***********Game thread Texas vs UK***********

[phyrekat01]

BG comes in and we immediately go from up 5 to down 2. What's your analytics say about that, Pope?

 

[ala_kat2]

Pope’s subs are messing up team chemistry

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Sigh.

Substitution pattern crushes us

 

[wccat]

Cats seem to have hit a wall and slow in getting back.

 

[Kyfan27]

Chance to go up 7 or 8, down 2 now. Good grief guys

 

[chattanogawildcat]

JJ and BG killed that momentum.

 

[GrumpyCat70]

Soft defense is on Pope. Play players that will play defense or sit the bench.

 

[BCD]

Hopefully Jaspers change of shoes help him

 

[mash_24]

This team just can’t stand prosperity. Always the let down when they get a little lead.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

People talk about 25/25, 20/20 on KPom. As of rn, they are 32/33. So close yet not quite there.

Not awful tho and plenty of time to improve on both of those figures.

 

[wccat]

Garrison not bringing us much. Bring back Jel.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Jelly starts then comes out and doesn't ever go back in? Strange

 

[HipTer]

Ok. Johnson's been terrible in every way. Timid and clueless as to what decision he wants to make. Whatever is going on he is hurting this team currently.

 

[megablue]

These two (2) teams are pretty evenly matched, it seems to me. We need our crowd to step up and make the difference.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Jelly got beat in the post one time in the first 4 minutes and sat the bench the rest of the half. Pope has a really short rope for him yet other players can look terrible and still play.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Jasper has to sit.

He is struggling tonight.

 

[ala_kat2]

I would like BG to start running the floor like Moreno did. BG can be a hell of a rim running big if he wanted to

BG just ain’t it. But we need his fouls.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

2 fouls

 

[wccat]

BG just stands there and gives him a 3

BG looking to fight last year and this year, he is a statue.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[mash_24]

When your lead guard is driving and missing 8 footers, it opens up fast breaks for the opponent. Texas is taking advantage.

 

[UKCowboys]

It says Moreno cant play the entire game and when he raises his hand for a sub, he comes out

 

[ala_kat2]

Definitely could be Willie Cauley Stein light if he wanted to.

Talent is not there

 

[RedwoodHigh]

At least we’re not down 15 - Yet?

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Jasper has not been good so far tonight.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

one of the faster 7-0 runs you will see

 

[wccat]

He is struggling tonight.

He seems very tentative and not just playing.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Jelly got beat in the post one time in the first 4 minutes and sat the bench the rest of the half. Pope has a really short rope for him yet other players can look terrible and still play.

he has 2 fouls. texas went right at him. cant hold his ground.

Didn’t realize he had 2, sorry

 

[Rainmaker]

Two early fouls unfortunately.

 

[ChiefPaducah]

We might be doing alright if someone would guard Swain. Good grief, he is singlehandedly keeping them in this.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Just not sure how an analytics coach can have an offense that settles for so many mid range shots.

 

[theBlues]

I'd like to not get down 10 in this one; my heart can use a break.

 

[gbl97]

Texas gets dunks, we settle for 15 footers.

 

[UKCowboys]

Jelly got beat in the post one time in the first 4 minutes and sat the bench the rest of the half. Pope has a really short rope for him yet other players can look terrible and still play.

Yeah he got owned more than once

 

[KyKevin]

But the offense is at best with him out there,.

But what he gives us on offense, he throws away on D.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

not sure we have gotten a single made basket out of a timeout this year outside the prayer at LSU?

 

[Seth_C]

He got two fouls in those four minutes.

Magically, neither team has fouled in the last 8 minutes or so. apparently. lol

 

[RoyKent]

Pope’s substitutions are dumb

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

please stop fouling lol

 

[Drogon]

Wow. From 170 to 225. That Swain dude puts in the work.
