This is the official A Sea of Blue open game thread for the Georgia Bulldogs @ Kentucky Wildcats basketball game this evening at Rupp Arena, March 4th @ 8:00 PM.
Particulars of this game are as follows:
- TV: Raycom
- Live stats
- Audio (Requires Microsoft Silverlight)
- Radio
- Live video
- Yahoo! Video
- Game preview
Well, there is no more describing the remaining games in terms of "must win" or "huge." At this point, it may not even matter anymore unless we win the SEC tournament. Most pundits think UK will be in if it beats Georgia tonight, Florida Saturday and wins a game in the SEC tournament. That would get UK to 22 wins, and should be enough -- barely. But drop this one or the next one, and UK would need to get to the finals of the SEC tourney to have any chance at all, and they may still need to win the thing outright to get selected.
Georgia is currently considered the worst team in the SEC, and with the SEC as weak as it is this year, that means they are pretty bad. Ken Pomeroy currently has the Bulldogs ranked at 211th. Despite their recent slide, the 'Cats have handled teams of this caliber every time but one - VMI. To lose this game is to remove all avenues to the NCAA tournament save one.
Things Kentucky needs to do well to win:
- Defensive rebound. We all know its a problem, and it will be a problem against Georgia most likely, unless something changes.
- Continue to play hard on defense. UK played very hard defensively against LSU, and just made a few mistakes that cost them dearly.
- Continue to value the ball. 15 turnovers against LSU nearly won that game for us. If we could lower that by one or two, it would help our cause.
Things that will make it hard for Kentucky to win:
- Get behind early. We lose every game where this happens.
- Play like we are afraid to lose. Nothing will get you beat faster than showing fear. If the 'Cats get the lead, they need to play smart, but aggressively.
- Fail to communicate. Bad communication cost us the LSU game.
Folks, I swear that if we lose this game, I will go outside and spread myself on the winds like Apollo in the Star Trek Original Series episode Who Mourns for Adonais? Of course, losing to the worst team in the SEC in Rupp Arena on Senior Day on top of our most recent struggles just might cause Kentucky fans to go mad and march on Lexington with torches and pitchforks, and I'd hate to miss that. I'm thinking that Gillispie might want want to have an "undisclosed location" mapped out for his own safety in case things go south.
But as I read in a tagline earlier today, there is nothing wrong with Kentucky basketball that a string of wins won't fix. Tonight would be a nice place to start.
Go, Cats!

our 2 leading scorers
are neither meeks nor patterson
Both have disappeared on offense tonight.
Meeks has just seemed off the past 3 games or so. His shots aren’t falling, and he’s not getting to the rim as well either.

Gawd Meeks. What is going on with him?

Maybe I spoke too soon, but I really believed the Cats would run away from them early
and a 2 point lead at half-time isn’t what I expected.
We still have twenty minutes of frustrating basketball left.

i LOVE that inbounds play
that ends with patterson dunking it
Consider this.
We scored 49 points in this half, probably amongst our largest scoring halves of the year (maybe the most?), and Meeks and Patterson combined for only 13 (10 of those to Patterson).
Maybe this is a new team. We just need to remember how to play defensive a little better.

they certainly moved the ball much better than I remember from the last several games
but they missed 5-6 easy shots inside that had very little to do with the GA defense. If they hit those shots they would be leading comfortably.

7-9 for Georgia on threes
many of those have been wide open and that’s a defensive issue, but a chunk of that is luck. Georgia couldn’t shoot that high in practice if they tried.

even if Georgia gets the exact same shots from the same people, there’s no way they got 7-9 in the second half.

Halftime stats for UK
Porter: 12 points, 3 assists
Patterson: 10 points, 5 rebounds
Harris: 9 points, 3 steals
Miller: 7 points, 2 steals
Meeks: 3 points (1-6 fg)
GBB!!!
How about the Meeks
turnovers on poor ball-handling/bad decisions to push into a crowd around the basket?

yeah, he needs to stop driving to the basket when there are 3 defenders hovering around it
drive, but then back it out and reset – get the defense moving. It’s what Georgia has done to UK several times.

Several of the threes GA made came after ill-advised block attempts.
If we’re going to play that strict man-to-man, we gotta stay home and not try to block every long shot the other team takes. “Get a hand in their face” used to be the by-word; now it’s “get on Top Ten with a killer block.”

