PrintFlorida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats, Feb 10, 2009 9:00 PM EST
This is the official A Sea of Blue open game thread for the Florida Gators @ Kentucky Wildcats basketball game this evening at Rupp Arena, February 10th @ 9:00 PM.
Particulars of this game are as follows:
- TV: ESPN
- Live stats
- Audio (Requires Microsoft Silverlight)
- Radio
- Yahoo! Audio
- ESPN 360
- Game preview
As I said in the pre-game, this is a gigantic opportunity for Kentucky. Florida is the best team in the East, and if the 'Cats want to increase their national respect even marginally, they have to win this game.
A win here will temporarily staunch the bleeding that has lately afflicted the Wildcats and much aroused the Big Blue Nation. Three teams in a row have defeated Kentucky, and a four-game skid would reduce UK fans to bitter recriminations and fighting amongst themselves. A victory tonight is as critical for fan morale as team morale, and Florida is anything but a pushover.
People are calling this a must-win. All things taken together, I believe that is a fair description.
Things Kentucky needs to do well to win:
- Defend the three. Florida is an outstanding three point team, and Kentucky would be better off letting the Gators take shorter shots than letting Calathes & Co. rain on them from outside the arc.
- Rebound. Kentucky cannot surrender a high OR percentage in this game and win. The Gators are efficient enough with poor offensive rebounding.
- Take care of the ball. This is staying here until we do it. No explanation should be necessary.
Things that will make it hard for Kentucky to win:
- Allowing Florida to guard Patterson and Meeks without fear of repercussions. UK must find a way to score if they get all the attention.
- Getting behind early. UK has played very poorly after getting off to a slow start.
- Fail to play defense for the whole shot clock. UK has lately been allowing too many late shots after playing pretty decent defense for 30 seconds or so.
If I was sick of losing last game, I am doubly sick of it now. We need this game for all kinds of reasons, not the least of which is the mental health of your humble correspondent. Let's do the work.
Go, Cats!

I'm very concerned...
with our perimter defense tonight. We can’t allow Calathes and Hodge to spot up for open threes. If we do, it’s gonna be a long night.
I am really excited about this game
It feels like it’s been a month since our last game…
GO CATS!!!
GBB!!!

Hey, since it seems to work when everyone does it to us, why don’t we try doing that with Calathes? Just a thought.
Floridas 3 point shooting is making it extremely difficult to pull away at all.
Not really suprising, but frustrating
That and turnovers. WE had 15, right? Let's say 1/3 of those were points, thats at least 10 additional points

What more respect did you expect? He simply said he couldn’t hear her. That’s not disrespectful. Disrespectful would have been giving some canned answer rather than clarifying.

I'm speechless.
This was absolutely a weak half by both teams. I just can’t accept this is the best we can do.
At least we aren’t behind. But this was not a good half of basketball by any stretch of the imagination. What the heck is with all the switching on screens? Why are we trying to have Patterson and Stevenson bring the ball up? Why can’t we guard Calathes? Who is that man playing with #54, and what did he do with Patrick Patterson?
More questions than answers.

I thought it was rude.
He sat staring into space waiting for the (admittedly long) question to be rattled off. Rather than lean in closer, or make some kind of eye contact DURING the period in which he said he couldn’t hear, he waited until the very end. That’s not what a polite or respectful person would do.
I always feel uncomfortable when Billy G is in front of the camera, kind of like Bobby Knight — although with Knight I’m always worried he’s going to let a string of four-letter words fly and my kids will hear. Gillispie won’t do that. But he definitely is not a people person, and whether he intends to or not, he comes off as rude.
I think he did it on purpose this time.

Coach G
First of all, she asks the most drawn out inane questions of any sideline reporter. Don’t use a ten dollar sentence when a two dollar one will do. As for BCG, I don’t care what he looks like, says, or does in front of the camera. I care what he does on the sidelines and in a recruit’s home. And so far, I’d say he’s done pretty well on both those fronts.
But I can certainly see why so many people loved Tubby. He was very eloquent. Of course, the team was awful, but hey… he had tons of good halftime interviews.

The difference was Harrellson 5 points, Porter, 6 points and Galloway 2 points.

turnovers are rearing their ugly heads again. We continue to find new and interesting ways to give the ball away. If we can cut that in half in the 2nd we should win.

Turnovers I expected tonight. Multiple missed free throws is not a pleasant developement.

OK, so guarding him with Stevenson didn't work
Let’s try not guarding him at all.

Man it was great to see Porter, Harrelson, Galloway and all the rest ply so well. This will hopefully increase their confidence.

as soon as someone hears
please post about Pat. I am so worried. My stomach is in knots. Yall the way he held it……….it looks high ankle but the way he rolled it I am just not sure. I am worried for him. If it was minor I believe he would have been on the floor.
I'd say it was a good sign that he was walking around on it
But as others have mentioned above, we won’t know anything until tomorrow morning.
...when you let other people tell you what success is, you already have no chance of ever finding it. - Doug Glanville
my wife was an athletic trainer for UK's football team in the early 2000's
and she seems to think that it was a great sign that they didn’t rush him off to the locker room… and that he put his shoe back on. They would not do that if it were broke. In fact, if it were broke and you took your shoe off, you probably wouldn’t be able to get it back on anyway. I, like the rest of you, hope that it was nothing. I am sure he saw his career flash before his eyes, but he should be alright, just by judging the way he was treated.

Best team effort this season
That is UK basketball, TOs aside. Galloway was great! Monster dunk was awesome! Nice to see some confidence spread around. Porter and Harrelson earned their keep too.
That last 3 point shot was not pretty, but it hit nothing but net. That was as clutch as it gets. Ironic Calethes ended up losing the game for the gators…………..go cry in the locker room mister.
As far as PPat, since they only wrapped it up and he didn’t go for x-rays, I take that as a good sign.
This is just what we needed though. Tournament atmosphere game. All is right with the world right now. Drink up shriners………….time to celebrate!
Galloway had his coming out party tonight...
I hope that carries over to the rest of the season

Xbox Live Gamertag: hoopchi
they
will face a desperate team in Arkansas on Saturday. Sorry JP we need this one. We don’t need to lose another game. If we want a chance to have some success in the NCAA we need to go undefeated till Selection Sunday. I don’t want some piddly bad seed. We need to be four or higher.
Pat's ankle
might even be a blessing in disguise – If he sits out of practice for a few days, maybe his finger will get better too.
Best Game in Rupp This Year
I just got back from the game and wow, that was the best atmosphere I’ve seen in Rupp this year. I mean the place was bonkers!
After Calathes missed that second free throw all the Florida fans left. I managed to throw a gator chomp in one woman’s face and she said, “What about football?” Football?!? Are you serious? This ain’t history class :) this is about SEC basketball.

Congratulations, Tru, on not having to compose another dreadful post mortem.
Thanks.
You have no idea how glad I am that I don’t. No. Idea.
