UK vs. Illinois State (Second Half Comment Thread)
Well, that was ugly. Without Tyler Ulis, Kentucky looked totally lost on both sides of the floor, trailing Illinois State for the majority of the first half. The score is tied at 31 at halftime, and if Skal Labissiere and Jamal Murray don’t show up, it could get ugly.

Here….
So, second half will be better, right?
Cal’s got this. 😉
the commentator gave us a C-. I thought that was pretty generous.
I just ate soup straight out of a croc pot. Mondays, ammirite?
Crockpots are a bad omen, you should stay away
TT, so Cara/Kara Lawson’s shirt……opinion?
Eh, not my favorite, but props to her for wearing blue.
I’d say it’s more of a green than blue, but I’ll admit, I’m not the best with colors.
Tyler makes everyone better on hype team.
Johnny Jones is making Ben Simmons say “What was I thinking?” Coll of Charleston leading LSU 43-26.
Murray is alive!
Better offensive movement…
Lee getting the start in the second half seems to have improved things.
Bristle doesn’t like to pass
*Briscoe
Tyler want’s to come in….flexing dem bones
Shooter’s rolleth
Which Cardinal bird logo is worse, this one, UofL, or the Arizona Cardinals?
The red one
Why does everyone insist on giving a cardinal teeth? Birds don’t have teeth! Dumbasses.
Dom getting good minutes
Why the mix of blue and white shoes – do the starters getteth the white ones?
Aww, Ellen Calipari is the Y
Anyone watching this Badlands show?
Ellen’s doing the “Y” for her birthday. How precious
Haven’t seen Dancing Guy posts…..whats up?
Cal scoreth major brownie points. #puns
(Nick….there is a joke in there somewhere)
Probably not a good joke though
I literally lol’d on that one Crewser
Kara Lawson: “It’s big. It’s really big.”
So smoooooth
Briscoe looking a lot more comfortable now
Hate to say.. Alex has been over rated for long time… Nice kid and all, wish him all the best.. He’d get eaten alive in NBA I’m afraid.. Might do good in Europe..
Sweet Jesus, Alex Poythress’ stare-down after a block is terrifying
I am sorry Thread People… I am posting like it is a live blog…….where every comment isn’t posted.
no need to apologizeth. I getteth withdrawls from lack of activity.
Seriously, just go with it. When they quit being good we’ll let you know
TT,are the seats right behind press row any good for basketball games in Tuscaloosa? Looking at buying some for Kentuxky game.
If I remember correctly, the press section is over in a corner by itself. Not too bad. Honestly, that place is so small it doesn’t matter. Almost every seat is decent.
At least Alex is hustling. He’s just not finishing. Frustrating.
He frustrates the heck out of me but damn, Alex hustles
Jinx!
uhg…I want Willis to hit all of those….so he can stay in the game.
I cringe every time marcus lee stares at his hands in disbelief after not catching the ball
He needs some stick’um
I feel like there’s a willie played football/dorian baker can’t catch hybrid joke here somewhere
Why is Alex wearing stockings?? Don’t think I have seen that before.
‘Tis the season
I nearly lost all control of my bodily functions when Alex dove for that ball out of bounds and started to grab his leg/knee.
This team needs Ulis badly. They’re too talented to play hero ball.
Skal could use one more use one more year to beef up and really play….but he will go $$$$$$
Jamal Murray needs to be held back from fighting damn near every game, and I love it
wooooowa
Thought that was going to be ugly for a second. Credit Alex for getting to Murray quickly and getting him out of the area.
Does this commentator guy write his own material, or what?
Charles Matthews hath serious ups
#MiniTrap…….(Nick…there is a joke in there somewhere)
Matthews pulling a Poythress rebound.

ALEX giving effort
Poor Skal
UK is winning by 16? See people, no need to worry, THEY GOT THIS
Much better guys. Like the fight.
Time for some Blue/White/Blue/White/Blue/White/Blue/White…. GOBIGBLUE!!!
Dancing Guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dancing guy grindeth down the rail #shudders
Hope Tyler’s mom brought the Purell
Halftime adjustments such a novel concept.
Once I join AARP…retire and move back to KY……get season tickets……watch out hand rail!
murray needs to wrapped in bubble tape
ShannonTheDude may not….but Kara is ok with me. She does better with another play by play though.
That dude’s talkin’ mad shit about the Waffle House.
How long as that guy been sitting on his Waffle House line?
UKCrewser’s on fire tonight!!!
Dominique is looking a little flustered out there, wasting dribbles, mishandling passes
I like this Illinois State team. Playing hard and challenging us.
Dude. This announcer and his awful jokes.
