UK is shooting 50%. I’ll take that right now up 8 at
The half.
Neither Oweh & Williams bring it up
Look at lineup we went 8-0 with
I really wish someone would ask him or Pope about this. It is so maddening.
He even clears out a little path for the driving player to score and bends down. If it wasn’t a ridiculous thought, I’d say he is intentionally letting them score. It’s that bad
It's infuriating. It's that damn "tip" bound philosophy. I freaking hate it. The ONLY thing I miss from Cal. GRAB THE BALL WITH BOTH FREAKING HANDS
Butler is hurt. It’s so obvious.
Sort of. It wouldn’t hurt for these refs to call obvious fouls like moving screens and holding.
sounds great, now who guards the other team’s quick guards?
they can’t go the whole game anyway.
Butler has to be hurting more than I thought. He’s not doing ****. That gonna make it really tough to win after this game (if we win this game).
But Troy isnt Bama or some tough SEC team on the road , Chandler can handle mid major Troy . Quit screwing around with the lineups and go with starters more than 3.5 minutes , heck that isnt even sweat breaking time .
I agree with him. We ain’t winning **** if this first half is any indication.
I feel like I’m wasting some Blantons. I should have gone cheaper and stronger.
There is zero chance I bag on Butler this game. He’s giving it his all and if it’s nothing but protecting that ball from dumb turnovers, so be it. We need him out there for defense and ball protection.
Butler clearly playing “not to get hurt” is very obvious too. It’s hard to say what to do there in a 3v14 first round game. I certainly don’t like him taking a charge given the circumstances but I get it
"Hey, you forgot your briefcase!"
need to be acting like this after the 5min mark
Even if we win, we will not make it out of the weekend playing tight and scared.
35 freaking points. Let's go guys! We're better than this.
First half was nerves … they’ve got it out of their system. I’m going with that
Carr and Noah only ones with a 3 is a bit scary.
I still think we pull away and win by a comfortable margin.
But we can’t play a first half like this Sunday.
This looks like the Missouri game. We didn’t even show up then we did and ran them out.
This team is nowhere near as good as Missouri.

At least his go high which I can't say the same for Garrison.
If Butler was hurt enough he sat out that Bama game, he’s going thru a lot right now. I mean just look at the size of that wrap. I don’t know the solution but a 60% Butler is better than Perry and Chandler sadly
Good to know. Guess I've been skipping between games when the action stops
20 minutes to see if we go on or fade away. My stomach hurts.
I'm surprised how little Chandler we've seen, I thought he moved ahead of Perry in the PG pecking order.
I don't think we have the philosophy that amplifies offensive rebound ability nor do we have any with player the skill. Amari is ok at it. Carr, Garrison, and Almonor are quite bad on the offensive glass. They have been for their whole careers.
my bracket says the same thing, but illinois/xavier is at best a toss up.
His missed layup in transition and terrible runner from 5 feet feel like turnovers lol
