Lamar at Kentucky: Open Game Thread

Lamar is very even with UK with the big difference in the turnover category. Obviously turnovers are UK’s kryptonite. I feel UK should win this game because we are UK at home against Lamar. UK should always win this game…right? I worry aboout UK being a tad complacent against this team and suffer the consequences by being careless with the ball. I also worry that Lamar will rain down threes as all smaller schools seemingly do at Rupp. Lamar will play all out and UK usually starts very slow. I expect by halftime UK will take control of the game and win by double digits even if they have a second half lull.

I would like to see a drastic reduction in TO’s as well as shooting a higher perecentage from three point range. That would be a welcome change from the usual UK offense.

wow

Is Dish Network f**king serious?? Are they seriously not going to have this game on in Lexington??? For some reason we get Fox Sports Cincinnati in Lex (who the f**k cares about Cincinnati sports, seriously?) No FSN South or FSN Ohio and the game is not on FSN Cinci. There is usually an alternate feed, but guess what game is on there.. UNC-ASHVILLE vs TENNESSEE??!?!? Both that game and the UK game are listed on ESPN Full Court channels, but somehow Tennessee gets their game on for free in Lexington and UK doesn’t???

WTF?!?!?

From the top of the key?

OK!

but I love the fact Stevenson looked to shoot.

is that right?

4 Perry

I hear nothing from the crowd

can’t make 3 and plays this kind of defense, UK in a rout

nice so far…been some work done in practice I see

very strange

…

Hope Porter and Harris are alright….ouch, that hurts!

Harris down still, Porter in locker room getting stitches likely.

hopefully just a concussion

…for Ramon.

Kevin

…Patterson is getting beat on the boards. That’s a glaring negative on the defensive end so far

… Doing some nice things so far.

nice pass and I like his handle. Did not like the defense a moment ago.

…it’s his biggest strength

Liggins to Patterson…Outstanding!

We need some spunk like that in my opinion. Just need to keep it under control.

You’re going to have to guard Harrellson. Stop making it so easy.

Sincerely,

BBallSophist

we need games like this

Did they butt heads going after a loose ball?

…but I’m trying to find some negatives to discuss. Lamar has 7 offensive rebounds. Patterson has 1 rebound, total.

and sends one to Rejection City

hustles.

3-5 from the floor for 7 points.

Has everyone with Lamar lost their mind?

What a dumb play.

with a huge bandage on his forhead.

Darius and liggins both guarding the same guy and not guarding him, haha

kudos to them

I just called Dish Network and cancelled all my movie channels ($30/month) and added their MultiSports package ($5.99/month), which includes 14 Fox Sports channels, all Comcast SportsNet channels, BigTen, NBA, and a bunch of other channels (32 channels in all)

BEST MONEY I EVER SAVED, AND NOW I GET ALL THE FSN SOUTH GAMES!! :D

… If Forty still thinks Harrellson can’t play in the SEC? :-)

Just kidding

10 minutes without a turnover!

better 3pt shooting – 67% sweet
and
drastic improvement on TO’s – not sure the number but low

Why do you need all those movies this time of the year :-)

… Pass by Stewart

rebounding.

we will have news on Ramon

… To a great half of basketball by the ’Cats.

MIA after the Harris/Porter incident. He only played seven minutes.

Anyone keeping count?

…huge improvement, regardless of the opposing team

the Cats showed great focus, especially with the injury situation. Really playing good defense with just a few breakdowns. Also moving the ball much better on the offensive end. Of course, the competition is much easier which helps.

…and only 1 turnover

time 2 use them if u can, plz

Forty…. that thought Harellson couldn’t play…

keep om talking Forty, you da’ man..!!!

They didn’t show the fall to the ground. It almost looked as if he was seizing. The way his fingers and hands were curling.

I think I see why Billy was high on this young man… The kid can play, and he really hustles out there…

Any thoughts..?

WOW… that is remarkable…

… compliment each other nicely when they are in together…

makes a solid appearance in the first half.

sounds like he suffered a “stinger”

Mr. Liggins

Patterson on the bench to start the half..???

Looks like he has lost his confidence.

if this has already been mentioned, but…..they just said on TV that Harris is alert and has the use of all of his extremities………

Good news, right??

from first to second half

…and it was striking how different the officiating was from all of our games. They let them play last night. It’d be nice to have that for once…

the Nazr/Magloire days

They are turning it up bigtime

and an AWESOME play by Liggins on transition after stealing the ball. He’s showing some maturity. Earlier this year he would’ve over penetrated or tried to force a long pass into the post.

Liggins showing that he CAN hit a jumper!

… Become a three point threat???

This team is coming together in an awesome way.

Back to back baskets.

…but his defense needs some work.

for Galloway

of potential with this team. It’s all about the “Jekyll and Hyde” show we’ve seen the past few years. If they can be consistent, they can win in buckets.

We have many very good players…I am jumping up and down with my 2 cats watching…they think I am nuts ;-)

…and Galloway has had to guard him a lot. That might be why he’s looked iffy on D

If this becomes the rule instead of the exception, we will be scary good.

For the walkons

We need some spunk like that in my opinion. Just need to keep it under control.

… So the post mortem will be a little late.

I was surprised to find Miami ranked this year. I watched some of their game against OSU last night and was impressed.

when was the last time we could say that?

Liggins was awesome.

Now lets carry it over to Saturday

Love the guy

Man, that crowd is no where near the UK vs State crowd… lol

We know who brings in the fans baby..!!!

Liggins,Liggins,Liggins. He got game!!
