Official Wildats vs. Gators Game Thread

Can this venue do anything right? Basket delays, clock delays, etc.

 

[HenryMuto]

7 total fouls ? Seems hard to believe that refs only called 7 fouls.

 

[Cat in ga]

My wife just said the refs are to much of the game

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Only 7 fouls the entire game.

Which is sorta surprising given both these teams tend to get into foul trouble.

 

[sam_o]

Allen wanted to attack the close out but he had plenty of space. He has to take that 3

 

[podgejeff_]

Yearly I'm reminded that we're the only team in the SEC who actually bothers to invest in lighting for their arena.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

I think the Cats are turning the corner.

 

[Born and Raised Big Blue]

Allen has to shoot that wide open three.

 

[LmdCat]

Don't like the line up.

Still going to take 3 hrs with all the delays

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

I just got caught up. Boston with 2 steals including ripping that one from the Gator player, a dunk, a swish 3, and I like what I see. Of course, he missed some jumpers, but I still think he looks better.

 

[STL_Cat]

Wtf is actually happening lol

 

[ala_kat2]

Why not shoot the 3? That was strange for him

Hope Cal didn’t tell him to involve his teammates more.

Yeah I suspect the decision to drive was made well before he had the ball.

Refreshing from the foulfest against Vandy

 

[ukfan041]

Gotta grab that ball

 

[HoneyMoon155]

Askew is playing some great defense today, love the improvements of this kid

 

[Crawfords Corner]

FFS can anyone on this team grab the damn loose balls COME ON!!!!

 

[fatguy87]

Jeezus. We fumble the loose ball then foul them with 1 second on the shot clock.

 

[STL_Cat]

Great defense by Askew. Gators got bailed out

 

[Kingslayer07]

GREAT DEFENSE

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Good half.

 

[mhroe1984]

Solid 20 minutes from these guys!

Makes for a more watchable game.

Boston has been better today. He just needs to calm down, let the game come to him and not force what’s not there. But he has played better for sure

 

[SophiesDad]

College basketball is such a better product from a viewing aspect when the refs actually let the players play

 

[RoyKent]

Rough last couple minutes. Up 8, play great defense but UF gets a garbage basket, Allen forces a bad shot, Mintz can’t hold onto the ball. Should have been an 8-10 point halftime lead but 6 is pretty good.

 

[HenryMuto]

Great 1st half. Not sure they can hold on for the win though. Probably another nail bitter. We already had 2 SEC games come down to the final seconds so probably going to have another today.

 

[ScottGreene22]

35-27 I’m behind but KY looks like a basketball team

 

[CELTICAT]

I’ll take it

 

[Cat in ga]

Beat half we’ve played

 

[germuk]

Brooks has been a unifying force on defense. He’s been incredibly active and is covering a ton of ground which helps make up for the mistakes of others. He looks way stronger and quicker

 

[LmdCat]

Great defense by Askew. Gators got bailed out

They didn't get bailed out. We just didn't get the ball after playing great defense.

 

[podgejeff_]

Makes for a more watchable game.

I'd honestly rather watch these guys punch each other than have to sit through 3+ hours of free throw shooting and replays.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

Alright, alright, let's go! Nice half against a solid team who always plays us hard plus on the road. For all the Boston haters I think he played much better and passed the ball some instead of just firing away at will. Looked good swishing that 3.

 

[sam_o]

Yeah I suspect the decision to drive was made well before he had the ball.

It absolutely was. He is expected hard close outs now and was looking to attack that one but he had plenty of room. He will have to adjust to how teams are playing him

 

[STL_Cat]

I’m pleased

 

[KYExtemper]

Best half of basketball from this team all year. We play this way from here to March and we will be okay.
