Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 05:47 PM:
This is not a game where we can miss layups. We've already misses 2 WIDE open layups. Amari is going to have to learn how to dunk the ball this game and finish inside.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 05:49 PM:
Why will Williams not dunk the ball??? He missed another wide open dunk that he double clutched for no reason and missed.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 05:50 PM:
WIlliams goes coast to coast and FINALLY hits a layup and gets fouled!
KY leads 18-10 Williams will be at line for the And1 after media timeout!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 05:51 PM:
We should be up by 12 if Amari will just make his layups, and dunk the ball.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 05:51 PM:
I don't know whether Amari is moving to fast and just needs to slow down a step or what the problem is.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 05:52 PM:
Oweh has also missed a couple of layups today, too!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:01 PM:
Looking pretty good so far, but we should be up more. I don't like it when we allow teams to stay close because of missing easy opportunities. Need to stop fouling.
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 03-23-2025, 06:03 PM:
Better start than I expected. 4 missed layups. We should be up 20.
Posted by rlt4uk (Member # 3194) on 03-23-2025, 06:03 PM:
Chandler is playing well
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:05 PM:
Back to back turnovers by KY
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:06 PM:
Williams is a liability right now. I don't know what's going on with him. We need him to play well
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:06 PM:
KY's 12 point lead has been cut to 6 and Pope uses a timeout!
Oweh will be well rested for the 2nd half!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:07 PM:
We are letting them back in this game. That's why missing those layups by Williams are so big. It should be a 10 point game.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:08 PM:
Garrison with aput back shot
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:08 PM:
Williams defense is bad, offense is bad. HE just seems disinterested, again.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:09 PM:
Boswell killing us off the dribble!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:09 PM:
On ball defense is bad again
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:09 PM:
27-21 with 3:47 to play in half Ivisic just picked up his 2nd foul
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:10 PM:
This team is 322 in 3 pt percentage, and like top 10 in 3 pt shots taken. Sounds like a good game to maybe use a little zone. Especially if Boswell keeps driving to the basket at will.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:10 PM:
We've only hit 1 of our last 6 shots. That was a put back shot by Garrison!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:12 PM:
I don't understand why so many coaches are anti zone in college. Pitino would have won yesterday if he went zone some. The game before when Kansas went zone Arkansas fell apart and let them back in the game. We all know Cal doesn't know what to do against zone defense.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:13 PM:
We just can't guard the dribble penetration
Butler for three KY by 7
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:14 PM:
We should be up bigger. Again another drive to the basket.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:14 PM:
Pope, please play some zone today. We need to use it.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:15 PM:

Almonor for three
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:19 PM:
I'm venting right now, but Pope needs to wake the heck up and realize we cannot stop them from getting in the lane. HE is being plain stupid right now. They can't score from outside and we are gifting them drives to the basket, and giving this game away because of stupid coaching.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:21 PM:
Noah is fouled on a 3pt attempt
he goes 2-3

Butler leads KY with 10 points, Brea has 9
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:24 PM:
Oweh, Garrison and Chandler all have 2 fouls each!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:24 PM:
Not a good half overall. Lucky to be ahead. 50% on FT's, 3 missed layups (wide open), and porous defense. We have to play better defense and Pope needs to mix it up some. They shoot 31% from 3 on the year, and will shoot alot of them whether they are making them or not. We have proven we can't stop the drive without fouling. If we play man the whole game there is a good chance we lose this game because of fouls and giving them layups.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-23-2025, 06:47 PM:
Good start and solid defense. Hopefully we figured out how to defend their pick and pop action.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-23-2025, 06:48 PM:
We look so much better when we score out of transition than we do in a half court game!

I'm glad Williams dunked it instead of trying a layup:)
