UK at Bama Game Thread! Go Cats!

[Blue wood]

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

We're missing 2 starters so.............

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

When Garrison is in the game rebou ding seems to stop

 

[UKWildcats1987]

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.

I'm sorry but u can't play the same 5 guys 40 mins. Hence missing 2 starters is the issue.

Terry F now!

Your still a loser

ok let me guess your big time?

 

[tomrain]

Garrison sucked the momentum out of us with the one on one dribbling, turnover and fall away shot. Then not even close on the free throws. He did the same exact thing vs Texas.

 

[rick64]

Amari sat 6 minutes in the 1st half with zero fouls. 🤷‍♂️ WTH??!!

 

[runt#69]

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.

Good question

 

[HenryMuto]

Cats better come out for the 2nd half the same way they started the game or this could get ugly

 

[FirewithFire]

Not having Carr on the floor for 3/4 of a half killed us. I'm sure the refs didn't mean to sit out best player in the game or anything. Kind of like when we go to North Carolina and have our entire starting line up sitting on the pine. Whatever it takes I guess.

Bama fans chanting USA…mouth breathing mofos.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Worst rebounding Ky team I’ve ever seen. Other than maybe ‘21?

 

[fatguy87]

They have 7 offensive boards out of 19 opportunities, ~37%

We have 5 offensive boards out of 21 opportunities, ~24%

Overall, they’ve taken 2 more shots

 

[HenryMuto]

Imagine if Kentucky going 8-10 in the SEC and Vitale thinking we shouldn't be in the dance

 

[tmuck]

LSU is the only win left on our schedule.

 

[The_Catfather]

Bama fans chanting USA…mouth breathing mofos.

Their starting center is Nigerian. They probably just assume he's from Jersey or something.

 

[TheBlueMist]

21' is the worst everything I have ever seen.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Hopefully Amari goes

In this half

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Dookie V and dookie v wannabe calling the game with idiot Ravech

Can it be worse? I guess Bias could be there?

 

[TriCountyCat]

Same story, we aren’t gonna get any calls at the rim

 

[runt#69]

Brea hit on the arm
no call

of course

 

[catben]

WHY does OWEH miss SOOOO MANY easy looks??!!!!!!

He just looks LOST today!!!

 

[LmdCat]

Oweh is just throwing up shots while praying the refs bail him out.

 

[katwest]

Owehs got to know when to go with and when to dish it off. Most of the time you are going to miss taking it up on a bigger man.

 

[NociHTTP]

Otega, sigh

 

[phyrekat]

Oweh, who is one of our best players is channeling Archie Goodwin tonight. Not gonna win with that happening.

 

[Farsight]

And no foul. Brea got fouled.

Terrible start by Oweh

 

[runt#69]

Oweh is going to have to really pick it up for us

 

[BC_Wader]

3 on Nelson

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

C’mon Cats!!!

 

[Blue wood]

LSU is the only win left on our schedule.

You don't think we can beat Oklahoma?

 

[The_Answer1313]

We are getting stops but nothing is falling

 

[HenryMuto]

Why is Carr our PG now ?

 

[NociHTTP]

Owehs got to know when to go with and when to dish it off. Most of the time you are going to miss taking it up on a bigger man.

I don't think he particularly cares. His body language (facial expressions) earlier in the game were concerning.

 

[mrjuk]

WTH Carr

 

[TheBlueMist]

How many 3-foot shots are we going miss, guys?

 

[katwest]

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

He’s allowed to carry the ball a lot, that gives the guy with the ball a tremendous advantage.

 

[Blue wood]

ok let me guess your big time?

I don't cry like a little bitch all the time

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

This is the dumbest team I’ve ever watched play.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Refs are clever, they know how to balance calls with non shooting fouls vs shooting fouls
