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

[Attaboy-blue]

I hate to say it but Nick is horrid. Just sit him down

 

[ck-2]

We forget how to block out?

when have we ever?

 

[gracetoyou]

Why does Duke, UNC, Kansas...etc...never have to face officiating like this? Is it fear of repercussions?

 

[fatguy87]

Do you start Knox in the second half? Or see how things go without him for a bit?

He averages less than 3 fouls per 40 minutes. You play him 3/4ths of the half if you can.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Terrible coaching last minute and a half I’m sorry. Gave them a chance to get within six instead of pushing early two for one and getting last shot.

We score 51, but you manage to find something to ***** about huh?

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Richards took a forearm to the face no call, he touches somebody foul, why is it like that. It is a foul both ways, they need to call it.

Yea the big guy turned and knocked Richards back by hitting him in the face. But no call. But several phantom fouls on us.

 

[Calsthebomb]

when have we ever?

Valid point

 

[bluefan65]

Knox can`t get another foul until about 6 minutes to go.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Up by 9 missing PJ and Knox for the much of the half. I'll take that!

 

[BassProCat]

A serious dumbarse homer with marching orders...

CBS def wrote his broadcast today. Dude can't think to save his life. Call a TO C-Webb

 

[UKcats#1]

I'm just glad we are up 9. That's big. We need to continue to drive to the basket.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Knox could have probably put up 30 in this game without ref interference

 

[Calsthebomb]

We score 51, but you manage to find something to ***** about huh?

Gave up 42 and are playing no defense

 

[HenryMuto]

11 offensive rebounds for Buffalo !!!!!

Only negative so far but a costly one they have scored tons of their pts 2nd chance pts.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

We get PJ back. Pound it into him in the paint all day.

 

[TheDude73]

Some bad calls both ways. Refs are calling it a bit too tight when compared to the rest of the games I've watched in this tournament.

Either Cal's teams are just traditionally foul prone, or for some reason refs love to chop up a game with whistles when we're in it.

 

[katwest]

I can't get over the silly fouls SKJ and Richards pick up, quit that damn fouling so much whats wrong with those two, stop fouling, move your feet.

 

[jameslee32]

Smith, ugh!

 

[Cat in ga]

Glad to see Hami playing good. Surprised as aggressive as he was he doesn't have 6 fouls already.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

We forget how to block out?

Cal's teams have never blocked out well. Outstanding rebounding teams? yes, but not b/c they were good at positioning and blocking out.

He's just always had long athletic teams, so that makes up for it.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Do you start Knox in the second half? Or see how things go without him for a bit?

I would maybe hold him out a little bit.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Gave up 42 and are playing no defense

Might want to look at their shooting percentage and the number of foul shots.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Hate the freaking constant tightly called games when we play. Buffalo only had 26 total fouls in their last game and we had 43. We have 24 already this game.

 

[gbl97]

PJ is going to eat them alive second half. They got nothing for him.

 

[RoyKent]

Can’t believe we are letting them get so many offensive rebounds. Have to knock that off

 

[mhroe1984]

Kellogg and Kenny praying that Buffalo pulls another upset.

 

[caneintally]

wanted it to be 10 at half but 9 is ok as well. I wouldn't start KNox at 2nd half. bring him in with about 4 minutes in . Start Green/Diallo/Alexander/PJ and Gabriel.

 

[Bkocats]

OMG
Just looked down and realized I’m still wearing a green shirt. I forgot to change into my U.K. shirt before the game
Question is...should I go change now? Would it mess things up?

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Richards took a forearm to the face no call, he touches somebody foul, why is it like that. It is a foul both ways, they need to call it.

That no call was crap. Cleared space with the forearm.

 

[TortElvisII]

I miss Wally too... just because Kenny Smith should never be on any show.

Do NOT change!

If you always wear UK when we win then do so. But if that shirt has ever been worn during a loss then keep the shirt on. Now you realize if we win you will have to wear that the rest of the tourney lol.

 

[morgousky]

This is the problem with playing these teams. The officials naturally take it upon themselves to somehow level the playing field and take away our biggest advantages. Namely size and strength. Just because university of short **** can't play with biggest athletes doesn't mean you even up the difference. An officials job is to just straight up call it but they think it's broader than that

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Only concern are the touch fouls on us and them hitting us 2-3 times before a whistle. If he plays like that the second half without JV fouls could be a major problem. Could see Brad before it's all said and done. Wish JV could have just practiced lightly and dressed for use in case of emergency. Like our O, need to tighten up our D and get a fair whistle. Don't want to be in a FT shooting contest with these guys.

Stay the course.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

Absolutely do not start him.

However, Buffalo is going to sag off of SGA and make someone else beat him. Who is that going to be? Wenyen and Green are going to have to make some shots.

 

[The_Catfather]

Stay out of crippling foul trouble and deny the 3 better and we win. Pretty simple. I'm not sure we can do either though.

 

[CatEye2010]

when have we ever?

A blockout is called a foul. damn refs

 

[kennywalker34]

NO don't change. Just put on a UK hat and your good.

Wrong!
