UK/WKU game thread?

[megablue]

KY 42%
WKU 33%

Look, nobody is “panicking” … it is real-time criticism in a game thread. Lead got down to 6 due to laziness and atrocious shooting. It’s ok to point that out.

You said exposed and all other kind of bs just like you do every year. just ignorance from you

 

[Terrapin_Station]

JR is gonna get his shots every game no matter what. That much is obvious already.

He needs to attack in other ways. He has only taken one field goal that wasn’t a 3.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I haven’t seen Gonzaga, but I can’t imagine a team with quicker players than WKU. I think we will get better looks from 3 against those teams.

Yeah but Gonzaga has one of the best coaches in the sport

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

On a positive note, if this is UK while shooting 7/26 from three, I feel pretty good about our talent level.

If we shoot at our clip, we'd be 12/26 right now and have and 84-57 lead.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

I consider it a win when Amari goes 1/2 at the line. I expect Andre Riddick type of numbers from him.

 

[Woodsmoke]

What happened after Oweh nade the 3? WKU called a timeout and when ESPN came back after the TO, we had the ball?

 

[Bkocats]

Ok we can all relax now
We got to 72 first

 

[runt#69]

Lots of learning points from tonight's game, and I'm loving it !

It's a good time to have a game like this. Long term, this game is going to pay dividends.

Zaga is for real man. They might be the best team in the country.

That "directional" school is making us look like dog shit. Show some respect.

They’re a directional school. That’s not a lack of respect. It’s a fact. Low level D1…directional state school. Does that hurt your feelings? Are you a WKU grad? Or a Calipari generation NBA fan (given the username) waiting on an excuse to throw shade?

We are up 15+ and closing on the spread while playing the most lackadaisical game of the season, not taking care of the ball (self inflicted turnovers that are largely unforced), shooting well below our average on uncontested 3s.

What western has done well is attack repeatedly and play the overly physical, “refs can call them all” style that the SEC will employ and it’s resulted in us fouling more than typical and keeping rhythm broken.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

Giving it to Amari in the post for a field goal attempt seems really pointless. His post game is garbage and so is his free-throw shooting.

 

[LmdCat]

For some reason, we don't anticipate WKU crashing the boards on everything even though they have been doing it all night long.

 

[Bkocats]

Oh please

 

[Kerry Kat]

BS

 

[bbncal02]

THAT'S NOT A GOALTEND
THAT'S NOT A GOALTEND
THAT'S NOT A GOALTEND

WHY ARE REFS SO DAMN STUPID

 

[the nail at the foul line]

It looked like to me it was on the way up

It's looking like I'm going to be a little short on my score prediction in the @Old_Red game.

It is, I agree. But don’t fool yourself. Some were panicking. You’ve been around this board long enough to have seen it many times before.

 

[JFCats22]

Just a brutally ugly game. Good lord

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Kentucky doesn’t want to get this above 16 points tonight. every time they have a chance, they have the worst offensive possessions they had all night

 

[Kerry Kat]

Never out of a game with Brea

 

[darkshadesofblue]

What a dogshit call

 

[crawfords corner]

Piss poor officiating costs us 2 points.

 

[*CatinIL*]

There's Brea with the BOMB

 

[runt#69]

HORRIBLE goaltending call

Sone people never miss an opportunity to dis our fans!

 

[The_Answer1313]

is it just me or does everything Garrison does out there look awkward lol

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Or that 13 wants to drive right every time

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Hot mess at the FT line tonight.

 

[Bill - Shy Cat]

Exactly! Western has extra motivation vs KY.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I felt like Brea had been really cold tonight.

He’s 3-7 from 3 😅

 

[runt#69]

Last 5 minutes may see us pull away more, but the learning points are there.

I'm good with it, glad we got this game as a wakeup call.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Why on earth in a 14 point game is garrison taking a 3 for?

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Lots of learning points from tonight's game, and I'm loving it !

Good point, runt. Not every game is going to be a blowout where everyone is flawless.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

You said exposed and all other kind of bs just like you do every year. just ignorance from you

You’re thinking of RunninRichie, I believe. I never said exposed ….

 

[Kerry Kat]

Playing the spread

 

[Deli owl]

Can we please miss more free throws. I was missing the Cal vibe on the FT

 

[ck-2]

Getting beat down the floor every time.
