***** OFFICIAL Oklahoma Vs Kentucky Game Thread- SECT Edition *****

[NociHTTP]

We're going to need to do something other than Amari standing out on top. He stands too far out there, IMO.

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

is butler hurt or in foul trouble?

 

[Worf88]

Just like Cal’s teams, this team has an absurd tendency to go on idiotic scoring droughts.

Most are self inflicted by Pope. Anytime they get rolling he will screw with the lineup.

 

[mrjuk]

Please don’t make this like last time. Heart stopped a few times during that game

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Oweh might just put us on his shoulders again.

 

[bbnkat02]

is butler hurt or in foul trouble?

Getting shoulder worked on.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

PUT BUTLER IN

 

[wildcat1515]

Hope Oweh comes back next year. Is he projected at all in any mock drafts.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Imagine that, go inside, get fouled

 

[bbnkat02]

PUT BUTLER IN

BUTLER IS IN THE LOCKER ROOM

 

[Kingslayer07]

Why would they ever double Garrison 16 feet from the basket lol. Keep doing that OU.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

How many times is Fears allowed to pick up his pivot foot?!

Walk walk walk all day long!

 

[Oboro95]

This is an "elimination game" per Karl Ravech.

 

[Worf88]

Ugly lineup

No execution

Oklahoma starters have been in most of time

Will Pope ever learn?

Clearly not. His stubbornness with his minute efficiency bs kills us in stretches of every game.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

We led 12-3 and the we started subbing guys in and out after 4 mins. One time I would like to see us when we are dominating early just go with those guys for the first like 7 or 8 mins. Are our guys not capable to play 7 straight mins to start game ?

3.5 minutes - Mark has to get his head out of his *** when it comes to subbing too fast and furious.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Good find by Garrison there. I'd like to see more of that.

 

[Midway Cat]

It's amazing to me how many people in this thread think Pope is just sitting Butler.

He's hurt, guys. He can't go in.

 

[ManitouDan]

Ugly lineup

Really pisses me off , we don’t analytics to see certain 5s suck together!!!! Every point and every possession matters

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Locker room getting shoulder looked at

Just great. The one thing we couldn't afford to happen before the ncaa tourney. Hopefully it's ok.

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

Getting shoulder worked on.

smh never fails

 

[JonathanW_rivals]

I know we started out hot. But refs showed their colors on the opening tip, OKL guy tipped it out way before it reached its peak.

 

[JustBlue_rivals48238]

is butler hurt or in foul trouble?

Went back to the locker room

 

[Seth_C]

After that last timeout by Pope it’s pretty clear he told them that off Oklahoma is going to foil hard on every shot, sell it and force the refs to actually call it.

 

[Kingslayer07]

What are the odds if it is only 9-0?

Looks like we dodged it haha. I'm not sure.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

wtf is Kentucky doing

Its Popes odd analytical substitutions

Just doesn’t pass the eye test

 

[GoNoles111]

Getting shoulder worked on.

Oh great

 

[JimboBBN]

If Butler is really getting his shoulder worked on all the nonsense about him being 90 percent healthy needs to stop. This team is pretty limited without him

 

[SemperFiCat]

It's pretty obvious this game changed dramatically when Butler had to leave and Pope had to go with Perry.

 

[ukfan117]

Most are self inflicted by Pope. Anytime they get rolling he will screw with the lineup.

All I can do is shake my head when he does.

 

[Rise]

I say save Butler for the NCAA tournament. SEC is too physical.

 

[Wildcats1st]

This is an "elimination game" per Karl Ravech.

Eliminated from the sec tournament duh

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

Its Popes odd analytical substitutions

Just doesn’t pass the eye test

I get that he has confidence in his players but there is a difference between confidence and winning

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Anybody else with YouTube TV getting a lot of Otters and Gondolas? Gotta be the work of big sewer. The sound of splashing water is increasing flushes.

Between the Paris and the the boat I’m getting very sleepy!

 

[true-blue1]

I hope Butler comes back in the 2nd half. Injuries have killed us this season!!!!!!!!

 

[fatguy87]

Good half so far
We are battling

Went through a stretch missing open 3's and some free throws. Hopefully that turns around.

We've held them to sub 40% shooting for the half and Oklahoma hasn't gotten an offensive rebound. Pretty good defending for us.

 

[Kingslayer07]

If Butler is really getting his shoulder worked on all the nonsense about him being 90 percent healthy needs to stop. This team is pretty limited without him

We're screwed without him. That's what we are.

 

[ZZBlueComet]

Can’t lose in front of a rabid blue arena to a 14 seed

 

[ManitouDan]

We led 12-3 and the we started subbing guys in and out after 4 mins. One time I would like to see us when we are dominating early just go with those guys for the first like 7 or 8 mins. Are our guys not capable to play 7 straight mins to start game ?

I feel your pain Henry ( anger too ) it kills us !!!! I’m screaming mad

 

[jpuk974]

Hope Oweh comes back next year. Is he projected at all in any mock drafts.

NBA Draft.net has Williams, Robinson, Brea, and Carr all second round but no Oweh.

 

[megablue]

BUTLER IS IN THE LOCKER ROOM

Tough call to play him, if injured.
He needs to be healthy for NCAAT.
