Future UK cheerleader ... nice pic
Who is that precious child in the photo upper left?
Seriously. Such a cutie!
Baby girl has her cheer on...
Here's hoping AD is 100% for this half.
And TJ continues to play on both ends!
whos the cute chick ?? lol
OK, in the lockerroom....

Davis gets a massage and ice, Wiltjer gets an anatomy lesson (remind him his feet can be used for leaping), Jones gets gatorade and and a powerbar, Teague gets a pat on the back, and the rest get to relax

For all the crap Dykes gets at least he is interesting

Macy is so boring

He was a guard under Joe B. Hall......he was taught less is more.....lol
Hey Bro, where you been hiding??
going to disagree. Kyle is boring, but Dykes makes my head ache.
I like him alright because his comments make sense and they are accurate

Personally I value that from the announcer more than his self-created sensationalism

Davis with another block - century mark
shoulder seems to be ok on that one
He's young. He heals fast.
100 blocks and an assist!
Nice play AD, on both ends of the floor!!
beautiful transition game
TJ Keeping it up.

Does that dunk count?

That was sweet
We need to BLOW this game open
Pretty break there

nice feed and nice finish

TJ on both ends...

And showing some emotion, me likey!!

TJ going for the triple double today.....
TJ is FIRED up!

Love it!

I got your all-american right here!
Terrence Jones is making me cheer!

Good to see him continue to get better. This is what we bargained for when he returned.

Maybe time for a breakout Jones game?? he's still on fire right now, both D and O
Reminds of the Blue/White game .... Jones for 52 today ???
The team is playing good together.
No kidding...

They’ve never been “selfish”, but they are really looking for each other today!

this is the way they should approach all road games ,,, now put this team away
Shaq is going down.......lol
The Big Second Place.
TJ gettin' after it!!! Woo-Hoo!!
TJ can jump! We know that!
Nice and1
Good move by Teague to set him up
TJ is sick in the 2nd half!!
dont look sick to me lol
Zing! OK, I deserved that...
TJ finishes through the contact

this is his best game in a long time. Best game this year?

Jones!!! Welcome back sir..
AD with the steal guarding two men.
he was like the OCTO-player w/ that play LOL
I'd like to beat them by more than they beat our football team
It's TJU vs LSU

And TJU (Terrence Jone University) is winning.

Who had TJ for game ball??

Not me…

Team ball! '-)
I did.
Good for you!
Lucky

I was half asleep. I thought the prediction was for the UT game.

Ha! At least you're honest!! :-)
What is the NCAA freshman block record?
160-170 or so I think
for freshman?? I think it's 107
Consindering Shaq is 112...
Freshman record is 169

Alonzo Mourning

Wow

Even more…. 182 is the Freshman record… Hassan Whiteside

Thee's Davis getting some offense going
Pretty shot Davis
AD made a jump shot!!
That's a flagrant 2

already injured earlier, that’s a 2

What the heck?
AD with a muscle shot, and then a little jumper...
What the crap??
Eject him!!!
yeah

that’s a 2

should be an ejection
Definitely

When you grab a guy by the shoulders, you need to get tossed. A 1 is when you wrap him up around the waist

Think you
right there...

Too fast on the keyboard…

That jerk needs tossed
That was just bullsh*t
2 hands around the neck, just a flag 1??????
then we don't need a flag2
No, i'm saying that SHOULD be flag 2
me too ... if that isn't a flagrant 2 - they should not have a flagrant 2 type foul
Theyll go look at teh monitors
At least a 10 min misconduct.
That wasn't a basketball play.

He should watch the game from the locker room.

Ejection!!!!!........should be an ejection!!!!

“IF that head of officials is actually doing his job”

If you can't get ejected for that

You just can’t get ejected. That was very dangerous.

Refs are going to let this get away from them if he doesn't get ejected
TJ might kill someone
I might join him.
I hate the Cal PIP

I have a small TV, dangit! I can’t afford to lose 4 inches to watching Cal.

