What say ya JP??

Not much...

…oh yeah.. !!!Go Big Blue!!!

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via Android app reply

I just want to know: if the Rebs play like they did on Thursday, will the bench finally get some minutes?

Brights are supposed to be a trend this spring, you may get your wish ;-)

So is shine. (I paid attention at our fashion preview last week in Orlando.)

:)

I like brights. I need more blue attire.

They also showed a lot of orange :-(

Boo!

I am just not convinced it's worth the risk to ply our starters when the game is more or less decided

YMMV

I get the more experience part,

But the bench might need more experience too.

Understand your logic, but they can get hurt in practice too...

That’s where Ms Lady Luck rears her head.

I traded LSU / USC for Green Acres ....

Holla!

Hey Sis! :-)

Got ice yet?

Not yet! LOL

Partial install, didn’t know I’d have to take the stinkin’ thing apart to put in an icemaker!! What the crap…

hahaha

Will Miss Second Half

Build a big lead.

If it has to do with drinks with umbrellas, don't tell us about it! LOL

Same here

You guys will have to bring home the W without me

I'm at work today, booooo

I’m goofing off a LOT today though, so I bet I can still catch a bunch of the action ;)

Yay you!

Good luck with that, let us know how it works out for ya!!

Ha!

Dog and gringo vet.

Don't let the dog bite anybody...

Go Big Blue!

Nice!!

Sweet!

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via Android app reply

Going to be a lot of free throws today.

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via Android app reply

Lamb!

Get that three going early.

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via Android app reply

Ugh.

My comments wont appear where theyre suppose to.

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via Android app reply

THAT, I like.

Go Wildcats!

So glad MSG and Time Warner settled their dispute

I now get my Cats back on tv.

Go Big Blue

Good Lord

UK looks a little bit stiff

nice move TJ

Teague has new sneaks every game!

If Ole Miss rebounds, they have a chance to beat us?

No, coach, it will take more than that.

Nice dish TJ!

Nice pass TJ

+1

I want AD to hit a three.....today!

+1

TJ with a nice fake.

TJ doing all the work so far!

OOOOOOO

They're already in zone

I think it's great

Live practice against it.

MT with the dime!

"embarrassing loss" doesn't begin to describe the Ole Miss-Vandy game on Thursday

All the way down the floor without a dribble... Nice!

kinda ugly...but it worked in the end

It was, wasn't it.

I loved it!

No worries when Doron is at the line.

Not really when anyone is at the line, now that I think of it.

So scared of the block they cant even dunk in an open lane!

*snickers

There's the ill-advised shot, now a charge will complete the checklist for MKG

Great save MKG!

Wow! TJ looked great there.

TJ says "Thank ya for the finger roll..."

333333333333333333 for Doron

The 3 streak is safe!

Steamrollin'....

Lamb for 3

this will be a laugher

Streak is safe

Let the crushing begin!

Agreed! Make a statement.

Anyone have a stream by chance

NoB’s is down and no espn3 in my area thanks dmerit @ gmx.com

anyon anyone bueller

Sorry, against the Community Guidelines

dang every other game folks gave me a stream

Oh well

We used to, had to stop.

I guess I didn't know that.

no worries found one

GO BIG BLUE

Good

Excellent!

We be ...

… Takin’ care of business.

Wooohooo!!!

Hya folks.

Looking good out of the gate!

Outta control break

but Teague must have eyes in the back of his head to see Doron on that one.

not a good pass on that break

That is team work!

IT's OOONNN

Hey, Guys (and Dolls!)

Not a bad start, eh?

oldcat'69 - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Not at all....x2

Hey, Guys (and Dolls!)

Not a bad start, eh?

oldcat'69 - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Hi OC.

No bad at all.

Not bad at all!

Freakin' ipad

oldcat'69 - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Maybe a mercy call by the refs

kinda weird being only like 3 minutes into the game!

