Kentucky at Florida (Second Half Comment Thread)
Skal Labissiere and fouls were the story of the first half in Gainesville. Skal got the start and looked like a totally different player, pitching in six points and six rebounds before picking up a second foul with ten minutes left. At halftime, Kentucky has a 36-32 lead, but looked pretty horrible there towards the end.
Hopefully they can get back on track in the second half. And stop fouling. Right now, Kentucky has 12 fouls to Florida’s 3.

Get excited people! It is March and you all know what that means!
Tax day is fast approaching and it is very important that you supply the government with your tax information before some day in April. You also still have time to contribute to an IRA for the previous year, provided you had enough taxable income! The government does a lot for folks like you and me and this is our chance to give back to good old Uncle Sam!
I guess this basketball game is going to continue, so pay attention to that as well.
It’s April 18th this yr
I do enjoy roads and bridges.
Tyler third in minutes just looks weird
20 minutes to see how this season ends…
So, are we going to get screwed just as hard in the second half as we did the first?
LETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Joe Lunardi’s gargantuan mouth could lift Vitale up by his slick bald dome.
We need to quit acting like we’re the team in the state that won’t be playing in the tourney.
wow
My son who is in the army thanks you for your tax dollars
Let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOO
That looked like Tubby Smith offense
Brizzy needed to shoot that
Skal fouled
He was mugged. Friggin bullshit.
Four turnovers for Murray
7 rebounds for Skal!
Skal pulling them down!
Lord.
Brisc fouled
Briscoe again!!
Be. Agressive. B. E. Agressive!
#13 makes shots…….
Briscoe from one step inside the three point line is the best shot in basketball.
I like this making shots Briscoe.
Where are the Briscoe haters?
B E A G G R E S S I V E
Dickie V calling it like it is: “Let’s face reality: this is a good Kentucky team. This is not a great Kentucky team”
About time they renovated ODonnell. This gym with the goal supports right on top of the court cost us our best player in 2013.
Sure why would you call a T for fans throwing their signs on the floor.
dang Skal hacked
A foul on UF??? what?
Skal’s hands remind me of one of those claw machines. He’ll get ahold of the ball, everything looks good, but as soon as he has to move it drops right out.
I think the refs may have received a phone call telling them to call it both ways.
See they would’ve called a foul on us there
This is going to be a long 2nd half.
Skal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SKAL!!!
Spider monkey Skal
Lottery
Who is this Skal guy?
He’s the tall one on the Kentucky team.
Skal for POY
Crowd doesn’t like seeing the calls getting evened up.
Crowd can suck it.
Eat It…..D
How a 6’8″ player can shoot under 20% at the rim is beyond me
Because there other 6’8″ and above guys trying to block his shot, maybe?
Is Skal the kid from New Zealand? Should’ve been playing this whole time!!
Sarcasm
Holy crap! They can call a foul on Florida! I was beginning to wonder.
This is certainly within the rules.
Murray
Tyler I could really use a good rant against Florida’s female mascot Alberta.
She is terrible, completely pointless.
Cats just peeled out of Finney-Smith’s way
man they are killing us on the baseline
So, my dog just tore up one of her favorite chew toys. I’m worried.
She’s just pissed at the refs, Tyler.
Was it a Beanie Baby Doug Sirmons?
Murray is going to get hot and finish with 23….I can feel it
We need it
It’s probably a lot easier to dunk when you can do a few shuffle steps to get closer to the rim and KNOW that the other team can’t really defend you since they get a foul called for being in the general vicinity.
So Ebuganuganu can just throw his body into our guys to move them out of the way but if we stand our ground they will call a foul? Hmmm…
Shannon!
What the heck is a Degree Tracker?
I think I saw it in a deodorant commercial
That is a LOT of vinegar and water in one small arena.
A quick update from Kentucky’s bench: Kentucky’s players and coaches are there. They also have some beverages and towels. Bench is actually a bunch of chairs and not an actual bench. This concludes your update from Kentucky’s bench.
Skal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they had handed out shock collars.
11
The gator chomp is stupid.
