Running UK Game Thread: 2/8 South Carolina

We will get their best shot. They’re going to be motivated for Cal and we haven’t played the best following big wins this season.
87 - 79 boys in blue.
And right on que, a crappy 3 pt shooting team makes a ton. I like how hard Ky is playing and Pope has shown a knack for making adjustments at halftime.
Arky has already made 3 more 3s than they average per game. They aren't gonna shoot 9-18 in the 2nd half. Would be nice if the Cats would put more effort in defending the perimeter though. Make Thiero beat you. I'll take Pope's halftime adjustments over Cal's 100 times out of 100.
If they shoot like that in the 2nd half I will be very surprised. We shot 7/10 from 3 and we're down because for some reason our guys can't shoot FTs.
Plus high turnovers and low assists. Perry is a big liability. Gotta steal some minutes with him though without Butler and Kriisa.
Just took a shit in my lucky hat, we should be good.
Worked before.

Coaching and effort stand out so far.
UK is playing like they're playing against Kentucky in their home court.

They need to stop being so sloppy with the ball and act like they care a little bit on defense.
UK defense is just pathetic today. It's never been good but yikes. Show some damn toughness and fight.
Gotta give it to Arkansas though, they are playing well.
Yeah they are. Shooting out of their minds. A lot have been open but they are hitting some tough ass contested shots as well.
Without Butler and Kriisa he kinda has to plug in some scrubs so the other guys have some left in the tank down the stretch. But this lineup at this point in the game down 11 seems..... odd.
Yeah, UK ain't coming back in this game. Not competent enough on defense, even though Arkansas is an awful offensive team.
If we play off our Indian name, Kentucky, we'd be team Heelfoot.
If you can't guard with both hands straight up against drivers, it's gonna be a long night.
Yep. Cut it to 6 and then a lazy closeout leads to a Big Z three followed by a lazy pass for an Arkansas runout. That might do it unfortunately.
They need Butler back bad. One of the few that bothers to play defense.
