Kentucky Wildcats @ Western Mustangs (Canada): Open Game Thread

PrintTonight is the second of three exhibition games in Canada for the 2010-11 Kentucky Wildcats as they face off against the Western Mustangs.
Game particulars as follows:
Time and place: 7 p.m., St. Denis Centre (Windsor, Ont.)
TV Coverage: BBSN (See here for affiliates)
Internet live feed: UKAthletics.com
After a rollicking performance last night against the Windsor Lancers, the Wildcats will try their luck with yet another Canadian college team. Brandon Knight put on quite a performance yesterday scoring-wise, but he only had four assists, and I'd really like to see that number go up.
I expect Terrence Jones will not play much if at all tonight, as he seemed doubtful in a Twitter comment earlier today. He apparently has a stress fracture in one of his ribs, and that is not a good thing. I think he just needs to take a month off and heal.
It will be interesting to see what the Wildcats have fixed, particularly defensively, after their first encounter. Enjoy the game.
Go, 'Cats!

I hate it for the kid, mostly because you could see him on the bench and how upset he was at not being able to go....
those are the kinds of kids you pray to get every year…..chances are he would have continued to play if Cal had let him.

Being the hockey fan that I am??????? Is is ISS oldcat 69? ;-)
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
So, could top new talent and enough returning from a full year with Cal (not a new coach anymore) make a difference?
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
They wont be as big and physical as last season
but they do have some big guys waiting to play

won't take TOO much more
last year was rather special as it was!

possible... This team acts older
not sure if that describes it. These guys already look more business like
No matter where you're at, there you are
I read that today, but after seeing 'em, I'd have to agree with the "business like" comment...
If your wings don't sweep....
I didn't even notice that until Tru mentioned it
but it is very true. Very workmanlike attitude, at this point anyway

Lamb ...

Harrellson hasn’t been half bad. In fact, sometimes he’s been pretty good. :-)

Giants just intercepted Sanchez
and ran it back to inside the 1 on the first drive

I was just flat out amazed he did it.......wasn't he really ticked off at everyone there when he got the boot?

Liggins
is inspiring!
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
Who would have thought ...
… after the “no mas” in Vegas, that Liggins would be destined to inspire.
Ah, life. There is no substitute. :-)

What about that Lance Stephenson story?
how ridiculous. And to think UK was after him for awhile but cooled for good reason

Ahh just figured out the 11 AM start tomorrow. It's a travel day
Cal will let the guys head home for a visit before school starts
No matter where you're at, there you are
Worse things can happen to a rookie, ya know!
Hope he has some KY gear in the locker room, be good advertising…

That guy was one of the biggest fullbacks (blocking back) I have ever seen. Great UK football player. He’ll do well.

announcers keep saying
how Knight shouldn’t be compared to Wall…then go on and compare the two
by blue kentucky girl on Aug 16, 2010 8:41 PM EDT reply actions
announcers said last night
Coach was aiming for having the team be in the top 5 in the nation at getting to the line (or something like that). For the sake of my sanity, I hope to god the FT% is improved.

Sweet
on the court and here at the beach. A man from Jamica just sent over two Beam drinks to celebrate the noise he has been hearing.
i will ask....
I am not sure if I can do the same for the am game tomorrow…may have to start earlier than usual. It is a lovely place…but i am really enjoying the BBN talk…and thanks to all the names I have learned to enjoy.
You know, not having the bigs playing might be good
We all know some of the guys we’re seeing right now will be role players come November. But this is good experience for them. It will add to their confidence and the depth that the team will need come the campaign.
No matter where you're at, there you are
Yeah, he frustrates me at times...
Threw up a horrible shot on one end, then hustles down the floor and get a good block. Strange…
If your wings don't sweep....
yup...i remember Billy Packer telling that story against Duke in 98
because of Langdon
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
Actually, I think they ran the Zamboni over the court at halftime
we just didn’t see it because we didn’t have the raw satellite feed.
No matter where you're at, there you are
Good thing the team went to Cancun and not Canada
Cousins and Patterson in a hockey game against a basketball team would not be fair.
Miller for 3!!
Hey, y’all, about Darius, did I mention….
Just kidding ;)

Is Rod Strickland on the bench?
I thought they moved him to an administrative position to cut down on his travel.
Knight cools his heels
and defers to others (at Cal’s instructions?).
Still scores 17. I’m liking it.
Good night, folks
No matter where you're at, there you are
Score?