Galloway. Cmon.
This is also generally when Meeks finally gets hot in games he’s been cold. Let him shoot.

We just need a stop after that TO. It is very manageable.

I have
both sessions Friday, mid court row T. I sure hope I get to see UK Friday. Not sue I will go Thursday.
If we
lose on Thursday in St. Pete, BG doesn’t make it to year three if players don’t like him. What player would with his decisions.
if we lose tonight
ive been a supporter of gillespie completely until recently, but anybody who wants billy g to stay after this sec season is either not a fan or doesnt know what they’re talking about

I want him to stay.

3 point shouts
33 points from the three point line pathetic
Except for extending the streak............
…what does a chance in the Big Dance do for us??? I mean, wow
tom hammond after recounting all the good 3 point shooting games against us:
" they just don’t defend the 3 very well"
There is hope but I feel like this is Groundhog Day

Again, substitutions are bizarre
Players go in at a different position every other substitution. “you are a PG, no a SG, no a SF”.

It’s the inverse proportion of the “toughness” factor integrated by the 12th power of the natural log of the “practice quality” divided by the fourier series result formed from the win vs loss ratio times the number of gallons of bourbon sold after gameday.

I am more down

Starting on the post mortem.
Anyone getting out of line while I’m doing it is doomed. :-) I’m in a bad mood, and my trigger finger is itching like crazy.

You think?
At this point, I don’t think our seed will be high enough for a home game.
Well... that'll just about put the cherry on top of a stellar season
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
With their loss to Miss St tonight... we both may be out.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
here is the deal
if patterson and meeks do not go pro, then maybe BCG is better liked by his players than it looks like
by memphis wildcat on Mar 4, 2009 10:19 PM EST reply actions
If Patterson and Meeks don't go pro,
it will have absolutely nothing to do with whether they like the coach. It will have more to do with whether a team will take them after the debacle that was this season.
probably right
maybe a silver lining but prolongs the BCG thing…..
by memphis wildcat on Mar 4, 2009 10:21 PM EST up reply actions
Gone...
I think Meeks and Patterson will both go pro… don’t look good for next year… especially if BG is around, still if we have a new coach, it will be very though year…
Latley they have been very predictable
Poor defense, poor coaching and poor play from just about everyone.
GBB!!!
"Predictable"
Sadly, that was going to be my point as well.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Nope. At least I did not. Maybe someone else did.
If so, he or she can point it out. This is what I have been most disappointed with over the course of the season as I said in a long post the other day.
only positive is miller stepped up
but on balance no

I may be shot on the season...btu we haven't seen a leader step up yet for BCG......
……so I shall stand my ground till I see a complete, or close enuf too it, team
maybe you have a point
but we should not need a leader to beat UGA – at home
USC in carolina – yes. at vandy, maybe. but not uga at home

Beat by the dawgs.....
on our home court when we needed a win most. If you can’t finish, there’s no point.
On Senior Night against a team with 0 road wins....
with two All American caliber players….

Who would have thought
that with Patrick Patterson on your team for two years, he would not get to play in the NCAA tournament either one?
I thought Patterson was supposed to be our saving grace!
Just like whats-his-face that’s coming in next year, and all of these stellar basketball gods that have been recruited to play for the BBN. What happens if they get here and they don’t perform? Does that reflect on the player himself or the coach?

You're right, Patterson has performed
I didn’t mean to imply that he hasn’t. But he hasn’t been able to perform to the best of his ability because he’s being hampered somewhat by other teammates. He’s an All-American for a reason, but he’s not a miracle worker.
that is going to be a great trivia question someday

"Name the only All American for Kentucky to never play in the NCAA tourney."

If he's half the coach we want him to be...
He needs to have enough self-confidence to think he can keep coaching.
Sadly.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Some of those guys knew how to step up and win from the previous year.
Not sure our current guys have that ability or mindset.

shakes head
I will say this, at the beginning of the thread I said that UK needed 3 wins to feel good on Selection Sunday. I still believe that to be true for the most part, but they will need help from a few other bubble teams losing and very few upsets in the 1-bid conferences that have a worthy at large team (like the Horizon League and Butler).

I’m tired of arguing, but if you’re honest with yourself, you know where the blame lies for this team’s failures. That’s it.

The head coach is responsible in the end he gets paid the big bucks
