They better get it going in the second half!

Where is the energy? Wallace out with an ankle. Hope he's ok. No easy shots for us.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:29 PM:

Reeves is struggling big time. We need him to start being himself, or someone else has to get going. 3/10 for Reeves and 1/6 for Toppin. 33% as a team ain't gonna get it done.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:34 PM:

We've left 7 points on FT line and Being outscored by 15 from three point land 7-2

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:35 PM:

Missing a point guard hurts BIG!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:35 PM:

Thiero can't run the point. Reeves has to do it with CJ out.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:36 PM:

Down 7 points with 8 minutes to play! UUGGHH!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:36 PM:

And we can't make any outside shots. Just bad shooting night. Reeves has been short on everything.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:37 PM:

KY shooting just 32% from the floor

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:37 PM:

If we hit 75% on our FTs I thunk well be okay. Shooting the rest of the way, we have to make them.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:38 PM:

2-16 from 3pt land

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:39 PM:

And auburns up 16 on Alabama.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:40 PM:

Oscar needs to hit those put back shots

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:40 PM:

Sure would help if Oscar could finish those and 1s.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:42 PM:

Finally!!!!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:42 PM:

Reeves for THREE

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:44 PM:

Now they're shooting the rest of the way and they're at 90%

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:46 PM:

59-56 with 5:32 to play

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:48 PM:

Still just hitting on 32% from the floor

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:51 PM:

Livingston not playing good d the last 10 minutes.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:52 PM:

This is the time Cal needs to be yelling at us to get the ball inside. We ha e to make them pay for being small

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:52 PM:

Down 5 points with 4 minutes to play

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:53 PM:

Gotta have the FTs.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:54 PM:

We're getting fouled down low but we aren't completing the three point plays.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:55 PM:

Hit all of our FT's and we'd have a 4 point lead

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:55 PM:

I'll take hitting them at 75%

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:56 PM:

But 100% the rest of the way

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:57 PM:

Every time we get a chance to take a lead Vandy has scored

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:57 PM:

Reeves to line for 2 shots KY trails by 1

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:58 PM:

What is up with Reeves tonight?

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 08:59 PM:

1:43 to play tied at 64

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 08:59 PM:

Vandy is a smart team, and definitely get the most out of their guys. We need a huge stop here.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 09:00 PM:

Goose says Reeves confidence is shot tonight for some reason!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 09:02 PM:

KY uses 1 of their final 2 timeouts. 1:21 to play with the ball!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 03-01-2023, 09:03 PM:

Oscar scores

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 09:06 PM:

This is a bad loss. Just terrible shooting tonight by everyone, and too many missed FTs. Never know what we're gonna get from our guys. So up and down. Really bad win against Florida, great win against Auburn, bad loss tonight.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 09:07 PM:

Reeves short again on a pretty good look. Tough to lose this at home on senior night.

Posted by handycat (Member # 2323) on 03-01-2023, 09:11 PM:

No point guard killed us. On the other hand, Vandy losing their center early was a huge loss for them.

Ukman called it when he said this game worried him. Nice call but I thought you were just being a worry wart.

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 03-01-2023, 09:18 PM:

I was worried though because I thought Oscar would be ineffective. Never though it would be because Reeves would go 4/17, Toppin 1/7. I think the guys were a little full of themselves after the Auburn game and hearing all the crap about were back. We haven't out enough quality games together to say were back. Win the SEC tourney and then we can start to say that.

Posted by Bama Cat (Member # 153) on 03-01-2023, 09:51 PM:

I think this team reads the press clippings. We make it back to the top 25 on just 1 great game against Auburn and then fall back to our same old selves. I just don't think we will go anywhere in either tourney. Sorry Oscar.

Posted by PaulCat (Member # 513) on 03-02-2023, 07:58 AM:

I, too, wonder if we just take these "easy" opponents for granted. How else do we lose at home to teams like SC and Vandy? Many times, we just aren't ready to play.