The player should draw

a game or two suspension for that.

That should definitely be an ejection-

Maybe AD should take the rest of the day off…

This is why we need an enforcer or two.....someone we can send in to send a message

even if they do get tossed

Well Eloy does not contribute much else...
Put another 40 pounds on Vargas

and let him pound someone

Looks like he is working on it to me.
White to the locker room
There we go...
White is goint to the locker room
He got run.

As it should be.

OK good, it's a 2
Good call refs...uncalled for
AD is tuffer than he looks

that wouldve killed me

TJ looks great
Jones makes 'em pay!
White now getting a phone call

from Les Miles.

AD is on a mission

that 3-point block was sick

Darius trimmed the under the chin beard. Yay!
Well, AD earns himself an icepack even if he doesnt get the game ball......lol
MKG has had a quiet game
has not scored...

I don’t think…

Yeah, real quite... Playing good D though!
Cats playin some good D this half
TJ pulling up teammates all over the floor
TJ wants the game ball today...
Someone forgot to tell Hamilton to pack a lunch
I want a replay to see if Gillie was pushed

My instinct was it only looked bad because of Gillie’s momentum

he got tripped up from behind
However, I don't trust LSU anymore
I saw a foot - he was tripped.
Teague doing good again...

4 assists, 6 points and no turnovers

I thought he had 1- the palming call...
He did. A guards allwed 1 palm per game to see how much the refs will allow
I usually see guards to it all the time...

but if they get an offensive advantage, it’ll usually get called :)

It was a big 3 at the time he hit it
I swear I saw a couple of the LSU cheerleaders doing a sack dance......!!!!
there will be a scuffle before this game is over
With 13 left

You almost think there has to be with the crap LSU is pulling

I'm afraid it could happen.
TJ tweaked his ankle
AD almost pulled the goal down on that dunk!! GOD!!
And he hits free throws and jump shots, Shaq.
How did Kyle even get that shot off???

And nice finish by Uni…

Monstrous finish, you mean!
Uhhh... Yeah, I'll buy some of that! :-)
AD-

Rocks the rim…

If davis weighed another 30-40 pounds...

I wonder if that backboard was coming down?

Shaq breaks backboards......Davis tears down goals
Kyle, buddy, ya gotta finish on those...
C'mon Wilt...dunk that stuff
He doesn't jump!
Lamb to Davis is usually good for one oop a game
Lamb-

Does a good job of lobbing the ball inside…

With AD's arms, he doesn't have to aim too closely.
OK, LSU is getting ridiculous
Keeping it classy WaterBoy style :-(
Are they trying to hurt AD?
Uni gets the "Floor Burn" award today...
Davis is built out of carbon-fiber, I swear...
OK....its time for a bench warning
And about time for some subs...
Rough game.
I hereby nominate Glenn Logan for understatement of the year....!!!!
I wanna try!

…Davis is good at blocking shots

that's worth an honorable mention......
Davis has shown serious toughness today....

I think Cal should be proud

think I'll whirlpool on ADs behave
He's show toughness. And awesomeness.
He's gonna have a few bruises and sore spots tomorrow
Even Gillespie would be proud of this toughness.
New Ford Truck commercial...

Build Davis Tough!

that is so awesome. Love it.
I hope this ends the "Cats struggle against physical teams" meme
Billy G would be proud of Davis..

HaHa

but Wiltjer would be riding a toilet stall
And if he'll play next year like Jorts did last year, I'll take it!! :-)
Good board MKG
MKG

great rebound

O Board on a free throw in a 21 point game.

Thank you, MKG.

What happened to Davis smooth FT stroke? 4-10 today
MILLER!!!!!!

I heart Miller

DM has really tuned up his shot...
Jones,Davis and Miller

great showing today.

59-35 'Cats...

for those not watching….Correction 62-35 – Lamb just hit a 3

"pouring it on" on the road ...
Lamb picture perfect

100% got his legs under him, elevated, and the definition of smooth

I taught him so well...so proud
Heh.

