Kentucky Wildcats (1) 86 at South Carolina Gamecocks 52: Post Game Open Thread

This game was as good as it gets. (via Vectorportal)

This game was as good as it gets. (via Vectorportal)

A full postmortem will have to wait. I want to eat and relax awhile before dissecting the game, but there isn't that much to say -- it was kind of one-sided.

So chat about the game in here. Enjoy, and relax. Kentucky played great, we all know that, and that's where we need to keep our focus.

Go, 'Cats!

First!!!!
oh that was stupid !! LOL
Stuck on stupid.
Unfortunately South Carolina listened

to Jimmy Dyke’s advice. If they had kept going inside Anthony would have gotten 10 blocks at least.

I thought "stuck on stupid"

referred to leaving him open for the lob.

You are right. My bad.

But it applied equally as well when we were on defense.

absolutely....

wish they had driven in two more times!

He just did it once, so he is not "stuck on stupid."
Thought I had been switched to the juvenile site. :)
just young at heart
Glenn

I am relieved that SC didn’t disscover a way to distort the space-time continuum! LOL

They didn't but I believe they are convinced

that Anthony Davis has!

Anthony Davis

is everybody’s worst nightmare and I bet the loves it. I know I do.

of all the things he did tonight...

i loved it when he switched and was on their PG. he stayed with him on the drive and then blocked the shot. how many 6’ 10’ men can guard a PG?

*bet "he" loves it.*
Why do I have this overwhelming desire to dig out old 33LP's and listen to 70's classic rock anthems??
Now we are bullies who beat up on South Carolina?????????????????????????
From where is this coming?
Reece Davis said it on SC Gameday
And Digger was our biggest cheerleader.

When Davis scoffed at Digger for bragging on our defensive game tonight because it was only South Carolina, Digger strongly came back at him with not just tonight.

yep.....world may end.....
and gotlieb said...

coming into the game he thought cuse was the best team – now he thinks it is uk…

maybe the mayans are onto something with the 2012 thing

there will be a run on bottled water in Kentucky
Speaking of the Mayans

their calender is supposed to be the ending of one time and the beginning of the next. I think it is the time it would take for aliens to return to a planet 2500 years away and return. I just hope they are tall and can play basketball.

One of those aliens already got here

and his nae is Anthony Davis. His defensive technology dwarf that of humankind!

Hubert not Reece said it

Tar Heel Homer.

Hubert has been wearing thin

on Digger the past few weeks on the show. I’d day it’s Hubert’s last year there since Digger is too right for the show.

Wow

We are bad,,

There was nothing bout that game that wasn't fun.

Point. Blank. Period.

This an awesome display of great D
Did we beat them by more or less than Spurrier beat us in the football game?
54 in football 52 in bball
I want to play Syracuse
and we just might
No. 8 is close!
Hopefully not too close

I want to watch this team play more.

And Diggers's highlighter is still a match!

Go Big Blue!

First half was as close to perfect

MKG could have hit his FTs like he usually does, but everything else clicked.

I dont think you could play any better than they did that first half......

and the second half was pretty dang good too

Report from the JP

Called Mother and asked if she watched the game. She said what do you think we would be doing? Her view was “I really likes Davis. It is nice to seem him smile, but he needs to do something about that mouthpiece.” Mother also said, “It was so nice to see that nice Terrance Jones smile. Sometimes he just worries too much.”

About sums it up for me.

note

early session running long this will not begin before 9:30

Did Anybody Else Notice.......

Not one charge call ! Maybe Cal has gotten through with his message.

yes....

there was one drive early on that i thought for sure would be a charge – i think it was davis. but it was an and-1. i had the same thought – message sent, message received.

oh hi,

sorry, didn’t see your post. But, yes, I can’t recall exactly, but it seemed we managed to avert the dreaded charge call.

hey, longtime!

yes, I noticed. There was one time where I thought maybe, but it was not to be.

Hey Back

Were the girls in uniforms?

no.

sadly for them, but lucky for me, they were taking late naps and missed most of the game. Been kinda sick around our house. Kids are like petri dishes, no kidding.

Uniforms and pom-poms are at the ready for next game though!

