.

 

[kyleb740]

Need to setup a drive out of this timeout. The refs owe us a cheap foul or two and will call it

 

[Chief Paducah]

The kids are playing hard. Keep it up. Love the defensive intensity so far.

 

[GLR5555]

Gotta ask. Is that Big Zs brother?

 

[TheDude73]

So they have called three very …… questionably weak….. fouls on us over the last few possessions. Like the officials can’t let UK get too far ahead. The anti-Duke whistle.

Same guy. Bald white old dude. He’s called almost all of the UK fouls.

 

[megablue]

Illinois coach looks like mad eye moody

He looks like he’s ready for a six-pack at the half … !!

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

I see Jeb Hartness a official we use in the SEC has continued his suckage.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Is that Z’s father or brother? Dude looks older than Greg Oden

 

[JAPierce_2]

Getting cold. Come on boys....keep it up.

They keep defending like they have, creating live ball TO’s Illinois is in trouble.

 

[wildcat_nation28]

kentucky needs to take off so I can relax in second half

 

[JPFisher]

I'd like for them to let us play a little more, but overall, decent first half performance so far. Keep the gas pedal down, Fellas. Run them out of the building.

 

[will1976]

Gotta ask. Is that Big Zs brother?

Yep

 

[ConRay9]

Keep this up Cats. Limit those fouls and get to halftime out of foul trouble.

 

[HenryMuto]

They have 8 turnovers we have 1 so far that is your game in a nutshell

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Fouls adding up on us need to calm down in that dept but playing really good basketball team basketball

 

[hotelblue]

they will give us a call that is so bad it covers up the the preceding screw job. we got a possession. they got 4 fouls on us in not 2 minutes.

 

[jusballin32]

That was a bullshit foul call on us for Ivisic

 

[megablue]

Gotta ask. Is that Big Zs brother?

Yes … twin.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Have to get the lead to 20 before the team fouls out

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Tired of the Cooper Flag commercials.

 

[BC_Wader]

Our D is looking great so far.
