[Kantucke]

Butler just rusty, he'll come around. He sure is fighting

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Nice.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Up and down. Looking good now.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Oweh was fouled

I have to do it.

 

[Farsight]

We should win this game. Thank God. Got this out of the way.

 

[FiveStarCat]

That’s the Butler we need. Wreak havoc and throw dimes

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Blowout, what we needed.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Oweh’s like, “this is how you dunk dumbsh!t” lol

 

[BassProCat]

Good answer Cats

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

And now we can feel better. As bad as you can play and be up 20. Wow. If we play like this on offense next game it might by sayonara

 

[ck-2]

Pope should’ve pulled Williams and still be in his face screaming.

 

[KyLegacy]

Thank you. I needed that run in my life.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

21 points isn’t enough at the 10 min mark. 30 I’d say . Or 20 around the 4 min mark

Hence why I said see how the game would go and bring back if necessary. Chandler was doing well on the floor when they were making that run to get it up to 20. It is messing with fire having Butler in there at the risk of the rest of the tournament. I just want to get out of this game safely without any more injuries. Not interested in running the score up.

 

[Chief Paducah]

I’m so glad Pope is our coach. I feel like this is the type of game we would have let Troy come back in years past.

 

[Digger-Cat]

These refs sure are different than the normal SEC crew.

Yeah, this officiating is awesome.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

good run, good to see Brea get one down

 

[crawfords corner]

Now that was some nice hustle from Butler

 

[JwUKFan11]

Let’s goooooo! An NCAA tournament win!!!!!

 

[permdaddy]

Williams is ****ing atrocious

He's not, that's what's so maddening when he does this crap.

 

[LmdCat]

Please put Butler on the bench before he injures himself again tonight. We don't need him driving into traffic like that.

 

[ukwazoo]

Victory!

 

[bbncal02]

Did Oweh just bounce that off his own head in the basket?!

 

[DraftCat]

Pope gets his first W in his first year.... wasn't pretty but it wasn't Oakland or St. Peters

 

[BassProCat]

Amari gonna give me a stroke at age 39

 

[hotelblue]

oweh rested, dropping the hammer.

our bench with 22 tonight. should have been more.

brea quietly had a good game. 4-8, 10 points, 4 assists, 1 block, zero turnovers.

 

[wldktz8]

I swear to all that is holy, Mark Pope if you play stall ball I am driving to Milwaukee and kicking your ass. You're too damn good of a coach to do that shit.

You need to play stall ball to a degree in this tournament.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Williams trying to throw the game ??

Telling Dickinson anything you can do, I can do better.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Let Perry finish the game. He hasn't got his yet and will be needed Sunday.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

We are 3 minutes away from lifting the monkey that Mark Pope has never won a tournament game.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

And now we can feel better. As bad as you can play and be up 20. Wow. If we play like this on offense next game it might by sayonara

I'm just happy that we're going to be in the second round for once.

23 wins with this banged up team is an incredible achievement.

 

[HenryMuto]

To be fair we would be up 30 if Williams made half his layups

 

[wccat2969]

Pope's first victory in NCAA tournament. Wasn't pretty. BTW, Williams just missed another layup.

 

[will1976]

We are Very fortunate Troy has No bench!

 

[fatguy87]

UK is 8/17 on layups/dunks tonight

Seriously. We could be up 30 easy.

 

[bbncal02]

Butler busting his ass.
Why don't we keep him on the court

Because he's just that hurt. Man, what I'd give to have him healthy

 

[GLR5555]

Somewhere JFCats22 is throwing a hissy fit.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

He's not, that's what's so maddening when he does this crap.

Yep not a fan of Amari on offense today. Gave up probably ten points with silly decisions instead of just finishing

 

[ck-2]

Cut Williams some slack, for all we know he’s on his period.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

That Amari play was worse than Justin Edwards against Oakland. Will be “Sportscenter Not Top 10” for sure.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

Amari is frustrating. Great outlet pass. He does many things well. But for the love of all things blue, dunk the focking ball.
