Cal's return to Rupp in the visitors lockerroom is tonight!
KY comes in as a 9.5 point favorite.
KY will have to play like they have been. Rebound the ball, cut back on the turnovers. Focus on their game!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:07 PM:
I see Cal started a lot of his boys that played at Rupp last year!

Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 09:26 PM:
Already 5 turnovers. If we get up to 15 turnovers again we will lose this game. Only way we lose is turnovers and if Arkansas gets alot of 2nd chance points.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:27 PM:
Robinson is KY's leading scorer with 8

RObinson for three
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:39 PM:
RObinson gets hammered at teh basket no call!
I guess the refs are welcoming Cal back to Rupp!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 09:40 PM:
I guess Robinson didn't get hit on the arm???
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 09:41 PM:
Finally a call. They do know Cals the visiting coach, right?
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:41 PM:
Oweh scores and gets fouled!
his FT is no good
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:42 PM:
Williams with drive and slam Big Z fouls him
the FT is no good land violation
his next try is good
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 09:43 PM:
Arkansas makes 7 threes a game. They already have 6. Of course.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:44 PM:
Williams scores and gets fouled again
the FT is no good

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:46 PM:
KY trails 40-39 with 2:55 to play in the half
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 09:47 PM:
The turnovers are killing us.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:48 PM:

Ark shooting ball better tonight than they have all season!

