if ever there was a game that needed

NEW THREAD MOJO!!!

See above! :-)
above!?

check the time buddy – I got there first ;-)

You are right! Sorry Eagle.
Dang it! LOL

It showed up first in my browser…

the team needs all the new mojo they can get ;-)
A fresh board for a fresh half

needed

MKG on the bench

He wasn’t himself in the 1st half.

I think Cal sprouted a few gray hairs tonight
Cal's doctor is probably on speed dial for games like this
needs some dapper dan :)
DM: Thanks for the follow Smooth...
Miller steal, good thing Lamb trailed
Jones with an absolute stuff
Teague is money from 16 feet at the key
Come on guys!
Miller - his game has gone backwards recently

I don’t understand

1000 point curse?
What happened Teddy, swallow your whistle there??
Flabbergasting!
I'm seriously starting to get worried.
Teague needs to be tougher

If he had stood his ground he would have drawn the charge.

It was still a horrid call
I'm surprised at how late it was

but it was an obvious blocking call.

There was virtually no contact
on the drive?

there was – if Teague had stood his ground he would have taken it in the chest and drawn a charge, but he bailed out and clipped him in the side instead

What is with all of the late calls against us?

The plays move on and then they bring it back? Ridiculous.

15 seconds later.....
We excel at turning the ball over
Yep

like we’ve been practicing it

Wow..seems like all of the 'Cats are trying as one-on-one to make something happen...

play team ball guys, you all know how to.

Team ball. Great idea.
I only heard of it working, in "theory"

:)

I'm disgusted!
kick the TX fan lol
That made me smile!
What part of NM??

Spent some time in Clovis in a previous life…

Alamogordo, the AF sent me.
No other reason to visit Clovis or Almaghetto... :-)
That is a true statement.

Hoping for orders to Florida the end of this year.

Did some Eglin time, really liked it there.

‘Course, from about November to March you have to watch out for the little blue-haired ladies in their Cadillacs but other than that it’s all good…

So when is the run coming?

or is it coming at all?

if we lose, the run will be back to Lexington
As fast as their legs will go! Don't look back; Cal is

catching up…….Run….

With Cal driving a monster truck behind them yelling "Faster!" ;-)
What are they doing????
Man, I'm not blaming them

but every tacky call has seemed to go to UALR

MKG just isn't getting it today
Is this the run?
Hahaha, that looked like the start of a cool dance routine maybe
School these Fools!
ok folks

its over now !!

40-34 UK for those without access.
Wow, terrible terrible call
wow

There was no push at all there

If so, it was certainly ticky-tack...

2 games in a row now… We piss somebody off??

it's hard to tell for sure from the angle

But it didn’t look like Teague even touched him at all

I think he gave him a little shove, but I don't know if it was worth calling a foul over based on some of the things I've seen tonight
Thanks, the stream is behind, not complaining but I see 34-35 Cats
that's just inexcusably bad
This is absurd

it’s like two different rules for fouls depending on who is playing offense

I've never seen so many bad calls.
Ok, who's playing point now?
AD it seems. ;-)
Uni with some range!!
Davis hit a long jumper
Miller, PRETTY

1000

Darius makes 1000!
Maybe that is the trick, there.
Now DM, that was a 3!
miller finally gets his 1000!
Up 10!

Finally!

looked like cal told him about time
Finally, some hope

I was about to go buy an orange shirt so I could hit myself

Miller gets his 1000th point

And still gets glared at by Cal in the huddle. Come on, Coach….1 little smile won’t hurt you….

Cal is worried about team performance right now,

not individual achievement.

So was Darius, when he threw the lob instead of shooting. He was open. Just an observation.
Also a good point
guy is one bowlegged fella
UK up by 10, time out
My ESPN3 has cleared up some.

Neighbor must have been watching a Netflix movie or something.

wonder how New Mexico girl is doing with her feed?
lol
It's awesome just behind a little.
Read slowly, then it will seem synchronized... ;-)
Between Kid n' Play and his buddy Dreads....UALR is sporting some interesting hair
Follow it, TJ
i wish Twany would get up to speed at PG, we need it.
I would like to see him get some time.
Smooth does a good job at the point...

No complaints from me!

I want more depth, that's all.
K, I can see that...
well that was a weird foul

but fits right in with the rest of this game

33333333333333333
33333333 for DM
I want TJ to go back to scowling and posing.

He was fine before he got all the flack.

I agree and have thought that for some time. Let the kid

express himself – everyone else on earth can.

Awakening the sleeping giant

Both awesome and historic
Take that Lilliputians!
even a 6'10" lilliputian ...
Jones rewrote the traveling rules there ;)
haha, yeah, and doing it in slow motion
TJ coming around, having a decent little game...
Suddenly, UK up 17

there was that run

we'll all look back at that 1st half and laugh
My mood has improved substantially.
Smooth looks good shooting layups!! :-)
can doron dunk?
Yeah, but 99.9% of the time he does a layup on the break...
cameraman is sloooow!
Order is restored to the universe
There walks Arkansas Little Rock...the dummies that thought they were gonna beat UK

;-)

if you don't think you're gonna win

why play?

