When do you give up?

[docholiday51]

The call on that three-pointer was huge. He didn't seem to be touched other than Butler made some movement towards his stomach that I don't think actually hit him. That would have not been called on the other end and that changed the game.

Yes it changed the game(along with about 6 other calls) UGA got the calls they needed when they needed them

Let's say UK is down 12 with 1 minute and 15 seconds.

I still haven't given up. Last night it was under a minute when I realized it was a loss.

I realize some people in the game thread give up when it's 4 to 3.

So are you a fight to the end type of person or do you give up with 10 minutes to go?

Give up on my Cats. After I sell my soul to the devil!

I can usually tell how the game will be more often than not within the first few minutes. Last night after just a few minutes of action there was a loose ball in the lane. Oweh just looked at it thinking it was going to just come to him but the UGA player went and got it. Had a feeling that early.

I gave up before the season started, so I can't be disappointed.

Faaaaaaarrrrrrr Pope!

When the clock is 0.00.

It scales down. When it gets down under 20 seconds and you're down double digits I start giving up any hope. I've had to adjust because under Cal it was getting to where if we had a deficit at the half and started the second half off bad I knew we were losing. Pope has coached them up to come back a few times now so you can't give up early.

Your scenario, with Kobe Brea on the floor, I still got hope.

There were games like you mentioned under Calipari where we would nearly had a comeback with 5 minutes to go only to choke on a missed final shot

It got where they were automatic losses. Can't remember a single comeback win from Cal's last four seasons. Once they were losing it was over.

UK couldn't mount a comeback last night mainly because Georgia was getting many of their points via uncontested free throws with the clock stopped, granted to them by the refs. Hard to overcome that.

38>19 FT attempts by Georgia. 14-more made from the line than Kentucky. Bullshit discrepancy.

At 42 seconds I went ahead and posted "and this one belongs to the refs".

 

[Cleatortoises]

Never give up.
But I do "how many point per minute we have to make up" calculations the entire second half if we are trailing.
