********Official Game Thread*********

[Jamal Mercer]

Thank the lord we have this string of cupcakes and mid majors to play. Can’t imagine playing UT, Auburn and about 5 other SEC teams right now. Not even mentioning UNC, Kansas and Louisville.

 

[Wall2Boogie]

Update please

 

[UKvisitor_rivals101449]

85 -65

 

[RoyKent]

 

[zannmann]

How is that a blocking foul?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Everybody gets that call but Kentucky

 

[JoeBeeHall]

PJ

 

[KyCatFan1]

We were playing well and everyone decided to go home early for Thanksgiving mentally.

 

[TIE543]

Putrid call tbh

 

[UKvisitor_rivals101449]

What, charging is not a rule any more?

 

[jrpross_rivals]

“Aright boys, we’re up 25. Nice job. Now let’s take the rest of the game off.”

 

[JoeBeeHall]

85 68 2:45

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Got to guard the 3 no question about it!

 

[JoeBeeHall]

They need to get the killer instinct.

 

[UKDC80]

Why can’t we have knock down shooters like VMI and Winthrop. Can you imagine if we shot as high of a percentage from 3 as these low teams do?

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

horrible call.

I truly don’t know how we got conned into thinking this team was elite.
Exactly 0 will play 5 years in the NBA. Possibly 1 or 2 will get a look for a couple of years then out. We lack talent. If we’re playing this game we need a new strength and conditioning and move more to develop good college players

 

[JC43]

We covered, then let up....sheash

 

[sam_o]

Little complacency set in there.

That’s why those kids are at those schools. When you’re not athletically gifted you compensate offensively with shooting.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Call slowed the game down and we started stinking up the court. I'll never understand.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Just not a good defensive team

 

[Mike-D]

It's game 4. You act like it is February 20th.

Maybe Cal thought Herro was good enough to get open on his own like he showed in the Bahamas. He is adapting.

Uhh ok

 

[UKvisitor_rivals101449]

85-72 with less than 39 secs to go.

 

[jrollins24]

dang. this went sour pretty fast...all in about 15-20 minutes.

 

[richbrookstomato]

Keldon has to take over if Cal is going to put the ball in his hands at the end of games!!

 

[CROCAT]

Defense has to improve otherwise we won't sniff living up to the preseason hype

 

[nookam]

Calipari has to be sick. This man coached Camby, D Rose, Wagner, Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Knight, Jones, Lamb, Davis, MKG, Miller, Noel, KAT, Lyles, Booker, WCS, Fox, etc. We beg for the Harrison’s again with this crew.
That said, I love our team.

 

[UKvisitor_rivals101449]

87- 74 final. D let up.

 

[Bkocats]

Looked mostly good offensively
Defense had a good sequence
Then we coasted... doesn’t bother me in a game like this when there is no doubt of the outcome, but concerned it will teach them it’s okay all games
Still... lot of fun stuff to watch today

 

[BassProCat]

Didn’t finish too strong but we are def getting better.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Call slowed the game down and we started stinking up the court. I'll never understand.

There has been a lot of games over the years that Cal has taken his foot off of the gas and it's cost him in some and almost cost him in others!

 

[RoyKent]

26 point lead drops to 13 by the end of the game.

Still baffling awfulness from this team going on.

 

[Robcatt24]

 

[jrollins24]

Beat Winthrop by 13....should have been 30+ A win is good but I mean, my goodness, it's crazy that an unranked opponent nobody can come into RUPP and feel like they gave it to us for 40 minutes against what is supposed to be a top 5, top 10 team. Amazing!

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Our offense is becoming more efficient, although the second half was pretty anemic, but our defense is just bad. Every time I think we're getting it, they go right back to lazy defense and allow inferior opponents to score at will. Ugh.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Kind of bizarre game. Played angry and efficient for about 30 minutes and then played like frightened turtles for the last 10.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

The score doesnt really reflect how the game went. We were up 20+ most of the game.

Want to bet on that?

 

[Mike-D]

All year? We are 4 games in! Exactly how long do you think the "year" is?

Since the first game you moron.
