*****Texas A&M @ Kentucky official game thread*****

[TheBlueMist]

So far, I an not inspired by our play, but I also don't feel threatened by this shorthanded Texas A&M team. Cats by 12.

 

[mhroe1984]

Aggies average five 3's a game in the SEC so naturally they come into Rupp and hit three in the first 10 mins.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Man Brea is either on or pressing, looks like he is gonna press to score tonight

 

[bbnkat02]

This is just gonna be a rock fight. That's the way Buzz plays. Just gotta take it and hope you scrape out a win. If we can get some threes to fall, it would help.

 

[EliteBlue]

Honestly, this is a great effort so far. Plenty of shots haven't gone down, but seeing these guys rip the damn ball away on rebounds is refreshing. The shots will come.

Amari is active on defense right now. Keep it up, AW!

This. So far there’s no reason for some of the negativity. Shots aren’t falling yet but they are winning the glass and if they continue that, then we should leave with a W. We knew AMs strategy would be to muck it up and eat the shotclock with token pressure.

 

[ukcatz12]

Atmosphere sounds absolutely pitiful. Crowd is dead silent and this is the 11th ranked team in the country coming into Rupp. Rupp sucks these days.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Feels like we’re winning if you didn’t look at the scoreboard. Just keep shooting. They’ll start to fall.

 

[Seth_C]

Should be up 10 but can’t hit a darn thing.

Yep. Basically need one “kill shot” explosive run of 10+ to 0

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

not sure what's going on

yup. it's like visiting a damn funeral

 

[ala_kat2]

Aggies average five 3's a game in the SEC so naturally they come into Rupp and have already hit three in the first 10 mins.

It’s the Rupp effect and “nothing to lose” , “David against Goliath” syndrome. So far, we need some of that on our team.

 

[TheBlueMist]

We have been called a "bounce back" team because have played well in big games after a loss, but I also feel like we follow big wins with sloppy games where our shooters press their shots.

 

[ukwildcat2004]

That's a charge on the other end.

I disagree. The crowd has been extremely loud when there's something to cheer

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Thay ball went out on the missed 3. Just rewound it.

 

[ManitouDan]

Cmon guys get your crap ( and your desire ) together

 

[sefus12]

This is not a great start for our offense.

 

[sefus12]

This has the look of a game we are going to lose in a completely maddening way.

 

[MbergCat]

We look AWFUL

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

2 guys Brea and Robinson taking all the shots and missing them

 

[LineSkiCat14]

FIX
THE
*******
SHOOTAROUNDS

I'm gonna say this over and over.

 

[bbnkat02]

lol.....A&M outshooting us from three. You can't make this crap up.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

Embarrassing offensive performance

 

[The_Catfather]

Wish I could've bet a prop on them hitting more than their average of 5 3s a game. That's a bet you could unload your 401k into and watch totally stress-free.

 

[fatguy87]

Can't make a shot

 

[OneSpeedyBoi96]

we can't hit a thing right now

 

[Farsight]

Why are we stagnant on offense and no motion? Where are the cuts, where is the back doors?

 

[RoyKent]

Good lord this is hideous.

0 points in 4:00….these droughts are going to cost us at some point

 

[ala_kat2]

What is wrong with these guys? Butler sir ball from 12 feet.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Really out of sync so far, if we made at least half our threes this is a double digit lead

 

[BigRickWithTheBig___Suv]

why does our rebounding suck so much?

 

[bbnkat02]

Man, what has happened to that crisp offense. SMH.

 

[mrjuk]

Yeah just keep fouling us till we get something going

 

[FirewithFire]

ESPN right on time with the obligatory Flagg mention.

 

[TheBlueMist]

We need to quit playing like we are up 20 in the second half. Come one guys, dial in before the second half this time.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

..... wtf

 

[ManitouDan]

My imagination or Butler shoot an air ball from 14 ft on a wide open J ???? wTH

 

[NociHTTP]

I'm glad they're going to Carr, and relying on Amari to step up. Kobe is going to have to start doing more on offense, besides hang around on the arc.

 

[clew84]

This game is weird. Hate the flow.
