Kyle Wiltjer 23 pts (7-9 from 3), 12 rebounds for Kentucky

[Stardust]

That is the Wiltjer that can make it to the NBA! Granted, he has no defense, but when this kid is open, he is lights out!

[Strikeout King]

Lipscomb's coach is at it ""I think we more self-destructed more than it was them." "Start of the second half, Kentucky wasn't ready to play."

[Mr. Pike Central]

Game Ball: Kyle Wiltjer - Wiltjer gets the game ball with 23 points and 12 rebounds. I'm not sure Wiltjer has had 12 rebounds in his last 3 games combined. He also had a couple of assists and a steal to go with a devastating 7-9 shooting performance from the perimeter. I find nothing to criticize in Wiltjer's performance -- he defended better than at any time this year, shot better, rebounded better. He was just... better.

Nerlens Noel - Noel deserves an honorable mention for game ball. He fouled out, which is a definite negative, but he was otherwise every bit the player we need him to be. His quickness at 6'10" is absolutely otherworldly. His line is equally insane: 7 points, 9 rebounds, 7 blocks 4 steals, an assist and 3 turnovers. And 5 fouls.

Julius Mays - He did not shoot the ball well at all, but he did a good job in almost every other way. 1-8 shooting, but he made all five free throws, had 6 rebounds (3 offensive), 4 assists, a steal, and no turnovers.

Ryan Harrow - He continues to struggle with his shot. Harrow is one of those players who has let the 3-point shot thing get in his head, but he found other ways to get it done and really was good, even better than last game. He wound up with 12 points, but had only 2 assists and 1 rebound. He did have 2 steals. Overall, he ran the team pretty well, but he still has a ways to go.

Archie Goodwin - His line today is deceptive, 10 points on 5-9 shooting, but he was really out of sorts. He got in foul trouble in the first half, and never really recovered. Archie managed 4 assists, 2 blocks and 4 rebounds to round out his line.

Jarrod Polson - Polson was really very good in this game. He hustled, he was competent running the team, and was just a tough little cookie out there. His defense was much improved as well. 7 points on 3-5 shooting, an offensive rebound, assist, and steal.

Willie Cauley-Stein - Cauley-Stein had a up-and-down game. In the early part of the game he was pretty bad, but he got it going later and finished with a flourish, a couple of good plays on both ends of the floor. His line was 8 points on 3-4 shooting, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 2 turnovers.

Jon Hood - Hood played some quality minutes in this one, and played pretty well. He was 1-2 shooting, making one 3-pointer, and had a rebound.

[COLOR="Blue"]Overall Team Observations

- The good is that Kentucky really hustled this game, and one thing coaches love are teams that hustle. I think UK got almost every 50/50 ball in this contest, and that has not been the norm for this team so far. If this is the results of Camp Cal, all I can say is, "Faster, please."

- The offensive execution in this game was not very good at all. Bad shot selection, missed wide-open shots, flawed passing, no decision-making... I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Yes, sometimes the offense looked pretty good, but it was way too inefficient. The second half was much better than the first, but I'm kind of particular about wanting two decent halves back to back.

- Kentucky's defense in the first half was execrable also. They allowed the Bisons to shoot nearly 50% in the first half, and players were biting on fakes, failing to close out on threes, allowing post up plays for scores and failing to offensive rebound. The second half, they played correctly, and much better, so I suppose we can take comfort from that. Inconsistency, though, has been and continues to plague this team on both sides of the court.

- Really happy to see the Wildcats communicate better. It wasn't a lot better. Baby steps.[/COLOR]

Kyle can play good against no name teams. He's that kind of player. But when you need him he will be no where to be found.

[Stardust]

^ You Kentucky HATER! How dare you say something BAD about anything UK! This is pure blasphemy! If you don't love 100% EVERYTHING about UK, then you are NOT a fan!!!





For those who need help with the above....

Jon Hood FTW, id love to see him and Polson both be productive for this team.

[Stardust]

^ Who would like to see them be productive! Hell, at this stage, should we hope that all of them are productive????

