UK at Bama Game Thread! Go Cats!

[13space82]

Those two are 3-for-12. You think it's the refs, right?

You can’t make every shot you take. The law of averages will hopefully come around. bama has made some tough shots. Need to hit a better clip on our free throws.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Brea gotta shoot, stop hesitating, when he has a crack he has to let it go.

 

[yes_takeaside]

Can’t pull the upset when u miss your FTs. Lost 5 points at the line in the last 10 minutes

 

[NociHTTP]

Tough to compete for 40 mins on the road down 2 key starters. It is what it is. Impressive start but wasn't sustainable. Not over yet but gonna be tough.

We're not down because of missing two key starters. At one point in the first half we were looking to blow the game wide open. It's Pope's obsession with substitutions. He reminds me of former Reds coach David Bell and HIS double-switches late in every game. He's also got guys who are currently playing who have psychological blocks. Amari backing man down and then passes when he could score. Otega driving to hoop and regardless of traffic refuses to pass.

 

[SemperFiCat]

What you're seeing is simple; great def on one end, and a not good defense on the other. Have to even that up some, hit FTs, and get a little luck. Let's not forget how good Alabama is.

 

[runt#69]

Amazing we're not down by more

regroup.

MUST HIT FREE THROWS
(kills me)

 

[ThunderMash]

I can see there being a close tournament game in the final minutes, and the other team fouls Kentucky on purpose to send them to the line. Big weakness that must be improved. Come on, Cats!!

 

[HenryMuto]

Down 23-17 on the glass

We went 4/9 FT's
They went 8/9 FT's

game in a nutshell

 

[crawfords corner]

Nelson hasnt done shiz and were still down 7

-6 on the boards
4-9 from ft line(Bama 8-9)

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

This team has ruined way too many of my Saturdays. Need to win this one. Make it right.

 

[Dreklie]

Ok, keep crying like now. It's fun. You sound rustled. It's okay sweetheart, you sound worked up over nothing. Do we need a wellness check...dont hurt yourself

not rustled in the slightest, just letting you know that you are literally irrelevant to me lol.

 

[Blue wood]

another loss

Your still a loser

 

[hotelblue]

may as well zone, keep backing them down on offense, and pray they miss a bunch of threes. meh

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

Line up changes took the momentum away from us!

No it didn't, having Carr on the bench for nearly 50 percent of half changed the whole game. The ONLY way you win this game is score which was what Carr was doing. His replacements Almanor and and " Mountian Mamba gave us nothing

 

[CrimsonCats]

We really miss Butler today. Sears is just going wherever he wants with Perry guarding him, and that gets Alabama’s entire offense revved up. Game definitely isn’t over at this point, but we need to come up with a way to at least slow him down a bit for a comeback to be likely.

When it was 30-18 I thought wow we really might win this

 

[YankeeCpt]

Bout ready to mute this crap

 

[crawfords corner]

Bama 22-6 bench scoring

 

[JFCats22]

2 out of the last three games with absolutely ridiculous meltdowns.

 

[BC_Wader]

Hasn't ruined mine. For me it is what it is. The fact that THIS current group of guys can get up 12 against this team on the road speaks voulmes. Yeah we're losing now but step back and look at our team. Pope is a heck of a coach. The good times will come with a healthy roster. Gotta be the most snake bit team in the Country.

Gonna be tough missing 2 starters. It’s tough for freshman in this environment against a great team.

 

[ck-2]

I’m with you.

 

[ala_kat2]

Well, to be fair, our two big guys Williams and Garrison missed 4 of the nine. Noah 0-1. We need Oeeh to do his second half scoring to stay in this game.

 

[HenryMuto]

Down 7 and Grant Nelson has 0 pts and 2 other starters have 2 pts

That is 3 of their starters with a combined 2 pts

 

[crawfords corner]

UK starters 34-25

 

[HenryMuto]

4/9 FT's is actually 4/10 since 1 was front end

 

[runt#69]

without Butler and Jax, these guys just simply matchup difficult for our lineup. plain and simple.

Have to step up HUGE for everybody to come back to win this one. Gotta hang tough. come out hard in the second half, first five minutes of the second half will be huge.

Guess I missed the part where the game is already over. These Franziskaner's aren't THAT strong!

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Some of the same people before the game said we were gonna get run out of the building are the same ones chatting as though they are about to go jump off a bridge when we are down 7. No idea how that is consistent 🤦‍♂️

 

[HenryMuto]

Oweh streak in trouble only 2 pts so far

 

[The_Answer1313]

They have ONE less offensive rebound(16) than we have TOTAL(17)!!!!!

This is WHY we can't win these types of games.

For some reason, our guys just want to stand and WATCH on the road. It's not that way at home. ODD

That's not accurate. They have seven offensive rebounds.

 

[catben]

Yes, but Sears has ABUSED us!!!

Perry AND Chandler HAVE TO make shots AND take care of the ball to offset their HORRIBLE defense.

 

[UKCat4Ever]

I'm not able to physically watch the game, so I don't know if this has changed at all, but one of the dumbest things I've seen is that banner or whatever it is in Alabama's gym that says "TRADITION." Tradition of what? Mediocrity? Doing OK in a historically mediocre conference? I could see if they had some all time greats like Shaq or Pistol Pete, but...

Kentucky football: TRADITION.

There are bigger things to think about here, but I always wonder about that.

 

[gbl97]

Holloway carrying them. He's hard to stop.

 

[runt#69]

Gators 50
LSU 49

12:00 even in the second half

 

[fastpaste101]

Sears ability to drive the paint is amazing…considering he has 3 grown men hanging from his jock.

I think you read the box score wrong bro. But I get what you’re saying. We’re back to ball watching.

 

[catben]

That's not accurate. They have seven offensive rebounds.

You are right. I was looking at Def. Reb.'s.
