North Carolina vs Kentucky

[mebeblue2]

stats look better then i thought they would
34.6% from 3 which is about 1 made shot short of our season average
24 assists vs 18 turnovers
11 steals (7 by Hagans)

Congrats to the cats. Cal had his team prepared. Did the two things you have to do against Roy, rebound and get back on defense.
Kentucky out rebounded the heels 43-33. Every other coach should watch this game. That’s the blueprint to beat Roy.

Not a surprising result to anyone who knew college basketball

Keep downplaying? Who said I was downplaying? Even a UNC fan agreed White has sucked. Sounds like you need to take your blue-tinters off. Nobody's downplaying anything. Again, out of the woodwork.

What I watched was Kentucky take advantage of a lot of turnovers while UNC didn't. That is what I watched. Never said it was good or bad.

You seem upset even after a win

You just refused to give UK any credit til your last post and that’s fine. Just own it.


Not upset. I just think you’re an a$$hole who does t know much about basketball. That’s it.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

UK controlled that game start to finish.

 

[HRTheCard]

@HRTheCard just one game, thought we looked better at the guard without Green in there.

Green > Baker

Way better without Green and his shit defense.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Green > Baker

Baker has practiced like 2 weeks in the past year and a half.

You’re posting more in this thread then you will during the assault at the Yum Center weekend!

At least you guys can be proud again, at least for a week. Lol

Is he a walkon?

Not one of my post insinuated that it was all UNC. I like how you completely deflected and failed to acknowledge that what I said about White during this game was true. He played terrible and hurt UNC badly. Throwing the ball to him on 2 inbound plays resulted in him catching it and rolling off his leg. That is inexcusable.

I'm sorry, but a game with 35 total turnovers and anyone who watched saw the sloppiness as a result of full out sprinting and jacking up shots/being selfish is not the definition of today's basketball game. If it is, then we are in bad luck for the future.

It's funny how you make that last claim but fail to respond with where I was wrong. Ironic.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Glad UK has the monkey off it's back. Nice top 10 win. Very few schools have a top 10 win.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Is he a walkon?

No. He has been injured.

Yea honestly never felt like UK was in any danger to lose the game. I knew UNc would make a run but I never doubted we would win.

I don't know if I believe that. Just doesn't seem right. He tore it when? Most athletes with the technology are healed in under a year these days.

Liked.

Should we be proud after beating Louisville at this point?

 

[rockycard]

Merry Christmas

 

[lurkeraspect84]

We do. SmokinSmile

So you get what I'm saying. I don't get why ppl need to write paragraphs downplaying it.

 

[mebeblue2]

Is he a walkon?

had knee surgery before he played his first game at UK
he has been sidelined for 1 1/2 years

 

[rockycard]

Y’all can’t beat a team that beat Seton Hall.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

It's just a conspiracy. UK has been holding him out this long on purpose.

did you build a shrine
if not...........get outa here Winking

 

[rockycard]

Today’s win will probably keep Kentucky on the good side of the bubble.

I'll take it. It's better than the alternative.

Everything is in UL's favor next week.

You don't have to believe it, doesn't bother me. He missed all of last year rehabbing and had another knee surgery this past summer. His first game was against Seton Hall. Still isn't in condition to play legitimate minutes.

 

[BasketBallJunkie-UK]

Baker practiced some earlier this year, but the knee wasn't cooperating. He's gotten in 3 full weeks of practice.

Some UNC fans said he had 3 TOs. If true, that’s not exactly killing his team.

Laziness. You know those L'ville guys. Hide their internet device under their work boots and nothing gets accomplished.

they are also not used to the truth
it is going to be an adjustment for them

 

[Hank_]

Is he a walkon?

10th man going into the year, ranked higher than any guard Louisville has signed in 2 years.

Kid will be legit if he can stay healthy. Defense is lacking, but he’s a playmaker.

 

[JimboBBN]

Kentucky wins next week. Close game, but we will win.

 

[Quavarius]

Kentucky 87
Holes 86

Welp. Not as close as I thought it would be but felt UK would take this one.

 

[UKBlitzkrieg]

The team is just an entirely different animal without Green. Better defensively because they are longer than the opponent at every spot on the floor. Better offensively because Hagans and Quickley can operate with a longer leash, not constantly fearing the hook.

Not only was he a liability on defense, but he also consistently turned the ball over at least once every 10 minutes played by trying to make a two-handed chest pass, cross-court, over a much taller defender who was staring right at him.

Honestly, I lost my shit at least twice a game over it for the last year and a half.

 

[mebeblue2]

Entering tonight’s game, North Carolina was the No. 1 rebounding team in America. The Tar Heels grabbed an average of 46.1 rebounds per game, including 12.7 on the offensive glass.

Kentucky out-rebounded North Carolina 43-33.

borrowed that off another site

 

[lurkeraspect84]

I'm surprised on how Little was completely nonexistent.
