Alabama vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[thughes]

1 bounce Washington with the slam and the harm. Then throws up a very weak free throw.

That's good officiating right there. Getting it right.

John Adams agrees too.

[justford]

Quade you have to be smarter than that

[BobS]

Really good defense again.
Offense is just like mud though.
42% FTs......Uh
Getting our rebounded. Clean that up.

You just know Bama is going to turn it on. Sexton will force action. This SGA wall it up stuff needs to turn into something

[Lighthouse]

Tale of the tape. Cats shooting 50%, Bama 33%. 3's UK 44%, Bama 29%. TO's UK 6, Bama 8. Rebounds Bama 16, UK 13.

Knox had a terrible first half! 1-3 shooting for 2 points, 0-1 from 3 point land, 1 rebound, a steal but he had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls. Hope he comes to play the 2nd half.

For the SEC tournament Wenyen is 4-6 on 3 pointers. 9-18 over the last 6 games. This will really force teams to guard him outside which should open the lane for drives.

Excellent defensive effort all day yesterday and carrying through to today.

Agreed. Knox needs to get dirty, though. He's just not very fast or quick, in order to really make use of those screens, and seems to want to be wide open to shoot even mid range shots. Post him up and let him use that one hander. I'm not trying to sound like Joe Hall, but we need to establish something in order to use these guard sets. Running screens for guards is getting us nothing but bad, late-clock shots, without the impetus to make the Tide fear giving up position on the post due to the guard running the baseline.

Will Cal finally move on from Richards starting? Everyone and their grandfather knows that SKJ is better, right now.

[BobS]

Here we go!!!!

[thughes]

Wenyen with another 3 pointer! He is dialed in today! 11 points KY's leading scorer.

3 Trifectas from Gabriel----Tourney MVP??

It could be that Cal feels SKJ is better coming off the bench. That is the only thing I can think of as to why Richards starts over him.
