Defense……..pretty good…..we’ve held them to 34 points.
Rebounding……..not so good. Need to improve.
Free throws……….would be at least tied now.
Offense……….Ding ding ding………what offense? Can you tell me what were trying to do offensively?
I actually totally agree with you that it’s a pain, all the complaining about officiating, but I sort of liken it to going to a bar and then getting pissed that they are serving alcohol. See, this is a live game thread, and complain, bitch, nit-pick and reading about fans getting irritated by the littlest and stupidest things is sort of it’s purpose, you know?
I doubt Cal is blistering the paint off the walls. Players need coaching not screaming.
That was a terrible call against Teague and Cal had to defend his player.
I am looking forward to the second half and how the guys handle it.
D is stifling, but so is UTs. Points look to be at a premium. If we can put just one little 10 point run up, that may be enough if we keep playing D like this.
and Stokes does add a whole new dimension to that team. Cuanzo Martin is an excellent coach. Knew it would be tough going in, even without Stokes. Have to give them credit for what they have done so far. Hopefully we cab buck up and overcome! Go Cats!
We weathered that run UT put on us earlier. Gut check passed. We just gotta keep going with this level of intensity now. I like the last minute or two.
why the road team has such difficulty winnig anywhere.
All one need do is watch the officiating.
Used to call them “homers”.
Don’t know the correct description these days.
When we were coming back from that run UT put on us early in the 2nd, AD started making things happen. Boards and points, he quit trying to reject everything and just played.
Thats a little too much to ask from a young team I think.
One of these days we will lay an egg. Not looking forward to it, but I would wager large sums that it will happen. (It will be a good learning experience also, as they all are).
something about this team, MKG maybe, just absolutely will not accept a loss. This team has got to have more heart than any other in the country and I think it stems from MKG and the Brow.
I would gladly agree but I'm heading to a non-drinking country. Don't get it twisted, they drink, in private but the military certainly isn't allowed to.
I don’t want to get too excited, but there was a lot of growth in that game. Play defense, block out, scrap and you can still win in a tough arena when shots aren’t falling. Loved it absolutely loved it.
Teague showed me some real good stuff today: taking care of the ball and running the O.
I actually would support him for the game ball. Two months ago those horrible charge block calls in each half would haven taken him out of the game. Today he stuck with it. That is growth.
One last point, did anyone notice the emotion out of Miller after a foul in the second half? When a guy who never reacts to officials reacts, that tells you all you need to know about the officiating. Which I am fine with btw. Deal with it and fight through it. It is a journey not an event.
But, I have noticed that he does push off on occasion. I am the only one who thinks this? It isn’t malicious or anything and it may be just habit, but he does sometimes push off in order to try and put some distance between him and his man and sometimes he gets called on it.
I guess that wasn’t made apparent in my comment above, but yes, I agree, it is a foul.
If it has become habit, and seeing as how Miller is a senior I’m not super optimistic about it changing at this point, but yes, he definitely needs to back off a bit. Or, at least see how tight the officials are calling the particular game and then go about his business.
I noticed that immediately cause I was focused on DM
His player left him and turned to the basket to go for a rebound, when the rebound sailed over his head and to DM they called a push off. Darius didn’t touch the guy. In the end, the number of fouls were about even, but it sure seems most fouls called in our “favor” interrupted something good that was happening for us, so just counting fouls means nothing. I might have to watch this one again and do a better job watching the officiating. It was bad.
New Thread Mojo!
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
new half....lets blow them out
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Go Big Blue
Thompson Bolling is going to need some new paint on the locker room walls. I bet the visitor room has boiling paint about now.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
I am getting tired of Cal needing to do that
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
Agreed
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
maybe he can give the same speech at the start?
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Until Cal stops with the one-and-dones
it’s going to continue until he leaves, I daresay
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
also agreed
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
One and dones will not stop while Cal is here.
And he is teaching in the locker room right now.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
don't expect change though.. thats what happens when coaching young kids
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Need to get some good old Kentucky boys that dream of playing ball at Rupp.
Kinda sick of the one and dones. Farmer, phelprey, etc!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
The one and done's have put us back at the top.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
this argument is never going to go away,
but all I have to say is that there are kids all over the country who dream of playing in Rupp and I’m glad they get the chance.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
I understand we're back on top because of who we are recruiting.
I just want a team to stick around. I know they can’t pass up the NBA dollars. I get it. I just hate us being the place to audition for the NBA.
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
a valid point
but its not gonna change, and I’d rather have em playin for us than someone else
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Agree,but still dislike.
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
OMG, Glenn: What the heck IS that thing???
jords - January 14, 2012
Ugh, I didn't even notice it till you mentioned it. Too bad you can't unsee things
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
YOU WATCHED IT! YOU CAN'T UN-WATCH IT!
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Like that half, I would like to unsee it.
Fortunately its a new half and I really want to see this one. I think we come out with a little fire in our belly. Let’s see what we’re made of.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Threaten that every player is going to have to sleep with that thing tonight, and I guarantee a win.
Jeepers
jords - January 14, 2012
World's ugliest puppy.

