******Boogs at Kentucky Official Game Thread******

[MomentInTheSun]

Time to fire this one up as we’re only a slim 50ish hours away from tip off in Rupp Arena. Huge opportunity for the suddenly streaking HYGs to pull off a monster road win against our biggest blue blood rivals, the Kentucky Wildcats. Good news for us, their ugliest and most hulking specimen looks to be missing this game with a knee injury so hopefully the Boogs can take and really dominate on the boards.

Huge game for our potential tourney seeding and just for the HYGs’ confidence in general.

Legggggoooooo

I was thinking about this game last night. I know we all hate slow starts, but the LSU game showed me that quick starts aren't always to our advantage on the road. I wonder if we would be better to have a slow start and make a run late? Is this a crazy thought?

I don't like anyone to be hurt but I am glad I don't have to see that unsavory mug during this one.

I'd rather boog throughout.

Showcase game for Dr C. PJ Washington been ballin lately.

They’re pretty thin in the front court without Reid. Although I don’t think we really play in a way that could get them in foul trouble.

Rebound, limit the TOs and we can come out of there with a W.

@tennessee game last year says you might be onto something. Although it takes a mature and fundamentally strong team to win consistently on the road. Don't know if we are there yet, but we're improving!

My oldest young Boog will be traveling up & taking this one in. Was at Chapel Hill last Monday for UNC-UVA (must be nice).
HERE I honor my great friend and Momma Goldberg tailgate Buddy John Caylor. His dying love for the Boogs, evident in his 3-point basket to beat the #1 ranked Kats on January 9, 1988 53-52. Such a stud donning that porn stache

It's really easy to imagine Malik saying that to Bruce.

Long overdue change. Love Bruce, but its been apparent for a month or more that Malik was giving us drastically more production/minute.

Good Malik can be very good, and we had a lot of good Malik on Wednesday.

Agreed. Even when malik isn’t playing great, he’s still bringing energy to the floor and he’s a big play waiting to happen. No one else on the team has his big play upside. I think we will get more from Samir in this role as well. Get him some open looks from 3 and let him focus on being a spot up shooter.

I also think we will start to see more Samir at the two, which is what I expect him to play next year if he doesn't transfer. I feel like his lack of athleticism won't hurt him there as much, but maybe that is just wishful thinking.

 

[Denim Vest]

I rather see Jvon at 2. Young buck is a whirlwind that can get to the goal, rebound throw some weak ass Vandy shit to close a half. Hit step back 3s that don’t have some fugged up sidespin.

While Samir busy getting his trash thrown across the court Jvon try to thunder flush one on some hapless oaf.

Just lost it in the office.

Samir is a good spot up shooter. If he is playing the 2 off the bench, we should get him a few open looks per game and he could knock down some big shots for us. Driving to the basket needs to become a much more rare occurrence.

On next year, Jhead on the bunker says it sounds like Cooper will reclassify. If he does and if we land him, he should be our starting 2 next year with J running the point. I really hope J does not leave to start his overseas career early. He's the key to us not taking a step backward next year, imo. A 4 year starter at point would be a massive advantage for us.

The Kraft story has inspired me, Boogs by a handful. 79-74.

Line opened at AU +7.5

Sound about right with Travis out. Probably would have been 10-11 with him available. I wouldn't touch it given how inconsistent we've been. I could see us going in there and putting a complete game together and winning by 10+ and I could also see us losing by 20.

Doesn’t help much when it takes 2.5 seconds to get one in the air

Boogs haven’t loss by more than 8 since San Diego last year. This line is trash as Grant Williams’ flop and chunk. Boogs cover with ease.

By the way, it’s game day somewhere in the Atlantic, boner faces. Leggo.

Ole Miss in Oxford clapped the boogs

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Game day you bunch of boner faces!!!


Legggggoooooo get that dub

 

[Denim Vest]

Oh God a dub today would right a lot of wrongs this season. Would get us back in the rankings, into the top 5 range as far as seeding and have our boogs brimming with confidence for a run to Minneapolis.

I hope the person that runs Boog B-ball productions never leaves. We easily have the highest quality vids out there

Boogs finally getting a much deserved early CBS game where no OT can deny the GREG of it's rightful veiwage. Notice how this TOURNAMENT network gives great teams 2 hours & 15 minutes between games. LET'S DO THIS B!TCHES!!

 

[Denim Vest]

Lord this some damn bullshit they got some UVA game on till 2 gotta get this trash CBS stream up.
