KY is 9-2 against KU in lexington!

These boys just can't shoot FTs worth a damn.

Livingston for 2

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:24 PM:

9-4 and rolling.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:24 PM:

Nice start. Good defense, good transition offense, even decent half-court offense.

Just need to hit the easy ones.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:25 PM:

Oscar needs a big game!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:25 PM:

Like Livingston getting out on the break.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:26 PM:

Wallace is leading scorer early with 3

KY's 4-5 from the floor early

4 for Livingston

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:26 PM:

Defense is going to be big part of this game. Cats need to be all over them!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:27 PM:

1-4 from the freethrow line, need to clean that up quick! Have to take advantage of free opportunities

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:28 PM:

Toppin with the give and go score

Livingston with the slam Oscar with the assist

Tshiewbe will be our leading assist man tonight!

Beautiful.

Reeves into the game Toppin out

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:31 PM:

Our offense just looks 100% better. Glad Cal reads the Cat's Domain. [Smile]

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:32 PM:

We are taking it to the rim tonight. Awesome!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:32 PM:

Looks like a 3 point play

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:32 PM:

Wallace for two and he got fouled

His FT is good

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:33 PM:

Good D by the Cats

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:33 PM:

Livingston with another transition bucket!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:33 PM:

Livingsotn for two on the fast break he has 8 points

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:34 PM:

20-18 KY leads with 11:04 left in half

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:34 PM:

That play bothers me. I don't like when an offensive player can lean into a defender's chest and it is a foul on the defender. That rule sucks.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:36 PM:

KY still shooting 69% early!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:37 PM:

Oscar is scoreless but has 3 assists

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:37 PM:

WE can't let up that's for sure!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:38 PM:

Toppin back into the game along with Wheeler

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:38 PM:

Shooting 69% and only up by 1!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:38 PM:

Uh-oh. Wheeler is in.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:39 PM:

Turnover on both teams

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:39 PM:

... and a shot-clock violation.

SIT DOWN, WHEELER.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:39 PM:

Turn-overs by both teams.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:40 PM:

Toppin shooting a three isn't exactly what I'm looking for on offense!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:40 PM:

Then a clunker three from Toppin.

We just lose our offensive identity when Wheeler is on the floor.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:40 PM:

Frerick out of the game

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:41 PM:

Wallace into the game

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:41 PM:

Muscle-bucket by Tshiewbe

Oscar with a basket

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:41 PM:

Wheeler fouls the driver.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:41 PM:

Looking pretty good so far. Don't like seeing Wheeler in

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:41 PM:

Wheeler called for his 1st foul KU now with a 2 point lead

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:42 PM:

Oscar are switches on the pick and they get a layip

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:42 PM:

Kansas up by two. Tshiewbe called for a phantom foul on the rebound.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:42 PM:

24-22 Kansas, got to play D and not let them drive!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:42 PM:

Oscar called for his 1st foul KY down 2 points KU with the ball

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:43 PM:

What is Toppin doing. Take good shots.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:43 PM:

We have stopped attacking the basket. Now we are settling for jumpers.

GET WHEELER OUT OF THERE.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:43 PM:

Toppin called for a foul KY still down 2

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:43 PM:

Cats getting a lot of fouls early!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:43 PM:

Please get CJ and Reeves back in.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:43 PM:

KU turnover

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:44 PM:

Good gets us the ball back!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:44 PM:

KU leads 24-22 with 7:58 to play KY ball!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:44 PM:

Our spacing is gone. We are settling for bad shots. We are not attacking the basket.

ALL of this started when Wheeler came in.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:45 PM:

Both teams shooting 58%. Either great offense, or bad defense.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:46 PM:

KY shooting 59% from the floor. Cats have 4 fouls early! 0-3 from 3pt land early

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:46 PM:

If Cal is smart we come back from to with reeves and CJ. We'll see

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:47 PM:

KU is 2-4 from three point land early!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:47 PM:

Toppin started off aggressive, taking it to the paint. Now he is shooting long jumpers. Note to Toppin... that ain't your game.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:47 PM:

Neither team finding 2nd chance opportunities. KY has ZERO offensive reobunds, KU has 1

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:47 PM:

Got to get out on their shooters!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:48 PM:

And there's our answer

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:48 PM:

