Halftime Panic Thread

[Matrim55]

Can't hit open looks, can't rebound, can't guard Randle without doubling which leads to open 3s for the Harrisons and Young.

Doomed.

 

[Doggie Style]

Relax! Daniels comes off the bench in the second half. Business as usual!!!

 

[Excalibur]

We'll know how this is going to go by the first five minutes of the second half.

 

[kobe]

Isn't it amazing how every Kentucky game this tournament has followed the same script? The other teams gets out to a lead, key players get 2 fouls and UK goes on big run to make it a close game at the half.

I think we all know how this script is supposed to finish. UConn is doomed.

 

[jibsey]

Daniels didn't play, what 10 minutes?

 

[jfuchs91]

Breathe on Kentucky? Foul.

But seriously, we played the last 6 or so minutes without either Daniels or Boatright. They'll be fresh in the second half. And as Ollie said, we're a second half team. Ollie let Shabazz stay fresh against Nova; he's doing the same with Boatright now. I'd obviously be feeling better up 10+, but I'm still confident.

Would have been nice if we played a little smarter w that lead. In too much of a hurry to take the lead to 20, and now it's only 4.....I'm a little nervous.

 

[BankShot]

Suck it up, WE'RE THE BETTER TEAM

 

[Gurleyman]

We had ticky tack stuff called on us. Only whistles on Kentucky were Boat getting knocked into the cheerleaders (close to flagrant) and Marcus Lee's open field tackle on Bazz.

 

[August_West]

can brimah stay on his feet instead of going for the block on help?! its louisville all over again

 

[Manofplay]

Cmon Huskies, get it together. You started off strong, but the zone seemed to get in your head. Bazz needs to stay at the top when shooting the three. He can make them from wherever, but he is pretty much unguardable from the top. Need more ball movement inside and kick to the open three. Noticed a bit of a stale offense trying to force shots inside. Y'all know your boys better than a lil ol Memphis fan, but if you guys get back to your normal style, you guys got this. Cmon now, bring it!!!

Emmert has obviously made his way to the officials' locker room . . .

 

[SHS72]

Charles is right. We're doooomed!

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

We're screwed. Kentucky is gonna roll in the 2nd. We'll be lucky to lose by only 10.

It was a nice run while it lasted.

 

[Alum86]

Need that smothering disupting D that led us out the 15 pt lead. Those damn diaper D's have their sea legs now

 

[traitor71]

Screw it, I'm going to get a bottle and hide under my bed the rest of the way.

 

[specialisthusky]

Doomed

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

We are DOOOOOOOOOOMED.

 

[geohusky]

Boat and DD on the bench a lot of minutes the first half and we're still up, they'll be back on the floor .... we're doomed!!!

 

[SHS72]

Yeah we've had it. Calipari is hall of fame bound.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Can we get a god damn foul call??!! Nolan gets clobbered. Brimah slapped three or four times. Randle travels and them brushes Daniels fingers for his second. Every game. Call a damn foul refs. It's unreal

 

[Limbo Land]

Doooomeed… until we get Boatright and Daniels back

 

[SHS72]

Truth is, our guards can't be afraid to challenge that zone. Take it inside and take the foul, make the shots and we go from there.

 

[Manofplay]

Problem with the strategy of taking it inside and getting the foul call is that playing against Kentucky is like playing against Duke. You aren't going to get many of those calls.
