***Game thread Wright St vs UK*****

[RoyKent]

Really sloppy few minutes before this two dunks.

Look very solid overall though!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Butler gotta make them bunnies.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Wow right when UK gives Wright State a little rope they take it away in a blink of an eye!

 

[Lazlo7]

So you want play takeaway.

 

[BlueEmpire]

Williams will get a tech called on him for hanging on the rim this season, I guarantee it.

Just hope it’s in the Final Four up by 12 with a minute to go.

 

[Runt#1969]

3:13 to play in the first half.

that's bad news for Wright State.

go big blue !

 

[NociHTTP]

I think he’s pulling it off. He’s got a prestigious, high paying job. He’s representing us well

Coaches used to wear suits, I miss that.

 

[blackcat714]

Butler with a wagner layup

 

[lazycat75]

No pass is safe rn Lol

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'm excited about the idea of Wilson, Moreno, Johnson, and Lewis teaming up with Oweh, Garrison, Chandler, Perry, and Noah next year (if it all comes together).

 

[BBNinSC_rivals62411]

This is a bad *** team.

 

[Samurai Cat]

Not bad for a team picked 8th in the SEC

 

[TortElvisII]

Butler with the steal and bucket!

He missed.

 

[Saven]

It's nice to see the suit back

 

[Runt#1969]

Defense
Clap clap clap
Defense
Clap clap clap

suffocating cats

 

[Panthur]

Loving the D

That's what sh---

 

[megablue]

Love how we are putting pressure on the passing lanes.

Surprised WS hasn’t tried back-door cuts off the pump-fake.

 

[Warf2012]

Butler would almost be better off if he had about 3 less inches on his vertical. Hes an above average jumper but he’s not tall so it makes dunking more of a challenge and he wants to dunk everything instead of laying it in.

 

[OleBum]

Layups are awesome!

 

[PoBilly]

We have a defense. We are no where near perfect on defense but the pressure we put on people is great. Forcing mistakes, forcing guys to expel so much energy that the shots are not always going to fall. Butler is playing great defense but he is in his own head on offense. That was an easy lay in or dunk. He just could not decide which one he wanted to do. Robinson is playing decent defense as well. Oweh just a linebacker of a guy playing basketball. Love that guy.

SuffoCats !!!

 

[IowaMuse5]

I’ve noticed Wright State sagging off Butler quite a bit. Has bogged UK down a few possessions. Against better teams i wonder how Butlers limited shooting skills might create some issues.

 

[mcnicKY91]

Butler is this year's Edwards at the rim lol

 

[chroix]

Little loose. They can and should definitely step it up.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

True. He just needs to go for the layup. Two missed dunks is one too many.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

Best defense I can remember us playing in a long time.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Not bad for a team picked 8th in the SEC

If we’re the 8th worst team in the SEC I hate to see the 7 before us!

 

[megablue]

Oweh is very very steady !!

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

I love the temperament of this team. Mature guys who aren't going to get too high or too low and I don't see them getting into stupid squabbles.

 

[Runt#1969]

He missed.

there have been some of those maddening plays where Butler has got caught in between being able to put those certain plays away.

once he gets them down, he wont fail at it. I have faith. he's so close already.

the pace of the game and when they've outrebounded them so far 18 - 134, it's looking pretty solid in this game. Just keep up the pressure ....

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Just hope it’s in the Final Four up by 12 with a minute to go.

It will be in 2 games !

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Go Big Blue !

 

[Yardeth]

I screamed when Butler missed that dunk, the wife came out on the porch asking why I yelled, I said, he missed a dunk! She said Welcome back to Kentucky Basketball where it means something again! She is so right.

St Johns 40 Fordham 26 at half

UK 40 Wright St 22

 

[Bkocats]

Hmmmm

 

[GoNoles111]

Bigs are handling it way too much on the perimeter. Let the guards be guards.

 

[Glenn Fohr]

Ball movement is incredible!

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Thought Amari got that

 

[onearmedjesus]

A bigman that can hit the free throws.

Pope's offense runs a point center.