Wheeler still in

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:48 PM:

KU with a 4 point lead

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:49 PM:

1 shooter on the floor. Good finish by Oscar.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:49 PM:

Good put-back and got fouled!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:50 PM:

Oscar with a score off a Wallace assist and he gets fouled

His FT is good Oscar gets a breather

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:50 PM:

26-25 KU!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:50 PM:

Our pick and roll D is awful. Nice play UK

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:50 PM:

Ware in for Tshiewbe, and we get burned for the ally-oop.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:50 PM:

Toppin with hte slam

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:51 PM:

Nice basket!!!!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:51 PM:

It's like we don't pressure the ball or cover the roll, and no rotation. It's got to be better.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:51 PM:

Toppin with his 2nd foul

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:51 PM:

Frederick is our best passer. Love his court awareness.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:51 PM:

30-27 Kansas!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:52 PM:

Nice look for Frederick, with a screen!!!!

But, he missed.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:52 PM:

Reeves for two

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:52 PM:

cj shot looked good rhough

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:52 PM:

30-29 Cats down!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:53 PM:

No foul????

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:53 PM:

Need to make these fts.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:53 PM:

They are allowing KU to have all the contact they want!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:53 PM:

Cats down 3 with the ball

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:54 PM:

3-8 on fts. Not gonna win with that.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:54 PM:

Ware leaves the first FT short.

And bricks the second.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:54 PM:

Ware at the line for two

He goes 0-2 ware is 6-19 on the season

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:54 PM:

Ware 0-2 from the line!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:55 PM:

No rebounding off our shots. Thankfully, Kansas isn't either.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:55 PM:

Still haven't hit a three in teh game!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:55 PM:

Cats down 5!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:55 PM:

I guess this is a "no-blood, no-foul" kind of game.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:56 PM:

I'd be okay seeing Oscar back in soon.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:56 PM:

KY trails by 5 with 3:48 to play in teh half and KU can do what they want on the defensive end! Not going to call teh fouls on them!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:56 PM:

Kansas will get the ball leading by 5!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:56 PM:

FTs are killing us right now.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 08:57 PM:

We got to make our free throws!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:57 PM:

KY trailing on the glass 15-10 early we need to fight for rebounds!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:58 PM:

Losing this game at the FT line early! 3-8 at the line won't beat most teams!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:58 PM:

They've called 7 fouls on Kansas, 5 on UK. I'm okay if they let us play and stay consistent. Just hate it when the refs are all over the place with their calls.

Posted by Bigcatdaddy (Member # 21) on 01-28-2023, 08:58 PM:

CJ needs a couple to drop.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 08:58 PM:

Our offense just fell apart when Wheeler came in. I am happy we are getting Frederick open looks from the arc, but they aren't falling yet.

Defensively, we can't handle their paint drives.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:58 PM:

KU hasn't lost to a team they've lost the rebounding battle with so far this season!

Posted by EnterpriseCat (Member # 2881) on 01-28-2023, 08:58 PM:

KU is blocking out with a vengeance. No 2nd chance points.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 08:59 PM:

Why Wheeler again?

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 08:59 PM:

KU ball out of the timeout up 5 points! make that a 7 point lead

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:00 PM:

Why is Wheeler on the floor?

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:00 PM:

Oscar fouled under the basket

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:00 PM:

Everyone standing around again as Oscar posts. Do they know we can do both

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:00 PM:

Free throws will hurt us all season unless they start practicing extra hard in practice.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:00 PM:

This is ridiculous

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:00 PM:

Oscar at line for 1+1

He goes 0-1

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:01 PM:

Tshiewbe bricks the front end of the one-and-one.

I guess this gives new meaning to "one and done"...

We don't look good at all on FTs.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:01 PM:

One would think Cal would be all over them for standing around!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:02 PM:

I don't like this standing around and everyone just looking to get it to Oscar. That is not really when we're at our best offensively.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:02 PM:

Oscar fouled goes back to the line for 1+1

He goes 1-2

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:02 PM:

OMG! Tshiewbe hit one of two FTs.

Damn, we suck at the line.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:02 PM:

Down 6, need a run bad!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:03 PM:

Not looking good.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:03 PM:

Our free throw shooting is not good at all!