I'm going with a hairless bat.
did I win?
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012

He snuck in and got a picture of me after the charge call on Teague

nice
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Glenn has being posting some awesome second half game thread pics lately.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
So, what's the problem?
Defense……..pretty good…..we’ve held them to 34 points.
Rebounding……..not so good. Need to improve.
Free throws……….would be at least tied now.
Offense……….Ding ding ding………what offense? Can you tell me what were trying to do offensively?
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
well, we were offensive to at least one Ref :P
jeffy - January 14, 2012
RIM SHOT!!
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
How does a ref
on the opposite side of the floor make that call?
kywineman - January 14, 2012
H.O.M.E.C.O.O.K.I.N
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Because he is waiting for any excuse to make it
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Why was he watching Cal...
instead of the game?
jpbluekat - January 14, 2012
i sense UT getting in foul trouble eary thanks to the rookie Stokes
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
we got this game....no worries !!
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
agree, we played crappy, they played great, we are down by 6
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
When in doubt , blame the refs
It’s message board 101
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
I haven't done it all year
(hard to do sometimes).
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
ok, here's the thing.
I actually totally agree with you that it’s a pain, all the complaining about officiating, but I sort of liken it to going to a bar and then getting pissed that they are serving alcohol. See, this is a live game thread, and complain, bitch, nit-pick and reading about fans getting irritated by the littlest and stupidest things is sort of it’s purpose, you know?
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
Experiences like this are opportunities to grow.
I doubt Cal is blistering the paint off the walls. Players need coaching not screaming.
That was a terrible call against Teague and Cal had to defend his player.
I am looking forward to the second half and how the guys handle it.

Usually I'm confident in our ability to just wear the opposition out
Is that a realistic prayer today?
jords - January 14, 2012
Yes.

We needed that to start.
dammit
wingke6 - January 14, 2012

Need every danged point

Still little movement on offense
Where are the drives and kick outs?

Missed First Half
Welcome brunch for new folks from Iowa, lwf
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
Nice, TJ
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012

Great move, Teague
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Teague!
Pretty!
jords - January 14, 2012
As I Was Saying
They left in a snow storm, flew from Chicago, arrived to 76, sunny. Seems I didn’t miss much.
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
Hope they stuck around for the game.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
76 and sunny......damnitt !! lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Awesome Teague
Viks - January 14, 2012
Wow a grinder
every point in this half is gonna be real important at this pace.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
I feel that FTs will play a vital role
and that makes me uneasy
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
We are playing better
D is stifling, but so is UTs. Points look to be at a premium. If we can put just one little 10 point run up, that may be enough if we keep playing D like this.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Dykes is a UT fan??
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Is Dykes a Dukie?
that would explain it
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Dykes loves UK
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
Poor guarding on that shooter for 3 pts
Viks - January 14, 2012
scramble situation
Bad luck for UK, good bounce for UT
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
"Is UK getting better?"
They seem to have leveled off and the offense is behind. Better competition maybe.
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
Everyone is just standing around watching the guy with the ball.
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
No
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
Finally! Bourbon and a TV!!!!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
good for you.....cheers !!
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Yes - bring us some luck
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
I would live to think I did bring us luck but I would not dare take away from THE BOYS!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Cheers!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
wOOt!!!!
jords - January 14, 2012
That's a foul???
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
absolutely not
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
I think so, yes. Over the back
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
Another terrible call.
They are piling up and affecting the game.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
You guys are the best! Thanks for keeping in the loop for the first half.
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Wiltjer that was idiotic
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Stupid pass by Wiltjer

