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

Yeah I know, I don’t mean anything just saying it was a better prediction than I expected.

I thought they’d be a middle of the pack NCAA tournament team. Maybe out on day one.

Pope’s done a great job thus far because this teams ceiling is much higher now than I think any of us honestly thought it would be


BUT we have serious defensive and physical toughness issues at times. And it manifests itself in rebounding a lot. We don’t have to be the Bad Boy Pistons but we cannot give up second chance opportunities like we do.

Heck yeah dude! Glad you had a good time and Win! Now you have to attend every game until they lose again sorry.

If my moms boss wants to give up his tickets every game I will gladly take them

Yeah he’s a beast and a definite AA in my eyes.

Butler is so important to the team, but we do need more point production from him. After his fantastic Louisville game he hasn’t had very good offensive numbers. I think he’s playing hurt.

This foul call had a lot of people pissed, in person it looked terrible, but I didn’t know it was this bad

Went to the game. Nice win against a good team. Outrebounded them. That was great to see. Definitely some questionable calls. They showed them in the arena on the big screen.

Bring on Bama!!

No doubt, I think most of us predicted a round a top 5 SEC finish before we knew exactly how tough it was with a round of 32 or sweet 16 type ceiling. Now we could do a lot more. Lots of hard games left but even now we have a resume that is a lock to get in. Pretty amazing this early. Just keep winning at home and steal a couple on the road at a UT or something and we will be golden.

Buzz barely shook Pope’s hand. Hardly even looked at him. 🤣

These free throws are infuriating me! No excuse for any guard to be under 70%.

Why did you stop posting after we went up in 2nd half? 😆

Math is good but it isn’t infallible

 

[Digger-Cat]

I'd probably rather they not be coming off an L when we play on Sat, but I'll take it.

Yup, we were going to get their best shot anyway.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

We jumped up to 76th in defense in KP.. almost 10 spots higher.

When you consider the talent we've had to play against, compared to someone like, say Duke.. it makes sense why Kentucky has a little bit more trouble keeping it's opponents PPP down lol.

We were at #3 in offensive efficiency. Bama was 2

He has a really inspiring story overcoming what he has and I personally think he’s the SECN’s best bball analyst

I hear enough of Slays mouth here in Nashville, Fishback is boring and mediocre and Shooter is annoying

Yes I was reading that
I’m impressed and humbled.
Amazing story and amazing person

Offensive player took his elbows into Butler's face ..... as to those of you dogging Butler , STFU !!!!! He's our best player and lays his body on the line . Plays his guts out ... leave him alone

My comment was about how he refused to shoot the 8 footer wide open 3 times. And just because he's good doesn't mean he is immune to message board comments. Get a grip.

 

[Digger-Cat]

I really like Patric Young, he's a very well mannered and professional guy.
When he was at Florida, he was a beast, I had no idea he was this kind of guy.

Hey any chance you can jump 10 spots in defense metrics playing a top12 team, with THAT officiating.. you take it.