Wallace called for the foul his 1st

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:03 PM:

Kansas getting the loose balls. They are just out-hustling us.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:03 PM:

Oscar needs to be shooting 200 FTs a day. He's terrible from there.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:03 PM:

Down 9, 2:31 to go. Wheeler still in.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:03 PM:

Down 9! Ouch!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:04 PM:

The lead grows to 9 as KU is hitting their FT's

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:04 PM:

Nice bucket by Reeves. Now for some d.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:04 PM:

What the hell??

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:04 PM:

Nice jumper by Reeves!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:04 PM:

KY trails by 7 KU with the ball

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:04 PM:

Ouch. Reeves misses everything on the long 3.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:05 PM:

Now we shoot a air-ball!!!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:05 PM:

There's that pick and roll D again. We suck at that

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:05 PM:

KY trails by 9 again off easy KU lob dunk!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:05 PM:

That same play is working for Kansas every time.

Do we not see it?

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:05 PM:

Defense not looking good either!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:05 PM:

That's on reeves for passing it with 5 seconds left

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:06 PM:

KY with a shot clock violation! 5th KY turnover of the half!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:06 PM:

VERY poor possession.

Why is Wheeler on the Floor?

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:06 PM:

No excuse for not getting a shot off!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:07 PM:

Better D that time down!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:07 PM:

KY trails by 9 with the ball KU looking a lot smoother than we are in this game!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:07 PM:

Wheeler is in because Cal is bad. Just don't get it.

Posted by EnterpriseCat (Member # 2881) on 01-28-2023, 09:07 PM:

KU is blocking out with a vengeance. No 2nd chance points.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:07 PM:

Cal takes a timeout with 32 seconds left, down 9. This isn't looking very good.

Oklahoma blew out Bama by 24. Auburn lost to WVU. Is the SEC really this bad????

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Our pick and roll D has been bad all year. Do we not work on it, or does Cal not know how to teach it anymore.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Toppin hasn't got a rebound tonight and Oscar has 5 KU leads on teh glass 21-12

Posted by EnterpriseCat (Member # 2881) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Wheeler? Really, Cal?

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Hope Cal can get his team playing harder and attacking the basket!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Well, that worked out

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Wheeler for two

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:08 PM:

Much better down 7 at the half

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:09 PM:

UK goes to the locker room down by 7. It feels worse than that.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:09 PM:

41-34 KU leads at the half!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:09 PM:

We're lucky to be down 7. Terrible defense and offense got real stagnat. Wheeler can't play this much.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:10 PM:

Why all of the sudden does Cal think Wheeler is going to be the savoir in this game?

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:11 PM:

We have 0 offensive rebounds.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:11 PM:

KU with a 9-0 advantage on 2nd chance points

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:12 PM:

21-13 is the rebounding difference in teh game!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:12 PM:

Is Thiero still on the team? Does Cal know? He sure seemed to be progressing well and then nothing. I sure would like to see him get at least some of Wheelers minutes.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:13 PM:

Toppin and Livingston both with 8 points to lead for KY.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:14 PM:

If you can't guard the ball screen at least mix in some zone to give them a different look. Will Cal make any adjustments? Doubt it. We just roll with the same plan every game no matter what is going on.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:14 PM:

4-11 from the FT line will lose you a lot of games!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:14 PM:

We are going to play much better in the 2nd half. We have to get back on defense...

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:15 PM:

Toppin with 0 rebounds. He's got to do better.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:15 PM:

Oscar and Toppin both with 2 fouls in the 1st half!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:16 PM:

KY did shoot 55% from the floor in the 1st half

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:17 PM:

How can a UK team go 4-11 on free throws? That is flat-out terrible!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:19 PM:

Yeah, the FT shooting is inexcusable. I guess Cal counts on them to work on that on their own. Not sure why so many of his teams have been bad from the line over the years. There has to be a reason.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:23 PM:

We need to get a few three's to drop

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:25 PM:

We need to focus on rebounding the ball this half!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:25 PM:

"Hopefully" we will come out and play a super second half.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:26 PM:

No 3s, 4-11 on FTs, 0 offensive rebounds. I guess we're lucky to be down 7

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:26 PM:

Bad shot by Oscar.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:27 PM:

I guess the plan at half is to just throw it in to Oscar even though they ha e been doubling him.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:27 PM:

It is clear that Cal has told his team to go to Tshiewbe, first, Tshiewbe second, and only then, go to Tshiewbe.