To put it mildly.
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Took the words right out of my mouth!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Ooops - the run started with UT.
Gut check time now boys.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
I can't believe that we are letting their shooters shoot
Viks - January 14, 2012
You take the ball, no you take the ball
Ok I will charge
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
sort of...
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
I say go back to DDMO..........these guys are athletic and need to move.
This stagnet offense lulls them to sleep.
And puts me on Blood pressure medicine
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Hey, I think I saw some m,ovement that time.
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
If we don't start working for rebounds
this is not going to work
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Nice trailer!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
MKG great play
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Tennessee is a good ball club...
and Stokes does add a whole new dimension to that team. Cuanzo Martin is an excellent coach. Knew it would be tough going in, even without Stokes. Have to give them credit for what they have done so far. Hopefully we cab buck up and overcome! Go Cats!
GriffinRC - January 14, 2012
I completely missed the boat on Stokes ... Martin was saving him for this game .... he's a load
ukcris - January 14, 2012
MKG!

Thank goodness for putbacks
We can’t even make layups

Big 3 by Kyle
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
1st three!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
we need several more
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Hooray for Wiltjer!
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Thank you Kyle!
jords - January 14, 2012
Welcome Kyle
Viks - January 14, 2012
needed that
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Cuonzo Is A Defensive Coach
Count on it!
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
True
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
and then gives it right back with the foul on the shot
>sigh<
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Wiltjer is going to get schooled every time
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Cal knows as do the announcers that was lambs fault.. Wiltjer played it right.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
There was really nothing he could do
but without the double team, his own guy would have just taken him to the bucket
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Come on Cats!
jords - January 14, 2012
OMG a blocking call!
I guess the cushion is big enough
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Wait that was a charge! *sarcasm
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Good one :)
Viks - January 14, 2012
Either the bourbon is helping with the pain or we're playing better
jords - January 14, 2012
Its the bourbon.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
I was afraid of that
jords - January 14, 2012
It tastes yummy though!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Y'all hitting that hard stuff early. I almost mixed a margarita at half-time but I need to go to the store after the game.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
My big afternoon plans are getting a mani/pedi
They don’t care if I’m silly. Or crying. :-)
jords - January 14, 2012
better have another shot lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Been on painkillers so this is my first drink in over a week.
Think bourbon may be more effective :-)
jords - January 14, 2012
Mamaw used to mix it with honey and lemon.
That’s child abuse now :)
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Apparently we're cousins; my mamaw did the same thing when we had a cough.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
So did mine!
jords - January 14, 2012
I used to do that for my step daughter
it works
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
KYLE has 3?????
Refs, check your stats
jords - January 14, 2012
5 actually :)
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Oh wait...........I get u know lol
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
I meant 3 fouls. But was unclear due to my rage.
jords - January 14, 2012
good bucket
Now get a stop!
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Welcome to the game Lamb
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Even though Dykes is overdoing it
I hope Stokes goes pro as soon as he can. I don’t want to see much more from this kid. Sharp looking ball player.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
too bad we gave polson a scholly
Or we may have gotten him, had no scholly’s to give
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
Was Stokes under the radar, or what?
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
5* , Dont Think So
Needed available scholarship.
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
also was thought to be a 2012-13 player
Then reclassified
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Thanks Weasel.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
He is a game changer, though.
This is his first game after only a couple of practices!
GriffinRC - January 14, 2012
Did you read my pregame? :-)
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
hahaha Obviously not. Guilty as charged.
I do have a birthday party I had to prepare for. Did that work? ;-)
I will read it tonight!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Teague - just did too much there
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Just a bad play.
But Teague has made some good ones, too.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
Terrence Jones!
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012

