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

Having 08 flashbacks

 

[Sturge]

**** teams going off from three at Rupp...a tradition unlike any other.

 

[TortElvisII]

Might be a good idea to guard the three. At least maybe guard it a little bit.

Dammitt Herro....

 

[TortElvisII]

This is actually hilarious.

 

[clew84]

This switching D continues to give up big shots.

 

[RoyKent]

And, another three

Any chance we decide to play any defense?

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

I love how we are taking away the 3.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Lol 34% 3 point shooter nailing 3's from almost mid court.

 

[MbergCat]

Sheesh

 

[USSLair]

Umm ok Rupp sucks. Nobody is scared to play here

 

[Jazzycat]

Cats need to pick up the defense

 

[UKCat67]

Baker,Baker,Baker!

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Dang Cal call a to

 

[anon1763419335]

easy environment to get comfortable in. not an intimidating court to play on

 

[warrior-cat]

We seem to have difficulties defending the three.

 

[RoyKent]

Lovely defense so far. Just lovely.

VMI on pace for 100+ points right now.

 

[TortElvisII]

VMI coach taking advice from me.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Stop the switching defense please

 

[clew84]

easy environment to get comfortable in. not an intimidating court to play on

All the blue hairs sitting on their doughnut cushions.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Stop the switching defense please

lol yeah a strategy that makes sense for the less talented team

 

[Jazzycat]

Rupp continues to be a morgue during games

Really hope this teams develops more of a sense of urgency/skill re: defense. With their height they should have the upper hand and be smothering this team...except the guy on the inside...

 

[RoyKent]

VMI is currently #317 in KenPom rankings and UK was a 30+ point favorite.

Good to see us struggling against such a high level opponent.

 

[Notorious23]

Calm down mf's, Their 3 point shootin wont last

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

We should start renting out Rupp to teams that are in a shooting slump. They will be a team full of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in short order.

 

[TortElvisII]

We need Baker to play if we're gonna hoist that all-important 50 threes a game.....

Zion has got to stop the doughnuts.

 

[bookerfan66]

easy environment to get comfortable in. not an intimidating court to play on

Playing a little defense might help.

 

[gwjenning]

VMI just hitting every thing

 

[Calsthebomb]

Rupp is one of the worst home courts in basketball.

 

[UKDC80]

We should start renting out Rupp to teams that are in a shooting slump. They will be a team full of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in short order.

And for some reason. Our own guys hardly get hot in Rupp. ‍

 

[Calsthebomb]

Guys might play with a little energy if they felt like they were playing in a big time arena.

 

[MarkPftw]

Good Lord..looks like my "95-56" prediction is way off...95-86 is more like it. :angry: We can't guard worth a flip.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Put in hagans and let him harass the point guard

 

[RoyKent]

Guys might play with a little energy if they felt like they were playing in a big time arena.

You’re an idiot. 20,000+ against a crap opponent is pretty “big time” if you ask me.

 

[USSLair]

Rupp is one of the worst home courts in basketball.

Unless it's a ranked or rival team.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Happens a lot to us in Rupp for some reason. Teams come in and shoot out of their butts for ONE TIME in their freakin life!!!

It is truly amazing how often it happens!:weary::weary:

 

[Nubb16]

I don’t think I’ve ever been more mad watching a game with these douche bags running around with the damn tags hanging out the back of their shorts.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Not a big time environment at all.

uk isnt struggling. we are scoring and getting whatever we want on offense. VMI has not made a single basket inside the arch and has made 3 absurd threes that are more lucky than anything.

 

[TIE543]

Rupp is one of the worst home courts in basketball.

It’s deafening if the opponents miss consecutive free throws in the second half, though.

 

[RoyKent]

Not a big time environment at all.

What programs have a big time environment then?