That “Air Ball” chant didn’t last long. :-)

DL whizzed on that one quick! LOL
My daughter is sitting here going.....Doron Lamb is such a little cutie!!!......geez
He is, what chu' talking about?
Who is she calling "little"????......lol
Well, he looks very young.
"Little" was merely an endearment.
He's adorable!
Need a napkin???
He's a doll. Your daughter is a smart kid.
I wonder if Cal is telling the guys to keep pushing

We should POUND this team for all the BS

Damn right
2nd that. Beat them like a rented mule.
7 for 15 of 3s
air ball through the net
LSU-

Has 35 points…wow

On about 52 possessions. That's some good D.
I hope we beat them by 50

after all the crap theyve pulled

Plus infinity

I may hate LSU now more than MSU. That’s saying something.

Strong move by Hickey
Hickey's first shot and LSU first 3
Makes me feel old

to hear today’s players say they grew up Rajon Rondo fans. No, wait. It just makes me old. sigh

LSU on a 5-0 run....
Ant can take the rest of the day off if he wants
I think i will be a Unc fan saying...

We want biscuits!

HaHa

I had to leave

Glad you folks are keeping me updated. This wull be fun to rewatch on espn3. I,m happy to hear TJ is kicking some@#%)

TJ has done it at the stripe

unlike everyone else!

64-40

after TJ FT’s

Well I think the Hickey/Teague question has been answered.....lol
Vargas block!!

mean too! I like it

Coach Cam! I hate thee!
Yeah.

Seriously.,

almost as bad as that sky cam view last year
The worst ever.
how about the sky cam?
Vargas was too open
Nice move Eloy, just don't travel next time.
Is he getting worse as the season goes on?

Or is everyone else just getting better?

Feel ashamed now.
Not showing much improvement...
not getting much playing time due to TJ struggling and needing more floor time to adjust

and Wiltjer making more 3’s

First strong move to the goal all year...

I’ll forgive him the walk, just lost his mind for a sec!

Agree with Greg

Not enough playing time.

Good try Vargas...but there's this rule where you gotta dribble!

unless the refs decide that you don’t

I think we need a BDubs moment for this game......

go into OT up 25

Is that why West VA didn't get a goaltending call?
Free Throw shooting has been the only negative today that I can see....

(and I hate nitpicking)

We could start nitpicking how bad our opponents played. :-)
Or how dirty
MKG with 1 point....

but with 7 rebounds and 4 assists

TJ is taking his points...
free throw shooting still around 50 some percent..
Dale Brown-

I remember really disliking him…

That's because he gave us fits
I think Joe Dean hated us worse
Loved hearing his broadcasts, tho.

Jimmy Dan Conner ……“String music!”

I always disliked Dale Brown in a good way
I think that's my feeling...

I really liked “not liking” him, but ya gotta admit, he was a darn fine coach!

I always remember-

The time they beat us in the Regional Final… That hurt…

remember it well....yes it did
After beating them three times that season.
UK would have played UofL in the Final 4 that year (if i remember right)
I get that. Felt the same way.
Another altered shot for Davis
For all you out-of-towners,

Tom Leach is doing a local weight loss program and commercials, and doing well. Wish him great luck.

Good lord

How fat was he?

Fairly big guy.
Still is
I believe he is close to 30 lbs lighter now.
That's great!
Good for him. Which program is he trying?
Seems like it is Ageless Weightloss Center or something like that.
As someone who's lost 70 pounds, I can attest: it's hard work. Good for Tom!
wow, thats great, good for you
And what he said^

I hit post too soon.

Especially with teenage kids (according to a Central Bank commercial,)

Very hard work.

congrats to you. I can't imagine how hard that must have been.
Good for you!

Half of your old self now?? :-)

Aww thanks all!

And no, more to go. Hopefully Tom has a great support team: I’m very lucky with a great doctor and great trainer.

