Princeton 33 @ Kentucky 34: Second Half Game Thread

Well, it was a very good first half for the Princeton Tigers and a so-so first half for the Kentucky Wildcats. Too many defensive breakdowns allowed Princeton to come back from a 7 point lead to take the lead themselves at one point. Kentucky executed well offensively and poorly defensively down the stretch, but managed a 1 point lead.
Princeton is outrebounding Kentucky, and Brandon Knight is scoreless. Jones continues to struggle and Miller continues to excel. A lot of story lines so far for this game, and the second half is the last half of somebody's season. The good news is that Kentucky has almost no foul trouble, the closest thing being Jones with 2.
Go, Cats!

Brandon Knight does have 5 assists, but the scoring portion of his game is non-existent right now.

Vargas with 2 blocks.
Need to get him in for his defense.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
When Brandon and Terrance-
Start to score, we’ll be all right…GO CATS!!!

We got to set some good screens for Lamb and Knight
A man is nothing more than a summation of his scars!
We better bring everything we have
for the second half.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
I've been switching channels back and forth so much
I think I just bought a handbag on the Shopping network
No matter where you're at, there you are
So start Vargas over Jones or both Lamb and Liggins over Jones?
"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."
I hope
Rip Van Jones wakes up for the second half.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
We've seen this before
Knight and Jones nowhere to be found offensively in the first half.
It’s time for the Knight shift to get to work.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
I know I missed the UL losing jubilation posts
in the first half thread, but I just have to commisterate real quick: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed my head off here at my desk when dude hit the three. It was hard to pretend it was work-related. I don’t want to gloat TOO much til our game is over, but wow, what a way to start March Madness ;)

We're not in foul trouble and should have the guards attack them hard inside

Knight missing a floater
don’t see that too often
"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."
17 to 14 total
5-3 ORB
"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."
I like the way-
We’re beginning to force the tempo on offense…Driving the lane
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
I say again-
When Knight starts to score, we’ll be all right…They should try to get him going…
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
I wish I knew when you posted this how true it would turn out to be.
1 for 8 in the game, but that 1 with 2 sec to go sealed it and we were all right. Whew
Don't make this team another Morehead - Lesshead would do
A man is nothing more than a summation of his scars!
C'mon Blue
Get your heads out your ass and let’s play some Wildcat basketball….We’re better than this.
Big Blue Stu
Knight and Jones
have to pick it up.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Personally I think...
a loss to Princeton would more imbarassing then Louisville’s loss to Morehead least the arent Ivy league and our record before today is like 12-2 against Ivy league teams… C’mon cats bury them!!!!!
Princeton's confidence is growing by the minute...
"You are what you are and you ain't what you ain't"
This is GUT CHECK TIME ladies and gentlemen
YOU LOSE, you go home
No matter where you're at, there you are
As my mind wanders
in the quiet of our game….wonder why they named this March Madness?
We should not be using the clock like this
we should be attacking and pushing the pace as much as we can
Its time for everyone to step up and be held accountable.....
no more goofing around

You know the Cats should be so far ahead that we wouldn't even care about the play.

They know that Miller spin move is coming when he drives the side of the lane

5-0 team fouls
that could b e a huge stat

Remember when Knight went to the bench in the first few games and we fell apart?

I know!
Just amazing how far this team has come

Princeton played a great game and hit alot of tough shots...
Our freshman showed freshman nerves and the Upperclassman carried the load.
I’ll take the W!! :-)
If your wings don't sweep....
Brandon Knight struggled offensively....
but this is a perfect example of why you never lose confidence and keep playing through it
Slower Traffic Keep Right!
During the regular season when Knight had the ball in a final shot situation he usually hoisted a 3
Very glad to see him go at the rim this time rather than settle for a long jump shot
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
When they pointed out that
Knight hadn’t scored the whole game, I thought maybe he would hit the game winner. Unbelievable.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Knight's heroics aside, Game ball to Harrelso and Miller for keeping us in this thing
and Cal for giving the ball to our best freshman at the end.
No matter where you're at, there you are
Don't forget Liggs
He made several big plays too.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
The ESPN box score lists Vargas as a starter, is that correct?
3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.
didn't think so

no
"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."
All those no's
made me think Jones was taking a 3.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Thing is the only attempt I saw him take today he nailed
He needs to only take open 3’s not contested ones
"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."
half the time ESPN lists the "starters" as who is on the floor
regardless of who actually started

Josh
I’ve watched him since HS in East Prarie. I thought he would a serviceable backup for Enis and maybe put up 5-6 pts. and rebounds per game. He has never been pushed before because he was always the best player in this area,excluding Tyler Hansborough. I thought he could play like this but didn’t know if he had the desire or gumption. Cal has given him both.
