This is the official A Sea of Blue Open Game Thread for the Sam Houston St. Bearkats @ Kentucky Wildcats in this first round game of the Cancun Challenge tournament.
I have decided to merge the pre-game and Open Game Threads into one for this game, because there is so little real data available on the Bearkats. First, the game particulars, courtesy of UKAthletics.com:

Bearkat fact sheet:
-
Head Coach Bob Marlin
-
Record at School 202-123 (12th season)
-
2009 Record 2-0, 0-0 Southland Conference
-
Ranking Not ranked
-
Series Record First meeting
- Returning starters: 3
- Returning players: 8
Analysis:
- Primary orientation: Perimeter -- The Bearkats are a good perimeter shooting team, shooting 35% as a team against Texas College. Against LeTourneu, they didn't shoot it well, managing only 22.5%, but don't let that fool you. Corey Allmond, Lance Pevehouse, and Drae Murray will all put it up, and can make them. Pevehouse has shot the ball poorly from three this year, but it isn't from a lack of trying
- Defensive orientation: Primarily zone/matchup zone -- You know the zone will give the DDM at this early juncture fits. We can expect more of that frustration tonight. They will pressure our perimeter players at first but may start sagging if UK gets to the rim a lot.
- Tempo: Medium -- Sam Houston State is not a slow-it-down team. They like to run, as evidenced by their 82 points per game average, but they don't run constantly.
Sam Houston State's biggest starter is 6'7", and their biggest reserve is 6'9", so they are giving up considerable size to the Wildcats. Their back court is small, but very quick, and UK will have some difficulty with SHS's quickness in this game.
I expect to see Calipari try hard to put this team away early, but you never know for sure. I expect SHS to hang in with Kentucky a while, as UK has yet to show the team cohesiveness and chemistry to get up big early. Coach Marlin will be encouraging his team to run back on defense, and UK will probably not be able to get too much off the break, much as we saw against Miami. What that will mean, though, is the combination of zone and protecting against the break will allow UK many offensive rebounding opportunities in this game, much as in the last game.
Will we have another Nick Winbush-like performance tonight? I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Predicted score: Kentucky 78, Sam Houston State, 60.

Question answered
My guide doesn’t show that the game is on, but if Tru says its on FS South, then I’m sure that the listed NHL Hockey will be pre-empted.
Thanks for the heads up Tru!
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."

Had a bad experience with FS South last game...
Gonna check FS South, but I’ve got NHL hockey listed on my guide too… JIC, got ESPN360 dialed up as a backup! LOL
If your wings don't sweep....
On DirecTV
I think they had Hockey on FS South for me as well, but they showed the Cats on one of the other FS alternate channels.
We'll see...
I’m much more prepared tonight, missed the first half last week and was some kind of P.O.’d!
If your wings don't sweep....
No video on ATDHE.net
Weird…usually if the game is on FSN South, it’s on there. Maybe it will show up closer to the game. I could go to school where ESPN360 is free, but I’m warm and comfortable at home. Worst case scenario, I’ll keep the GameTracker up and watch Cal-’Cuse.
Well,
I’ll only be able to catch the first hour of the game tonight as my daughter’s pre-school is having a Barn Dance (don’t laugh). I will of course try to check the score on my phone, and yes, I’m perfectly aware that that will most likely take me out of the running for mother of the year, but oh well, I’m sure tenken could use some company. (Kidding, of course. Just poking a little fun at whoever that was the other day that had the nerve to question tenken’s parenting skills. Silly, silly, man……. : ))
Go ‘Cats!!
Oh, and if ya’ll are having trouble getting the game, I know that it is on ESPN Full Court. You have to pay, of course, but if you are willing that is an option.
Barn dance??
Is that a dance in the barn, on the barn, around the barn?? :-p
If your wings don't sweep....
We are here today to witness the next step in the evolution of the UK program
we will make less mistakes….more assists and more points. We will nail 3’s…block shots, hit lobs, and generally overwhelm our opponent. We will defend the 3….control the paint….and leave our opponents……..exasperated from the experience.
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
LOL
I’d just thought of that! How were you wearing it when Wall hit the last shot??
If your wings don't sweep....
normal.....A2 got on me for wearing it backwards during the back and forth part of the 2nd half
Remember, we're having fun now!!!