a2d2 - January 14, 2012
WHITEEEEEEEEE
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Allright
We weathered that run UT put on us earlier. Gut check passed. We just gotta keep going with this level of intensity now. I like the last minute or two.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Jones is having a good game.
He has done a lot of great stuff. The fouls concern me, but if we can keep him in playing like this, I think we’ll be okay.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
Martin has got to be pissd right now...
for his team making stupid mistakes and letting us stay in the game. They did not need 2 3 point shots from a big man non the same possession.
GriffinRC - January 14, 2012
Go Cats Go!
jords - January 14, 2012
Any one else see what jones said to teague following the and-1?
“Give it to me every time!”
I love it, hopefully that signifies TJ is back baby lets go CATS!
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Oh, he's back now.
He officially got there last game.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
He's not 100% back in my book until he gets that thing off his fingers
He’s close though
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Cats out rebounding UT in the 2nd half
by 4, per Tom Leach
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Good Lord that is a quick whistle against Jones
and that is HUGE
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
4 on Jones....gotta get some Miller time!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
That was a weak call
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
FWIW
Leach and Pratt both thought it was a correct call
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
They bailed us oyut there.
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
That was a bad hook.
jords - January 14, 2012
yeah
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
and that's why we need TJ
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Movement! Yes!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
NICE!
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
That's better from MKG, eh?

Good look Miller, don't give up on it
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
yeah
but man we needed that
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
I needed that.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Oh DM.....
jords - January 14, 2012
It's hard to sit down a bunch and stay consistent shooting.
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Give Miller that shot again and he'll hit it
Sometimes they just don’t go in.

sweasyf - January 14, 2012

More importantly, he has to continue to TAKE it.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
fact.

A couple 3's wouldn't bother me at all
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012

Good thing I've been working out lately
Gonna need a strong heart today.

This was the type of game expected..
Lots of excitement and frustration. Awesome chant – if that does not keep them going nothing will.

Nah. Neither t'd up.

not a single UT player in any foul trouble
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Richardson has 4.
KYvampyre - January 14, 2012
They said Richardson with 4
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
How many AD blocks so far?? V
Nt
ANGx01 - January 14, 2012 via mobile
Davis!
Great skill and toughness
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
And amazing concentration just to reel that pass in, let alone put it in.
KYvampyre - January 14, 2012
AD, holeeee mackeral