Poor Ole Miss...don't stand a chance

Nope, not today...

Nerlens sighting during the TO

kentuckyrules - February 18, 2012 reply

Heck I missed it.

Wearing black long sleeve next to a kid with a whie UK polo

Nerlens has a blue bracelet on hehe

kentuckyrules - February 18, 2012 reply

Cool!

Hope he enjoys himself…

Anyone know of game access other than ESPN3? Fellow upthread here in need.

We can't post one

Unaware - when did that happen?

A month ago.

I must have been asleep. Thanks,

I wish I had one to share, this ESPN3 feed isn't great quality

floundringaround - February 18, 2012 reply

I used to have a synced ESPN account that would allow remote access to espn3

even if your provider doesnt carry espn3…. but i forgot the password/username

Here in the DC area it is on Channel 50 an independent

That almost never happens around here. Sure beats the ESPN3 underwater effect.

I believe all 4 Ole Miss fans are sitting behind the bench

Andy Kennedy’s job security may be slipping into the negative zone

Miller in

TJ STRONG

It's TJ Day

jeffy - February 18, 2012 reply

TJ says "Mine"

Good work TJ on that board

What was that MT??

I've spent the day catching parts of several games.

In particular, looking at many of the “dark horses” for this year – Wichita State, Arizona, Washington, Marquette, Temple and Drexel. When you find the offensive strength of most of them it runs right into Anthony Davis – Cowabunga, dude.

Now I don’t even think we can get surprised by an unknown. We have a scary good team; Cuse and NC still the only viable competition if we play anywhere near what were are capable of playing.

Scary good team, luv it!

The B1G kool aid must be working, because I am genuinely impressed by OSU and MSU. Not at UK's level of potential, but very solid teams.

Sullinger doesn't want to face UK again. ;-)

Who would when 50% of your shots will beeeeee blocked? '-)

Jorts!

That look on Sullingers face looking at the ref after Jorts beaned him will live in my memory for a long time.

He took one in the gut this week, too.

He jumped to block an inbounds pass the the Minnesota player slammed it right into his stomached. You could hear the “oomph” on the telecast. Had to laugh.

I would have snickered for his stomached. '-)

(my fingers are stuttering)

No doubt he's still sporting that Spalding tattoo on his chest

*snickers

The app..

..cant keep up with the game thread. Or at least at the moment.

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Bad sequence there.

Henry is hot. We have to stop him before he gets them going.

Dang Henry is nice

Put MKG on him tight

I guess MKG has been on him

He is too quick for Jones and too big for MKG hmmmmm sounds like a job for Super Miller

MT getting some coaching on the pine...

It usually works

Funny how that works!?!?! ;-)

Ask TJ about it last week at Vandy…

Too Many Outside Shots

Too quick.

Yeah we've been good when the ball goes to the paint quick, but settling for jumpers if it's not there immediately...

BleedsBlue_N_TN - February 18, 2012 reply

Does any

body know if the game is being live streamed anywhere…???

If we did, we couldn't point you there.

I thought everybody knew this. :-(

Why is that the new rule?

legal stuff

We could be shut down.

Legal. No blog. We don’t want that.

+1 for the Hee Haw reference!

"Gloom, despair and agony on me..."

deep dark depresioin ...excessive misery

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Gloom, Despair and Agony on me ....

hahaha

good one ..LOL

I was just thinking about that the other day.

Uni, you OK??

Hm, AD bricks two FTs

Sometimes I hate smack talk. I need to hush.

Nice move Kyle!!!

Nice fake Wiltjer

That's rare

Wilt

nice pump fake

Who called for Miller on Henry??

Nice call…

Glad that's called a block

Me too - thought for sure they'd call offensive foul.

That one may actually have been

made up for it on the other end!

2 on Uni...

2 on Davis

We might get to see how the team plays without him the rest of the half.

3 cats wearing Jordan's...??

kentuckyrules - February 18, 2012 reply

Miller!

