UK vs Ohio St Game Thread

We’re winning this one.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Amari with another 1 hand rebound attempt.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Send Williams back to Drexel man, I’ve had enough of him. No effort, just sits there with his hands shoved up his ass for 25 mins every game

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Is it actually possible that this team needs Kerr back for his energy and just his general presence?

 

[ukjenning44]

Our bigs have stone hands

 

[HenryMuto]

Needed that board

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Sure! Glad we got amari back in the game

 

[NociHTTP]

We’re losing this one today. Just didn’t have the answers. But all the doomsayers already writing off any SEC success need to understand that good teams and coaches adjust from games like this. It’s an eye opener for the players and coaches. You’re just used to 15 years of a guy who never opened his eyes.

Have you been watching the whole season? If he adjusted, we wouldn't continue to see this team come out flat the first half of each game. It's either that, or the guys aren't buying into what he says, and that's on Pope to address.

 

[shaudyshaud]

Why did Amari think that was out on Ohio st

 

[Fox2monk]

Every damn time we get on a little run we do something dumb, catch the ball.

 

[bnewt]

Williams is so lazy
Gives up a needed rebound

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

We’re winning this one.

No there not, not a chance in hell Kentucky wins this game tonight

 

[TriCountyCat]

Williams mistakes have cost us 8-10 points

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Williams laziness cost two points and lead back to 12. INEXCUSABLE.

 

[HagginHall1999]

Probably first decision Pope has made that I flat out don't get. Garrison giving tons of energy and is pulled.

 

[NociHTTP]

One has to wonder if all these cross-country road trips in a short span of time has affected our guys.

Atlanta
Clemson
Seattle
New York

That's a lost of travel for high-profile games.

No it's not, lol.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

We have to make a run now. 6 mins to go.

Let’s go Cats!!!!

 

[FirewithFire]

This is the first time I have been pissed off at this team this year. They look like they couldn't care less if they lose or not. Everyone is just going through the motions. Pope should suspend any Christmas break and make them work the whole time.

 

[Mash 2.4]

Williams is pretty much unplayable. I’m not sure going forward if we don’t have to just play Carr at the 5 and go
smaller.

 

[gharding07]

We are NOT a top 10 team. Maybe not even top 20. This is embarrassing..

 

[bnewt]

Hey Williams got a rebound

 

[Big BlueBeard]

I’d lose with Garrison before playing Williams. Sick of his pouty ass attitude and bad body language.

 

[ManitouDan]

Robinson sits there and gives no effort at all, and lets Bradshaw out hustle him

he had to see that air ball coming and just let the Tosu guy waltz around him

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Letting bradshaw shine and he is terrible

That tells you everything you need to know

 

[CUJO_1970]

It’s too freaking late to go back and forth with these bums.

 

[crawfords corner]

The initial stop is coming a bit more but we keep giving them 2nd shots or we fumble the ball.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Absent some back to back threes and stops this one is over.

 

[Fox2monk]

One has to wonder if all these cross-country road trips in a short span of time has affected our guys.

Atlanta
Clemson
Seattle
New York

That's a lost of travel for high-profile games.

Just not playing our game. Too much one on one, no cutting, no passing or movement. We can’t win like that,

 

[BigBlue1992]

Andrew Carr has 1 rebound

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Pope, I still love you.

Pull a Coach Pitino and run these guys until they can’t move. Put the fear of God in them.

Yea. That should make them want to win.

 

[TheWyldKat]

We deserve to lose this game.

Terrible lazy defense.
No sense of urgency.
Very little ball movement. Only a handful of sequences.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I don't mind losing, but when a team wants it more than Kentucky's guys do, that's inexcusable.

This was an effort and desire issue.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Williams mistakes have cost us 8-10 points

At least. He gives subpar effort more than any UK player than I can remember.

 

[MonsterMash79]

The 1-3-1 is basically a concession speech in the world of coaching: we can't guard your guys, so let's hope and pray you miss open perimeter shots.

Yep. And it’s caught up to him 👌

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Had a wide open dunk, catch the damn ball Carr

 

[CUJO_1970]

We need STOPS

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Every team has an off night.

That said, we are 10-1 (soon to be 10-2). I think that's pretty good for a team of transfers under a new coach. During that run, we've beat a young Duke team and the Zags. Those wins have catapulted us to the top 5, but I think we're more of a 12-18 ranked team. I don't know how we capture the ball movement and passing we saw earlier in the season; however, I hope Pope can figure it out.

I was thinking the same thing. 10-2 with wins over top Duke and Zags teams far exceeded my expectations for Pope’s first year.

 

[rob_47]

Freaking announcer is so bias ge just admitted he should have kept quite about Amaris free throw cause he hit them both. He has been all weird when we are at the free throw line trying to say things that he thinks might jinx us.

 

[taydaddy]

Wasted possessions. Frustrating

 

[crawfords corner]

Another great effing pass fumbled away ffs
