Kentucky Wildcats @ LSU Tigers: Open Game Thread
Kentucky Wildcats at LSU Tigers, Feb 6, 2010 4:00 PM EST
Today the take on the in Baton Rouge. After handling the Western Division Co-Leaders, the Mississippi Rebels, the Wildcats get to travel to the house that Pete Maravich built to take on the 0-6 LSU Tigers.
Game particulars are as follows, courtesy of UKAthletics.com:
| Date & Time | Sat., Feb. 6, 4:00 p.m |
| Coverage | TV: SEC Network Radio: BBSN Live Stats Online Audio Live Video via ESPN360 |
| Location | Pete Maravich Assembly Center Baton Rouge, La. |
This is one more big step on the road to winning the SEC. If the Wildcats stumble here, it will be a very bad situation and indicative of the young freshmen not getting it. LSU will be ready for them and will no doubt bring one of the best games of their season with them.
More after the jump.
What UK needs to do to win:
- Force LSU into bad shots. They shoot the ball poorly.
- Attack the glass at every opportunity
- Get the ball inside as much as possible to DeMarcus Cousins and Patrick Patterson.
- Take care of the basketball.
What Kentucky must avoid:
- Quick shots out of the offense.
- Allowing LSU to slow down the game
- Bad fouls
- Too many shots from the perimeter. UK outmatches LSU inside.
Go, 'CATS!

bad feed, though
No matter where you're at, there you are
Auburn missed a half-courter at the buzzer to miss another OT
Bounced off the back of the rim though…
If your wings don't sweep....
Cold shooting but LSU does not have the initial adrenaline run
no worries

Yeah, I had 90 points for the Cats in the GOG...
Sigh… Two questions missed!! LOL

voting here for JW and the Cousy award

I have not been here for a few days…so my apologies if this is a repeat
We've taken exactly
one “good” shot so far-the baseliner by PPat. Other than that, crap.

Finally got the rest of the stuff up.
Sorry. Go Cats! Gotta go.

yes
I knew I liked your comments and might like you in person…for some reason other than bb. I got Dune as my first Kindle book at Christmas…Old favorite. Not the others…Just Dune. Use the story of the drowned fishermen often.
all we need now is for Cousins to break out his Weirding Weapon......lol....
dont know if I spelled that right
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Wasn't that a movie-only feature??
Remember the “voice” in the book, but not that…
If your wings don't sweep....
Alright, Big Cuz taking a lot of shoves in there
he just raised his arms.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
LSU in the lead but crowd doesn't seem that enthused
relative to others
No matter where you're at, there you are
Replay showed it was a pretty good pop to the face.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
true.....but he was being pulled from the defender on the other side
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
I just woke up and thought I was still dreaming
Hope the nightmare is over… woke up from night shift …turned on the tube… pinched myself
Blood.... Blood... Blood makes the grass grow....and mine is BLUE!!!!
all they are supposed to do is make sure they got the call right.....and they are using it to legislate the game......BS!!!!
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
at least he is not running his mouth
now it’s time to unleash the controlled monster… ever notice he get’s one of these early then uses the anger for good?
Blood.... Blood... Blood makes the grass grow....and mine is BLUE!!!!
Notice his reaction afterwards??
Just clapped his hands a couple of times and moved on… Like to see that.
If your wings don't sweep....
yep....at least once a game......I swear I think it is an obligatory call.....same as Cuz' first foul
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
yeah, when he gets that extra step in the NBA, they may never be able to slow him down!!!
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Athletic 'Mon. Great shot.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
hustle, hustle, hustle.....LSU thinks there are 9 blue jerseys out there
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Orts!!!!
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
If he can contribute a few points while Cuz is on the bench, it's a huge plus!
If your wings don't sweep....
you must get possession of the ball, and either shoot it, or pass it to someone to get the board
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Well... Let's make it official
Spider or Spiderman??
Cast your votes!! :-)
If your wings don't sweep....
Didn't want to do like DDods at SC.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
after Cal and his instruction course this week, I would say that "easy" was emphasized
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Allright, lets put the pedal down and bury this team.
We need to have a game where we actually do that instead of talking about it
Harrelson needs some PT!