Livingston with the foul KU extending their lead

Not a good start to the second half

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:28 PM:

So much open space for Kansas to operate in.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:28 PM:

Our only chance is to get the opponents injured.

KY trails by 9

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:29 PM:

Now we can't shoot

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:29 PM:

We can't buy a basket now

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:29 PM:

Too many poor offensive sets.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:29 PM:

Need a run, no doubt about that!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:30 PM:

Let's settle in and play OUR game.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:30 PM:

Finally.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:30 PM:

Cats down 9 with the ball

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:30 PM:

Wallace for three

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:30 PM:

Inside-out for the three!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:30 PM:

Just bad defense by Oscar on every pick

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:31 PM:

Reeves fouled on the curl

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:31 PM:

Cats down 8 and at the line for 2!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:31 PM:

Reeves to the line for 2 shots

He goes 2-2

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:32 PM:

Woah! Reeves hit 2 of 2 from the line.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:32 PM:

Go2-2!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:32 PM:

Good play by Kansas. Love their offense.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:32 PM:

My God, Oscar is terrible on picks.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:32 PM:

Oscar for two

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:33 PM:

Down 6!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:33 PM:

Good move. He just has to keep knowing where that double is.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:33 PM:

Oscar for two more KU takes a timeout lead cut to 4

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:33 PM:

Good offense the last two trips.

Keep it up, Cats.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:33 PM:

Down 4!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:34 PM:

Oscar now with 10 points

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:34 PM:

Starting to look like a UK basketball team!!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:35 PM:

KY's 18-33 from the floor but just 1-7 from three point land!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:35 PM:

If we don't figure out how to hedge on picks and fight through them we won't win. Kansas can score at a real high rate if they just keep putting Oscar in those.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:35 PM:

We can't let up on both ends of the court.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:37 PM:

For once, Bilas nailed it. We don't close out on the driver on that "mid-court ball screen" they run. Add in the fact that we don't rotate over to cover the guy rolling to the rim... and they score too damn easily.

I hope we can figure this out. Basketball 101.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:38 PM:

OScar for two

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:38 PM:

Tshiewbe throws a TERRIBLE pass, and then blames Toppin?

That isn't good chemisty, guys. Not good at all.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:38 PM:

I just don't understand how we don't know how to defend pucks. It just really bad

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:39 PM:

They are getting the lucky bounces. We need to force the issue and keep our focus on defense.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:40 PM:

51-45 with 14:08 to play. We need a score here and start getting some stops on the defensive end!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:40 PM:

51-45 with time-out on the floor-!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:41 PM:

Oscar is only Cat in double figures with 12 points

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:41 PM:

We need run preferably a big one!!!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:42 PM:

Reeves and Fredrick both 0-2 from three point land!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:43 PM:

Oscar is carrying us!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:43 PM:

Bad post feed by Frederick that time, but good defense on the other end.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:44 PM:

We turn it over ouch!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:44 PM:

We look sloppy out of the timeout!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:45 PM:

Down 6 and the Cats have the ball

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:45 PM:

They are surrounding the bucket on every one of our shots, denying us offensive boards.

We should have some great transition opportunities if Toppin and Tshiewbe can compete for the carom.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:45 PM:

Can he make FTs

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:45 PM:

Got to get the ball down low!!!

Make that down 4

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:47 PM:

That has to be a foul.

Come on, refs.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:48 PM:

Oscar gets pushed to the floor and refs look the other way for an easy KU basket! WOW!!!!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:48 PM:

Now down 6, need a run!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:48 PM:

KY now with 9 turnovers in the game! Terrible officiating!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:49 PM:

This has become a meme this year. Opponents can just shove and push Tshiewbe with impunity.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:49 PM:

Didn't need to pass to him there. They had 2 guys on him and Reeves was wide open on the wing corner.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:50 PM:

WE to go on a big run!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:50 PM:

KY with only 1 offensive rebound on the night!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:50 PM:

We need to get our best five in there and make the run.

That inside-out game has worked every time we tried it. Let's do that every trip down the floor.

