PrintThe original in this game got stiff in a hurry, so I'm opening up another one to make it easy.
Need more cow bell from the 'Cats in the second half. Too tentative.
Go 'Cats!

I will be fine if the 2nd half ends the same way, but youre right!!!
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Don't worry. If Downey accounts for 50% of our points again...
You’ll win.

You guys have an LSU offense......
Pete Maravich and no one to pass the ball to……
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
at the risk of being critical, does he always force this many shots??
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
He's begun to try to take it all on himself moreso than he did when he had more help.
He’s also clearly trying to draw fouls and get your guards into foul trouble.

UGH
Flashes of greatness and carelessness both in the first half.
Is it just me or do we take the last minute of the first half off in a lot of games. We let teams make up 3-5 points in that minute a lot.
Can't play much worse and we're still up 3..!!!
This is our game to take, and TAKE it we shall..!!!
Steelers fan 1st! UK is my 2nd love.
need to get the ball to ppat more
anybody with his shooting percentage should get more than 3 shots a half
sorry, 4 shots.
Still. Also, how nasty was dodson’s dunk
Time to bust some ass.
I’m tired of seeing the guys not take open shots.

Good call Tru...
I come back from a break and find a quiet board.
Let’s make this half different also. Go Big Blue!
IF we shoot as poorly as we did in the first half,
there are 20 teams that could beat us. We gotta put the ball in the hole.
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!
Get the ball inside
It is where our biggest advantage is
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
Let's bring back that team that played Arkansas!
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
While I'm worried
Its not that dread worry that I have been carrying for the past few years. Its more like concern. and darn if that aint’ good
Adjustments
Need a runout to the hoop for Wall to stop the outlet pressure.
Need to Face up Downey like they did Clarke.
I'm going to need more bourbon if this keeps up
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.

Ugh
I hate when we’re away and this happens. I hope they come back with some big plays and shut up all the gamecock gooniefans up.
We're getting beat not just because of Downey,
but because we’re giving up way too many second-chance points. We’re getting outworked on their boards and we’re shooting like crap.
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!
Who forgot to tell this team they are the tallest in the nation
No matter where you're at, there you are

time to get out on Downey and double him with 2 guards and then release him only when he is inside deep…….turn off their energy
Remember, we're having fun now!!!

I was beginning to wonder
if the refs were going to actually allow SC front line to carry concealed weapons. They sure let them get away with murder up until the last few minutes.

C'mon Cincy...
You know alot about hoops, how many over the back calls have been missed?? How many times has Downey pushed off to get his shot up??
If your wings don't sweep....
On the road
you’ve got to be tougher than the other team and the refs! We ain’t getting it done…

That Damn rooster call is the worst.
this game is the best thing that this team could ask for. perfect learning game.
Vince, I don't know how old you are,
but I’ve been a fan for a long time, and I know a poor-effort game when I see it. If we’d had the effort of the last minute the whole game, we’d have won, but we didn’t and we didn’t.
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!
I agree
It sucks though. Mostly cause Seth Davis called this a loss over a month ago.
Effort was good.....hostile environment....and they didnt quit......
we can build from this……one loss is not the end
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
MAN.....
It has been one HELL of a ride and I’m so proud of these young CATS…
I love my wildcats..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steelers fan 1st! UK is my 2nd love.
It's been a GREAT ride, and it ain't over yet,
just because we hit a pothole. We will now find what they’re made of. At this point last year, the team imploded. I don’t think this one will. Time will tell.
No moral victories--it's all about Ws and Ls!!!

Anybody but Devan F'ing Downey
Come on Guys
Good run, take your lumps and learn that you have to play smart EVERY DAY, or stuff like this happens.
agreed
those rebounds at the end I thought he had a chance to score and he just passed out…when is he going to assert himself?
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
This gooes out to our young Wildcat team.....
You guys are the best….

And we thought it would be the threes that would kill us

bottom line....
we left 16-20 points on the backboard… you can’t do that and win on the road…
Steelers fan 1st! UK is my 2nd love.
YES...........that's the reason the L is on the board.
We had so many point blank misses………. I’m still upset at the lack of over the back calls, but…………that not an excuse.
from the start i felt the Obama call had everyone sidetracked

They just out hustled us. Oh yeah Obama did not get out rebounded…I think that was all on us.
Now the team can compare this feeling to win #2000 feeling

some tough calls, but we let them win this.
Downey just drove the nail.

We will be better because of this! Look out Vandy!!
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
And lucky as hell
How many Circus shots did he knock down.
The worst part is, the ones he missed, we couldn’t corral.
by aidanpryde18 on Jan 26, 2010 11:28 PM EST up reply actions
It seemed like the old
taking a nap after practice groggy play. They played harder and wanted it more. Let’s make Vandy pay.
Well. we made a couple of mistakes, AND
we shot poorly
we didnt rebound
and we didnt play Defense against the #1 scorer in the conference
We will learn from this one……..
We did hold Downey under his average…..lol
Time for Coach to earn his pay…..I have no doubt he will
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
definitely a learning experience
As much as it pains me to watch us play like that sans Big Cuz’s play, he played like a beast, I have to say I agree with you blucat.
Time for Cal to school these kids back to the top!
the more I see the less I know for sure
The most flat-footed
the Cats have been all season long. Aside from Demarcus, the entire team was just asleep tonight.
I agree completely
Did the Cats WALK to South Carolina? They looked a bit dazed and/or winded tonight.
Better to lose now then later….I just hate listening to what the idiot 4 Letter will say tonight and tomorrow morning. Local sports radio here in Los Angeles is already all over it.
Oh well…GO CATS!!!!!

it would so go to Goodwill.
BUT I LOVE MY CATS !!!
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
A loss I can "live" with
Jesus, they not only got the big #1 target but they had to go to a mean game we ALL were worried about a little but damned if the freaking prez didn’t call them. CRAP! That is allot for a bunch of kids. The freshmen are freshmen and the uppers are shell shocked after two years of F’ing Brewbaker for a coach.
So how far to we drop? My vote is 4.
Changing how you think will change what you think.
Is this game a big deal?
Only if we let it be. The silliness of an undefeated can be dismissed. This is an opportunity to recalibrate, renew, and focus with increased energy.

Too many missed opportunities.
Missed layups, untaken shots, lazy passes.
I’d say the guys (except, from what I saw, for big Cuz) drank the poison that we and everyone else have been serving them. Shame on us.
Oh, by the way, in a close game poor officiating does make a difference. But they probably did us a favor by looking the other way with some of those no calls. We obviously needed the medicine we took tonight.
We're all just a banana peel away from eternity.