No blarges either. Yea!
ok, color me an idiot.

what’s a blarge??

Double foul. block and a charge
Oh BSC.....you are far from home arent you??
fair question....

i had not heard of it either until a couple of weeks ago

It was called at LSU if I recall correctly.

Two refs simultaneously call a block and charge. By rule, a foul goes to both players.

aha!

well, that would explain it. I missed the LSU game entirely. Didn’t get to be privy to blarges or the hard foul everyone is talking about.

Thanks.

Kentucky charge (blarge) foul was on Teague if i member correctly
it's ok BSC.......

the truth is, according to Einstein, it’s almost a virtual impossibility that it could happen…..

Of course if an impossible call could be made against anyone, it would be us….

Physicists now believe

that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity may be wrong. If that is so, anything goes.

and AD is proof...

he defies physics

What was it Bugs Bunny used to say?

“I know that defies the law of gravity, but I never studied law”…..

You sure that wasn't Marvin the Martian?
you mena the little guy with the

XP-24 Space Modulator??

Yes, the rabbit made him angry, very angry indeed!
This guy

where's the XP-24 Space Modulator?!?!?!?!

LOL

let me spruce him up a little for you.....

It just isn't working without the modulator.
When I was in college

I didn’t defy physics, I usually just skipped it.

well, yes, of course

since, you know, the entire world is out to get us an all.

(you really are going to have to turn in that conspiracy hat one of these days, Greg. Really. : ))

Is that you physicist Sheldon?
Correct

It has to be one or the other. I hate the charge call as taught by Coach K.

Lexington's own Dermontti Dawson now Hall of Famer!!!! Go Big Blue!

Game Ball
I think Jones really came to play and sparked us ... they had no answer after Harris got his 3rd
can you repost with tabs?

seriously, the two complaints i bet we hear – where was MKG and Darius….they are NOT valid complaints but some people you cannot please

I tell you what.....

go ahead and look it all over here…..

was just messing with you....

i did not need tabs to know that MKG and Darius were in single digits.

i thought TJ had more than 1 block though.

Hard to imagine we scored as many in the 1H as SCAR did in the entire game!

I have to come your way in a couple weeks......headed to Paris to pick up some flooring to redo the house.....

wish I was going to get to come down and eat some good BBQ….

they have good BBQ all over west tn...

i know there is a place up that way – maybe be on this side of Paris but let me look it up. if you do get this way, let me know – i coach the daughter of the family that owns the Rendezvous so can set you up…

I promised Les Smith from over at Fox Memphis that I would look him up the next time I come down

If I can get it done, I will call you and we can all go have a laugh…..

I'm in...

just let me know…

My favorite in Memphis is

Interstate BBQ. I go to the one in an old Pizza Inn on Stateline. mmmmmm……

there is one in the airport if you ever have a lay over

i consider it one of the big three – however, there is a new one (10 years or so old) call Central that is pretty incredible. they literally came out of no where…

also liked Germantown Commisary, but, hell, haven’t really had much bad barbeque in Memphis. I like their style of sauce.

that one is good too

the smaller ones that no one has heard of are sometimes the best – one called Brad’s, another call Three Pigs…its a wonder i don’t have clogged arteries!

need a good installer ?? lol
I am getting the stuff that's idiot proof......

then I am going to let the wife tell me how to install it!!!

Anyone who claims something to be idiot proof,

underestimates the ingenuity of an idiot.

somewhere there is a village looking for their....
I will be sure and tell the guy that sold it to me.....lol
I think at the half we had 7 blocks and 5 steals
UK Defense Was Stellar

Offense was aided by many layups or dunks.

Anthony Davis is a pro right now. The best Cat in many a year.

Forty, I really wish I had gone down there....

I had a chance at tickets and passed them up, my boss gets them from Colonial Life….would have loved to catch you for a chat…..

More UK Fans or USC Fans at the Game?

What your thought?

I'd say 60-40 Carolina fans ... just a guess ... I was in the lower level and there was an awful lot of blue ...
Thats incredible...

i am jealous – don’t you go every year?

i only get ole miss every other year. Miss State is usually a week game and i have had to travel the last couple of times

Columbia is less than an hour from the house (I feel lucky) so most years I can get tickets and I go ... at the same time Ga is about 2 hours away
the

Big Blue chant sounded awfully large on tv.