Nice job Darius!!

And good movement too…

Miller man move

good movement and decisions on that possession

Are we playing defense today?

not yet - taking this team for granted.

Can we go up by 10 again, please

Glenn said in his interview that the one thing that could cause a UK loss

is Davis in foul trouble….so we will see how they adapt

Hush your mouth! '-)

Defense guys, cmon

Uni being on the bench will be good for us...

Need this test.

TJ got schooled there...

He sure did.

TJ, D up

Tooo many long shots

PENETRATE…….thats what she said

2 point game yikers

Tough call on Darius

Well, this is interesting...

It's also uncomfortable.

Not worried yet

But c’mon. . .

yeah, settle down on offense

and start playing defense

I'm not worried, but I wanted a blowout.

If by "interesting" you mean "super frustrating"

Joe Dean Jr. is a grandfather?

Christ, I’m getting old

I just said the same thing to husband.

Wait until that grandchild has a child and tell me how you feel. '-)

Surely you arent' trying to say you have a great-grandchild....

No, but my oldest grandson will be a teenager in a month. '-(

I have been shocked when people become grandparents and then that child has a child

Talk about feeling old.

You sure are right about that.

It looks like the kids are missing their eraser's presence

I want to see how well they respond. We need to do well here, if we continue to look this weak without AD, every coach in the world will start 5 “enforcers” trying to get AD to pick up a few.

We need Miller to assert some control and put this team on his back right now.

Good points...

Exactly what I was afraid would happen. We are in a battle now.

I really think this team can shred a zone

They have everything you need to tear up a zone def but…..they have not seen a decent one so they seem out of sorts

What? That’s all they see anymore.

Wow, give him an Emmy

TEAGUE dang it

Kyle... Draino!!

Jer!

Wilt!

Swish!!!

Wilt

Loosening the zone.

Wiltjer!

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Wiltjer with the momentum shifter

not who I woulda guessed, but this game is breaking all the rules

This is as frustrating as Little League baseball politics.

GoLightning - February 18, 2012 reply

Maybe we're just messing with their heads a bit?

Lulling the Rebs into a false sense of security and/or competence?

I think they are messing with our kids' heads.

And there's the charge

checklist complete

MKG out of control.

And there's the MKG charge... Sigh

Yep. SOP.

MKG shoot is looking bad

it was way smoother earlier in the year

Right call on MKG

HE WAS MOVING

MKG bs offensive foul

that was for real

I felt like the call was correct.

Kyle drawing a charge...

Head’s in the game today!

Ditto

Im going to pull my hair out lol

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Reading Headlines Again

Cats victims of media love.

Is this the Tony Greene crew?

oldcat'69 - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Wiltjer is the only one doing anything right now

Kyle stepping up...

Wilt working on career high today.

Possible. But he’ll have to get 25.

Didn't realize it was that high.

Well, if AD comes out early 2nd half and picks up his third, Wilt will have a chance at this rate.

Yep put Wilt in the middle

Wil-CHER is keeping us in it

Wow

This is hideous

worst we’ve played all year?

Sorry, but I can’t agree with that.

What was worse?

keep in mind this was said at about the 12 minute mark…

First half at IU.

kywineman - February 18, 2012 reply

I cannot believe they have a 4 point lead.

Complete lack of focus.

I feared this.

Complete lack of defense

So much for the broadcasted practice.

We’ll not see another one again.

GoLightning - February 18, 2012 reply

Mr. Wiltjer

We really need ya today sir. Hi everybody!

Kygirl2000 - February 18, 2012 reply

Ouch

We are failing the “no AD” test

Time to get a passing grade and never take it again then.

Replay of the IU game....sloppy and AD in foul trouble

Yep

I had the same thought

MILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Poster!!!

OOOOOOOHhhhhhhHHHHHH

KA_SLAMMY!!!!!

Welcome to my poster.