That said, I miss French Fries. every. Day.

Gets easier as you go... Getting off the couch is the biggest step!

Congrats!!

4 am workouts baby!
Good for you! Keep up the good work!
oh shit !!

thats dedication

Wow!

I’m an early-bird and I’m still in the fart-sack at that time! LOL

I work out at 4:45 every morning except Sunday (well, I sleep later

on Saturday morning). I’ll think of you on Monday!

With the time zones we may be up and 'em at the same time:-)
I'm Central time.
Then I'll wrap up with a Go Big Blue for you!

I’m usually wrapping up around 5 so I can be at work around 7.

y'all can text lol
Wilt, you don't use post moves 10 feet from the basket!!

he’ll learn, but he does silly things!

He hasn't earned "Wilt" yet

He’s just jer to me.

I always liked Dale Brown...got a kick out of him

but I am not a “hater” by nature

At least brought us some good competition.

Was good for the league.

Oh please!

that was an offensive foul if anything

Hopefully Leach can get to call a title game this

with a win of course

String music-

Joe Dean sr in the house. He used to say "we got a real barnburner in Lexington, KY

I so remember that! I can just hear him now.
Davis is getting punished
Davis just caught contact in the nose....
looked like a foul on the replay. I say Eloy Time
Yeah, Eloy time
Davis is one tough Cat today
only thing missing is a shot to the clackers
Teague will give him one in the next pick-up game
Youser!! LOL

+1

No!

Don’t even say that.

That way he will have the COMPLETE LSU experience
OMG that was a serious foul on the Davis putback dunk!

intentional too, it looked like!

He is obviously mangnetic or something to draw so much contact.
it looked much worse on replay than it did live
yeah it did

I wasn’t upset til I saw the replay

I'm upset we don't get to play LSU at Rupp this year...

Half the Tigers wouldn’t make it back home with all their skin

If not for TJ, we'd have shot like 10% from FT today!
TJ finally finishes!!

that was fun to watch

Good drive MT, gotta finish...
Definitely TJ's best game of the season
TJ-

Has been most awesome today…

TJ just hurt his FG% and padded his rebound total
Mardi Gras miracle was 32 points right? We should beat them by that just in spite
what a game that was
Alas, I was to young to remember it

But have seen replays!

And should pour gatoraid on Trent Johnson

in spite of the Bluegrass miracle.

Great game

that was.

Apparently Cal just doesn't want to subs to ever play
they just came in
I just think this is the kinda game you could easily get them 3-4 minutes
Yeah,

My one complaint against Cal. Subs work their ass off in practice, make the starters what they are. Reward the bench with some minutes when the game is well in hand.

I refuse to second guess the man

that we are demanding number 8 from. I think he knows his business.

Not saying he doesn't know his business.

Just that I’d like to see the other players rewarded. Its hard to believe they wouldn’t be thrilled to log some game time and sure seems like it would help the “team” psyche.

There are 360 minutes of game time left

until the start of post season. Many posters on here and other sites have pointed out areas where they think the team is not ready to go all the way to #8. Calipari is using these limited opportunities to teach and gain experience for the younger players on the team. This is absolutely essential if we are to win it all. Yes, it would be nice to light the victory cigars but he won’t be doing what he gets paid so lucratively to do if he comes up short. No matter what he does he will be second guessed about something.

Seconds, literally
And they won't, unless it's at home...

Cal has picked his 7 horses, and he’s riding them to the end.

Vargas and Beckham are in there
Yeah, came in as I was typing...
Cal has the first seven

and then others. Not sure what he wants from them most games. He seems to want the seven to win the entire game

Some things we may never understand. Makes me smh.
I get it and don't get it at the same time.
I wish Lamb would dunk sometime

always just lays it off glass though

We are going to beat the spread.
AD-

Should get the next couple of days off…

Fortunately Stokes looks like he plays a tough, but clean game for the Vols
Next time we play at LSU the decision will be:

What should I pack for the trip?

