35 points at half plus good D

Winning formula

 

[RoyKent]

He has to shoot this!!! Come on man.

 

[STL_Cat]

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

Yeah, I meant we bailed them out

 

[Bigblueamyou]

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

Yeah ok stop with the bashing of cal when it wasn’t deserved

 

[SophiesDad]

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.

Florida 1st half spread was -2 1/2. Being up 6 @ Florida at the half is great

 

[59coop]

The ones in blue is U.K., right?

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Cats have made real strides since starting SEC play.

white

 

[BradleyCrawford08_rivals]

Up by 6 at half. This is the best I have seen them play this season.

Some people always need somebody to blame. They can't just live with the idea of "the player failed to execute".

 

[ukfan117]

Heck yea, I'll talk it as well. Boston played better and like some of you said in the comments, if Boston would slow it down, he would be able to have a better shot. But Boston doesn't need to be our scoring PG, he's more of a distributer than a pure scoring PG. Allen played some great defense. I missed most of the first half. How many points did Allen have?

Did you read what he said?

Or all their years watching basketball on their couch they know basketball better now lol

 

[katwest]

I'm pleased with what I have seen from everybody, wish we could have held on to the ball, several times we had it and lost it somehow, looked like it just flew out of their arms. It seemed like Florida scored when it happened those times. They played great defense and moved and shot the ball pretty good on offense.

We were saying dontaie had already chosen to pump fake the close out before he received the pass. It’s a common basketball mistake. What the hell does Cal have to do with it?

 

[ukfan117]

I hope you all have had a good week and been safe going out. God bless you my fellow brother and sisters when it comes to Kentucky. We are a a family and love Kentucky basketball.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Game seems to be slowing down for Boston. He is letting the game come to him. Great to see.

 

[sam_o]

Did you read what he said?

Yes. We were saying Dontaie made up his mind to pump and attack the close out before he received the pass. Idk what the hell you and that other guy are even talking about lol

 

[GLR5555]

I like.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

At the half. What is in your snifter?

I don't know, I was only replying to that guy and the general "Cal is the problem with everything" that has permeated around here lately.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

The person who thought Boston was going to have a great game can forget about it.

I'm sticking with him. Only shot 6 times, a nice 3, and a dunk. Has 5 pts and 2 rebs and 2 steals and zero TOs. Seems like he should have an assist to on that last steal where he ripped it away from the Gator and pashed to Mintz in the corner for the swish. He's playing within himself after taking a couple of bad shots early looked good after that.

 

[sam_o]

Or all their years watching basketball on their couch they know basketball better now lol

Lol what? We were literally saying Dontaie failed to execute. He made up his mind before he ever received the ball. Some of y’all are a little slow on the uptake

 

[LmdCat]

Stop bashing the poster when it isn't deserved. The poster has every right to post his opinion even if you don't agree with it.

 

[HoneyMoon155]

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

Seriously, blaming Cal?

 

[sam_o]

I don't know, I was only replying to that guy and the general "Cal is the problem with everything" that has permeated around here lately.

Oh well idk about all of that I was talking about actual basketball. Dontaie had a bad read there that’s what I was getting at

 

[Bigblueamyou]

I’ll bash him if I think it’s deserved,if you don’t like it then put me on ignore.

That is a long way from having a great game. His first shot was the craziest shot I have ever seen. I guess you have placed the bar very low if you think Boston is anywhere close to having a great game.

Have to improve that last stat.

 

[CatEye2010]

Bench with 16, 10 assists to only 5 turnovers. I like it!

That is good advice and you should use it.

its progress

 

[UK_fan_41102]

 

[LmdCat]

I didn't say it wasn't progress. I said it wasn't close to being great.

 

[G-PIP]

About the only glaring negative was the spanking on the boards. I didn't really expect that. But, you give up something you get something, whatever, just win this game and I'll be happy.

 

[podgejeff_]

I 100% agree with that.

I really was just replying to the one guy.

I never said he would have a great game. I said I thought he would have a good game and look improved. So far he looks on pace for just that. He did take 2 bad shots early but then made a 3 and had 2 steals. I don't think he is going to have 20-10 I just think he is going to contribute and not shoot us in the foot which would be a huge step forward for him.
