*****Texas A&M @ Kentucky official game thread*****

[Fox2monk]

Can’t play much worse and we are still in it.

 

[FirewithFire]

Oweh couldn't get by a one legged man. Ridiculous.

 

[MbergCat]

Wtf

 

[Farsight]

Another shit call, bro was moving and not planted

 

[the nail at the foul line]

BS

 

[NociHTTP]

I'm really encouraged. We're playing tougher than I've seen all year. We look great; just not making shots... YET

We look great? LOL...

 

[JFCats22]

This is freaking embarrassing

 

[clew84]

These refs man. Block all day.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

And that's why Rupp absolutely sucks. At good home courts the team feeds off the crowd. At Rupp the crowd only reacts if the team does something good. This is the 11th ranked team in the country, Rupp should have been deafening since tip.

Do you think the Miss. St. crowd only cheered when Miss St. was doing good things on Saturday? No. They were loud the whole time to try to make it a hostile environment. According to Kenpom, Rupp is the 35th best home court advantage in the country. For Kentucky basketball that is AWFUL.

You know, I've shifted my stance on Cal over the last year. Can't defend him

But this was something we were told would be fixed with Pope. Here we are, Rupps crowd really not doing much for us, the calls are no better... there's a lot of things to blame Cal for, but also a lot of problems that were beyond him..

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Worst home whistle in the country

 

[bbncal02]

Basketball rewards faking flopping. Basketball is the new soccer.

 

[katwest]

Wow, it’s being called like it’s on their home floor.

 

[Seth_C]

And there is another “**** kentucky” ref call that has repeatedly gone the other way for the other team. It’s gross. Unwatchable.

 

[CatPhight]

Soft and weak

 

[TriCountyCat]

This is Billy Gillespie bad

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

I really hate TAM

 

[ukcatz12]

A thing after the phrase “ according to Kenpom “ should be totally ignored .. he doesn’t know shit .. absolutely zero .. he’s a turd .

It's pretty easy to statistically analyze how valuable a home court is. And Rupp is not nearly as valuable as it should be.

 

[shaudyshaud]

No excuse for starting slow at home

 

[Farsight]

We better wake the eff up and go on a run.

 

[maysvilleky]

How can UK get such an anti-bias whistle at home?

 

[SophiesDad]

Dykes said he was in legal guarding position? Lmao he’s gaslighting hard

 

[the nail at the foul line]

And once again our opponent gets to the bonus before we do.

 

[NociHTTP]

Nobody is working to get open when we go inside.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Got to hit a few shots

Student section on one sideline.
Have the shoot around at Rupp no matter what it takes.
Review officiating after games.

You'd add 2-3 wins a year..

 

[JPFisher]

Ain't no damn way A&M has fewer fouls than we do right now. Two fewer at that. It's really tough watching CBB today, folks. It is damn-near exhausting.

 

[MbergCat]

A&M fouls EVERY trip down the floor and has two less fouls than us. Why do we always get such an awful whistle?!?

 

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

I’m really tired of watching our players get dunked on

At some point you put someone on their butt.

 

[wccat2969]

Watching to the Aggie TV network.

 

[CrimsonCats]

I give up trying to figure out what an offensive foul is. That Oweh drive goes against us multiple times per game on defense with the announcers praising what a tough physical drive it was.

 

[ala_kat2]

We’re scoring one point per minute so far.

 

[TheWyldKat]

A and M playing damn good defense

We can’t get a decent shot off

 

[BigRickWithTheBig___Suv]

the hail is this?

 

[bbncal02]

GIve A&M credit. Playing out of their ass on defense.

 

[Ugoff]

Will we ever have a block/charge call go our way?

 

[bigblue1971]

100% the least physical team in the SEC.

 

[TriCountyCat]

That was a bad call, Ansley probably didn’t get fouled

 

[mrjuk]

Can’t hit, so just keep fouling us

 

[CatPhight]

Spike the ice cream with testosterone...

 

[Butters' Dad]

Texas A&M is just daring us to beat them from deep and we haven’t been able to hit a 3

They are closing off the paint and forcing us to shoot from 3 to beat them. Can we? Remains to be seen.
