Tennessee at Kentucky: Second Half Open Game Thread

Kentucky right now is on Rock & Roll Boulevard versus Tennessee. (via LoveIsAllThatMatters)

Kentucky right now is on Rock & Roll Boulevard versus Tennessee. (via LoveIsAllThatMatters)

After a blazing start, the Kentucky Wildcats wind up up 13 points after some lights-out three point shooting by the Tennessee Volunteers.

Kentucky has to be better on the perimeter, but they could hardly be better defending the two. A lot of game left, though.

First!!!
Here's your award

nah....my life is it's own reward!!!

Stop that you all.

Or die!

oh my !!
she scares me and I aint afraid of nothing!!!
hahaha Glenn told Bluehound "die".

My work is done. :-) I’m so scary, you know.

a file from old

times……seen first on KSR and up again tonight. Makes me smile

"'cause first of all, it's Tennessee."
I have watched that a hundred times probably.
Me too as it

is a double double..poking at Alabama and Tennessee at the same time.

I hate pumpkin orange too! Ha
Every time I watch that I laugh!
Allright - I Dare ya big blue!

Beat out Blake Griffin’s throwdown yesterday. That was a DUNK.
But I know AD, and TJ and DM and MKG and all the guys have it in them. THROW IT DOWN like that! Always better when it’s on UT.

who got the blue ribbon?
ABC/Greg. For that stupid "first"
Spelling police!!!!

That’s “stoopid”, right?

Ohh. Emm. Gee.

I love ^that, btw.

GO TO THAT GAME!

A non UK note. During the first half the announcers said ST Mary’s is coming to Murray. As the resident WCC expert and having seen Murray play (see my post about the JP) all I can say is FORGET THE COST GET A TICKET AND GO TO THIS GAME.

It will be amazing. Heck I might travel back to the JP for it. Wow what a great match up.

Would you define JP for me?

Flew right over my head in you FanPost.

jackson purchase I assume
Ahhhh, makes sense now.
Jones turned up the D on Woolridge late in the second half
Meant first half
I just thought you could see the future
UK starters out scored UT's 36-5
UT was 2-20 from two point territory
Davis

could be

The Manager

UT had 9 offensive RB's

We need to hit the glass better than that.

Back to UK

The first 10 minutes by UK were just about perfect. Heck it was as perfect as perfect can be when humans are involved.

What is it about Rupp that turns unknowns into Kevin Grevey?

I thought Woolridge was going to have his Jodie Meeks game
Swatcats are nice, but I still prefer "Don't even think about it"
We made 12 FT's, UT 0
I guess wearing my blue thong, helped offset the curse of the "platinum" unis.....!!!!
My eyes, my eyes
Oh, Geez.

Have you no decency, sir?

not when it comes to playing Tennessee I don't......
have you not a platinum thong??
It may not be 101-40, but here's to keeping the foot on the gas.

At least for about the first 15, and then put the walk-ons in.

UK games now redubbed:

“Basket-A-No-No”

0 for 3 from three land

i am going to hate the uni’s if streak ends…

guess i can't hate the new uni's now

LOL!

If J Lo (or your equivalent) was in a potato sack -

Wouldn’t you hate the potato sack? (Hate the unis, love the team.)

Big 10 BB Is Boring

But matchups are even. Illini up 2 on Izzo.

Since everyone was asking...

Sausage, Mushroom and Black Olives! :-)

And anyone that’s got enough class to post here is welcome at my place anytime!!

Peez-za or peet-za?
My fav.

thin crust?

Thick...
Like your head.

You been talkin' to my Momma???
Yeah, she wanted me to send along a pic.

OMG !!!!
sometimes words just don't really explain.
Dude, that's harsh!! LOL

Shoulda seen my first choice. ;-)

Thanks for not doing that...

The 2nd choice is bad enough!

Hard to keep your pizza down.
Yep...

Had a gas bubble, but forced it back!

Ohh. Emm. Gee.
Bruce Pearl without his spray tan
The second one favors BP a little more. :-}
you are correct ...
Hold the olives
I love black olives!
I love olives, and gotta have banana peppers. The one thing I gotta have.
don't like sausage - use pepperoni next time!
Old, pepperoni gives me heartburn!! LOL
you'd sheet if bout 20 of us showed up lol
Would that awesome, or what??

Give me advanced notice, don’t stock that much bourbon!! ;-)

You calling us lushes? :-)
No, but if you can drink bourbon like I can, we're gonna need backups!
Don't need bourbon - I'll be having a margarita!
Bring your blender...
Rocks - no blender required.
Got plenty of ice and glasses, we're good!
Bad call, Golden pushed off with his right arm!!
Back to school for Stokes
The Vols would love to end our three point streak...

like the football Cats’ did to them.

But too late now. LOL!

