******Game Thread GA ST vs UK********

[Lost In FL]

I used to have that audio on my workout playlist, about 1/2 way through. For some odd reason, my 2nd half workout seemed to be much better lol

-16 from three

That will be a loss against every team in the SEC

I see you left after we went up by 20.

I’m kind of surprised at the thug ball from Georgia State, Hayes and his brother were very good players at Georgia and neither of them were thugs. I guess they thought that was the only way they could win. I’m proud of the way we responded, the crowd let them having it too.

I’m sorry but Pope should yank 77. That was ********. 3 straight possessions just hoisting 3d outside the offense. Trying to get his. Nah.

Apparently, he just needed 3 to get to 1000 points. Team was letting him.

I found this...can't find the record. But this is excerpt from Arkansas game last season (March, the irony of that).

"It was the first time that Kentucky had seven double-figure scorers since Feb. 19, 2005 in a win against Mississippi State. Randolph Morris led the Cats in scoring that night with 17 points. Saturday’s game marked just the sixth time in school history that Kentucky has had seven double-figure scorers in a game."

The game we scored 143 against Georgia would be the one to look up for how many players had double figures.

Had only six with double figures that game. Had 11 with eight points or more.

Look at the boxscore and the players in double digits.

Never would have seen that with the former coach the last 5 years

hahaha that was just so weird. I mean first five games it was like just dribble it out at the end.

Last game, we had that one shot when we didn't need to and now this game Kerr goes full blown Steph Curry mode and starts jacking shots up lol.

Curry would have hit at least one of them.

Jefferson Pilot Sports would have never let this happen.

If Joe Dean would have seen what popped up on my screen, he would have been stringing his music.

On six! But five others guys with 8-9 points.

They watched footage of our last game and saw the refs let WKU do literally anything they wanted and refused to call a foul. I can’t blame them for trying the same strategy. I blame the ref crew. It has to stop. Someone is going to be injured because of that nonsense.

 

[gracetoyou]

A win is a win. I'm ready to get all the cheese ball games over so our guys can play with more motivation. It took Georgia St dirty play to light a fire.

 

[blubo]

biggest surprise of the game for me was g state hitting 11 threes

Same sht we saw against Wisconsin in the FF

Same sht we will see again and again in the SEC and the tourney

FT shooting was way better.

18/22

I say the offense worked how it’s supposed to… when we’re not making 3s we beat them inside the arc.

On the season we take 44% of our shots from 3 point range and make 40% (.399) and we shoot 58% (.585) inside the arc. That means a 3 point shot is more efficient than a 2 point shot (1.197 vs 1.170 points per attempt)

Tonight the 3 point shooting is off 7/26 (26.9%) but we shot over 80% (33/41 .805) from 2 point range. Tonight a 2 point shot is worth 1.61 points per attempt vs .807 points per 3 point attempt.

He could have drove.

The risk with driving in a game like that is one of the Georgia St players laying him out.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Just a minor gripe, but can our players ditch the rainbow shoes? Our colors are not Orange, Yellow, Red, Green etc.

Unless it’s breast cancer awareness, which is a different matter

I could not care less what color our shoes are as long as we are winning.

Vanished into thin air in the Dook game thread as well after saying we sukked, lol. Totally predictable as he/she did it all last season.
