To be honest we should have beat this team by a lot more than we are going to.

Posted by SCWC (Member # 2464) on 01-17-2017, 09:23 PM:

Brisco and Monk's worst games this season. Thank goodness for Fox, he carried them down the stretch. I consider Fox the most important player on this team, they can rave about Monk all they want but Fox is the man that takes over when we need a big basket.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:24 PM:

I don't think Willis attempted a shot In the second half!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:24 PM:

16 t/o's is sick and only 17 against Valpo earlier in the season was more.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:24 PM:

Gabriel was KY's leading rebounder with 8

Posted by SCWC (Member # 2464) on 01-17-2017, 09:25 PM:

Willis was not on the floor over 3 or 4 minutes in the second half after having a good shooting first half. His defense is extremely weak, he should be blocking some shots on these small driving to the rim guards but seems to step aside rather than challenge the shots.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:25 PM:

16 turnovers was just 1 shy of the season high!
We had 17 against Valparaiso

How about the messanger? Pretty good game.

There were 52 fouls called in that game!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:29 PM:

Willis thought the drought in the second half was lack of discipline

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:30 PM:

Willis doesn't think the Cats are communicating very well!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:31 PM:

Willis doesn't feel like they are progressing like they should!

Posted by EnterpriseCat (Member # 2881) on 01-17-2017, 09:32 PM:

Defense has to improve or we will have an early exit in the tournament.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:32 PM:

Willis is Willis and you never know what he is going to do. Hopefully he will get more consistent and play up to his capabilities.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:34 PM:

They out scored us the second half.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:34 PM:

Now we get ready for the Gamecocks coming to Rupp on Saturday! 6 o'clock tip time!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:35 PM:

We played real good the first half and didn't play the first part of the second half that bad.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:35 PM:

MSU shot 3% better from the floor than KY!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:35 PM:

State hit only 54% of their FT's which was a saving grace!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 09:36 PM:

MSU only hit 5-17 from three point land as well!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:41 PM:

We were whistled for 24 fouls.

Posted by SCWC (Member # 2464) on 01-17-2017, 09:41 PM:

I agree with Willis, this team seem to be going backwards. They play no defense, are so easy taken off the dribble it is not even funny and Fox and Briscoe are starting to show some selfish play. Willis said they are having some commuication problems and it really showed tonight. This team can score but by far are Cal's weakest defensive team since he has been at UK.

Adebayo didn't have one of his better games only taking 2 shots in 20 minutes of play and scoring 5 points.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:51 PM:

Gabriel also played 20 minutes but went 5-5 from the filed and 3-3 from the 3 point line for 13 points.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 09:54 PM:

Monk went 5-14 from the field, 0-3 from the 3 point line and 3 boards.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 10:08 PM:

The 10th consecutive win in the series actually ties it with another 10 win streak for Ky that took place back in the 60's

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 10:09 PM:

Monk is the biggest reason why this game was closer than it should have been. WHen his shot isn't falling KY struggles to put up big numbers!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 10:10 PM:

Gabriel is suddenly getting better and better! Comes off a 16 rebound night on Saturday to have a season high 13 points going 3-3 from deep!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-17-2017, 10:12 PM:

I think after we jumped out to that 18 point lead we relaxed! Started getting sloppy and it cost us a big lead!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 10:14 PM:

The downside is after half-time we came out and got out-scored in the 2nd half 47-42. That can't happen with the talent we have especially after winning the first half by 12 points.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-17-2017, 10:16 PM:

Good teams would add to that lead and play the subs the last 10 minutes of the game. We have to much talent to play like we did in the second half.

Posted by SCWC (Member # 2464) on 01-18-2017, 05:22 AM:

And Miss State are a younger team than we are. They are the youngest team in division one basketball this year, we are the fifth youngest.

Posted by SCWC (Member # 2464) on 01-18-2017, 05:56 PM:

That is what I have been saying all season long. This team appears to me to be the weakest defensive team Cal has had during his tenure at UK. They can score a lot of points but don't seem to have bought into playing good, solid team defense as of yet. Cal said they were about a month behind defensively on his after the game show following the Vandy game. This team do not have a rim protector and I have felt all year that they were no better than an elite eight team at best. I enjoy watching them but am not setting my bar too high for this group to win a national championship, just not a good solid inside game and very little prospect of having one with this group. I will just continue to enjoy the season and hope.