How in the world did Davis make that play???
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
My money is on skill
Heart plays a role too :-)
jords - January 14, 2012
Is Kenny Hall UT's secret weapon???
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
without TJ, we can't stop him
those 2 ticky-tack fouls on Jones were huge
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
That is absolutely an awful horrible unfair call
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
yeah bad call there
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Come on guys, under 7! Show them you are messing around and kick some Butt!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
You sound like my daughter right now!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
NOT messing around! I hate posting on iPhone!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
MKG, why????
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Coming down the floor out of control.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
the flip side of being an aggressive player
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Hyper extension, yikes
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Could have been worse MKG.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Ouch, we need his motor, I hope he;s OK, that knee looked extended
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
It looked scary to me
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
Great job Teague
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
now please make these
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
We are doing soo much better on the boards
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
MKG!!!!!!!!!!!
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
MKG!!!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
MKG!!!!!!!!
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Hah! I used the most exclamation points!
I win ;-)
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
shoot! :P
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Hah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Kiddddddddd
Viks - January 14, 2012
Very nice
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
yesssssss
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
mkg....thank god
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Not worried about MKG
3
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
I'm a bit worried about his left leg though
Viks - January 14, 2012
Me too....he may not fully feel damage for 24 hrs if he's hyper-extended it.
Could be a BRUTAL night for MKG. Hoping hoping hoping he’s ok!
jords - January 14, 2012
3
Finally!
GriffinRC - January 14, 2012
Hey - keeps the streak going.
And good time in the game for it.
GriffinRC - January 14, 2012
MKG!!!!!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Awesome shot.
Anthony Davis is really making his presence felt on the defensive glass right now.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
MKG!!!! Again!!
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Where would UK be without MKG?
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
less good
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
In trouble
jords - January 14, 2012
lol
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Olive him, just want him to stick around ski can love him some more!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
I love... Damn iPhone
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
all of the above
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
smart decision by Jones to pass that back out
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Fouled out?
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
yes
Viks - January 14, 2012
heh
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
TJ is done
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
nothing upsets me more than a kid playing good and hard and his game gets cut short by poor officiating
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Well that's 5 on TJ
man, 3 of them so questionable
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Not that one, though.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
2 or 3 were fouls
2 or 3 were not. Oh well, time to make lemonade
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
5 on Jones on another insane call.
KYvampyre - January 14, 2012
I dunno
I thought he pushed him too
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
That call was correct.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
not many have bounced our way today
ukcris - January 14, 2012
TJ gone
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
not smart to commite the foul
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
crap call
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
It was correct.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
agree to disagree
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
very much so
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
wanna reconsider that after the replay?
jeffy - January 14, 2012
JImmy Dykes thinks it is a bad call
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
not based on that replay
blbskue - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
not this one though..atleast that's what I saw, TJ shud've been more careful.
He was walking on thin ice then.
Viks - January 14, 2012
It's Davis' fault
He hustled too hard to save the ball. ;)
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
I saw that too
ukcris - January 14, 2012
That can happen in broken plays, put TJ out of position and trying too hard
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Now..who in place of TJ?
Viks - January 14, 2012
Wit
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Like I asaid earlier...Miller gota step up!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Miller at the 4
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
So does Eloy have to play now?
that’s who I’d want
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
told u all
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
bad call
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Still so sure that's a foul Glenn?
no way did TJ foul there, despite Maymon falling over
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Absolutely positive.
Just because they missed the one on Jones does not negate the fact Jones pushed him out of bounds.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
he didn't though
Jones’ forearm was not even on Maymon when he started falling over
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
You missed the other angle.
Trust me, it was a good call.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
nope
TJ had a hand out because he got fouled. TJ’s contact was completely incidental
jeffy - January 14, 2012
I saw no push on the replay. None whatsoever.
blbskue - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
Bad angle.
It was a foul
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
I admire your perseverance!
even if I don’t agree with your call
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
There is no doubt it was.
Disagreement notwithstanding. :-)
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
I love ya glenn, but I know you saw the hook by maybin
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
No.
They did miss that call, but Jones clearly fouled him.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
I love ya glenn, but I know you saw the hook by maybin
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Bad call? These refs?
Say it isn’t so. :-0
jords - January 14, 2012
Miller with a big steal
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
The offensive foul BS is soo damn old, that's ridiculous
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Teague trying ot do too much again!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
bad call again
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
THAT was a bad call.
No doubt.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
It is very apparent
why the road team has such difficulty winnig anywhere.
All one need do is watch the officiating.
Used to call them “homers”.
Don’t know the correct description these days.
Blujean - January 14, 2012
home cookin'
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
I hate flops
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
lamb was fould 3 time trying to get open
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Must. Make. Free. Throws
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
Refs are not going to let Teague drive
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
obviously
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
yep the refs are consciously holding UK back
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
If you can't hit your threes, hit those FTs
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
cats up six
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Just WIN!!!!!!!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
plus the national debt !!!!
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
UT held scoreless for 5+ minutes
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
some luck there with them missing open shots and a dunk
But mostly good defense by UK.
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
UT Hall traveling like crazy in the post
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Miller or Lamb in the corner for 3 out of timeout!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Random fashion note: Coach Antigua's new glasses are styling!
jords - January 14, 2012
Good TO
They were gonna put up an ugly shot otherwise
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
What the hell kind of dunk was that by UT???
ukcris - January 14, 2012
a missed one ;-)
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
launched form a sling shot??
ukcris - January 14, 2012
HUGE board!!
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
DAVIS!!!!
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
UNI !!!!
ukcris - January 14, 2012
AD!!!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
DAGGER.
KYvampyre - January 14, 2012
I think so.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
ad!!
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Davis gets the craziest shots to go down!!
my goodness
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Husband just said the same thing!
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
fouled on the shot too
No call.
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
good no call, IMO
not sure it would have gone the other way though
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Davis was whistled in the 1st half for far less contact
Uniformity is all I expect
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
hugeeeeee
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
#winning
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
How did AD get that to go down?
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
absolutely stellar body control and awareness. Thats how
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
+1
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
The unblockable shot.
That couldn’t have been blocked by the Budweiser blimp.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
+1
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
I have no idea how he navigated that one in
Real soft touch
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
from his guard experience??
ukcris - January 14, 2012
+1
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
UT fans fleeing the building?
Wimps
jords - January 14, 2012
Wow, huge shot from McBee there
huge
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
UT is not going quietly
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
much to my consternation
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
FT now
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Tough to guard a fadeaway three.
Wow, what a tough shot.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
yep
Can’t blame Lamb, he was there but was not about to foul
jeffy - January 14, 2012
crap
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
37 secs of intensity
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Violent cut!!
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
I LOVE MY TEAM or should I say OUR team!!!!
But I still don’t like one and dones! I want to love my team a few years!!!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
I totally agree
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
"violent cut" ... we almost made the whole game without one of those