Actual alligators would disagree. They use that technique to consume food and that keeps them alive. Pretty important.
Just needs 2 rebounds
Spake wearing Blue dress for UK……
Ulis 3!!
Mentally Weak
Boom
EAT IT DREW!
It’s like we could get shot and a foul would not be called
Here we go!
Go Skal
Hell yes son!
Ulis fouled on that 3 too
Ulis never stops coaching, talked to Skal on the way into the timeout
Have I let it be known that I love Shannon’s dimples?
So our offense is looking better with Skal in the game? Why did this take so long?!?
Cuz Skal was a shrinking violet until tonite
“Every time!” TU to Skal. I’d like that
It took so long because Skal didn’t want to play the last 23 games……
Damn
9 more points and Skal will have the 20 I predicted. Or did I say double double. Because he’s only 2 rebounds away from that.
Hawk!!
Hawk!!!!
Hawk!
The Hawk!!!!!!!!!
BS!!
Hawkins and Briscoe hitting jumpers and we play zone? Weird
That’s our ball…..
Feels like the first time Ulis to Lee hasn’t been automatic.
Lob too high. Good thought though
I’ll admit, I am not fond of Florida’s dunks. However, as long as we are winning, I will not let it get to me too badly.
7 players have scored what a difference a game makes.
Hold this lead guys!!
Fun Hawk Fact: Hawks are often mistaken for Falcons with are pretty much the same thing so I guess it doesn’t matter.
Is that because they both play in Atlanta?
CRAPE
dam
Another one running right through Murray in front of the official with no call.
3rd foul on Lee
what a ticky tack call!!
Skal has a nice stroke from up to 15′. 15′ – 19′, not so much
The refs are embarrassing…..it is really bad, just so y’all know..
“No doubt about it ” F you, Dickie V.
These refs blow almost as much as Big Board Update
Then there’s the other guy who comes JUST to complain about fans complaining about the officials.
#RentFree
#yousuck
#lotsapeckers
#uhave
#nolife
#howwould
#youknow
I muted as soon as I saw his stupid face.
It’s been about a minute of game time without an Egbunu dunk
We know Crewser…we know…horrible
come on!
Poythress just looks really out of it tonight.
What else is new…he’s so enigmatic
Murray 3!!
We have more ‘and 1’s’ called against us than any team ever
Here comes out boy Murray!
dammmm
In my opinion these referees are wearing all of the proper equipment. Hard to complain.
Early in the year would any UK fan have thought we’d actually be happy with Poythress getting 6 rebounds and 6 points.
If Florida could shoot free throws, we’d really be in trouble.
Briscoe got flat pushed down. No call.
Been telling y’all not to sleep on Skal
literally laughed out loud
Wow, what was that call? Scratch that, last two calls?
bout time
Not sure Poythress will ever b the Y….
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
It hit the freakin’ rim. Ugh.
It went off the rim you idiot.
That looked like it hit the rim to me
That hit the rim, no?
Skal with 4
did we foul him after he fell down??
The floor fouled him but they called it on us
The ref blew the whistle before the shot clock buzzer went off
In my opinion the ball hit the rim. But at the end of the day, everybody sure is having a good time.
It hit the rim.
Skal fouls like I pick my nose….bout 4 times every few minutes
TU fouled
each game, the refs are worse than the game before. That’s the first shot clock violation I’ve ever seen on a ball that hit the rim
Damn I really want Skal to get his double double
we are damn lucky they cannot shoot FT’s
Kentucky was doing too well, refs have to throw their weight around again. It’s our fault, really.
Not tonight refs. I have a headache.
ha
Lol.
Funniest of the night
Murray fouled
made first
Just when Tyler scores, they call the foul and wave the bucket.
Murray is getting guarded like a mutha
and second
That old guy sure a had a nice sign. One of the best I’ve seen.
He is trying so hard.
Murray 3!
Bow and Arrow again!
Hell to the YES!!
Robin Hood
dunk again
guess a dunk is better than an and 1
Unbelievable how many dunks we have given up
How about a technical when they throw shit on the floor
Poy!!
Keep playing like this!
