We looked good the 1st half I hope the 2nd is the same way. I like the tempo of the game we are really pushing the ball up court.
GAME DAY THREAD — No. 9 Kentucky vs. No. 12 Louisville (11.11.25)

I think Brown and Cromwell bring a lot of swagger with them.. That's something we haven't had since the 80's..
He's fine, been on the bike a lot tonight. I think the matchup is a little too much from him from a physicality and intensity perspective
That ball hit the Louisville player while he was inbounds and hit the Kentucky player while he was out of bounds.
Sananda Fru has been a secret weapon tonight. Khalifa is also doing some good things. Bigs brought their games tonight.
Adrian Wooley has struggled around the basket this season, which is a bit odd considering he was 50%+ at the rim last year.
Seems to be thinking too much when driving, opposing athletes have caused him to be crafty. Can't just bulldoze his way anymore. Will be an area of growth for him.

Agreed Will. Has had a lot of drives in traffic missing open teammates or just forcing inefficient looks at the rim. Lot of plays off one foot, which doesn't help either. Needs to play off two feet more often.
Mikel down on the floor after shooting a perimeter jumper...Walking off the floor now, hopefully just a cramp. Drinking a lot of fluids at the moment.
Louisville up 78-60 with 11:32 left in the 2H.
Fru and Hadley have been a phenomenal frontcourt pairing in this game. Both give Louisville defensive versatility and have picked their spots offensively to impact the game.
To this point:
Fru +19
Hadley +16

Ryan Conwell got Donovan Mitchell out his seat on that 3, Kentucky continues to hit shots... Have cut lead to 14
Louisville needs to rely on the foul line these last 8 minutes — something Chucky Hepburn and Terrence Edwards Jr. were spectacular last season.
That's four fouls on Isaac McKneely. 4:45 to go.
Louisville has to find a way to string stops together and put this thing away.
Cards just shooting 35.7 percent this half.

88-84 Cards with 3:35 left. Louisville starting to get very stagnant offensively. Struggling to get stops too.
Too many threes this second half...19 to be exact.
Kentucky has been able to chip away and with 3:35 to go, UK trails by 4.

Need to try and get to the line as often as possible to end this game. Make the refs call fouls.
We have got to hang on here.. Ky isn't missing and our shots are not going in. Gotta do it with Defense !!
Timeout Kentucky with 1:24 left.
Strong finish by Conwell at the rim through contact. Mikel making plays in isolation to get to the FT line and/or finish.
95-88 Cards

Thank God we don’t need the free throws something we need to work on.