Yeah, but they have some real good directional mikes that can focus in on a small area
Yeah, Mostly USC But More UK Than Ever

I sat in Row 12 at center court among empty USC season ticket holder seats.

just getting in ... I thought Davis had a chance at the triple double ... he only needed two boards and two blocks and Cal put him back in briefly
took him out after a spill on a foul of an SC player....no sense getting him hurt

he sat more of the second half than he played I believe

only played a total of 28 min
That is unbelievable.....
Yep ... Vargas got some good playing time in tonight ... If Vargas takes one of your defenders down the lane and dunks on him you know you are doing pretty bad
thought it was a no backboard lay in?
probably was ... it was a pretty move from where I was sitting ... same result
#1...been waiting all season for Eloy to score on a move to the hoop
yes -

i believe if he had gotten a quick block on that inbounds play and a quick rebound, he would have given him a chance. after the foul, he was done

Question .... we now face the toughest part of the season .... starting Tuesday - when Florida visits ... which team/venue will give us the toughest game???
at vandy #1

at fla #2

agree completely
for some reason Beal of florida scares me

but the veterans at vandy and memorial loom bigger

Benches under the basket along baseline. Freshman need to be coached
I think it is almost time

that we considered these guys to be honorary sophomores.

Ist year players are 1st year players
My point is that they

log so many minutes of play, they are at the level of experience of most sophomores.

Cal was happy that Wiltjer took 14 shots in such a short time ... he is benefitting from the extra play
Got your point. Visiting Coach huge disadvantage with bench under basket.
I've always hated that ... more on Teague to run the team - but I think he's up to it
great test for Teague
We had 17 assists to only 3 turnovers as a team tonight that's says a lot
Agree. IMO bench location, large hostile crowd and a pretty good team what makes Vandy
the toughest venue this year.
yes - glad it is deeper into the season
Florida, Vandy, Miss St away

all 3 of those will be tough. Depending on how we get through them……..looking good.

not sure what is wrong with Vandy - that game bothers me and MIssSt w/ Moultrie is looking pretty tough as well
This late in the season

and Vandy seems to still be looking for its offensive identity.

Don't know what's taking them so long.

I found them to be offensive several games ago.

Especially their coach.

When he was younger and still had hair

Yep,

looks like a young Stallings.

KSR makes fun of Vandy coach and Kevin from the Office Sitcom
watching the office on demand as we speak
so what do you think? Kevin for Kevin
yes...
Coach Stallings is such a baby when he talks about KY.

Fun to imagine him as Kevin from the office as he coaches :)

I love the way this schedule is playing out.

We now play the best teams, ideal for tuning up for the post season. I hope they find weaknesses and point them out to us. Of course it would be great if we win those games anyway.

I agree completely .. while I don;t want to see us lose ever ... this tough stretch will pay big dividends in March
Florida / Vandy away....toss-up
Awesome that we set a new season low for turnovers tonight .... with only 3 .... FOR THE GAME!!
KU 67 MO 63 4:30 2nd half
Mizzo ties the game...no wait takes the lead. Barn burner
KU shoot 2 FT's with 41 secs left
misses both
Mizzu misses 1st of 1 and 1. One point lead KU ball 17 secs left
hate that
KU charge turnover
Mizzu 2 shot foul shot 9 secs left
charge going to be a huge factor in close games this year during tourney time
Blarge all the way
Question: What is non-UK basketball fans favorite chant?

This?

Mizzu wins
I can see why Anderson

had such a hard time leaving there to coach at Arkansas, but it was now or never if he wanted to return to Arkansas. Great game.

Anderson is an alum. Wondered why he left, especially since they moved to SEC.
He was an assistant under Richardson

for years at Arkansas, even their National Championship year. The fans have been clamoring for him for years and many were disappointed when Pelphrey was hired instead of Anderson last time. At that time, Richardson hadn’t been gone long enough and a lawsuit from RIchardson was still pending against UA.

Yes! He is in Hog Heaven now...