Alex walk?
yes…makes up for the non walk last game they called
That was so smooth and Poythress almost blew it
Except he didn’t…
GBB GBB GBB
He was over the freaking back
SERIOUSLY?
I’ll be surprised if they don’t figure out a way to T up Murray for the bow and arrow thing before the year is over.
MT98, I think we got a call there……..
Murray shot that last arrow right at Tyler. Tyler is far too important to this team to take a silly risk like that.
ESPN loves the aerial shots of Florida’s sports complex
So now a guard can’t even have their hands on the ball near the rim and a guy is coming over their back?
Only because he wears a UK jersey Dawn
Exactly.
GBB chant
Murray 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over the back is not an official rule btw
Really? I did not know that.
By the official foul rule it is a foul 100% of the time though.
Only if the person behind p ushes
Lee!!!
The Yuengling tweak is working…just saying
This is now mojo. Stock up.
Fouls we don’t need no stinkin fouls
Shout-out to Tom Leach for yelling BULLSEYE after Murray’s threes tonight.
(Winking face)
Murray needs more arrows
This is a slippery slope. What’s next? Missiles? That certainly isn’t putting safety first.
Right now Kentucky is winning more than they have been winning the whole time they’ve been winning in this game.
Is the Murray arrow better than the Walker shimmy? The DA shoulder boogie?
No and no
Best UK celebration?
How can a team possibly leave Jamal Murray open? But they do….
Ulis to Lee!
I guess Cal’s tweak wasn’t BS….
Poy fouled
I hope that young man’s hands hurt after tonight.
first good
I don’t want this season to end.
second good
Cal’s tweak was to let UF have all the dunks they want, they will get tired and then UK will win…..I gotta tell ya it makes me a little nervous
Is Egbunu the senior? Is that why we’re letting him have all these dunks?
(JK. I know it’s because we don’t want to get fouled)
According to my sources, we have shot 4 FT and they have shot 23…..
Ridiculous.
Poy!!!!
1 more piont
It really feels good to have a game where we don’t have to cap up
I need Skal to come back in and get his double double.
come on 71….
71 71 71 71 71 71 71
15 knows that he can pretty much do anything without getting called for a foul and he is taking full advantage.
No screaming eagle crap
Good
71 71 71
71
71!!
Dickie trolling Ashley Judd…..sick old man
71
second good,,,
There it is!
Briscoe went to Lee!
71! and on a Briscoe FT!
Brizzy on the line and makes them both!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see all the clips of 15 fouling throughout the game. He has fouled out at least twice if they call the actual rules of the game.
Wait…there are rules?
Oh Alex
And Alex misses another layup
Briscoe fouled out
Don’t think Alex can get the lift when he jumps due to his injury or maybe he is hesitant because of the injury
This isn’t a new phenomenon. He has been this way since he came to UK.
Solid UF nose pick
He’ll be ok as long as he keeps being aggressive.
These next 3 minutes and 45 seconds are brought to you by your local post office.
Your local post office: Mailing stuff is what we do so strop trying to do your own mailing and let us.
There needs to be 1:32 left in this game…….
dangg
This game isn’t over, the way we play down the stretch…
Hey Cal. I don’t ask for much and I don’t ever criticize you.
Please put Skal back in so he can get a DD.
How was that a foul on Ulis?
Our entire team is going to foul out
Know is when Cal is saying, “play winning basketball”…..I hope they hesr him.
Pretty balanced scoring, five UK players in double figures for the first time January
FTs are 26 – 8. That sounds pretty fair
Per usual
Good find TT!! LOL!
With the thumb. That’s an advanced move there.
This is a good example of the pick and roll.
Imagine being that guy at work tomorrow.
In a district game the other night a girl scored 72 of her team’s 80 points. Off topic but astounding
When we get to the tournament, will cats get a fair shake from the refs?
Doubtful based on history.
Murray 3 here
they fouled Briscoe on purpose
in the last 10 minutes, exactly 2 minutes has gone off the game clock. That;s ridiculous
Hack-a-Briscoe?
Shat!!!