Nice hands Wilt!
That looked good. Did you see that sweet YouTube video Kyle put up for his mom?
His mom

must have loved it…..

She did do a pretty good Bernie...
No
You need to look it up after the game. So sweet.
OK, cute

But who’s Bernie?

Weekend at Bernie's
Ah, got it...thanks
Wilt's got game?

He could be a star next year

Yup. He'll be with us for awhile. Can't wait to see him next year!
With 10 extra pounds!
vols have picked up their intensity.
Nice series by Wiltjer on both ends
I love MKG's "take it to you"
No turnovers for Mr Teague

with three assist and 7 points.

Wiltjer doing work.

MKG doing what he does.

TJ

Does Jones have the fire tonight?

I think he's looking good.
Certainly did in the 1st half, kinda cooled a bit...
free throws looking good tonight...

14-16 at 80%

4 on Maymon!
That's good because he is a stud
and Davis has really done a job on Stokes
Stokes 4 boards and 0 points
Maybe he shouldn't have stretched.
or stretched more
Darius The Great!!!
Darius is great
And he might keep improving

as we close in on the end of the season. Could be scary good by tourney time (as well as the rest of the team). Goose bumps.

Wow scary good.
Can I join the I love DM club now?
We have room
It must be good

My daughter just brought me a plate of hot apple pie and ice cream as I typed that.

HERO

Bless her...

Where’s ours???

I hope store-bought is good
There are benefits.
Really though

Darius seems to mean more to us as the season goes. Initially I thought he would be invaluable early and then the young talent would take over… Older talent matters as much later in the year as early. This may be for modern ball, the best mix of young talent/experience we will see for a long, long time.

Well, there's DM's rebound...

Calling JL????

Davis needs 3 rebounds and 5 block shots

for a tiple double.

Can he do it?

boards easy.....5 more blocks???

will UT shoot that many times?

needs 4
yep.

4 now.

3 now and just needs 2 rebounds
Come on AD, do it!
He is so close again.
just showed 7 rebounds
Davis 14 pts 8 boards 7 blks
He's hurting himself.

He’s blocks it so he can’t rebound it. ;-)

This is an amazing game

So far this has been a complete butt whipping. The score doesn’t look that bad but only because Woolridge had an amazing few minutes. It might get under 10, heck UT could take the lead, but the Cats have completely whipped them

With energy and execution

it seems we should be up much more

Take 15 off UT's score and it looks better...
getting tired of the charges
That last one was a block, not a charge.
And it nullified a DM 3 ball...
35-51 UK

True story, I typed 51 before AD shot his second FT. I had faith.

34 oops. 36 - 53 now, 7:36
i want a triple double
I want a triple

scoop of Breyer’s vanilla.

With vanilla specks.
I'm calling it....this one was never in doubt
What's up Bro?? You lurkin' tonight??
Probably a bit worried I will ask him if the jet is still in the shop. :-)
eagle has a bunch of jets

he could pick us up lol

They're only one and two seaters.

We’ll have to sit on the wings.

surely theres a B52 there somewhere
Kinda cold at altitude! :-)
Only Seats 6
We gotta get a bigger jet then.
Me thinks we have plenty able to pilot the thing.
I think he was thinking in the bays, which prompted my "cold at altitude" comment! :-)
yeah, and we can fly over Yum center too lol

drop one or two

Just for the fun of it.
The US has a habit of doing that, ya know...
Really slapping at Davis' arms all night.

And getting away with it. UT should have about 100 fouls by now.

Slapping at Miller and Teague too
i think tonight's game....

nullifies the book saying you beat UK by being physical

and the LSU game too
Uniforms

These are ok. I think they would be better if the Kentucky and the numbers were in blue and everyone wore proper socks like MKG.

This is a serious butt whipping…man.

Stokes really would have look gooded playing with Wiltjer next year. Too bad.

After starting 10 for 10

The Cats are just 7 for 23.

UT got really physical.

They have played really good, physical defense.

They just ran into a buzz saw.

Knob Creek

Tonight’s 2nd half KB is not for calming my nerves, it’s for (dare I say) celebrating

Think you're safe... ;-)
I'm Wake Forest's biggest fan tonight.
Come on AD23

You can do it.

I hate NC

Have watched our game with NC three times…and we win every time

Brother, I hear that.
Food Theme: Snicker Bar, Pizza, Cookies :)
Always room for bacon here.
and bourbon
Or bourbon bacon. Yum.
Bacon flavored bourbon with bacon
Don't forget the drinks:

Bourbon, margarita, wine, scotch and blue kool-aid

A margarita sounds really good tonight.
Yes it does. I might have to stir up a celebratory libation after the game.
One bourbon, one scotch and one beer...
Darn - AD has a pretty smooth 19 ft jumper
He's finally getting some confidence shooting it... Really looked better with the shot the last 3 games or so...
rollin'

Let’s beat these guys by 30

Beat 'em like a rented mule.
AD23 triple double watch..

