****** OFFICIAL NCAAT Troy Vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[mrjuk]

We HAVE to want this MORE than THEM
DAMMIT!!!

 

[catfan220]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a player interview at halftime, isn't it always coaches? Wonder if UK specifically okayed that

 

[katwest]

We are going to have to finish them off, otherwise they are going to be on us like flies on a rib roast all night.

 

[bbncal02]

That was the most shitty, worst coached first half we have played all season.

I have NO idea what Pope was doing for half that half.

 

[Farsight]

Amari attempts to flip it in, then STANDS THERE and watches it roll out. No attempt to grab the miss.

He's going back to his old ways and he needs to stop that shit right now

 

[FiveStarCat]

Amari is so frustrating man. Has AA flashes and then just does the dumbest shit, or acts like he’d rather be doing literally anything else. One of the most extreme feasts or famine players we’ve ever had

 

[wldktz8]

i don’t understand giving up a WIDE open shot with 5 on the shot clock. that was big ****ing shot. ****!

It happens.

 

[crawfords corner]

Defend and dish Butler. Thats your game if u have a torn labrum. Only shoot the open 3s or layups. Any other shot become a playmaker.

 

[Zuma75]

Big second half, let’s go!!!

 

[Noxium322]

In 15 years basketball will consist of 11 vs 11 with blockers and tackling.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Look better, clean up the self inflicted errors and we win going away

 

[KyLegacy]

Wow, not sure if I have ever seen a half time interview with a player? Kinda odd

 

[OmahaCats]

Amari doesn’t even attempt to get out on that 3 out of bounds and then on his drive just watched and posed after shooting instead of trying to rebound his own shot. SMH

You take the very good with the little bad with him. I still wouldn’t trade him with many other centers

My whole watch party yelled about that.

 

[FirewithFire]

Outside of a 1:30 second stretch that was an absolute disaster of a half. I hope this team is a still the second half type.

He should try to dunk everything within 3feet. Instead he plays soft and throws up prayers. Great passer but that’s about it.

They have been doing it all tournament

They've been doing it for every game this tourney.

 

[Seth_C]

Beat and bang all game then 2 ticky tacks on Noah and Carr.

But zero moving screens called on Troy. Zero holding fouls on Troy. Despite them doing both every single possession. Nevermind the obvious travels the refs just choose to ignore.

 

[BigRickWithTheBig___Suv]

gotta be a whole lot better in the 2nd half

 

[ukjenning44]

I agree with a previous post that the announcers are the best we’ve had.

 

[StubbornPenny]

By my count the game started around 7:17, and it’s only 8:09 now… fast game

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Noah started this run... hope none of you forget after this Win.

Yes Pope just lets his bench play too many minutes play the guys who got you there the most unless injured or in foul trouble

 

[OmahaCats]

Give up a wide open 3 on the inbounds, with 5 seconds on the shot clock. Mind-blowing

An error. But we’re fine

 

[HenryMuto]

[mrjuk]

He enjoyed that three.

He’s usually a better free throw shooter

 

[hotelblue]

Never seen a player interviewed at halftime

been going on this tournament.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Ride the starters the bulk of the second half. Let's go!

I thought I saw the same thing yesterday, but can't remember who the player was. But I was thinking the same thing yesterday, very surprised they did it

 

[Fox2monk]

Look bad. Butler has been awful.

Poor guy is giving it his all he’s just a shell of himself. Can we pick up Chuck Hepburn off the FA list since he’s out now?

 

[gharding07]

What a nightmare of a half. Troy makes one basket in the last 5:00 and it’s only an 8 point game

We should be up 15

 

[bbncal02]

It happens.

Too damn much with us.

 

[ukfan117]

Missing those FT's makes your stomach knot up and wide open 3's because of no defense

Kentucky boy lit a fire under our asses that was needed!. To bad that tv timeout kinda mellowed our momentum

He's the reason why Kentucky's ahead at halftime.

 

[Digger-Cat]

There's such a weird feel to this game, but not just this one, so many other games in the NCAAT are just odd.
Seems like it's harder to win games, regardless of the opponent.

He can't make a layup either.

Poythress was one of the worst IMO.

 

[hotelblue]

if we could quit committing these stupid fouls...sheeeet

we had fouls to give. but your point still stands.

 

[Nuke99m]

Look bad. Butler has been awful.

Butler looks like he is about 60%.

 

[michaeluk26]

I have NO idea what Pope was doing for half that half.

Same.

Sec should learn how to make officiating
