Long Beach St. 49ers at Kentucky Wildcats, Dec 23, 2009 1:00 PM EST
This is the official A Sea of Blue Open Game Thread for the Long Beach St. 49ers @ Kentucky Wildcats basketball game today at 1:00 PM EST. Particulars are as follows:
Date & Time Weds., Dec. 23, 1:00 p.m
Coverage TV: FS South (coverage details) Radio: BBSN
GameTracker 
Online Audio 
Online Video via ESPN360
Location Rupp Arena, Lexington, Ky.
This is the last game for the Kentucky Wildcats before the Christmas break, and it is the best team they have faced in a while. The 49ers are no pushover, and even though the Wildcats should be able to overcome them easily, especially at home, this is exactly the kind of team you don't want to take for granted.
More after the jump.
What I hope to see today from Kentucky:
- Continued great offensive rebounding;
- Sharing the basketball;
- Take the ball to the basket more and get fouled;
- Another game of high defensive intensity.
What I don't want to see:
- Lazy passes and turnovers;
- Matador defense;
- Failure to get the ball into the paint;
- Giving up more than 20% offensive rebounds.
This team needs to continue their preparation for more serious foes, and this is a really good game to do that. Defensive intensity is the key to all the above. If we see great defensive intensity, it will lead to offense, with will get the 'Cats running and confident. The snowball effect from that will be very beneficial.
Go, 'Cats!

they need to wake up a little
we’re slowly coming alive but we need another blitzkrieg. put this game away early. and i’m glad Liggins is becoming the player that we need him to be.
Watching on ESPN360 at work
Ordinarily not in the open game threads, but I guess I’m here for the duration.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
would like to see the crowd generate some energy
i might be waiting awhile…:)

Two fouls-
On Wall and two on big Cuz. Not a great start…

These guys did not come ready to play, and they’re in for a tussle.

So far, not so good.
2 on Cousins and Wall, and we’re losing to boot. No offense today.

This is the type of game Patterson needs to take over. Just demand the ball and dominate.

Nice start for that…

I would love to partake, but I’m afraid the rest of the day’d be shot for me. Got cooking and cleaning to do! If the second half goes like the first, I may have to say the hell with it, though

Video Feed
The picture is not the best, but for those wanting to watch the game, you get an idea of what is going on here http://www.justin.tv/mfletcher80 Though. this was not a pretty half by far!!!
Watching the plight of the white American basketball player on ESPN360 now...
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Its an Outside the Lines segment
They are using Kyle McAlarny as their focal subject.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
OMG.
They play this at the half everytime (I’m watching on ESPN Full Court) and I think I’m going to scream. This is like the 3rd time I’ve seen this. Sorry, but McAlarney really isn’t that good anyway and to have a special with him as the headliner?
Ft Wayne Mad Ants
“Mad Ants”???
Seriously?
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
I remember a few years ago Jason Kapono saying....
that if his last name was Kaponovich and he was from europe he would have been a top 10 pick….lol

I love the heavily laced racism.
zone was brought back to hold down the black man. I really cant get a handle on their angle.

Yeah... that's an interesting side of it
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
We wasted ...
… all that fear, all that intimidation, all that swagger of teams traveling to Rupp.
Now, we have to show that we want it more, because these guys are coming for us in the second half. And they are not afraid.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
I think we will see a much different UK team in the 2nd half with....
Wall and Big Cuz getting more PT
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
C......A......T......S.....CATS....CATS.....CATS !!!
I haven’t posted a Cats cheer today…..maybe this will help. :-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
I say-
Big Cuz is unstoppable in the second half!!!
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
I say someone call the meatwagon......or the coroner.....
whichever one they can get there first, because there are going to be bodies lying around after this one……….
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
I have to wonder
Even though this was a horrible half, we had the last 10 minutes of the drexel game lineup and the game didn’t get out of control. That has to be at least a silver lining

Kentucky has zero intensity on defense.
Zero. Worst of the year.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
Zero.
None of the in-your-face aggression. Third game in 6 days, plus the late night Monday and the short turnaround.
Lame.

They could be a little tired, I guess.
But they have got to bring it, tired or no.

Wall’s got a pretty stroke. Why doesn’t he shoot more from outside?

he shoots a better % than I ever expected...
but I think his shot is more of a set shot and thus needs to be wide open to get it off

Now this is better.
Trapping the wings and using the zone press has raised the defensive intensity and is taking it out of the 49ers.