I'm hoping Cuz gets as many points as we have inches of snow
here in MD. (About 27 with white stuff still falling)
You know, Cuz didn't look to bad on that 8 footer!! Nice form and good follow by Eric!!
If your wings don't sweep....
'Scuse me, was that a 6'1" guard with that dunk?
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
hey I'll get that 4 u
Bledsoe then Wall!!!
Blood.... Blood... Blood makes the grass grow....and mine is BLUE!!!!
Nah, just behind the back crossover ankle-breaker.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
did you all see ppat get rocked by cousins on that board?
Cousins would be even better if he ever made the outlet pass. There is always open guys standing around when he has the ball
Good lord, people...
Think you can hold then under 30?

Give me a break...
You guys can’t hold Devan Downey under thirty.

Well played, GM.
Who do you guys play today? I haven’t looked
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
you're probably right but if we play all 5 on him....not sure your other 4 would score
You can't fix "stupid"!
Touche.
I don’t doubt that you’ll do it. If Florida could, you will too.
We play the Vols tonight.

Big talk, UKlvr, ;-))
But I think we might back it up next time.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
Not too much. Just looking forward to watching the 'Cocks whip the Vols tonight.

Good luck with that!
Will be rooting for ya… UT’s like Duke, always like to see ’em lose!! LOL
If your wings don't sweep....
Hating UT is one thing we can both agree on, for sure.

plus
is the refs are doing a better job of staying out of every play
takes em longer
than UK to wake up
Blood.... Blood... Blood makes the grass grow....and mine is BLUE!!!!
Keep the Lead?
So now we have another one
Time to prove on the road we can demolish a team.
Like to see some of the guys on the bench get some play time… only way up 20-30 pts
Blood.... Blood... Blood makes the grass grow....and mine is BLUE!!!!
oh, good one
We can only hope! Just kidding of course ; )

I want a century
and we head to #2. Kansas is better at this point
But don’t embarrass LSU.
No matter where you're at, there you are
They may put up 50 pts in 14 minutes......we only had 1 point at the 14:40 mark
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Late pass.
“Are you making the easy play?”

their “easy button” for sure.

"How does LSU stay in this game?"
They run around the court watching us score!
Blood.... Blood... Blood makes the grass grow....and mine is BLUE!!!!
another point
for me at least…other than the play and score…I so do not miss Dykes
I don't know if I see any way that LSU gets to 50 today.
Heck, they will have to turn it way up to get to 40.
I don't think Krebs will be able to contain Mitchell
It's time. . .

Man.
That half was flat out abuse, misuse and re-use.
Ouch.

ain't it funny
that this time 2 months ago texas and unc looked like top 5 teams?
On Cuz's elbow....
…That was absolutely not a foul… He did not follow through, in fact, when he felt the contact, he pulled his elbow back…
Steelers fan 1st! UK is my 2nd love.
OK, here's the Snowy South Halftime Report
Patrick Patterson is officially the best I ever saw at cutting people off on the baseline.
Demarcus Cousins is officially a beast-hands are quick as well as soft
Spider is the best nickname on the team-thanks eagle; and we’re not gonna suffer too much with him on the floor more next year
Bledsoe has hops, but needs to know when to pull it up
Orton is gonna be just fine, thank you
Miller doesn’t hit the stats ‘cause there are too many “stars” around; if we don’t reload a like amount, he’ll be fine, too
’Mon-WHAT. WHAT? Great hang move.
That is all for the Snowy South Halftime Report
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
I love Spider
for DeAndre’s nickname! And I so hope you’re right about Miller. I love that kid but his tentativness is killing me.

Only about 5" today in Williamsburg, but DC had 30.
One of my UK classmates has 30" of snow and no electricity. Good thing they’ve got a gas fireplace.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
Yeah, probably so...
His defense and shot blocking has always been good, but the offensive side of his game has really come on the past two games…
If your wings don't sweep....
Again, on Cuz...
…Why do we never heard of POY talk or for that matter, AA talk with Cuz..??
He is THE best player in the country, at this point.. IMHO

Yeah, name a big guy who's better? Give up? Me, too.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena . . .who spends himself for a worthy cause . . ."
I was just looking at twitter's #DemarcusCousins feed
There’s a lot of folks who think he’s the best in bball right now
INMHO
Wall got out front first and it is hard for the university to tout both