No Defense
Players are backing off and giving the opponent confidence…..and a couple of moving picks have helped a little but I have never seen such bad 3-point D
Every other aspect of the game is awesome though which bodes well for the team…would like to see Pat play some outside D….Is he ill? Looks a little down
OK, let's get serious about switching.
With the size of our “little” guys versus their “big” guys, what’s the difference?
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!
Teams build confidence if you let them do it
That double-clutch 3 was crazy, but pretty much every other 3 they’ve hit has been on a good look. Long shots, yes, but good looks. You can’t give them that much room to shoot.
The halfcourt D on 3s got better as the half went on, but the transition D has been dreadful. Wide open 3s in transition every single time for them.

Thing is, I am not sure if there is a way to coach guarding shooters out that far.....
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
I have an idea.
let’s double team their two best shooters, leave Cousins to guard the basket, and hope for the best. At least they won’t beat us with the three.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
Maybe.
If they keep doing what they’re doing, anything is possible. :-)
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
I have another idea. Let's keep playing them the way we are and we win by a nice margin,
and this freakin’ nightmare is over!!!! Just kidding, just kidding. A month’s retirement pay says those guys couldn’t hit that many from that far away in practice!!!
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!
is there a link for that?

D Fundamentals
Stay up on your man in your stance on your toes not back peddling in his grill and hands up in the face if he shoots. fight over top of screeens and force ref to make the call if the pick is not clean…..

SHS has six points that were not 3s.

We are. By 11.
I guess this is just one of those things.

12 out of 21

There starters are 0-6
from 3 pt range and have only scored 7 points. This is all coming from their bench.
Don't Worry...Be Happy!!!
We’re a young team…probably most of practice is concentraing on the DDMO….EARLY in the season…..playing teams with no pressure on them….and we’re ahead. Do you really think Roy Williams will let NC take the majority of their shots from 3?
Jinx
Right when I post that…they drill another 3.

I don’t care if they make 50 threes at this point. It looks to me like they will make every one the shoot that is even close to open.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its that damn Whitaker Bank shot commercial!!!!!!!!

Well.......when they take it in it is most always blocked
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Kentucky
says……….you want to hit some threes?…………….OK
Kentucky bretheren united once again! Thanks Cal!
Too much hotdogging on the fastbreaks
Make the simple plays…these guys will not be able to stop them.
I barely care about what goes on at our side of the court at this point.
I’m only looking for how our defense plays at this point. I want to see the intensity and the communication pick up 10-fold.
We have fixed one thing for tonight......turnovers are non-existant
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
For the whole game, sure
But with 16 minutes to go, that’s too many turnovers.

But again with a terrible showboating turnover in transition. Make the SIMPLE play and forget about getting on SportsCenter.
I dont think these kids see that as showboating....it is how they learned to play

I ...
… am speechless. That last three was at least 24 feet.

Is he the most negative person in the world? Sorry you couldn’t cut it as a coach… but man is he always negative about UK.. maybe it’s just me
i understand what you are saying
but i think it is not negative, even though it sometimes feels that way. I think he is always analyzing and one of the things that has reassured me about the talent of this team is that I think he has come closer to gushing about this team than any I have ever recalled.

So that proves that "this team will play to its competition" ?

You said that they would, and I asked how you knew that.

he doesn't "know" that
Just like you don’t “know” we would not beat UNC or UConn right now. Everyone is just speculating, no big deal

I smell an upset. I KNOW IT.

Call me nuts, call me a lunatic, but I can see it in them every time they
play…they have a will to win…..and they respond to the Coach……all these 3’s look bad, but most of them were NBA or further 3’s…..no one guards those well
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Now THIS is something they will have to address.....sloughing off late in a game
is no way to play ball….
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
I dont think so either
but we might by the time we play them
I agree.
If we give up 90 to these guys, I can’t imagine how much UConn will score on us.

Behind the bench...
Any chance thats Chris Moneymaker of WSOP fame? Got the crazy glasses and everything..
Turnovers...unbelievable
Hard to believe how sloppy these guys have been down the stretch.
They improved a bit... Better from the 3-line
Still need to work on defensing the 3, playing under control, etc
Bottom line, it’s a W!
If your wings don't sweep....
yes they were
especially on the offensive end. Much less of bledsoe and wall driving into 3 opposing players and losing the ball. They offense ran roughly the way it is supposed to, whereas in the miami game we were lucky to score as much as we did
Fun watching with you all tonight
Let’s do this again sometime huh :)
JXClaytor on the 360
Great game-
We appear to be comming together as a unit, but why can’t we defend the three any better? And, still way too many turnovers!!
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
Ok
TRU…….been waiting for the postmortem . I have lots to talk about :)
Kentucky bretheren united once again! Thanks Cal!
