Mississippi Rebels at Kentucky Wildcats: Second Half Open Game Thread

As I feared, it's on like you-know-who. (via toiletbowl martini)

Well, that half was interesting, and the Mississippi Rebels made it that way with great play from Murphy Holloway, Terrance Henry, and Jelan Kendrick. But the Wildcats responded to every challenge and ended the half making 3 straight baskets from 3-point range, surrendering only a single free throw, to take an 8-point lead.

We need better play in the second half. Mainly, we need more patience.

It was the middle one!
There's the scariest pixelated monster.

Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech tied 6.4 sec.

And going to OT

The ESPN multiple screen option is very cool

Note to TJ:

There’s no help on the baseline. Make your man beat you to the middle!!!

Yep it's amazing how much they rely on AD to make up for their mistakes

Echo...
Yeah, danged iPad!!
You'll get used to it... Eventually!
We like echoes.
Heh. Indeed.

Well, there may be this half, at least.

Where is the D Miller Dunk gif?
A2d2 had a photo on the previous thread

I haven’t seen anyone put a gif together yet

2nd half blow-out, feeling it...
They need to get started.
Goal tending.. c'mon AD, you are better than that
Excellent body control by Henry
Henry having a helluva game...
Someone in the front row now has SPALDING tatooed on their forehead
Nice patience TJ!
Teague was fast
MT was flying up the floor.
Hey, didn't know TJ had a floater in the toolbox!!

Oh yeah. He’s done that several times this year.

As a matter of fact, he made a fall away floater against Vandy. He got fouled but there was no call. He just sorta floated it up and it went in.

that was so cool by TJ
TJ with a floater?? WTF?? :-)
Hey it worked and beats a charge anyday
Oh, I certainly agree!! But haven't seen that from TJ this year...

Nice expansion of his game…

That Jones floater ...

… is just something you never see from a player that size.

Great stuff.

Cats are rollin' now
AD is having a quiet game and we are still holding on.

Feels good.

Never much liked

that running floater, but Lamb, Teague, and now Jones are changing my mind!!!

I'd prefer a jumper off the glass too, but hey, whatever works, right??
It is a holiday weekend; the bank might not be open.
It's a good shot for a guard to have

normally forwards don’t need it, cuz they should be looking for contact moreso…

Teague was fouled....
MKG - decision making
Ugh, Davis just let that one go
3 on Darius...
two on Miller
Thought he had 2 in the first half??
Well, there was a foul in the first half that they decided to give to Lamb instead

even though if there was a foul, it clearly appeared to be on Miller

Gotcha! Thanks for the update...

Could have sworn he had 2, now I know!

Let's not have another passive stretch this half guys

C’mon! Go Big Blue!

Charging would have been the call if the guy with the ball was in white!!!!!!
Oh, do you mean a blarge?
Goose!
Another auto-rec!
What career did he go on to after basketball?
He was with Central Bank for awhile...
According to Wiki
After his playing career, Givens was an NBA television color analyst for various networks and teams, most notably with the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) and the Orlando Magic for both the Sun Sports and FS Florida cable stations from the team’s inception in 1990 to 2004 before being replaced by Matt Guokas.
Special note to this
named that year’s Final Four Most Outstanding Player due in most part to his 41-point performance in Kentucky’s 94-88 victory over Duke University in the championship game.

A great game. I got to see it on TV while living in Tennessee. Goose made shots from everywhere. No 3 at that time.

That was a weird play
Davis having a rough day
Nice go after there.
Well, after all he's done this year, an off day is acceptable...

That bunch of experienced ’Ole Miss baseline players would give anybody nightmares. This team is not a rabble. They are a very worthy opponent.

That looked clean to me
Man, the refs are all over the place
Well, there a prime example of going for the block and not getting a rebound!
amen

alley oop MKG to TJ

There ya go MKG!
MKG on the board finally
Nice one handed touch from MKG
He's really good from the stripe on in... Outside of that, not so much.
Great response by Kentucky to the Ole Miss challenge.

If I’m Coach Cal, and this game is a victory, I don’t fail to mention that.

Matt Goukas replace

Goose Givens? Ha!!!

Good job Doron!
Oop City Baby!!!
Da...Da...Da...Dunk
Unibrow's Fifth?
I can't watch the game and count blocks and post gifs and look at Wiki and blog at the same time! '-)
I don't know?? You do pretty good! LOL
Counting blocks too, this year, is above my doings. "-)
Nice (wait for it) "Rim Run" from Davis on the oop
I didnt thing he could get that...

please forgive me for doubting….

"Used to throw lobs to Bowie just like..."

That will make you smile.

Joe Dean has been around the program awhile

Always good to hear his voice.

too bad he was a Tiger
'scuse me - he was a Bayou Bengal
its like the opposite of the Vandy game

tight first half and a big second….

I'd Rather Have This

Every time.

Davis is the difference IMO
for sure

it looks like the whole team is more confident with him on the floor

Maybe Lamb is the difference :)
Cats and Rebels have more points

than Unc and Clemson

Lamb is cooking today!
Why was Wiltjer at the rear of the press?
Not touching that
The Cats are killers in the open floor...

I love a team with a lot of “kilfers”. ;-)

???? Lost me on this one... I spelled killers right, right??
you did, i think hoboat meant to as well....
Me thinks it has been 5:00 all day in Ar-kansas
Well, you know what they say...

It’s pronounced Ar-ken-ass! ;-)

was that Arkansaw or Ar Kansas?
weird

came up kilfers here at first but not now. (maybe the spittle on the monitor skewed it, damn kids!)