ukcris - January 14, 2012
We'll take Lamb on the line
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
good option for sure
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Hard to believe as it is fouls are currently at 19 for each team
20 for UT now
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
We gotten all the bounces and loose balls lately
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
UK is the top FT shooting team in SEC????
Yikes
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
They have greatly improved
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
WTF
floundringaround - January 14, 2012
Lamb, bring this one homw
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
good grief
It’s Indiana all over again
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Lamb is not as good at crunch time
it seems
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
grrrrrr
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Wow - I thought it was over, but I guess I got happy too early.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
So did our guys
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Gotta hit the D#MN free throws
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
A bad three JD? Really?
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Darn!
Not going quietly at all
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Will they foul?
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
if they dont get a steal within 10 seconds they almost have to
floundringaround - January 14, 2012
Jeez.
Tired players. I guess. WE have got to make the damn free throws.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
Word!
jords - January 14, 2012
Guess we will have to sweat this out after all
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
dont think millers to blame there, UT was 5 feet behind the line.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
I agree
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
People at bar staring at me!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
give em the bird lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
No Angry Birds! Just ugly looks!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
They don't have to foul right away
we gotta make sure we can handle the press
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
DM messed up there
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
I don't think so
Lamb and Teague didn’t get open, what else was he supposed to do?
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
Teague was open and Dm passed it up
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Wasn't Teague open?
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Teague was open.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
It is defintely not Miller time now
maybe some weak Miller lite
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Yes, two DM mess ups in last two possessions
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
Yep.
That was a freshman move.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
jeez
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Darius! No!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Not A Sr. Play
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
No time outs left
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
this game is ours to win or lose
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
I thought I'd die when he picked up his dribble.
bluegrassgal - January 14, 2012
Who thinks they called a foul once they saw that pass in the air?
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
me
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Please make them both
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
Now that's how to do it DM
love the pass under the basket
Great FT!
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Miler is a good FT shooter
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
+2
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
Sr on the road, IT IS MILLER TIME FOR ALL YOU HATERS
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
2 big FTs!
At least 1 guy can hit them at the end of games
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
He's the guy want at the stripe
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
whewwwww
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
YES!
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
MKG gotta make one of these hopefully
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
wow
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Good Win!
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
Good win, UK needs to work out their offense
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
It wouldn't looks os bad without all the offensive fouls
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
I think they met one of the most physical tough minded teams in the country today
Not many others will present anything near this type of problem. We’re fine.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
They haven't looked particularly good offensively for awhile IMO
SevenRings - January 14, 2012 via iPhone app
Whewwww x2!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Man, that was a tough, tough win
very satisfying
JLeverenz - January 14, 2012
+ a bunch
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
you called it! : )
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
I never had a doubt
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
you and me, honey.
the eternal optimists. Oh, and I suppose we’d better add wineman and a2 to our list, as well.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
yepp lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Indeed. :-)
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Yes true
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
That was a grinder.
Good experience for the boys
wingke6 - January 14, 2012
win is a win
prepares us well for tournament time
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
that's what I think .... these grinding wins are a good investment for March
ukcris - January 14, 2012
We out-tough'd 'em, boys and girls!
Great win.
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
We out-tough'd 'em
My new favorite saying.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
a "tru" statement
ukcris - January 14, 2012
wowww. that was close
Viks - January 14, 2012
My game ball to MKG
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
Shared. Davis and MKG
BBUKFAN - January 14, 2012
I would not argue with that
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
I think I agree
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
me too.
and a huge kiss for Darius for making those last free throws. Mwwaaaah!
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
Two kisses, one for each!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
Let's kiss them all. I'm so happy.
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
I say it goes to the Brow.
When we needed big rebounds, AD got it. When we needed a block, AD got it. Played nearly flawless all day. Great game.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Agreed
When we were coming back from that run UT put on us early in the 2nd, AD started making things happen. Boards and points, he quit trying to reject everything and just played.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
his game truly rocks.
and his demeanor. Yeah, it kicks so much ass. I love.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
Sure but
MKG had 12 boards and 3 steals. And hit that huge 3.
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
a very good experience. Bodes well for future
Viks - January 14, 2012
also a good grow up game for the big picture
kentuckyrules - January 14, 2012
Whew!!!! I can leave the country a very happy girl! GO CATS!!!!!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
that certainly helps
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Have fun and be careful wherever your travels take you.
and Go Big Blue!
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Who would have picked the Cats
if I told you Miller and Lamb would combine for 8 points?
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
NOT I
ukcris - January 14, 2012
and TJ would foul out with several minutes remaining.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Now that would've changed my expectations
Viks - January 14, 2012
I will pick the cats regardless of the circumstances. Too much offense. 6 players in double digits avg. Thats awesome
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
I would've. We still have MKG, AD and TJ. This team is deeeeep.
Viks - January 14, 2012
+ regardless of our O
We have the best “D” in the land. (I don’t know if we have stats to prove that, but I’ll take this team over anyone else in the country)
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
hmmm,
actually not deep in the traditional sense, just incredibly talented all the way down our short bench would be more appropriate I would say.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
I agree. That's what I meant.
Viks - January 14, 2012
UNC vs Florida State is going to be interesting..FSU seems to be draining 3's
Viks - January 14, 2012
choking because they had to wait 20 minutes to start because UK was playing ... Har Har
ukcris - January 14, 2012
Relax ... Finally
Can’t wait to watch again.
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
I tape it too
If I loss, I likely delete.
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
We have already won as many on the road in the SEC as we did all of last year
Grasslands1 - January 14, 2012
WE.WILL.NOT.LOSE.A.GAME.IN.THE.S.E.C.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
That's bold
Vandy, Florida, and Miss. ST. will be tough places to play
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
And More Talented
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
Thats a little too much to ask from a young team I think.
One of these days we will lay an egg. Not looking forward to it, but I would wager large sums that it will happen. (It will be a good learning experience also, as they all are).
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
I agree its bold, but I think its achievable.
something about this team, MKG maybe, just absolutely will not accept a loss. This team has got to have more heart than any other in the country and I think it stems from MKG and the Brow.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Big, big hearts, no doubt
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
MKG's refuse to lose attitude
rubs off on the rest of the team
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
exactly my point
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Only if our PG play improves
Teague was barely okay today. We need him to become top notch, then this team will be very difficult to match. Also we need the vintage TJ EVERY game.
Viks - January 14, 2012
Is that you Chane?
kywineman - January 14, 2012
wins like the last 2
will us really tuff come tourney time
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
The UK birthday fun was in a little danger,
But … We out-tough’d ’em. Gotta run gang.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
have funnnnnnn
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
a birthday?
Hope it’s a great one, doll! Enjoy!
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
Youngest grandson at a bouncy house. Kids everywhere. A win always helps!
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
plus a valium lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
And a boubon! Have fun!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
the bouncy house
is actually a pretty good deal.
See, you just put the kids inside and go about your business. We have rented for kids birthday parties as well. GREAT idea.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
70" big screen for more games I guess will help.
a2d2 - January 14, 2012
good start lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Shout out to Fridays DFW bartender.....
He kept the boubon coming and changed the channel from TX-MO to KY-TN. Now that is customer service! He was tipped well.
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Nothing like a good bartender
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
so,
I’ve been sooo good and haven’t had a bourbon all year : ) and then when Terrance fouled out I just couldn’t help it and poured myself one.
Lesson to be learned here: you and I MUST drink bourbon is tight-game situations. Deal?
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
I'll dring to that.

