******Game Thread JSU vs UK******

[revcort]

Team looks like they're focused on playing better defense this 2nd half so far. I had a feeling Pope wouldn't be happy with the D in the first half.

 

[gbl97]

This is their 39th consecutive non conference road game.

The recruiting pitch is that all your games are nationally televised.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Good passing

 

[bbnkat02]

Man, I'm gonna miss Oweh.

 

[trey g 4 UK]

Besides the garrisson ones I agree

Yeah Idc what Pope or anyone else says, I don’t want to see Garrison shooting 3’s. Not a good shot. EVER!!!

 

[NociHTTP]

Can we stop getting cooked by bob ross please

I was actually thinking he should have his own little animation when they do pre-game introductions. Have him bang the brush in the bucket and mix colors on the palette.

 

[bbnkat02]

JAX!

Can we stop with the crappy TOs?

 

[podgejeff_]

New wrinkle in the Pope offense: "Just dunk everything".

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

The big guy for Jackson state may be able to jump 1 inch off the ground and that’s me being generous

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

I believe Houston held these guys to 40. I’d like to put the clamps on them rest of this half.

 

[rick64]

Appears to be some empty seats in the lower bowl. I wonder if Pope will beg fans to come to the games during the post game press conference.

 

[NociHTTP]

Wow, Amari!

 

[trey g 4 UK]

Jaxon needs to pass a little more. That was a bit of a selfish 3.

 

[bbnkat02]

Oof. Our outside shooting has been meh.

I believe Houston held these guys to 40. I’d like to put the clamps on them rest of this half.

Don't think that's gonna happen.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Send it in, big fella!

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Do we get 100?

 

[onearmedjesus]

I believe Houston held these guys to 40. I’d like to put the clamps on them rest of this half.

I bet Houston fouled them a lot more than we are (with some homecoming from the refs). I personally HATE their style of basketbrawl.

 

[bigblue1971]

Robinson never seen a shot he didn't like.

 

[bbnkat02]

Rebounding is suspect. That has me a bit worried.

 

[JPFisher]

Another bs call. I hate that refs call three point shooters just falling down as a shooting foul so often.

 

[TucsonCat]

Williams has some impressive attributes

 

[NociHTTP]

If he jumped off a cliff, he'd jump the other way.

 

[TankedCat]

I don’t think there is much to be gained by playing this game unless they break the scoring record for Rupp which doesn’t seem to be on pace to do so. I am sure Pope will get some teaching moments explaining to them what would happen if they played a serious team tonight.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Another bs call. I hate that refs call three point shooters just falling down as a shooting foul so often.

Almanor didn’t let him land there, that’s one I agree with the call. Most of the time I agree with you though, the refs just fall for the flop

 

[bbnkat02]

Be interested to hear Pope's comments tonight. We've played decently but have had some bad lapses on D and passing.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

If he jumped off a cliff, he'd jump the other way.

If you put a phone book under his feet he would break his neck

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

I love that this UK just doesn’t foul much.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

We hit the magic number of 10 made 3’s again.

 

[bbnkat02]

BREA!

And then a bailout foul for JSt. Thanks ref.

 

[onearmedjesus]

Brea from Covington!!!

 

[bluedog79]

Brea ball rotations... is like a robot shot it.

 

[Farsight]

I just turned the game on. Why are we booing Jackon States #15?

 

[bookerfan66]

brea needs to shoot more and Jax less.

 

[PoBilly]

How can a game with so much action by UK be rather boring. lol

Love this so much more than stall ball dribble dribble.

 

[trey g 4 UK]

brea needs to shoot more and Jax less.

I TOTALLY AGREE!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

brea needs to shoot more and Jax less.

I’d rather Jax keep firing away as well. I’d be happy to see Brea shoot 15 a game but we need Jax so get in rhythm while we are up 35.

 

[JPFisher]

Almanor didn’t let him land there, that’s one I agree with the call. Most of the time I agree with you though, the refs just fall for the flop

Gotcha. Watching from a distance on a smaller screen than usual. I'll accept that I was overly critical there. Overall during this game, though, they've done a poor job.

 

[PoBilly]

Man, I'm gonna miss Oweh.

I am going to enjoy every second he is here. 1 year, 2 years. How ever long we get him. He is special.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

A lot of is just timing. I think it’s the competition. I can’t see them having these lapses against better teams

I assume that's the shoe thrower.
