********OFFICIAL GAME THREAD********

[TheDude73]

Suddenly our paint defense is non-existent. Still not too worried because as Rex said, Kaminsky's already looking like he's laboring. 3 times down he's been gasping and the last guy across the line.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

One of Dekker's and1s against Booker was crap...he was straight up.


That last one was definitely a foul. Great play by Dekker, unfortunately.

 

[Aike]

Weak And ones aren't helping anything.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Not sure why Cal chose that lineup to open the half.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Only KAT is getting it done for us inside - WCS, Lyles and Dakari tanking it.

 

[mhroe1984]

We can't get to the FT line and we can't get any stops.

 

[NavyKat]

Stop switching the screens. Getting abused with mismatches. Make the change Cal. Twins need to be in there.

Cause he's not able to guard a 7'1 center and POY. We're putting Booker in a position to fail.

B/c it is what got him here.

Letting them play right now. We just need to step it up a little.

GO BIG BLUE!!!

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

they are isolating booker on every play

 

[kingrex3]

I've never seen a player get more CRAP to fall than Dekker.

This. ^^^^ Bring the ball up fast every trip and he is in trouble.

 

[crazyqx83_rivals88013]

How are these not and1's?

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

what are they like 8-9 this half

 

[Catman100]

Ugh...

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Not looking good at all guys.

 

[HenryMuto]

Lost 2 baskets and 2 FT's now on that crap.

Another Wisky 3........down 8......need something to wake us up soon

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Damn. Hitting everything they shoot.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

I had a terrible feeling about this game. Revenge is a strong emotion. Other than the twins, our guys not showing they want it as bad.

 

[CatsRWild]

How does he get an unguarded 3 there? Come on cats.

Worst D we've played all year against a team that can make you pay.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Another wide open 3 for Wisconsin...they let us come back down 8-9 once...will take a monumental effort from UK on both ends and some goofs from Wisconsin for it to happen again IMO.

 

[Seth C]

And poor play put us in a position to have to fight back down 8 again. Against a team that plays stall ball. Terrible position to put yourself in, boys.

 

[buckkiller]

This is not good at all!

 

[clew84]

Wisconsin is just not missing when we make mistakes. Hot team making shots.

 

[Runt#1969]

this is not looking good. we really need to start playing better .... and fast, or the season is over.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

If you don't close on them, they'll hit it. Feels like the UConn game in a way - get even, then play like crap.

 

[UKGrad93]

We've got to make a move now. Got to make stops and get rebounds.

Come on Cats!!!

 

[jackcarlson]

wisconsin is getting tired, they won't be able to keep shooting like this.....

 

[oboroCATfan]

The effort this half in a final four game is an embarrassment. They are shooting wide open shot after wide open shot. Really disappointing way to play in such a big game.

 

[CAT fan in Chapel Hill]

Well this entire season I haven't been too nervous and always thought we would pull it out. I am starting to get nervous now. They can't miss right now.

 

[TheDude73]

Even Cal is starting to look desperate, as are a few of the players.

But remember, they looked worse last week after going down 9 to ND - out of sync, Cal looked pale and almost terrified, yet we came back. We have to hit our shots to at least counter theirs. If we aren't going to get stops, at least get points. Obviously no stops and no points spells bad news.

Yes because it worked for Arizona as well.

 

[HenryMuto]

Referee John Higgins tired of listening to Calipari. Just motioned and said, "That's it."

 

[oldsports_]

6-12 from the 3. Wide open looks!

 

[ZproductionZ]

They just want it more than we do. Plain and simple. Never seen us look so shellshocked.

 

[basedhoop]

Wisconsin is 116-3 in the past five years when leading with 5 minutes to go, so I wouldn't say "they are getting tired" just yet...

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

that was Ulis, he didn't even get screened

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Like last year, we can drive to the basket at will. But we're not doing it as much