MY. WORD. MILLERR!!!!!

The old man Miller, takes control again!

Miller!

What a move!

JohnPike - February 18, 2012 via mobile reply

Stuff-er-ino!!!

lol

Crowd was loud

Are you telling me Jones wasn't fouled there?

TJ, you gotta make ONE of those at least

Lost it in the end but nice fight TJ

Wilt!

Wil-cher

Wiltjer is smoking hot

Rebels been smoking, didn't you know? '-)

Oh you said hot. :-D

Kyle is scorchin' today!

Wilt came to play

Good move by Henry

Wow what a sequence for UK there

That dunk by Miller was just ferocious

he’s got two of my top 5 dunks of the year!

That looked like a Blake Griffin type dunk

Your not quite sure if its gonna be a teardrop cause he’s so far away and then BAM

Yeah, you're right

and banging into a guy you think there’s no way he’ll get the hang or the extension, and BAM! Like you say

He can do that.

This is the type of game that UK could easily lose

looking past a pretty good Ole Miss team

Eh, they're not that good

We’ll get it together.

Yep

Looking a good bit flat. Maybe they took the wrong message from the open practice. Skate-time baby

As Bill Walton would say....

“He got a facial!”

Darius's stuff needs a SportsCenter shutout

that was awfully pretty

Or a shout out . *la sigh

This will be a whole different game in the second stanza

"Kentucky isn't deep"

Well……..right now they’re being led by the #6 and #7 guys on the team.

So there..

+1

LOL...right on!

Led by #6 and 7 is exactly what I need to see.

Now I can start to get excited.

Wilt looks good

and we expect Darius to be good in these spots

+1 LOL

Just joined and cannot believe the score..WTH is going on.

Think our kids thought this team would be a cake walk, and learning that on any

given Sunday and all that jazz.

Maybe Cal still wants someone to go all nutty on us ...

I'm sure he does want that.

we'll come around ... temporary lull .... good to know we still have lots to improve on

I'm happy with all the nutty that we've already got

I don’t want us losing #1 seed.

Miller tipped that in

that’s the second time we’ve tipped it in for them

We're givers like that :-(

Well, good to know that we've got some players in DM and Kyle! ;-)

Cal may actually kill someone in the locker room

DARIUS!

Again!

x2!!

MILLER x2!!!

Miller is gettin' off

And now my junior high brain is lol'ing

Did Nerlins inbound that ball?

I probably misspelled his name.

He needs to help Terrence Jones get that ball out of his eye

Smooth!

Great find TJ!!

Travel........

They found their answer

Amazing what making a couple shots does for you.

D?

Don’t you have to think this is a case of not playing the kind of defense we have come to expect?

The defense has been very porous

Spurtability?

we need a spurt

I think

That having to play a few min without AD isn’t the worst thing in the world

Kygirl2000 - February 18, 2012 reply

depends on which team you are playing..

Would rather

It be today and not tuesday

Kygirl2000 - February 18, 2012 reply

Yep, amazing how good Henry looked after AD sat down.

He looked fine before that

put a 3 in AD’s eye, for one

Was that Henry?

I remember the shot, but not who shot it. Henry’s feeling it today.

so agree with you

BTW, how many fouls on AD ?

two

Thanks..

Davis is actually stuck on 2 ....

He’s made 2 baskets, has 2 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 fouls

Time for him to hit a 3333333333333?

needs something to get going ... hope he doesn't get to impatient in the 2nd half - needs to just let the game come to him

that's a good sequence quad 2's. :)

and missed two FTs

At least he isn't "stuck on stupid."

GoLightning - February 18, 2012 reply

+1

Excellent recovery by the Cats

they didnt panic at all

Yeah, still up 8

We’ll cover (21.5)

Shaky

but they overcame it and finished well

Looked like

the quick early lead made them complacent and they thought they could mail it in. Rebels going ahead got their attention and they took care of business. Good recovery.