5 mins to go.

Can he do it?

i thought he got number 8 block just a minute ago

but i guess not

what's AD stat's right now..??
18 pts, 8 boards and 7 blocks
He was so close early this season
and flirting with it again...

Dang It!

eFG% Will Be Poor
free throws good though
McBee on Jones?

YGBSM!!!!

Line of the night.

“He’s a menace” talking about MKG.

Menace is being nice if you are an oppenent
I LOVE the way these kids play the game
That replay with MKG going up the floor with the big old grin on his face

is what it is all about. The guys having fun!

I spy fun!
Me too

Fun is fun, but now they are having fun as a team. REAL FUN

Good sign...

for something special to happen soon. :)

With TJ smiling back at him. They look like they're having fun. Love it!
Love the shot of Coach Hall. Still not used to hearing "the late Mel Turpin".
7 blocks puts AD at a total of 108 for season?
Fun, did you see TJ?
TJ with some nimble feet right there!
Did anybody notice that

these guys are pretty good?

I think they might be best in all the land.....
It isn't even February yet!
And was it JUST 3 years ago

we were sweating bullets about getting to big dance…..and didn’t?

Yes, then came the door.
Don't even make me think about that.......
Big guys that can handle the ball is hard to beat
Most I have seen

Jones smile

Don't you love it.

It is great to dominate and have fun

Up 21, Up 21 FT Line
TJ has his groove on!!!
Eroy, with emphasis!!
Ruh roh shaggy.
Vargas with a man's rebound.
He was checking his arm for length.....lol
Eloy played with some swagger tonight
mr Vargas to you!
Vargas doesn't take any crap out there
MKG has been so fun to watch tonight!
I think General Custer did a little better against the Indians

then UT did tonight at Rupp

3 wins against the Vols..

Football Cats

Lady Cats

The Wildcats

4... Beat UT BB twice this year...
4 - 2 times in mens bball
Don't forget Cheer Leading, ha ha
NEXT!
Carolina ... that would be you ...
another 44 ... same at Georgia ... excellent defense
I really do think that Kentucky likes playing defense better than they do offense.....

lol

Jones played great in second half
Cool..warmup is over

February schedule is next and we got a doozy. If we are this happy at the end of Feb. Things will be GOOD

Yes Sir, absolutely true...
Sipping

the Booker and smiling. Night all

now we have a tough stretch coming up...
Okay, boys and girls,

I’m off to another (short) golf trip, YUK, YUK. Good job tonight. Thanks to Greg for wearing the sacred blue thong. It must have worked.

It was fun. Thanks, everyone.

Have ... wait for it ... FUN!
Thanks for lettin' me join in tonight! Had fun. Go CATS!
We are always here. Thanks for joining.

Come back anytime. Don’t forget to tip your waiter.

Come back anytime...
glad you were here
These guys are really good

and could be great. What a butt whipping. Goodness.

you're welcome kygirl
OK OK so did we play like the #1 team in America tonight???
I'm out, going to fart fire...

Hopefully it will be out by Saturday! ;-)

Mrs Eagle looks a bit frightened. :-)
walkin around with a fire extinguisher

Good nite all.

it’s been fun (usually is when your team shellacks the bad guys, and yes, UT will always be the bad guys.)

OK, so I gotta go change so I can breathe again.....

very nice to see those unis did not get the best of us…..and even nicer to see that unless we stub our toes…..it’s gonna be a Mardi Gras finish this year!!!!…..night all

later hoboat and

Go Cats’

Thanks, Caf Fans

Looking forward to replay.

I Love this team!

GO BIG BLUE!

BOBO where are U ?
Ripping apart his voodoo doll?
I'll wait till tomorrow to view the 1st half

great win and goodnight folks

Darn TV halftime.

Randall can be my "Y" anytime.
i love this team so much

I thought 2009-10 was the greatest collection of talent ever. This year’s team is almost making me forget them. Anthony Davis is an even more unique player at his position than John Wall was at his… He is the most dominant defensive presence UK has EVER had! Plus MKG playing harder than any cat in recent history (apologies to Deandre), Teague coming into his own, Miller being the steadying hand, and Terrence being Terrence again…. Lamb is just icing on the cake. I have never had so much fun watching a team play!

I agree with all of the above ... the toughest part of the schedule is ahead of us and I really like the way we are playing right now
OK so I missed the game

BUT only because I was driving down to Knoxville! I should wear my Uk gear the next 3 days down here. I assume the guys played well looking at the box score. Davis had a nice game from the numbers?!

it was a fun game to watch

everyone played well for the most part
