Austin Peay Governors at Kentucky Wildcats, Dec 19, 2009 4:00 PM EST
This is the official A Sea of Blue Open Game Thread for the Austin Peay Governors @ Kentucky Wildcats basketball game this afternoon at Rupp Arena. Game particulars are as follows:
Date & Time Sat., Dec. 19, 4:00 p.m
Coverage TV: CSS (coverage details) Radio: BBSN

Online Audio 
Online Video via ESPN360
Location Rupp Arena Lexington, Ky.
This is the first Kentucky game in a week, and Calipari made much the other day of the bad practice the 'Cats had on Friday. That is obviously a concern, so it will be interesting to see how the young Wildcats rebound from the criticism.
More after the jump.
What I hope to see from the Wildcats this game:
- Better ballhandling. I would love to see UK keep turnovers under 20%.
- Great ball movement. The last game against the Hoosiers, UK moved the ball extremely well. I'd like to see that continue.
- Domination on the offensive glass. UK is much bigger than this team, and needs to own the offensive boards.
- Improved defense. Last game, UK let Indiana shoot an eFG% of 54.2. That's no good.
What I don't want to see this game:
- A half-hearted effort against an inferior foe.
- A bunch of open 3-point looks for Austin Peay.
- A close battle for the offensive glass.
- Lots of lazy fouls.
UK has a ton of talent, and is far better in every way than Austin Peay. That doesn't mean the Governors cannot pull the upset -- they shoot the ball very well from the three, and we have had struggles with teams who do that all year long.
Sooner or later, the 'Cats have to improve their defense. I hope it is sooner. Now would be soon enough.

Does anyone have a link to any streaming video online?
I.e. Funchester, etc.? I’m in PA on my parents’ computer.
It's on ESPN 360 too...
Justin is close to real-time, ESPN is delayed a bit… Pick your poison!
I’m going with ESPN, bigger picture, better resolution…
If your wings don't sweep....
ugh
My son’s soccer tear- select, champions many times- used to play to the “level of their competition”. A terrible afflection. I would like a jack boot on the throat game today….just once.
All the kool Cat fans hang out here. :)
I'm not really a expert on anything but I'll give you my advice on everything.
AP shows no adrenaline... can't see their super bowl
call the fat lady
No matter where you're at, there you are
Is everybody else at the game today??? LOL
Feeling pretty lonely here…
If your wings don't sweep....
Bad coverage, win pretty much not in doubt, Christmas shopping...
That’s about it, i guess
No matter where you're at, there you are
I just reloaded IE...
Wasn’t seeing everyone else’s posts!! LOL Thought I was in here all by myself!!
If your wings don't sweep....
Have had it happen with both of 'em before...
Queertrons flowing through my machine today!! LOL
If your wings don't sweep....
Liggins ...
… has got to stop going under that screen.
I wish our defense was better. But I do like the offense so far.

Just got here
At a bar in Raleigh nc where they have 360 computer hooked up to their tv. Liggins! Any word on where he’s been?

Miller had the same shot on the previous OOB play... Didn't take the first one???
If your wings don't sweep....
Love what Miller is doing defensively.
Not so much Dodson.
Wall needs to get tougher on D. He’s just way too soft to be as skilled as he is.

Liggins back
in. I think Cal is going to use these games to see what he can get out of Stephens, Liggins, and others
You can't fix "stupid"!

FIOS is acting up
I’m in MD about a half hour south of DC
Wow, so much for this team's inability to shoot
Not just in today’s game

Yeah, all of were sweating that over the summer...
Austin Peay 45% FG & 20% 3FG. I thought that they had shot the 3 ball better than that… Must have been early in the half.
If your wings don't sweep....
Coming off the Gametracker stats...
May be a bit of a fudge factor in there, it’s not 100% all the time.
If your wings don't sweep....
I'm here, honey. I'm always here : )
ha ha…UKlvrJM — going shopping as soon as the final buzzer sounds, as a matter of fact. : )

Apparently there is a curse on UK when it comes to "lower level" teams
I just dont understand how they can not play D with no urgency.
Amen to that
I am not even sure you can take a “learn” from this one
No matter where you're at, there you are
Defense much better in the last five minutes.

Well.
I am apparently to be denied my hopes for a good defensive game.
Sigh. :-(
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
Kind of a backslider type of game
Ball movement has been pretty crisp most of the game, D not so good…
If your wings don't sweep....
Perhaps the worst game this year
not being negative. just sayin
No matter where you're at, there you are
The real question is
how does JW have the vision to see that as it’s happening?? :-)
If your wings don't sweep....
guess i got here just in time..
only one rule in my house - uk has to be your favorite college bball team

Lovin' it!!
It is not worth an intelligent man’s time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that.

Where Was The Intensity Early?

I'm glad you said it so I didn't have to!
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
Held AP
to 37.5% FG and 33.3% 3PG… Sure didn’t look that way, ya know??
If your wings don't sweep....
Yeah, they might finally
get the year’s FT% higher than the women’s team!!
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!
ESPN
box score in case anyone is curious. I can’t believe we were perfect from the line (ha, I see you just posted the same thing, cincy : )). So cool.
Well, now I’m off to shop, shop, shop. How is all of you boys’ shopping coming along? ; )
Monday
I’m wearing my colors to work on Monday. WKU went down and the Card fan where I work will be spinning the blow-out (98-72 with 32min left) but the race to 2000 will dominate the day!!
Cal's postgame...
Making veiled references to what Knight has been saying!! LOL
