Alabama vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[Dwight Schrute]

John Petty hit that last three straight over Nick Richards. That’s insane.

That’s the best offensive half we’ve had all year, if we keep that up we’ll be right there in the end of the tournament.

If we can keep Petty from going off and the defensive pressure up, I like our chances to win comfortably.

Quickley looks like he is in the zone.

Quickley reminds me of Brandon Knight.

Quickley reminds me of Brandon Knight.

Their jump shots look almost identical.

Had to attend a funeral mass and missed the first half.......ready for the second half......GO CATS!!!!!!

[Dwight Schrute]

We’re playing a little too loose.

Horrendously sloppy play by UK this half. The offensive rebounds we are allowing are insane.

this should be a 25 point lead with the way Bama is shooting.

if they start hitting threes or will get uncomfortable.

[Dwight Schrute]

Alabama isn’t hitting 3s and that is keeping them from really getting back into the game. If they start hitting them look out, but right now making them settle for 2s is a good strategy.

WOW...what happened to that 51-39 lead we had

[Matt Dillon]

Wake up, guys.

[Joneslab]

Richards with a really bad run in the second half. Hurting us in all kinds of different ways.

Kentucky also depends so much on Tyrese Maxey. Makes you pine for last year when we had at least three guys we could count on to make something happen. You see how essential Maxey is on this team: they basically have to run him off twenty screens and then let him have the ball every time the shot clock is under 5. The only true bucket-getter on the team against the clock.

But more than that, Kentucky's been beaten to probably 25 loose balls today. Alabama just getting to everything if it goes up on the rim.

[TrueblueCATfan]

Come on CATS.....you are playing at home ...act like it

[JFCats22]

This is a pretty pathetic second half.

Cats were up 52-37 at the 17:11 mark.

since then they have been about as bad as you could possibly be. Bama is not good and we should have won this game by 20+

[TrueblueCATfan]

seriously.......a 10 second violation

[Matt Dillon]

Phew!
