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

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Why does Monk have to fadeaway on every jumper? Go straight up, Jesus

 

[WildMoon]

See, BAM is starting to wake up. This is why you keep playing these guys.

 

[zannmann]

Bam playing hard now.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

these shots aren't even close

 

[fisherscat]

Monk and Fox...their shots arent close.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Bam definitely is not a good FT shooter.

 

[NCukcat62]

Why does Monk have to fadeaway on every jumper? Go straight up, Jesus

Yeah I was thinking the same

 

[CatsRWild]

Same mistakes we made last game early.

Better coached opponent making us pay tonight.

Briscoe and Hawkins only Cats to show effort so far. Bam starting to get into it more

 

[NCukcat62]

Bam definitely is not a good FT shooter.

As of right now just a good rebounder

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Man do I miss Tyler!!!!

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

No FGs for Kentucky in the last 5:52, 0 of last 7, 2 of last 10

 

[WildMoon]

because guards have to take open threes

this is basketball, you can't get away with not being able to shoot

not really, he could of easily attacking in, pulled a defender and shot mid range. Which could have give more chance for our interior to get offensive rebound. There is more ways than one to play basketball.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Bam definitely is not a good FT shooter.

Not a lot of 18 year old, 260 pound kids are.

But racking up fouls is going to help our guards get to the line more and thin out opposing front courts.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Game has a weird feel to it. I remember playing Miami-Ohio early with Wall and Cousins. Ended up winning by 1 or 2. Just be ready for Mich St

 

[fisherscat]

We are confused on whether to switch or not. Cal always wants to defend that way but u need the personnel to do it. Not sure yet what we have.

 

[KY Long Rifle_rivals381398]

Our shooting may be an issue after all. I thought it was just a talking point, but there may be some truth to it.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Who was it that was talking about going 40-0 again the other day?...

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Why doesn't Calipari recruit people who can shoot?

 

[ORCAT10]

every game this year will be about shooting

Agree. Especially since Willis always seems to get the quick hook and Mulder can't seem to get playing time.

 

[mdlUK.1]

Why not give Mulder a shot?

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

Wow Humphries

 

[WildMoon]

Who was it that was talking about going 40-0 again the other day?...

an idiot so don't worry about him.

WOW HUMPHRIES> hahaha

 

[Bluest Member]

Canisius is fouling alot,they have confidence,but they'll run out of gas in the 2nd half.Cats need to pound it inside to the bigs instead of jacking up threes,Cats are out of rhythm because of Canisius game plan,but they will get it ironed out.
Definitely not worth all the 1st half bashing ,geez.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

The Hump

 

[ORCAT10]

Hump with a big time move.

 

[CatEye2010]

HUMP!

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Why doesn't Calipari recruit people who can shoot?

Glad someone FINALLY brought this up.

 

[CatsRWild]

Yep, time to play inside out.

nice finish Hump.

 

[HipTer]

Go watch the tape. Their first 6pts was off wills. That's why you saw WG

But then WG proceeded to give up 4 points rather quickly himself. Defense struggling some all around tonight.

 

[Bigkyfan88]

We will have losses by 15+ points, 9+ losses. Can't make jump shots, not a GREAT free throw shooting team, can't make 3's, and just really soft on defense and rebounds.

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

We're playing a crap team, but it's a crap team with veteran players. Actually, this is probably a good thing; this team NEEDS to be challenged, IMO, before we play the big games.

That said, if we can't hit open shots this team will have tight games all year, as we'll be forced to depend on our bigs to fight for interior shots.

Our talent, and size, will finally gel come March, but we have to allow this team to come together.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

I sure hope Canisius ends up being an NCAA tourney team cause this is embarrassing.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Canisius is hitting just about every shot you can think of this half...have to give them credit.

 

[fisherscat]

Fox not staying in front of his guy. Play with some fire man. U are better than that

 

[bluedog79]

We cant shoot 3's yet again. I'm quite tired of this issue.

 

[awf]

We cant shoot 3's yet again. I'm quite tired of this issue.

Is someone holding a gun to your head making you watch?

 

[Bluest Member]

Canadians can't hold up when they aren't playing on ice,Canisius will be in foul trouble soon

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Bam getting better at line

 

[Feez13]

Really hard to watch basketball teams that can't shoot.

 

[ORCAT10]

Love when Briscoe drives to the hoop.
