***** OFFICIAL NCAAT Illinois Vs Kentucky Game Thread *****

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

Amari good ****. Like the energy cats, just make the damn layups

Make the dang free throws too. Can’t give points away.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Is there an argument to be made that this version of Collin Chandler is not that big of a drop off from Jaxson Robinson

 

[bbnkat02]

Love him or hate him Amaris my guy!

He's my new Nick Richards.

 

[megablue]

Massive 3 from Butler

Leviathan !!

 

[ukwildcatwildfan]

Very encouraging start on defense so far

 

[will1976]

Carr with a slow start. Only 1 rebound

 

[Worf88]

imagine we’d kept Antigua and we had Z’s brother.

Both would have been perfect here.

 

[wldktz1]

Missed that first three so I’m hoping the layup and the mid range gets him warmed up for later

He’s getting contact that’s not being call. He just needs to adjust for the contact. That last layup was much better.

 

[wccat]

Amari is just such a ***** and just needs to dunk the ball if you can't hit a layup

If I were Williams, I would stop with the 'too small' action seeing he can't seem to make a layup more times than not.

 

[UKSanders_rivals37733]

LFG Amari, please make your free throw

Way to go , Williams. Not hit the freebie.

During league play, he had started putting more arc on his shot, and as his arc went up, so did his shooting percentage

Last game, I noticed he was shooting them flat again...hopefully, the coaches corrected that again.

 

[Lempface]

I just don't understand why he won't dunk some of these. He had momentum and the last drive he missed on, definitely coulda dunked it.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Chandler has been damn good

Guy can play D and shoot the ball makes good decisions

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Just keep winning 4 minute segments, Cats

 

[bbnkat02]

Is there an argument to be made that this version of Collin Chandler is not that big of a drop off from Jaxson Robinson

Maybe. I want him and Oweh back.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

Amari Prickett

Don’t trash my guy Prickett

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Love thay were surviving with Oweh out having 2 fouls. If we can keep this up that will be huge when we get him back.

 

[LmdCat]

Will Williams ever get embarrassed enough to stop missing those easy shots?

 

[mash_24]

Honestly feel like we could be up 15. We’re not sharp but they are less so.

 

[megablue]

Illinois does not have a point guard !!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Is there an argument to be made that this version of Collin Chandler is not that big of a drop off from Jaxson Robinson

I think an argument can be made we are a bit better defensively with him.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

Is there an argument to be made that this version of Collin Chandler is not that big of a drop off from Jaxson Robinson

Jesus man. Yes. There’s a huge argument to be made. I swear. I’m happy for the kid and think his ceiling is good, but let’s have some perspective.

 

[OneSpeedyBoi96]

Yikes, can't miss FTs, not in this game.

 

[TucsonCat]

Defense baby. Whoa

 

[zannmann]

Playing great defense.

 

[ScottGreene22]

imagine we’d kept Antigua and we had Z’s brother.

Both would have been perfect here.

Riley would be a CAT

 

[pauled#1]

Pope is going to let Amari shoot us out!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

2 missed free throws in 2 atempts

 

[bbnkat02]

I might unalive him...I just might. YOU'RE KILLING ME AMARI

And ofc he makes that.

 

[I-Move-Like-The-Pope]

Amari wtf is that one hand throw it up ****???

 

[Seth_C]

Amari CANNOT be this much if our offense. It is absurd. Rebounds. Put backs. NOTHING else.

 

[TucsonCat]

Williams and butler
Like Batman and Robin

 

[KentuckyStout]

Dammit to hell Williams

 

[SemperFiCat]

Amari just isn't near the player he was about a month ago.

 

[MbergCat]

Nice take!

 

[ck-2]

Williams is awful.

 

[hotelblue]

we’re a different team if butler is giving us points.

 

[clew84]

Amari needs to make smart shooting decisions.

 

[Runt#1969]

Make our shots

play defense

basics

 

[JAPierce_2]

This might be the best I’ve seen KY be defensively, granted I don’t watch as much as yall.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Williams back downs kills me