Always blame the kids. Been there.
At least they're good for something.

(The tax deduction isn’t nearly enough)

LOL

They make screen cleaner, ya know??

In his defense, all it took was one little speck to cross one L
Yeah,

buy my mouth is to dry to wet my tongue. Need beer.

I use this

One.

I may have to try that.

My dog is 110 pound lab that will short out the computer.

Yellow or black?

I love dogs.

thats a big lab

mine is bout 95 or so

UK 9-15 from 3 so far
Burying them from 3

Wiltjer needs to be a little stronger down low

he dont look comfy in the paint
He doesn't like contact
When Miller gets rythme to

set his feet on the three, you know it’s going in.

“rythme”? (face palm)

did you mean "time"?
Rhythm or time, not sure.
Ding Ding, we have a winner.

Rhythm

I couldn't even come up with a good idea.
We knew what you meant.... ;-)

bkg isn’t here, she’s the only English major in the crowd!

What?
blue kentucky girl is an English major...
Afraid for a minute you meant me and I was an Accounting major - no

English here!

Yeah, I’m an ingineere; cann’;t speeeell.

Ha! Paddling that boat with ya...
me too ... can't spell anything half the time ...
Composite word:

Rhythm and Time. I like it!!

How good has our Offensive Rebounding been?
unoficially UK has 8
I somehow get the feeling that we don't grab a lot.
We've done well on the boards today
Ok.. I'll take that

I didn’t watch the first half and the ones that I saw we didn’t do good.

Miler nice strip
Switched during TO

CU/Utah 8 to 6 with 7 to go in 1st half

We’re humming pretty good now.

Kyle's confidence has really come along of late...
Wiltjer's not gunshy that's for sure

good thing he’s making a bunch

doesn't Kentucky supposed to wear a uniform sometime

this year with CATS on the front?

Hadn't heard about that.
Any chance for a Vargas sighting today???
One would think
yes, one would.
I think it would be good for the team .. to get him some game time
There's the spread...
Oh man, that is an old school flattop on Noel!!
Yep thats a Kid'n Play flat top for sure!
Jamal Mashburn flashback
Defensive board by Miller

mark your calendar!

Good job refs for the no-call
I love how MKG scrambled to help AD up after that hard fall

Love, love, love Gillie the Kidd

Have a great one folks

Gonna catch the end of the game but gotta run quick after that.

Go Big Blue.

See you next time.
You too sweasyf
See ya Tuesday!
Ick, ugly ugly possessions the last two or three
lots of good and bad in this game .... hope we have our stuff in one sack by next Tuesday
Poor clock management,

poor floor management.

Coach or guys?

Just wondering. No wrong answer, you know.

Need to a strong finish to beat the spread.

Eagle said 21.5 I believe.

That was the last I heard but don't know if changing before the game or not??
They need to clean it up.

They seem to end these blowouts in an ugly manner. Sure would like to see them finish cleanly for a change.

Statsheet has 21. Good one Eagle. I had no idea.
Oh, there's what made my head hurt this morning!! LOL
Where is the Murray game? Is it ESPN?
why on earth is this posted here.......
We got some

Murry fans here.

I meant why did my post show up in that location!

I love Murray State – I’m an alum and watched that game with glee! Just didn’t expect my post to show up in that location on the board!

Eroy on the way!!
YAY!! What happens in Vargas stays in Vargas
Nerlens Noel is 6'10"

7’3" with the high top

Yeah, that's true...
Bench in! Yay!
haha

good for them, but so much for winning by 15!

Beckham and 'Loy!!!

Twany, how I love you, how I love you, . . .

Any particular reason??
Every time he's been in,

he acts like he’s been there before, unlike some of the other bench-riders. I think there’s promise for the kid, that’s all. Plus, I was just making a pun of his first name.

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee.
I give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-
Even though my mammy’s
Waiting for me,
Praying for me
Down by the Swanee.
The folks up north will see me no more
When I get to that Swanee shore.

Maybe I should have finished with,

“My dear old Twany”

Whew what a weak foul on ELoy!
Another win for the CATS!

GO BIG BLUE!

Well, there we go... :-)

A W, I’ll take it…

New rule proposal

If you are lucky enough to sit directly behind the benches, you MAY NOT leave until the cameras are off. Deal?

A good win guys.

See you all on Tuesday.

Game over.

Somebody get Kennedy a cab (from Cincinnati).

Errands to run .. see ya'll Tuesday ...
Headin' on down the road!

Have a great night.

Go Cats!!!!

You too 69. (That sounds presidential-like) '-)
Cal is 50-0 at Rupp!
49-0?
From CBSSports
Terrence Jones had 15 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 1 Kentucky to a 77-62 victory over Mississippi on Saturday, the Wildcats’ 50th consecutive win at home.
What am I missing? Help me out.

I didn’t do the math, but I see we lost on Senior Night March 4th 2009, BCG’s last home game. Unless you count the NIT win at Memorial as a home win?

I think BCG gets credit for that 1 win that started this streak

I could be wrong

It looks like BCG's win AT Memorial started the home win streak

I think?? So I guess Cal is 49-0. (Guess I will have to take back his gifted 50 win ball too. ‘-)) He’s gotta be getting close to 500 … again.

Will Kentucky break their own record with the streak at

129?

Yes if they run it to 130. That 129 is also the NCAA record.

Set the bar even higher at 130 or more

:)

GO CATS’

that will be a tuff one to top

but it can be done

Hmmmmmmmm?

Which one to pick?