Dring? Honestly, I haven't touched a drop.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
thats the problem lol
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
Deal.
Was stone cold sober for the entire Auburn game and the first half today. MISTAKE.
Plan to hit the store and reload for the Arkansas game.
jords - January 14, 2012
see, theres good people everywhere
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
I would gladly agree but I'm heading to a non-drinking country. Don't get it twisted, they drink, in private but the military certainly isn't allowed to.
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Be careful over there
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Absolutely, thanks!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
+ a bunch
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
And just when you need it the most.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
No doubt ;)
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
Very good FT shooting
Those windsprints are working.
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
Could've used the front end of Lamb's one and one though.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
He did not have a good game overall
jdogblue - January 14, 2012
Had a big defensive play towards the end.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
Too true

I'm actually enjoying the UNC vs FSU game. It's very fast and looks to be a good road game for UNC.
Viks - January 14, 2012
UNC hasn't played a road game in 42 days. They will struggle.
Stuck in Cincy - January 14, 2012
Being a serious FF contender, I want to see how they play.
Will be helpful when we meet them in FF. :)
Viks - January 14, 2012
Great win
I don’t want to get too excited, but there was a lot of growth in that game. Play defense, block out, scrap and you can still win in a tough arena when shots aren’t falling. Loved it absolutely loved it.
Teague showed me some real good stuff today: taking care of the ball and running the O.
I actually would support him for the game ball. Two months ago those horrible charge block calls in each half would haven taken him out of the game. Today he stuck with it. That is growth.
One last point, did anyone notice the emotion out of Miller after a foul in the second half? When a guy who never reacts to officials reacts, that tells you all you need to know about the officiating. Which I am fine with btw. Deal with it and fight through it. It is a journey not an event.
Oh, Go Broncos. Go Tebow!