OR

I prefer MMA gloves

but these have horse shoes in them!

74-50: It wasn't that close
That was a good game for the Cats
LSU-

Tangled up in Blue…

great win for the Cats

GO BIG BLUE!

Wow.

I am looking for an ice pack. I got bruised just watching that.

TJ played great too!!
27 points, 9 boards...
Glenn, can you go ahead and be a little less nice than normal to LSU in the postmortem

We don’t need to be sore winners, but lets skimp on the pleasantries a little bit.

Not going to happen.

We are above that sort of thing. One guy made and illegal play. LSU played hard, if not well. Davis looks fine.

+1
Good preparation for Vandy...
OK, but I won't thank LSU for the way the played today

I thought it was more than guy playing with what I will call unwarranted physicality in the 2nd half.

That guy should be embarrassed of his play
White not "guy"
Enjoyed it y'all - see everyone on Tuesday.
I am way impressed by how Davis handled everything!
Yes, other than the Georgia "kiss" I have never seen him out of "player" character
Really weird game

Players who usually do things did not, and players who usually don’t do things did.

Announcers still mention the IU buzzer beater...sigh...
No huge road losses though. Only one buzzer beater shot for a loss so far.
That's right ... this team is capable of playing very well and can win it all
Nite all! See you on the flip-side
See ya Gang, get geared up for UT in a couple of days...
Not supposed to look ahead-

But around here, people are already talking about the UK- Vandy matchup…

Maybe our toughest road game ...
Always tough in Nashville...
with the benches at he ends it will be tough for our freshmen to adapt .. wonder if Cal practices them that way to get ready for Vandy??
Not sure-

But, Vandy is hot and the place will be rockin’… MTSU gave them a good game there today…

Later and Go Cats'
CaL in public =====Tuesday will be against a '

fine opponent that is totally capable fo betting us…..if we can.t be physical with them or stop their all SEC player or players as all teams are going to wind up in the Big Dance. Our boys need to start believing they can be beat on any floor on any night"/

Or Cal on the plane……We can believe we are a great team playing pretty well and just walk on Suimmitt flor with total confidence and with all as a team, just beat Tennessee"

One of the things I like about our coach……he can be right two ways.

Go to watch UT / Auburn and damn if Jimmy Dykes doesn't show up .... sheesh
Lol-

I bet I can tell you what he’s saying…

I think I'll watch that game-

Catch ya’ll later… Everybody have a great rest of the week-end…

Nails, Hips and Airplanes . ... I can hardly wait - shit, what else is on? - Animal Planet has show on cats - that's better
There was Pitt beating Hoyas, but that just ended.
turned volume down .. I like to watch Stokes he's a load for UT
Dykes in the toughness drills at UT was pretty entertaining
yeah ... have to admit
On SportsCenter the brohaha continue on ref screwing up Syr/WVU game.

Many calls for suspension of refs.

Huggy’s postgame, “Did I know it was goaltending? No, I knew it was goaltending.” He’s still pissed and I don’t blame him.

At some point they arre going to give college coaches a red "challenge" flag
One a half connected to time outs like football.
Postmortem Game Ball guess??? Jones? or Davis/Jones?
Me. I had a triple-double.

Yelling at TV. Comments on ASOB, Drinks of bourbon.

Game Ball .. hands down - have another bourbon on me .... :)
Cal praising Teague in the post game show ... only 1 turnover ... lots of running coming up in practice for all of the missed free throws
I like UT this year

I’m an aficionado of post play. Stokes and Maymon aren’t tall enough to be twin towers. Twin Tanks maybe?

Stokes size "giant" shoes qualify as a tank track to me ..... or skis
Looks like "Stokes got a constichency."
Possession data for those interested

56 possessions
LSU: .89 PPP
UK: 1.32 PPP

That’s quality defense and electric offense.

a great performance .. we are tuning up
