Kentucky game thread

Team picking it up. TT is providing a spark. Nice job.

 

[jim34238]

If Powell (89%) hit some of his free throws, we would be winning.

 

[JIMSOULS]

The TT show!!!

 

[NYC Pirate]

Much better. If Powell can get on track.

Let’s Win this Damm Game!

 

[catholicman]

Lots of blown calls. Really head scratching. Favoring Kentucky big time.

 

[jim34238]

Powell is killing us. If he was having a halfway decent game we would be killing them. He can't outplay a good defender.

 

[SHUMA04]

SHU up 43-41!

On 11-3 run .

I'm sure Travis has about 8 fouls already. Got to get him out somehow . He's been the inside champion for Kentucky this game .

Thompson is smooth in complete command when he makes an offensive move to the hoop. I love that aspect of his game. He's playing well so far.

 

[JIMSOULS]

Elsewhere: DePaul was up 14 on Northwestern, 55-41, with 10 minutes to go. Northwestern has since went on a 20-2 run to take a 61-57 lead. Same old, same old.

That wasn't a travel!

 

[JIMSOULS]

Officiating has been fine.

 

[flconticello]

Cale has looked good on his drives but HAS to learn to finish.

Travis gets away with another one and instead Nzei picks up his 4th

Come on, that was a foul.

 

[MTOleBlue]

Keep it up. No dumb mistakes late. Rhoden needs to stop tackling people... like why??

 

[Jerry1992]

Let’s finish strong today. Go pirates!!

 

[NYC Pirate]

Very hard to win missing these open shots.

I’d feed Thompson inside

 

[jim34238]

We are playing terrific defense and TT is showing what he is capable of, even on D. Come on MP!

 

[SHUMA04]

Come on, that was a foul.

That was a foul but it came after a push off

Credit Calipari anyway. His team isn't shooting well and he's realized his team is much more physical.

 

[JIMSOULS]

One thing that should be evident to all: Willard has become an excellent game coach. Players might miss shots and not execute here and there, but preparation and strategy are first-rate. The team plays hard for him.

 

[Stevie_H]

Yikes... the TOs.

 

[TheBluePirate]

Ugh. FOX on Sirius dropped the live broadcast and I am stuck with talking yuck heads! Grrrrrrr

 

[SHUMA04]

Mamu fouls out .

Going to be tough to pull things out without him on the inside .

 

[MTOleBlue]

Bad turnovers...

 

[Mrpiratee]

That steal was a killer mental mistake

 

[sami]

Just gassed

 

[NYC Pirate]

Very difficult. Not getting stops in the paint.

 

[catholicman]

Can we play with any poise?

 

[MTOleBlue]

If we are gonna win, we will need Powell to hit 3s.

 

[JIMSOULS]

Just gassed

Recurring theme.

 

[SHUMA04]

I had a feeling our media office jinxed us with all the hype around TO differential!

(Disclaimer: this is toungue in cheek)

 

[MTOleBlue]

All things considered we are playing better than I thought we would. But a win would be so huge!

 

[Stevie_H]

We just executed a great ATO play. I fainted.

 

[lloyde dobler]

They generally play well, but don’t score well. Unfortunately that second part is kind of important.

 

[Mrpiratee]

See ya Travis...

 

[MTOleBlue]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME REF???

 

[NYC Pirate]

Did McKnight just fall? Could not see?

 

[Jerry1992]

Hard to tell if he stepped on refs foot. Very close but I think he just fell. Williard reaction was classic.
