Kentucky Wildcats at Tennessee Volunteers, Jan 13, 2009 9:00 PM EST
This is the official A Sea of Blue open game thread for the Kentucky Wildcats @ Tennessee Volunteers basketball game tonight at Thompson-Bowling Arena, Tuesday, January 13th @ 9:00 PM.
Particulars of this game are as follows:
- TV: Live on ESPN
- Gametracker live stats

- Radio
- Yahoo! audio
- Game preview
This is the first game of a three-game road trip for Kentucky, and is a critical stretch in the SEC season. In order to get back into the national picture instead of hovering on the verge of it, UK needs to come up with victories on all three of these games. It is an especially tall order for the 'Cats to win tonight in Knoxville, but UK has very few quality wins and badly needs some.
Tennessee has played an extremely tough schedule this year, and has quality wins over highly ranked Georgetown and Marquette, as well as tough losses to Kansas on the road and twice to Gonzaga, once at home and once at a neutral site. The Vols are currently teetering on the verge of falling out of the top 25, and Kentucky could use the momentum from a victory here to get itself in.
Things Kentucky needs to do well to win:
- Force the Vols to play defense for most of the shot clock. Patience is the key to beating the Volunteers, as they play good half-court defense only for about 20 seconds.
- Get the ball to Patterson early and often.
- Handle the press.
Things that will make it hard for Kentucky to win:
- Get behind big early. We have had trouble every time this has happened.
- Turn the ball over. Tennessee is one of the best in the nation going from defense to offense.
- Allow Tennessee to get a lot of offensive rebounds. Offensive rebounds are the key to Tennessee's offensive efficiency.
Tennessee is very similar to Louisville except they are slightly less talented overall and are much less effective on defense. If Kentucky can correct the mistakes they made against Louisville, they can take the Volunteers tonight. The Vols are talented, but they suffer from poor decision making and a general lack of team chemistry.
This is a big opportunity game, much like Miami earlier in the season. We need this game.
Go, Cats!

Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

My problem with Galloway tonight is the haphazard way he’s handkling the ball. He has to understand he’s not at Southern Idaho.

Run to set up the pass – pass to set up the run.
They will be so gun shy of meeks that we just drive and feed the post or just feed the post.
when they fall back, meeks will light it up again.
I like this style right now. I liked that half of ball. The last 1:45 got a little crazy but that happens.

Put backs
UT has far far too many put backs. Hopefully we can pull away in the second half but a close game can be attributed directly to those second chances UT has gotten.
I hope that any increased attention Jodie receives in the second half can free up Pat.

It's called the Gillispie Effect.
The unknown black hole that sometimes absorbs his players without a peep.
Josh Harrellson also seems to be caught in it, as well as Ramon Harris’ third foul.

patterson's injust

I think the keys to the 2nd half is the o-rebounding.
we’re playing excellent D and just not getting the rebound, thereby undermining the efforts.
I’m happy with the ball-handling but the frosh seem to be rattled in the environment

Ug - the turnover spread is sort of weird too
Patterson: 2
Miller: 2
Galloway: 2
Harris: 1
Porter: 0
Meeks: 0
Liggins: 0 (DNP)
Only 3 assists to 7 turnovers. I’ll take 7 turnovers, but 3 assists?

Last year we were one dimensional and right now we’re coming around to a pure team. I still think to make a run we need to have an inside out game, not vice versa… but go Cats..

Congratulations to Jodie Meeks
While my heartfelt congratulations go out to the outstanding performance of Jodie Meeks (which was truly awe inspiring!!), does anybody feel a tinge of sadness when a venerable old record (especially one belonging to the “Horse” Dan Issel) falls? Don’t get me wrong, I wanted Jodie to pop a couple at the end to make it 60 (are UK fans every really satisfied?), but it is kinda sad when some of the old names like Issel, Hagan, Givens stop being at the top of the record books. But WOW! I am pretty pumped about his performance….glad I didn’t go to bed at the half like I had planned!!
by cpacat on Jan 14, 2009 8:43 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
I wanted him to shoot at the end to make the lead 20!
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Keep in mind ...
… that Issel did it without a 3-point line. That puts it in a much better perspective.
Although to be fair to Jodie, Issel wasn’t a big long-range shooter back in the day, although he did become pretty good at it in the NBA.
