Terrible shots by Robinson

 

[Terrapin_Station]

Just play Carr at the 5 a lot more in the second half. Not been the best game for Amari/Garrison in this one.

He didn’t do that, and I hate the fact that he did didn’t do it. And he’ll have some justification for it after the game, but sometimes you just have to see that certain guys are off or aren’t good fits for the match up they’re in.

 

[bbncal02]

Much much better energy.

 

[Bkocats]

That was pretty

 

[NociHTTP]

How about Carr!

 

[*CatinIL*]

A little more fire from the CATS starting this half.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

On a 80-0 pace this half....

 

[LmdCat]

This team is showing their versatility. They aren't just a one trick pony when it comes to offense.

Good thing WKU isn't meeting some of the criteria you usually see for an upset. When a mid-major wins a game like this it's usually because they take care of the ball, shoot it well from 3, force some turnovers on their opponents, and get help from their opponent missing 3s.

Cats lucky WKU hasn't taken care of the ball or made some 3s.

100000% this ^^^^

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Good start to this half

 

[Basscat1987]

It’s not helping us go on a big run when every time we score back to back baskets wku coach calls a timeout and takes the crowd back out of it. Like he thinks he can win or something

 

[The_Answer1313]

This IMO is a good game.

It's encouraging to see them still blow a team out despite shooting poorly and turning the ball over too much.

It certainly kills the whole live by the three die by the three theory.

 

[crawfords corner]

What a pass.

My favorite thing about this team is we have multiple guys who can consistently attack the basket and finish. That is something Cal teams had been sorely lacking for much of the last 5 seasons.

 

[know1]

We're going to smoke them this half. Just like we did to Duke.

 

[Bkocats]

Agreed. And this is a very very good thing

 

[bbncal02]

One thing I love about Pope, he doesn't look down on opponents or say, "Well, we played down to them a bit." He respects them enough to give them our A game. And that's what you should do for EVERY team you play against.

Well you only have so many timeouts

 

[YardCat]

So you’re telling me that this team isn’t a live by the 3 die by the 3 group??? Mikey likes it!!!

Colgate does or they have in years past. They always take care of the ball and shoot the piss out the ball

ESPECIALLY when KENTUCKY is written on jersey

He.....coaching? How dare he. I'm glad he is. It's what a good coach would do against us. Try to to stop a run.

Not this year tho lol.

 

[rick64]

Williams strikes again. 😡

 

[LmdCat]

Williams need to go to the bench.

 

[bbncal02]

And see? He called TO and WKU regrouped a bit.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Sit Williams the rest of this game, I’ve seen enough lazy ass effort out of him tonight

 

[Pelosigalore]

Williams looks like he’s never played before

 

[ck-2]

Don’t like Williams playing pg.

 

[megablue]

Amari is having a nightmare !!

 

[Bkocats]

Ugh

 

[bbncal02]

WOOF.

 

[crawfords corner]

Williams is having a terrible game because he's trying to do too much. Settle down big man.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Get up 16, Williams lets them back into the game, wash rinse repeat

 

[LmdCat]

Williams is dogging it tonight so his ass needs to be on the bench.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Williams is a walking turnover.

 

[ukjenning44]

Not Williams night

 

[EliteBlue]

Not Amaris best game…energy seems off.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

I absolutely am glad that Mark Pope and not Calipari is our coach. But my goodness running Amari Williams out there again for the second half is the most ridiculous thing you could possibly do. A number of us in this thread set up before the second half started and now what we’ve said is absolutely confirmed. Ridiculous.

 

[Bkocats]

I know Amari is better than this
Something mental going on?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

So dude for western can slide 3 feet and it not be a walk