Briscoe fouled again
Free throw from Briscoe!
made both
It feels like there’s an eternity left in this game.
It’s going to take an eternity if they keep calling fouls at this rate.
I’m watching the clock, it seems like its running extremely slow
Tweak
Wow, what is Briscoes ft percentage tonight?
5-6 or 83%
5 of 6. 83%
EAT IT Gators
Hmmmmm.
ODOME looks like it is emptying…
It would be kind of interesting if intentional fouls got Briscoe out of his season long free throw slump. The >70% his senior year couldn’t have been a fluke. Has to be mental.
Back off our Ulis, Chorizo
Coach Cal seems to be more clappy tonight and not as yelly.
Tweak
made both//
Isn’t Cherizo a spicy sausage?
Thought is was Chorizo
it’s now 3 minutes off the game clock in the last 15 minutes real time
It’s officially March
Here we go…….2:04 will take 23 minutes
That has to hurt when the officials try to give you the game with >30 free throws and you can’t close the deal.
Truth.
So who’s cheering for Auburn later tonight?
at 8:46, there was 5 min left.. now 9:02
Has The Hawk lost a step or is that guy fast?
Murray fouled….
Twice but I guess it’s nice they called the 2nd one.
first gooddd
made both…….
We should get a pretty good GBB before the end.
stupid
really CAYTS, really……..get some position
Just had to get one player fouled out. Ugh I hate these refs.
Lee is a really good kid, I hope he stays
Poythress got the double double but Skal was far more productive. His per minute stats blowing Poythress out of the water this game.
Don’t give them a 3 point play!
Murray is getting close to that 23
Murray doesn’t know he needs two for 20……keep the streak!
Go Skal!
Skal misses first
Was that technically a rebound for Skal? One more buddy, one more!
misses both
nice Hawk
Dickie V: (Labissierre) needs Kentucky more than Kentucky needs him. #Strong
I would say the same about DV.
Dawn1 for the slam dunk
Dawn’s on fire tonight!!!
Burn
Get 20 JM
are they going to foul right down to :00?
dumb foul
Skal still with 8 rebs
Just when you were worrying Jamal Murray wouldn’t get 20, he does. Nine straight 20+ games
oh boy
refs still working on their quotas
Holy bleep there is still a minute
Lee to the line
Geeeeezzzz enough already
Where in the heck is the bunker
The game that wouldn’t end…
in the last TWENTY-FOUR minutes, 4 minutes have gone off the clock. WOW
Do refs get paid by the hour?!?!
Or by the foul call?
Ule fouled
I’d like to have stock in a whistle company
They don’t change whistles every time they blow it.
Basketball is still happening.
I hate this game.
Maybe they want to lose by 100.
you know what I mean.
I have the TV muted and Joe Lunardi is still on my nerves.
I bet he’s a sloppy eater
The refs just don’t want to give up on the dream of a Florida victory.
The only good thing about this game lasting so long is its killing IU fans who’ve been banished to ESPNews
Holy crap Florida stop fouling!!! You lost!
it’s going to be halftime at the IU game before ESPN cuts to it
Murray hacked
FU FL, stop this shit
I’m not sure what opine the Florida coach is trying to make here
*point
Before it is over, if ever it is, been fun tonight. See you all Saturday GBB
makes 2nd
I’m concerned with Florida’s aggresive fouling in a clearly lost game getting somebody hurt.
That idiot just tackled Murray with 36 seconds to go down 11.
I officially hate their new coach even more than Eddie Munster now.
No. More. Basketball.
Basketball Excitement ®
over…
Why is Ulis still in? Take out our starters. We don’t need any rolled ankles or crap like that.
Yay!
FINALLY
Just let this game end, Gators! Man!
What no more hack fouls coach?
be careful if you have to drive guys! good road win
the last 5:20 took 32 minutes to play. Something needs to be done.
Whew. Goodness.
Go Cats.
Go Big Blue.
I’m behind watching on iPad I guess.
Geez. First game Vitale, second game Dakich. ESPN is going to hell
That was the most painful final five minutes of basket ball I’ve ever had to watch.