But honestly, we need to rebound better. We are just getting embarrassed on the boards.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:51 PM:

We are not boxing out when the shots go up!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:51 PM:

Reeves and Fredrick neither have hit an outside shot

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 09:51 PM:

We need Reeves or CJ to get some looks and knock them down. They'll take Oscar away at some point.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:52 PM:

Fredrick misses 2 three point attempts!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:52 PM:

Toppin just got shoved two feet on the rebound.

No call.

But our shooters are really failing us tonight.

Come on CJ

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 09:53 PM:

Fredrick throws it away!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 09:53 PM:

Wouldn't hurt if we start to hit some shots!

Oh no. Wheeler is in. Lord help us.

Better D that time down

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 09:57 PM:

People always talk about how much "speed" Wheeler has. But speed does nothing without control and an idea of what you are going to do.

UK has hit all 8 of its FTs this half!

What a differnce.

Wallace for two

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:02 PM:

Wallace curls to the bucket. Now... DEFENSE

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:03 PM:

Nice drive and basket!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:03 PM:

Wilson is tough.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:03 PM:

WHAT???? That was an offensive foul, but Toppin gets called instead.

These refs SUCK

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:04 PM:

Okay, that was terrible. And we give up a dunk out of bounds. Cone on guys.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:04 PM:

Terrible call!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:04 PM:

Cats to the line!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:04 PM:

Reeves to the line for 1+1

He goes 2-2

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:04 PM:

Honestly, our head just isn't in the game tonight. Too many mental errors.

Really disappointed with our rebounding and our outside shooting.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:05 PM:

2-2 YES!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:05 PM:

Down 2, need a run!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:05 PM:

Wallace called for a foul his 2nd foul

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:06 PM:

Another walk not called on Kansas.

Then a sissy-foul called on Dick's drive.

Bad, bad refereeing.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:06 PM:

Down 4 and the ball!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:06 PM:

Toppin for two the lead is 2

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:06 PM:

The refs are trying really hard to send Kansas home with a win.

We need to deny them the pleasure.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:06 PM:

What makes Cal think Wheeler is who we need in cruch time? He hadn't played the whole half and now Cal is leaving him in.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:07 PM:

Down 2 now some D!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:07 PM:

Oscar for two

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:07 PM:

Keep doing that, Cats.

But, for God's sake, PLAY SOME DEFENSE.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:08 PM:

Ouch down 5!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:08 PM:

Cats at the line for 2!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:08 PM:

Oscar for two FTs, down 6.

Kansas is heating up from the arc. That is a dagger for our hopes.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:08 PM:

I can't tell you how many shots Kansas has made over Oscar. His defense is just not good at all. Last 2 3s were because of his inability to guard picks.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:08 PM:

Oscar will go to the line for 2 after the last TV timeout. KY trails 70-64 we need some defensive stops!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:09 PM:

Back to back three point shots for KU really hurt!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:09 PM:

Got to make our run now, time running out.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:10 PM:

I know CJ hasn't hit shots, but he is a better defender and probably passer than Wheeler. Plus guys still stay atta he'd to him even if he is missing.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:10 PM:

We can't buy a three-pointer, nor an offensive rebound. And we sure can't defend.

Not good. Not good at all.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:11 PM:

KY 9-18 this half from the floor!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:11 PM:

We have to do a better job getting out on their shooters, those 3's hurt.

We need to be aggressive on D. Only 3 team fouls on us

And we're in double bonus

Ouch.

Ball game.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:13 PM:

That 3 hurt bad!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:13 PM:

Stupid by Toppin and why is he posting? Also, wheelers man isn't even guarding him.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:14 PM:

Oh sure. Call Toppin for the same thing his opponent did earlier.

Can't buy any luck.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:14 PM:

Cal finally gets him out

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:14 PM:

Toppin for two

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:14 PM:

Down 5!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:14 PM:

Toppin gives Wilson way too much room.

Poor, poor defense.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:15 PM:

Does Toppin ever have a hand up on his perimeter D? I swear he has both hands down all the time.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:15 PM:

They hit another 3!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:15 PM:

KY has hit thier last 5 three's

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:15 PM:

We aren't good enough defensively

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:15 PM:

That 3 was a 2!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:16 PM:

How can you give the other team's best scorer 5 feet on defense?