oh hell,
get excited!! You can always stress yourself out before the next game. Live a little! ; )
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
I'm definately excited!!!!!
KYGRLNNM - January 14, 2012
I felt
that was a bad call against DM
Bluehound - January 14, 2012
that one was, I agree.
But, I have noticed that he does push off on occasion. I am the only one who thinks this? It isn’t malicious or anything and it may be just habit, but he does sometimes push off in order to try and put some distance between him and his man and sometimes he gets called on it.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
Yep, he's the only one in college basketball that does that. ;)
kywineman - January 14, 2012
that's it.
I’m coming to get you, wineman!! : )
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
Promises, promises.
kywineman - January 14, 2012
Standard Tactic On Offense
And always has been — at least for the 60 years I can vouch for.
Wild Weasel - January 14, 2012
Yep.
It’s a foul, though. The officials are really adept at looking for the little shove in the back.
Not so adept at the hook around the waist, apparently. :-(
Glenn Logan - January 14, 2012
no, I agree.
I guess that wasn’t made apparent in my comment above, but yes, I agree, it is a foul.
If it has become habit, and seeing as how Miller is a senior I’m not super optimistic about it changing at this point, but yes, he definitely needs to back off a bit. Or, at least see how tight the officials are calling the particular game and then go about his business.
BigSkyCat - January 14, 2012
I noticed that immediately cause I was focused on DM
His player left him and turned to the basket to go for a rebound, when the rebound sailed over his head and to DM they called a push off. Darius didn’t touch the guy. In the end, the number of fouls were about even, but it sure seems most fouls called in our “favor” interrupted something good that was happening for us, so just counting fouls means nothing. I might have to watch this one again and do a better job watching the officiating. It was bad.
sweasyf - January 14, 2012
Real bad
but that’s how it works
kcgard2 - January 14, 2012
Post game up.