Don’t say that around Kyle Tucker
Even though I’m all about awful jokes, they should’ve gotten UKCrewer to help them out with their material
He’d do great in the Catskills! 50 years ago….
After 30 minutes of game action, Skal attempts hist first shot.
these espnu announcers suck
MARCUS LEE the hustle, then the peck pound
This is why we needed a punch in the mouth.
*frantically creates Urban Dictionary definition for Peck Pound*
that moment you’re really mad at Marcus Lee, but realize you forgot to get your wife a bday present.
When all said and done tonight, all we will be able to say is a Win is a Win…. Thank God for all the W’s……
Time to see if they have the will to clamp down and put a team away, or if they let them hang around.
This ISU team is good enough to hang around. UK has to keep attacking the offensive glass and scrapping for points on a poor shooting night
I miss the the mouth guard
I agree with KFG….#AlmostFamous
People paid good money to watch IB dribble
Drew, what are the chances we add another recruit to next years class?
Getting hot in Rupp, finally had to unbutton the top button of my dress shirt. Don’t know why I waited this long
Thats just the heat radiating from the 70in flat screen pretending to be your laptop.
Brown belt with those pants are not working Illinois State coach
CRAPE CRAPE CRAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 awful possessions….I mean, 3….
or 4. I lost count…
GREAT blocketh by Briscoe
Look, it’s Roush!
I think my laptop is larger than my torso
Still awaiting moderation
Alex kinda got burned on that crossover
This guy has gone to the Yoda school of commentary
The guy behind me might just run out onto the court and punch the refs in the face before the night is over. He is NOT happy with their decisions
Youth really on display tonight. Very talented youth, but they definitely have some growing to do.
Murray looking to take this over
You have a BIG……….laptop
You know what they say about big laptops????
It’s not the size of the laptop….
Big backpacks
Engageth beast mode
Can I change my name to Awaiting Moderation?
Your name setteth off more alarms than a masked man at Genesis Diamonds
You won’t need moderation unless you change your picture…
We can wrap Tyler Ulis in bubble wrap between games, right?
Sure hope Ulis is back for the UCLA game….. Very obvious we need him badly!!
……..I just have a tablet Nick. It’s touch screen though!!!
Well I’m looking forward to driving up north for Thursday’s game. Any of you guys going?
That’s 5 or 6 times in this game that the refs have blown the whistle and stopped the game for no discernible reason.
RRRRRROOOOAAARRRReth!!
Its a tossup as to which is worse: announcing or officiating.
I was hoping to take my frustrations out on ISU after that heinous loss against the dirty birds.
Hopefully Thursday will be better
….Go to the lights….
Look to the lights!!!!
HUTCHERSON!!!!
Not too bad when you don’t have your best player and it’s still going to be a comfortable win
Hutcherson Inda hizzy again?
I haven’t seen him. He’s sneakier than a cat. We need to put a bell on that guy
And LSU just lost to Charleston. Wow.
We have tickets in Baton Rouge for that game. Thanks KSR for the link!
Ulis keeps looking at Cal with that “put me in Coach” look on his face
Been a hell of a week in the Red Stick. Les and now this loss
Officiating really seems to be on the side of UK. 40 free throws to 6….. I am for UK, but it is lopsided.
Why is Ulis going White-T? Is that a thing?
What the hell are these announcers talking about? Just terrible
He has the inside scoop on the 3am Waffle House happenings. Like he knoooowwwwsss.
Mark Jones…..Paid advertisement for BroadcastSync.com
Announcers definitely hitting the Over on the Terrible Puns total
Forlorn Willis. Same countenance on the bench.
Geez LSU win a couple games. I’m sure we’ll see the same LSU team when we play them.
Thanks TT, Thanks Nick. See ya Thursday!!!. Hear Ya Wednesday Nick!!!!
This guy is hilarious, in his own mind.
In his mind it is always 3am at the Waffle House.
That could be part of the problem…
Could make a drinking game out of it. Waffle House mention – Drink. Murray is from Canada – Drink. Rupp is unusually quiet – Drink. They sure need Ulis – Drink.
I like it
We we not already engageth in said game?
Lobbeth city
Dawn1… great comments and cuts the grease all in one!
The end of this game is taking forever, but we’ll wrap her up. Stick around for Calipari talking about how much this team needs Ulis.
Someone trying to bring an odd version of free throw Yip out late in the game
In the history of the world, from the very beginning, no one has ever been as bad at their job as this hack calling this game.
What was that chant?
30th???
Go CAYTS
Glazed and ready to be sliced.
Drink.
Cats. 7-0.
BBN
Dawn1 finishes the game strong.
Lol. Cute and funny. Maybe we can get Dawn to do the games?
Bruins Suck! Go Cats!!!
