UK vs Vanderbilt game thread

[zannmann]

Cal followed Bruisers lead and benched Boston in the 2nd half.

 

[KYWildCatsFan]

Cal actually ran a play and Allen played a lot of minutes. Are we in a alternate world?

 

[LmdCat]

Pippin pushed out with his right arm and tangled up with Sarr's arm; bs call

No

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

BB is fun again and don't say it was F-ing Vandy I don't care!

 

[KyCatFan1]

That 3 looked like Patrick Sparks against MSU. Thought it was going in.

 

[KYExtemper]

Glad to get the win but I thought that ball was going to bounce in. Whew.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Our HOF coach just drew up a HOF play. Just for you basketball bennies out there.

That's impossible tho

Cal doesn't draw up plays lol

 

[Oneandnotdone38]

Alright Cal actually called a decent play

Great shot by Mintz, but we paniced on our last posession. Had 3 timeouts left. Should have used 1.

Mintz got fouled on that drive looked me to me. But I am bias. It was more contact then the Sarr foul out for sure. Lol

GREAT GAME!!!!
I rescind all comments before this! They were overly critical and said in the heat of the battle..... from my couch....
GO BIG BLUE!!!

 

[UKfan2151]

We actually set a screen?!?!?! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Tom Cruise!

 

[Atrain7732]

A win is a win and always better than a loss. Take it and move on.

Altho that may be as close to a loss as a win can get that was UGLY.

Clearly joking before anyone gets triggered.

 

[maysvilleky]

Last 2 fouls on Sarr were cheap

Pippen initiated contact on both.

 

[wildcat1515]

Why didn't he call a timeout for last play.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Am I mistaken or did Kentucky go 4-6 from 3 in the 2nd half

 

[ala_kat2]

We are LUCKY!!!

Why not get the ball to Allen on the last possession???

Vandy shading him to make sure he doesn’t get a look.

 

[kyjeff1]

This would have been a completely different game if the refs didn't get their rocks off every 2 seconds.

I have been ragging on him alot lately and deservedly so. But that was a good play. I'll give him that.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

1. Cal drew up a nice play there. Should get props for that.

2. That kids shot reminded me of the Sparks shot versus KU, but didn’t go in.

 

[gwjenning]

Cal smartly kept Boston on the bench the last 5 minute!
Great to see Boston cheering the whole time though

 

[sam_o]

You gotta have the dirty guys who set screens like that. Boston doesn’t make that play for Mintz

 

[jameslee32]

Cal drew up a game winning play and Cats win!!

 

[CatEye2010]

A win is a win but this UK team blows.

Mintz drives gets no call pippen got everythin. I despise sec officials so much. Glad Vandy missed those last threes.

I didn't see a foul, he probably was, but Cal should have called timeout. He threw caution to the wind there.

 

[LmdCat]

I give Cal credit for the way he handled himself on the bench and for giving Allen lots of playing time. The team needs to figure out how to leverage a shooter like Allen. He can cause the opponent to make a lot of defensive mistakes on the floor if they would use him correctly.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Good victory.

It's a bit hard to get excited about a 3 point home win vs the worst SEC team when we were favored by 12 but..........yea

Still those are the type of wins that bring teams together. Almost everyone looked better today than a month ago..As you and I knew, it was going to take time and not having the summer, not having the exhibitions, not having the gimme games.. as it turns out, mattered.

Now we're 2nd in the SEC, 2-0, off to a good start.

 

[jbne222]

Need to clean up some things defensively and I have no idea how we get outrebounded by 13 against that team but the offense looks a lot better, even though its Vandy.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Were going to f*cking lose to Vandy!! Let. That. Sink. In. AT HOME...ugh. what a shittty year

Lol

It’s interesting everyone said it was Bruiser who sat Boston last game. Cal did same thing tonight altho not as long he was on the pine during crunch time.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Boston didn't have a good game. However, lets take the small steps. He did play better tonight. Incrementally, but it was better. He was less selfish. Im not saying you cant be disappointed, but he was better than he has been. If thats what we get out of him over the next 10-12 games before he puts it together then so be it.

Only 2 turnovers. Well take that.

 

[kyjeff1]

I believe that Sparks shot was against Michigan state. Wasn't that in the NCAAT?

 

[HagginHall1999]

This would have been a completely different game if the refs didn't get their rocks off every 2 seconds.

Solid win though. Vandy made a lot of 3's. Our rebounding was sub par. Happy about offense, frustrated with BBJr still.

Team is coming along.

 

[sam_o]

Sitting Boston the last 5 minutes was a huge part of winning, make no mistake

 

[mash_24]

Need Toppin out there In place of Boston and we may have something. Also Jackson has to play more than Ware. He’s just better. I’m not giving up on Boston. But right now the best thing for him might be watching from the Bench. Allen has to play major minutes. Only pure scorer we have. He didn’t play his best but still opened up the floor for everybody else and is always a threat from deep.

Yes it was MSU

Oh I agree. We still have a lot to fix and we have two guys out (I'm still counting Brooks). Vandy wanted this one bad. I just hope they.play everyone that way. They had the dribble drive going well.

True. Wouldn't hurt to shake it up. You have to wonder where Clarke fits into all of this. Really need Brooks back too.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Toppin getting all Boston minutes is a gooood thing especially late in the game.
