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

[LmdCat]

Playing in this pace and we will definitely lose..

We are allowing them to play their game. For the first time, I have no choice but to yell at Pope. He needs to get this team to play the right way.

 

[Worf88]

Letting teams like this hang around in the first half is how your ass gets sent home early. Now they think they can play with us and beat us. You have to get up on these teams early and not let up. Pathetic showing so far and honestly it’s what we should have expected given Pope’s resume in the tournament. We’ve done all regular season what his past teams have done so why would the post season be different?

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Williams back to not trying to block shots again.

Drives me nuts.

 

[wccat2969]

Cooper Campbell needs to get put on his ass next time he drives

We don't have anyone capable of doing that.

 

[Farsight]

We don't look prepared at all. The substitutions are killing us again.

I swear we better NOT lose this game.

 

[AshWilliams]

This is not a sweet sixteen team

 

[Digger-Cat]

No desperation, just playing like they got this. Trust me, you don't got this.

 

[ukfan117]

Letting this team hang around is going to cost them the game.

Williams and Brea playing for shit.

And another senseless turnover

 

[FirewithFire]

This is just dumb basketball. This team simply doesn't look prepared to play. The ball should be pounded inside to force double teams to free up our shooters.

Someone pay this man 9M dollars. Hell, make him the coach since the current one doesn't seem to get it.

 

[catsfan3383]

Terrible lineups, rushed shots, too many threes, not going to our obvious advantage of in the paint…..letting an inferior team hang around is not a good idea in March

 

[KyLegacy]

Really surprised with the offense this game. I saw the starting line ups and thought for sure we would be pounding the ball inside all game. Guess not?

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

I've seen this game for the last 2 years

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

This has all the pieces for another embarrassing loss.

 

[GoNoles111]

Amari Williams just provided zero resistance in that last Troy basket. In what should have been a pretty straightforward block attempt. So frustrating

He's obviously being coached to do that. You need to yell at Pope.

 

[Big10Cat]

Did the team spend a bunch of time sightseeing? Reminds me of the Ohio State effort.

 

[fatguy87]

I've got us at about 29 possessions so far.

We are well below 1 point per possession. This game is close because we've been terrible on offense.

 

[Fox2monk]

I can handle a loss in the second round. It would hurt, but it would kinda be oh well. A loss tonight is unacceptable. Troy is not a good team.

No they aren’t, they freaking suck. Even an average performance and we should win by 10+.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Here is a crazy idea. Maybe we should try to rebound our misses.

That takes effort and seriousness . Lacking that on the rebounding side.

 

[Chief Paducah]

This feels like that crapfest we had against TX. You knew we were the better team but never got a rhythm.

 

[BigRickWithTheBig___Suv]

This is some really ugly ass basketball

 

[KyLegacy]

Getting out rebounded….yikes

 

[Jamal Sunburn]

I really don't enjoy watching this year's squad play. Not one bit. In fact, I actually loathe most of the players on the team outside of like 4 guys.

 

[ManitouDan]

Mark is using to many damn players

THIS , and its obvious .. how can you get going when you pull 2 starters 3.5 min utes in ?????? Analytics my ass . Stupidity !!!!

 

[Roe07]

stupid TO after stupid TO

 

[LmdCat]

Bad pass after bad pass!!!

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Starters have played about 5 mins together??? If that. I really do hope Pope succeeds, but this is one of the main reasons I absolutely despised Cal at the end. Just play the best dudes together. FML.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Why hurry

 

[crawfords corner]

Garrison has 4 shots. Carr 3 Williams 2.

The defense has been atrocious. Score is low because of pace.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

1/8 from 3

 

[Seth_C]

If we try another half court pass for no goddamn reason I’m cutting someone’s head off. Holy ****, Pope. Use your bench as punishment please I BEG you.

 

[JFCats22]

We just keep throwing the ball away. Stop with the full court passes !

 

[wccat2969]

Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

 

[gharding07]

5 turnovers against these losers

 

[ukfan041]

Absolutely pathetic so far!

 

[GoNoles111]

2 possessions and Noah's been abused both times.


GET HIM OUT PLEASE

 

[FiveStarCat]

We have at least 3 turnovers on dumb ass half court passes. Just play straight up

 

[NociHTTP]

I wonder if Pope is stressing because he knows the critics will be loud if he loses yet again in the first round.

And Oweh with another dumb pass.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Dumbest team man. Oweh makes that stupid ass pass. Kentucky is doing whatever Troy needs them to do for Troy to win

 

[Jamal Mercer]

We have such a dumb team.

No idea what it takes to build a lead. This Troy team absolutely sucks.

 

[ala_kat2]

ANOTHER BAD PASS! SMDH
