Florida vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[UK8STL11]

Gonna be like this all year. Frustrating as hell watching this team play.

Still trying to to figure out what they do well. So far I’ve got nothing (except blowing big leads).

Very disappointing half to be honest. We are better than Florida, especially at Rupp. Playing like we're on the road.

The fact we cannot make a jump shot is mind boggling. What I wouldn't give for 2 kids that can't dunk but can shoot the eyes out of it.

[Joneslab]

Brutal last 5 minutes.

We had a double digit lead if we wanted it. Had them on their heels. But could not hit open shots and here we are.

The defense was surprisingly solid for much of that half, but offensively we are trying to do things that not even Anthony Davis could do. Entry passes at bad angles from 30 feet. One-on-four drives in the halfcourt. One dribble twenty footers with a hand in our faces.

Total lack of rhythm and juice.

[Blue Heaven]

Say what you will, but Knox and Hami absolutely kill us with their defense and shot selection/handles.

I can’t even focus on this game. Frickin’ Zion...

I had him going to Clemson so I was not upset about losing him but DUKE OF ALL PLACES! Now that is what hurts.

If we can clean up our game and continue to hustle on D, we can win this game going away. If not, the 2nd half will probably be a replay of the 1st. I imagine Cal is preaching about getting the ball inside.

[thughes]

Diallo should have passed on that last "drive". He has got to have the worst shot selection I have ever seen.

When you are more worried about the name on the back of the uniform then the name on the front you make those types of plays.

And guess who we play in Nov??

Duke. I just puked.

[UK8STL11]

13-3 run in last 4:55 of the half.

They simply cannot allow that to keep happening.

[Blue Heaven]

Duke. I just puked.

No Allen or Bagley. Consider me not scared.

[thughes]

No Allen or Bagley. Consider me not scared.

If most of these guys come back and most of them should, then KY could have a very good team. Lots of talent and experience. Being the first game for the Duke guys we have a good chance to beat them.

So I am not scared either. Actually looking forward to it. Now that may change prior to the game though.

JV starting the 2nd half!

[UK8STL11]

This game is teetering on becoming a Florida blowout.

[thughes]

FL on a 12-6 run to open the 2nd half. KY 0-8 on 3 pointers.
