Texas A&M vs. Kentucky: Game Thread

[Will Lavender]

Not sure taking 30 + 3 is a good thing.

Yeah, when you've got four defenders in the paint most every trip then I think it was an okay gameplan. It worked anyway.

Jacob Toppin was such a key to that today. His passing ability is super surprising and has gotten us so many baskets on this winning streak. He's becoming a super well-rounded player and I'll be honest, I didn't see it coming.

Free throw shooting better, but unless the Cats can consistently shoot from the line like the Aggies did today its a mighty risky proposition.

I don't think they missed.

We don't have to do that. We just have to do (much) better than we were doing two weeks ago.

Good win. Like Will pointed out, aTm was hot, and undefeated in conference coming in. Perhaps better, a win where Oscar didn't have to shoulder the whole load.

Someone please tell Cal he really doesn't need to open the deep freeze until seconds, not 7-10 minutes, remain in the game.

That was a MANS game today. Very physical. That goon who played center for A&M best cheap shot artist since Ricky Blanton. Very encouraging to see Cats stay poised and not wilt in this type of game, this team would have folded in this type of game a month ago. Shout out to Reeves who is improving each game. I also think Ware played well in first half subbing for Oscar, he will never be an offensive threat but he worked very hard. I also love the way zWallace shrugged off a terrible 1st half and play well in the second

I'd rather them do that than stand around and dribble until they jack up an off balanced layup.

They had good looks today. A lot of that was what AM was giving us, but I liked what I saw offensively.

Stacking up some good wins. Big opportunity next weekend.

Unsung hero is Ware for holding the fort down while Oscar was out because of fouls.

[Lighthouse]

Right. But I feel like it happens more often in Doug Shows games.

Probably just a coincidence. Today was a WWE match.

Today the monitor cost Oscar a foul. He committed the foul but they didn't see it or if they saw it they didn't call it when it happened.

Very good win there much better flow defensively an offensively. If Fredericks could shoot 30% they would’ve won by eight or more points easily.

Still not watching the games. Turned off Netflix at 415 and CJ was hitting a shot and free throws. So looks like my mojo of not watching or checking in during the game is good luck. lol
Will keep this up a while. I am guessing Wheeler is still not playing much and we are playing the 5 guys that have played best together. I will wait for the KSR highlights to see what we looked like.

What was good today. Any bad today?

[KCKUKFan]

Our Cats keep doing it.

Today was a big win, and it can't be understated. That was a man's game, and it will pay dividends going forward.

And alluvasudden Kansas looks like they've got their own problems. Opportunity if we want to grab it.

This team makes me crazy. But a win calms me down 🙂

They spent a lot of time at the monitor because the ncaa instructs them to. Absolutely unnecessary.

Just dropping in to say that the only thing more reliable than Doug Shows spending an hour at the monitor is Cal slowing the game down to a crawl with 7 minutes left.

If I had hair, I'd pull it out.