Agreed

if you gonna play, play hard. They had my serious respect about 3 minutes into the game.

They had me scared about 3 minutes into the game.
Now, this is the Jones I love...

he’s very intense this game :)

9 mins since UALR has had a FG
That's quite a while.
Was the LR player outside the arc there?? Sure would like to see a replay of that charge...
I want a replay too

but that was probably a charge for real

he was outside the arc
definitely outside the arc and looked set....just rewound it
I thought he was outside the arc.

The call was not as bad as some I have seen. He was maybe still moving when AD went up – but it takes him a while to get all that body up.

was that really a charge on AD?
Ok, my ESPN3 feed just froze

AD with a charge? Really?

UK on 23-1 run since the 17:12 mark
UK really gets framed for a ton of offensive fouls...
UK 35 boards, LR 16
Davis with a man board!
Jones and Davis playing ping pong
chuck guy sounds like a witness protection name!
Mmmmm, I'm not sure that was a great choice by AD

despite what the announcers say

Cal acting like it was a practice! LOL
hope he has a live stream for the next practice lol
Finally An AD Post Up
Your wish comes true!
Cal seems a bit more animated this year.
Wow, horrible call in our favor that time
Ok folks, gonna watch the Sugar Bowl....later
Take care - good night.
over this???
He couldn't wait a few minutes. :-)
got to do what you got to do ... cats got this one
Back to sleep for the kitty cats
Why was that guy left out there all alone?
Teague forgot to switch...
They said Cal was mad at Lamb for that...
Smooth was guarding somebody, Teague wasn't...

Assumed it was MT that goofed up but could be wrong…

Breakfast Club Not Working

All that well as far as communicating goes.

there we go with AD
What. A. Finish.

by Davis

Based on the way they are calling I thought that must have been a charge?
TJ was just waiting on that shot!
Think he practically mugged the guy too!
I bet Glenns

write up will be interesting lol

It will be, because I'm writing it, LOL
bet yours will be too
Nice finish by Teague there

might be the first good thing he’s done tonight

How did MT not get fouled there based on the calls earlier??
UK 51% fg, LR 29%
Here's hoping that this is the worst game they play this year.
Worst half, for sure...
Seton Hall up 18 with under 3 to play against UConn

Huskies can’t lose enough

Would like to see Syracuse lose to Marquette on Saturday //
Entirely possible... Marq has a good-looking ball club!
I agree totally
From what I've been reading on La Twitter, UConn having the same kind of start the Cats did tonight

Difference being: we hope UConn doesn’t shake it off. like, ever.

SH has a pretty good squad this year

Herb pope has been terrific

If they lost every game they played it would suit me right

down to the ground. (UConn, that is).

Crashing the glass, like it!
TJ and Davis do work on the glass

did they say MKG has the flu or something?

Speculating, I think.
Miller STRONG!
Wilt needs about 20lbs of muscle...

He’ll be a machine when that happens….

Agreed. He needs the kind of bulk-up summer TJ had this year.
I love Miller. And I love Kyle Macy

but to suggest that Miller is their best post player is silly.

I wanted to marry Macy when I was a little girl.
You weren't along in that! LOL
Inane is the word of the day... :-)
How come we never seem to beat the spread?

We are usually close, but seem to rarely beat it. Even with UL we gave up like 8 points in the last 2 seconds to drop to 1 UNDER the spread.

I think Miller's stroke is back...

/understatement

he's shooting >40% since the UNC game
I think you just redefined the word "understatement"
OMG, Darius. That was GORGEOUS!
Easy there Sister... :-)
But....it was so pretty.....
LOL Just razzing ya gal...
The team is in trouble when I (finally) get o see them live in March

I might huggle them all to death in my mind. :-)

comin down to watch em ?
SEC tourney baby!

Blue Orleans!!!!!

good for you !!!

I think the FF is ther too, you can go back

SECT and the NCAAT in Nola? I didn't realize that.
I knew the FF was. Wow!
we'll be used to the place lol
yes, they're both in Blue Orleans.

it gave me the excuse I needed to get tickets for both.

Wiltjer with the hack
turrible call
just turrible.
really turrible
Well, ESPN3 says our event has ended and thanked

me for watching. So,we’ll wait for Ken to sum it up for us. Night all.

See ya!

I’m out too Gang, have a great evening!

Later folks.

Until we meet again.

Glad that one is over.

All’s well that ends well.

I am very glad that game is over.

Can we all just agree to remember that Miller made his +1000 point tonight and never speak of this game again?

Good night from NM.

Thank heavens I can show my face at work tomorrow. Work with a couple of rabid dUKe fans and the were brutal after Indiana. This would have been MUCH worse.

really kick them !!!