All my optimism about this team is melting away.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:16 PM:

7 point game 1:40 to play

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:17 PM:

Bad offense. Of course we run the same play we always run out of timeouts to get Oscar the ball and Kansas was ready for it.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:17 PM:

DID WE GET A CALLL ALL NIGHT?

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:17 PM:

Wide open drive down the lane missed. That is pure luck.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:18 PM:

Over

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:18 PM:

Down 7 53 seconds to play

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:18 PM:

Reeves misses everything.

This is an L.

Sad reversion. We started out playing so well.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:18 PM:

I guess we just quit. Why would you not foul right away

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:19 PM:

Bills said when UK watches this film. Does he know we don't watch film

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:19 PM:

Oh sure. Foul their best FT shooter.

Dumb, dumber, dumbest.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:19 PM:

That sums it up

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2023, 10:19 PM:

Game looks to be over and we lose again; 7th!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:20 PM:

SEC embarrassed by the Big 12. What a horrible game by UK.

No heart, no IQ.

I am worried about the team chemistry.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:20 PM:

I think Cal stayed with Wheeler entirely too long in that second half! He's not a scorer!

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:22 PM:

Wheeler had no business being on the floor. On defense, he is a liablity. On offense, nobody even bothers to guard him. We are playing 4-on-5 when he is in the game.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:22 PM:

Oscar finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds to lead KY. He'll have to ice the bruises that KU gave him tonight but didn't get called for!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:23 PM:

Wallace and Toppin had 14 points each!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:23 PM:

We shot 22 FTs to their 10 and it was 11 fouls on them to our 4 until we started fouling. Unfortunately it wasn't the refs. It was not knowing how the heck to defend picks, poor shooting, and no adjustments defensively from Cal. This was just a reality check game. Win streak was nice, but we are not a threat for any kind of championship.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:23 PM:

In the last timeout, Cal tells his team to "have fun".

Really? That is what your hall-of-fame career brought forth from the depth of your wisdom?

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:23 PM:

KU wins rebounding battle 34-29 and KY finished with ZERO 2nd chance points!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:24 PM:

Reeves finished with 10 points

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:25 PM:

Offensive rebounding is about effort and heart.

Guess we don't have any.

Posted by Tiptree (Member # 844) on 01-28-2023, 10:25 PM:

OK, I am going to take my bad attitude and go to bed.

Very, very disappointed.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:25 PM:

KY went just 2-13 from three point land! Not numbers that will win you ball gmaes!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:27 PM:

KY finished shooting 16-23 from the line but 7 big misses in the first half

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:28 PM:

Fredrick finished with just 2 points and didn't see teh floor much in the second half!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2023, 10:29 PM:

KU shot 12 more shots than KY hitting 6 more! Our defense really let us down tongiht!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 10:29 PM:

Even in the win streak you could still see the lack of quality coaching in game. Yeah we won, and he did put some new offensive mvt in, but still no adjustments to cover our defensive weakness, and this game he goes back to playing Wheeler alot. Everything is clogged in the lane when he is in. I'm sure Thiero will transfer. I wouldn't blame him. And how does a college team not know how to defend picks? Maybe try trapping the ball on every pick, or something different. We just switch, drop, and give up open shot after open shot.

Posted by ProBlue (Member # 2944) on 01-28-2023, 10:46 PM:

Why didn't he play Any zone ? Plays a good Coach and gets beat again. Back to DVR on the KY games again !! You can have FUN in the locker room after you win the game . Talking to them like their a Pee Wee team . Mercy ! Mercy !!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 01-28-2023, 11:00 PM:

Cal just ain't a great coach. Once again no adjustments to anything the other team is doing. He never does anything different to try to stop the other team. He just rolls out the same plan every game. We are seriously the easiest team in America to prepare for. Maybe he is just saving a zone, or changing defenses out of timeouts, for the championship game because he knows the other team would never see it coming:) It would be the element of surprise for sure.

Posted by Bama Cat (Member # 153) on 01-29-2023, 10:21 PM:

The SEC/Big 12 challenge just shows why we win and lose. For all the hoopla about the SEC getting 7 teams in the tourney, you may want to think that over a little more. About us winning 4 in a row against the SEC, that streak don't look so positive now that the SEC took a beating in the challenge. Saturday won't be our last regular season loss. Good chance we'll have double digit losses before the SEC tourney.
