GAME CHAT: UK vs. LOYOLA (MD) *****

[Drogon]

Valuable minutes for JJ at point guard with the current uncertainty of Lowe's availability. PG by committee is a losing formula.

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

Kam with a +40?

 

[kybassfan]

Our guys still can’t face the mirror and say we played good defense. Still three jacking. I didn’t see anything making me think our players can take pride in themselves in the first half. Looking at the final score, I don’t expect to see that in the second.

I know jack and run makes the Bennie’s all giggly but without defense we will continue to have a rough year.

 

[chasingwildcat]

He had 6 pts and 11 rebounds

Still make awkward turnovers, and bad in O

But rebounding energy is better

 

[chasingwildcat]

Kam with a +40?

Yes he is our most valuable guy tonight from eye test

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

The lack of effort rebounding is embarrassing. They just jump. No blocking out at all.
Against **** teams, it doesn’t matter much. However, against any decent teams, it will get you beaten.

Exactly my issue. It’s ridiculously bad.

I am concerned we still go under the screen

Not sure why pope does not fix this

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I get it, but we look effin good.
88 points shows we know how to score.
LESSSSS MF GOOOOOOOOO!

We should have scored 120 with the looks we had tonight.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I am shocked BG has 11 rebound

Way more than my eye test

He rebounded good tonight. It’s the other parts of his game that are terrible. His rebounds are the easy ones as well, it doesn’t feel as much because anything that doesn’t fall to him he won’t get.

What I like about Kam is he is box out almost every possession,

 

[BCD]

My thoughts, which are worth diddly squat, people are looking for BG to make a mistake. It’s in his head. Cats fans are quick to pounce. We all need BG to be good.

He’s about the only one.

How many people lost money on this one because UK covered the spread? Just curious

 

[MbergCat]

I was watching my son play ball tonight and haven't been able to keep up. Did Mo not play?

 

[Monday Nitro]

Moreno is light and day. He needs 30 mins a game. Garrison for his breather only

Moreno makes the right pass, is normally in the right spot and never looks out of control. Really impressed.

No rolled ankle on Tuesday. Nothing major I believe.

I have nothing bad to say, which may surprise some. Opponent was total garbage but the Cats did cover a 36 pt spread. I had to check that Loyola was D1 -- they were. I watched the first 5 minutes, and there didn't seem to be any on-the-surface chemistry issues.

I'm bummed that we won't play a real game until December. There will be a lot of good ball over the next week, but nothing like watching Kentucky (against an actual basketball team). UNC will be interesting -- their team seems to be a bunch of mid players but obviously Wilson is A+.