Keep the excellent analysis up, J-Rod. For some us that aren't able to watch some of the games due to work engagements, you have created a picture of everything to keep us in the loop on Kentucky. :Thumbs:

[Stardust]

^ Well, Glen Logan does a great job.....

[Overrated]

I always thought that was J-Rod writing them. :Sad04:

[LWC]

^Same here.

[RunItUpTheGut]

What a fraud nicker:

[Mr. Pike Central]

What a fraud nicker:

You are the biggest asshole on this entire forum.

Consider this my farewell from BGR.

[Overrated]

You are the biggest asshole on this entire forum.

Consider this my farewell from BGR.

I agree, He is...gets me suspended all the time.

[RunItUpTheGut]

You are the biggest asshole on this entire forum.

Consider this my farewell from BGR.

You atleast have to wait until after the Bama/ND game.

[RunItUpTheGut]

What about getting mad because someone catches you plagiarizing.

Dusty, your going to have to be more considerate. He did take the time to post it.

[RunItUpTheGut]

I agree, He is...gets me suspended all the time.

You got yourself suspended once.

[Strikeout King]

You are the biggest asshole on this entire forum.

Consider this my farewell from BGR.

J-Rod you can't leave, we need someone to talk Wrestling with




I always thought J-Rod was a pretty good guy, didn't bother no one.

[Stardust]

Are we seriously having drama over this? Who cares where the information comes from, it's great information. Just make sure we post the links, because our site can get in trouble for it (especially when its an instate blog).

We have actually have a rule about it that I don't want us to get in trouble over: 5. Don't advertise competitor or commercial sites via text or in any images/avatars/signatures.

[Westside]

I'm not taking sides here because along with Sk I honestly think everybody involved are some of the coolest guys on the site but everybody has gotten so freakin sensitive on here. I hardly post anything any more unless it's EKU stuff because every time you do people are taking it personal. I hope J Rod doesn't leave, but I also see Dusty's point, and I thought Gut's comment was harmless and funny.

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
It was. I was just being sarcastic, hint the little laughing head next to it.

Maybe he was just having a bad day, or whatever, but in all seriousness, there are way to many people that take this place way to seriously, and the first time they feel they are getting made fun of, they snap.


Point being, we dont know who you really are, so why does it matter?

[FBALL]

I think gut is just an asshole.

Stardust just hates everything UK.

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
No arguing there.
I never denied the post :biggrin:

[Spirit100]

No arguing there.
I never denied the post :biggrin:

You should be placed on double secret probation and your penalty should be to change your your sig to a Marilyn Monroe pic in honor of J-rod nicker: .

Lot of folks are having issues, wonder why : shootings, end of world theory, the holiday season alone elevates stress. I'd like to think J-rod returns without issue. Hopefully soon I'm having Marilyn withdrawal.

[RunItUpTheGut]

^
I think it would have to be a Kurt Russell photo.
Maybe hes preparing for doomsday. He only has 3 days left.

[Ballers]

Well honestly if I was posting something like that I'd probably put a link just because I wouldn't want anyone thinking it was me or I was trying to take credit for it so I get that part.

But I'm with RunIt and Westside on this one. I thought the pokes where funny from SD and the rest. J-Rod was just trying to hard I guess.
I like J-Rod tho, but I mean cmon. If your stealing someone elses work show the link lol..

Anyways, onto the game.
Wiltjer will be the leader of this team.
To whoever said he's nowhere to be found in big games well the same stuff was said about D. Miller and he did great.
Kyle Wiltjer will be that guy. With time he will be dunking on people and getting more aggressive. By tourney time UK will be ready to kick the dog piss out of someone.

And since we have an awkward silence I think vundy should come here and cuss someone out so it will make everyone feel better.

[#1 Blackcat Fan]

^lmao

Come on J-rod. Dont be a quiter man. Thats for AA members. SD was just busting your chops and of course your take on the games. Lol i had to.

In all seriousness did you expect to do that for a whole season and no one catch on? It's no big deal man. You gotta have thick skin on this site. Fight back bro, fight back.
