UK vs Ohio St Game Thread

Dumb pass, Otega.

No Garrison should’ve grabbed it that’s on Garrison!

 

[Mash 2.4]

Damn it Garrison! have to just go with Carr at the 5 eventually. Our 2 bigs are just lost right now.

 

[crawfords corner]

Dumb pass lol That was a fking dime.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

GD it Garrison catch the effing ball

That was a dime.

Didn't Ohio State also have finals?

Ohio State had finals but getting wacked by 30 the previous game has a way of waking a team up. Plus their game plan has been better. Pope got out coached in the first half.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Men always play weaker after watching a musical.

At least Pope didn't make them was feet.

 

[anonymous_2011]

Thank god everyone is watching football.

Win or lose this is one the staff. We can't come out and completely shit the bed game after game.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Need this loss? No way and that's not going to do anything but hurt our record and seed. That's not going to fix what's wrong.

Yeah. This whole "needing to lose" needs to stop lol.

If you have to actually lose a game to learn something, then the season is already lost IMO.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Dumb pass, Otega.

It was dumb because it hit BG in the wrong spot. His hands

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

what a time to give an easy dunk away. Damn it

It's plays like that that end up haunting in a game like this.

 

[Lempface]

Closed the gap there quick and really had a chance to pressure them and throw it away. Could be tied with the 3 possessions we lost to bad decisions and errant passes. Sigh. Play fast but you gotta think fast too to make the right decision.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

“Good Hands” Garrison. Oweh needs to know who he’s passing to though.

 

[Mash 2.4]

That TO by OO was massive. My God Man!

Not really on him.

 

[fisherscatfan]

The problem is UK isn't hitting shots and OSU is.

OSU- 15 Fouls
UK- 8 Fouls

OSU- 5/6 Free throws
UK- 17/21 Free Throws

OSU- 2/8 Threes
UK- 2/12 Threes

OSU- 22/35 FG
UK- 10/32 FG

OSU- 18 Rebounds
UK- 18 Rebounds

UK will get hot and go on a run. UK is being more aggressive inside. Drawing fouls, and making free throws. Once the shots start falling this'll be in UK's control easy.

UK's got this, alot of time left!

Agree but UK just works so hard to get shots and it seems many are highly contested. They have to have sets to get open 3s. The “bigs” are no threats so nobody has to leave a shooter.

 

[crawfords corner]

That's one of those Caitlin Clark passes you watch her teammates bumble away

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Didn't Ohio State also have finals?

Absolutely.

And these guys get paid to play now. Is school even a thing? Lol

 

[CrazyCat74]

Looks like the energy is coming alive.. I'm guessing Ohio will start to gas a bit. We need to get some flow going.

Short rotation Coach Pope

 

[the nail at the foul line]

I love this team but I swear between Williams and Garrison I'm going to lose what remaining hair I do have.

 

[HoldMyBeer]

Dumb pass, Otega.

Yea, but only cuz of who he thew it to. Any other player would've been a great pass.

 

[kywildcat41035]

That TO by OO was massive. My God Man!

That was on Garrison he should’ve caught the ball!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

They have heart and a never give up attitude to come back against Duke and Gonzaga and every player in the country has weaknesses. This team has talent but they don’t always play as a team or give 100%.

See i don't think they really have the talent to necessitate being a top10 team. What i think CAN make them a top10 team is when they do play together, play in Pope's system, and Pope can make proper adjustments as needed.

 

[The_Answer1313]

I have to two things

1) It is alarming to keep getting in the hole like this

2) It is equally amazing just how quickly this team can get back into games.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

GD it Garrison catch the effing ball

I think he still would’ve had a challenged shot and missed. I don’t think it was the right play by Oweh.

 

[HagginHall1999]

Didn't Ohio State also have finals?

Not and excuse of us either, but no, they didn't. Different academic calendar. Theirs were like two weeks ago.

 

[NociHTTP]

No Garrison should’ve grabbed it that’s on Garrison!

I'll have to look at it again, but it looked to me like it was a laser right into traffic with Garrison moving away from Otega. One of those no-no-no-yeah type passes.

 

[UKDC80]

Here it comes. 3pt by OSU

 

[JFCats22]

This is our chance. Let’s go!!!!

Nevermind

 

[The_Answer1313]

OMG Robinson

 

[Mash 2.4]

OSU shooting outta their ass.

 

[megablue]

“Good Hands” Garrison. Oweh needs to know who he’s passing to though.

He needs “soft hands” like Mike Scott.

 

[fatguy87]

Ohio State gets 5 points when we should have gotten 4. Kick to the balls.

 

[ganner918]

Missing that layup on the rim followed by an open one for them might be the "this isn't our night" moment

 

[Noxium322]

Good thing Robinson didn't dunk it and break a nail.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Dumb pass, Otega.

Wow. That pass was perfect! Garrison mishandled.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Damn you Robinson!!!!!! JUST DUNK IT!!!!!

 

[Skyguyb27]

Up to this point in the season, I think Pope has done an amazing job pulling together a team that was mid major/low P4 talent. Not slamming, that is what it is and these guys have overachieved. They lack the athleticism of a true top end P4 player. They are still good players but unless they are schemed open, they will struggle. They will struggle on D against athletes.

I kind of look at this similar to when Pitino got here. He didn’t have the horses at first, but won with a lot of smoke and mirrors along with schemes and grit. Once he got equal level athletes it was insane. Hoping it’s the same for Pope.

I agree ……except…… there no way to believe Ohio St is that much more athletic.

 

[ukjenning44]

We can’t hit layups

 

[Roe07]

well that's probably it

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Bradshaw's long jumpers have been the difference in this game.

Sickening.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Jaxson has blown two layups today