KY trails at half 46-45 Ark hit 9 three pointers in that half!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 09:55 PM:
KY's 4-8 from the FT line!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 09:55 PM:
How the heck do they make 9 threes, and shoot 18 of them? How does that even happen. Arkansas hasn't played anywhere close to this all freaking year.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:04 PM:
Robinson is KY's leading scorer with 12
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:05 PM:
KY shooting over 58% from the floor and still trailing. How does that happen!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:09 PM:
A big part is the 8 tos, and 50% from the FT line. Cal has to be thrilled. I'm sure he thought if we scored 45 points that theyd be down 10, not up 1. We have to pull this game out.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:09 PM:
I would say lack of defense is killing them.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:12 PM:
Another KY turnover
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:12 PM:
Robinson passes up alot of open layups. And another turnover. My gosh!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:13 PM:
How do we not know they are running that first play. Cal has done that play the last 15 yrs.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:14 PM:
Not a good start at all.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:14 PM:
We haven't scored a point this half so far!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:15 PM:
Williams for two
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:15 PM:
KY trails by 8
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:16 PM:
We left our defense in the locker room at the half!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:17 PM:
Well, I'll give Cal credit. They are letting Williams go 1 on 1 and get all he wants. It is keeping us from getting 3s.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:17 PM:
Ark is 10-20 from three point land!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:18 PM:
KY has 7 assists and 10 turnovers!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:19 PM:
Ark is 3-5 from the floor this half!
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:19 PM:
Cal is just isolating the matchups. Thiero and Wagner have the one on one advantage. Wagner is applying ball pressure on the defensive end and disrupting the UK offense.
Williams is UK’s advantage.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:20 PM:
If you just stick to all our cutters and force the big to score, then you got a good chance of beating us. Ark has to cool off at some point. And we can't count on Williams going 1 on 1.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:20 PM:
KY's only hit 1 shot this half so far!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:21 PM:
Almonor hits a three and gets fouled!
media timeout KY trails 58-50
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:22 PM:
I'm telling you. Ark gameplan is to have williams take 15 or more shots. They're going to stick to all other players and let him just go.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:23 PM:
Tubby Smith is at this evenings game! He was the celebrity "Y" in spelling of KY!
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:24 PM:
I am saying UK should rely on Williams…just pointing out that he is the only advantage that UK has on the court.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:25 PM:
Almonor hits the FT
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:25 PM:
And Arkansas may not cool off. They are wide open. Everyone knows if left open that Big Z can shoot and UK’s bigs are leaving him wide open.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:25 PM:
I get it too. It's just making us take more 2s than we usually would. It's not a bad idea.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:26 PM:
Robinson drives and gets fouled after teh basket
the FT is good
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:26 PM:
That's what I like to see. I've been wanting Robinson to drive all the way more. Great finish.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:27 PM:
Carr called for foul
Theiro allowed to drive over top of his defender and draw a foul!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:28 PM:
Oweh drives and slams it home
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:29 PM:
KY trails by 11 and Ark playing out of their minds from the floor!
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:30 PM:
I don’t understand why Chandler is in the game. Same with Carr….Carr is clearly not moving well.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:30 PM:
Cal has discovered that having experienced players on his team makes a difference.
Most of his scoring coming from players who have more than 1 year playing for him!
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:32 PM:
I would much rather see Noah in the game than Chandler.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:32 PM:
KY being outscored 21-11 in this half!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:33 PM:
KY 4-12 from field this half!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:35 PM:
Williams to line for two shots and KY will get ball also!
he goes 2-2
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:36 PM:
Chandler draws an offensive foul!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:36 PM:
I would like to see Noah too. But good D by Chandler there.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:37 PM:
Williams scores
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:38 PM:
Wagner with 10 in this half!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:39 PM:
69-60 KY trails with 10:54 to play
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:39 PM:
UK has no one that can stay in front of Wagner or Thiero.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:40 PM:
KY now shooting under 50% from the floor!
Only hit 8-17 from three while Ark has hit 12-22 from three!
They probably won't shoot that well from three the rest of the season!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:40 PM:
Nope. On ball defense has been an issue for this team. And our help defense isn't good. Slow rotations.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:41 PM:
KY's hit 5-16 from the floor this half!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:42 PM:
Im just in shock that Ark is hooting 55% from 3. They're shooting 32% on the season. The former Cats are taking it to us.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:44 PM:
We have no scoring in the game right now, other than Williams.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 10:45 PM:
Are Brea and Noah hurt? I just don’t understand why Chandler has played nearly the entire second half.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:46 PM:
I was wondering the same thing.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:47 PM:
That sure shoukd have been a foul on Thiero though.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:47 PM:
Williams at line for 1+1
he goes 1-2
KY's 0-6 in their recent shooting!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:48 PM:
Williams for two
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:49 PM:
We need someone to stop the drive. We're terrible on the ball. Maybe try some zone.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:49 PM:
Robinson for two
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:49 PM:
defense!!!!!!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:50 PM:
Robinson for three
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:50 PM:
Thiero back to the FT line where he hasn't missed tonight he's 8-8
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:50 PM:
Thiero was really the one guy I wanted to stay. I sure wish we had him.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:51 PM:
All 5 Ark starters are in double figures!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:52 PM:
We need someone to step and join Robinson and Williams in the scoring. And we really need everyone to step up on the defensive end. We have to keep them from driving in to the lane.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:53 PM:
I agree. He was the last one to announce he was leaving too!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:54 PM:
Garrison with the slam!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:55 PM:
Are you kidding me!!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:56 PM:
Another front court turnover leads to a runout! We're down 11
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:56 PM:
Brea with terrible play. Lazy pass and then forces a shot
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:56 PM:
Almonor for three
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:56 PM:
We have to get stops
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 10:57 PM:
Where was the freaking foul on that??
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:58 PM:
As Cal always says
We were his SUPER BOWL tonight!
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 10:59 PM:
KY trails by 10 with 4:09 to play Cal uses a timeout!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:00 PM:
We just don't have the defense to win close games. We give up easy drives way to much.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 11:01 PM:
KY just hasn't gotten any stops in the second half!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:01 PM:
Our only hope is they just start missing shots and we hit some 3s. But I'm sure they're going to keep driving the ball and force fouls.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 11:01 PM:
Looks like Cal is going to get the victory.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 11:02 PM:
Ark now shooting 55% from the floor! KY is shooting 46% from the floor!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:02 PM:
And we'll keep seeing the Circle play from them. They'll run the clock down to 5 seconds and then take a shot.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 11:03 PM:
Cal is going to continue to isolate DJ and Thiero. They are just better isolation players then anyone on UK’s roster.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 11:03 PM:
Chandler to line for 1+1
he goes 0-1
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:03 PM:
I still can't figure out why Chandler is playing so much. Hope he shows me why. Guess not. Promptly misses the 1 and 1.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:04 PM:
60% on free throws.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 11:05 PM:
KY's 12th turnover!
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:05 PM:
Why is Chandler in the game right now??? I don't understand what Pope is doing.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 11:05 PM:
I just don’t understand all the minutes for Chandler tonight.
Posted by ukman (Member # 3032) on 02-01-2025, 11:06 PM:
I'm done.
Posted by ProBlue (Member # 2944) on 02-01-2025, 11:09 PM:
Big win over Tn.away Tuesday and Trap game tonight.
Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 02-01-2025, 11:10 PM:
It was Cal's Super Bowl! His players played for the super bowl tonight! Cal's words not mine!
Posted by ProBlue (Member # 2944) on 02-01-2025, 11:17 PM:
Big win over Tn.away Tuesday and Trap game tonight.
Posted by Trey Ball (Member # 332) on 02-01-2025, 11:35 PM:
At least I made some money tonight…I took Arkansas and the points. Thought UK would win a close one, so I didn’t see a loss.
UK is 6-6 against the Power 5 conferences this year and 7-6 if you include Gonzaga.
They have proven they can beat some good teams, but also take double digit losses to average teams.
The inability to start on offense against physical guards is the main issue on offense and on the defensive end the guards are not good on ball defenders. Butler can be good at times, but he is not a lock down type of guy though..

Turnovers and 50% from FT line doomed us. If we are better in just those 2 areas we win the game. Even if they still shoot lights out we win a close one. Those are 2 things totally in your control and we ahoukd be better.
