Cats have come back with 7-2 run of their own and at the under 12 timeout it is now 22-16 Vols.

Cats back down once again double digits at 31-20 at the under 8 media timeout. We have in just over 12 minutes committed 7 turnovers and the defense have only forced 1. The Vols are still shooting over 50% from both 2's and 3's. Also the Vols have 5 offensive rebounds to the Cats 0. 

I am afraid this one could be about to get very ugly for the Cats. I hope I am wrong.

38-24, 3:49 left

41-24

The Cats now have went over 7 minutes without a basket. This funny the Cats just got their first offensive rebound and it was because 3 Vols players were going after the rebound and dropped it out bounds.

If basketball was like football and there was a designated Def Coordinator, whoever that is for UK they wouldn’t be allowed back on the bus to Lexington.

The Cats have now went on a 7-0 run of their own to cut the lead back to just 10 at 41-31. 2ith 1:24 left in the half.

That was a foul Dioubate was hit in the face on that drive!

Well it could have easily been worse!

Down 11, I guess that’s ok….

this is pathetic 

42-31 Vols at the half. Hopefully a positive is we are down 11 and Oweh only has 2 points. Two things that has to improve to have a shot in this one is cut down on both our turnovers and giving Tennessee 2nd chance points we gave up 8 offensive rebounds and turned the ball over 8 times in the first half.

We have to be the worst Defensive team I’ve seen in a while, a lost art at UK I guess.

I am guessing you didn’t tune in to UK last season when they were worse. Those warts were covered due to a better offense… this year, neither the offense or defense is worth a darn. 

We had ten loss Tubby and now we have DDP (Double Digit Pope). Let’s hope this is one of the games they come back to win while down double digits again. 

What is going on with these officials? That basket was good by Oweh and they didn't count it and he is shooting 2 shots? That was a complete miss by the officials and Pope says nothing.

The foul was not called on the contact they reviewed. The whistle blew later when Oweh took the shot.
