Go Cards!
I was at the Ole Miss game and they looked good for about five minutes. They’re driving me crazy at this point with the Jeckyll/Hyde crap.
BTW, if I miss the beginning of the game because channel 12 in Cincinnati doesn’t switch, I’m going to be highly upset.

Go Cards!
I’m pretty excited about this one. Hopefully we knock down some shots early and keep Freedom Hall rockin’ for the full 40 minutes. Off topic: What was up with that 40 point beatdown Marquette gave Cincy? Marquette really good, or Cincy really bad?

Worried...
… to have Samardo out this early. Good team defense so far.

Someone needs to hurt Meeks
I don’t care if it gets a T, he deserves to be hurt.
I’m kidding of course, but seriously, get him out of the game. Draw some fouls or something.

Foul much?
Preston makes a three, guards the inbound tightly, gets pushed so the KY guard can get the ball and figures he can guard tightly and gets called for a touch foul in close. It’s this kind of inconsistent refereeing that kills players and that you are taught to avoid as a ref.
BE CONSISTENT!

And Knowles has two
It does not look good in the long run

T Will
once again is very very disappointing
Go Cards!

Maybe with Stevenson on the bench
we can start getting some rebounds.

I would prefer not to jinx it
Especially since halftime is a long time to rest up.

why dont we put twill on meeks, hes our best defender
by njcard on Jan 4, 2009 5:16 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He has been through part of the game
I don’t know why he isn’t now.

I like Sosa's playing today
I want to believe this is a turning point for him, and ergo, the team.
by CARD_G6 on Jan 4, 2009 5:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Smart play by t-will
To foul with .8 seconds left. that was a real heady play by him.
by blopez0487 on Jan 4, 2009 5:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
i'm a little worried
that we are only up 3. i would rather not watch E5 and t-will jack up threes. i would, however, like to see us hit the glass a little harder. enough uk offensive rebounds
by cardscott5 on Jan 4, 2009 5:29 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Some good, some bad
Overall a decent 1st Half. Solid halfcourt defense, as usual. Excellent FT shooting… don’t know where that came from, but hells yeah! But, lousy rebounding is allowing UK to hang around. Fix that and it could be a blowout. When McGee and Sosa slash down the lane, good things usually happen. More of that + better rebounding = comfortable win. Without improvements (or with a defensive letdown) and it’s anybody’s game.

Jennings and Goode
I’m glad SS sat early. I think E5 was too tired and Swop should have rested him.

Samardo can't catch the ball...
Earl is playing his typical lazy game…TWill is a ghost, when he’s not turning it over with his moronic shot selections….we suck
Go Cards!

i like dunks just as much as the next guy
but in a game this close you gotta make sure you get the ball in the basket. that dunk attempt by t-will wasn’t even close to goin in..
on the other hand, if it did go in, the place would have erupted.
by blopez0487 on Jan 4, 2009 5:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Great pass
by Earl to get the ball to a wide-open T-Will.
by mabake02 on Jan 4, 2009 5:52 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
T-Will's 3's are giving us this game so far
I didn’t think I would ever get the opportunity to say that.

you have to wonder...
how many times patterson will score on that play
by blopez0487 on Jan 4, 2009 5:58 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
He's killing us on both sides of the court.
by CARD_G6 on Jan 4, 2009 5:59 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Killing us might be a stretch
But he’s certainly played better.

hmm..
anybody else just see billy g’s face light up when he looked over to see t-will had rolled his ankle?

"A good non-call" -- WTF?
NO. It was NOT a good non-call. He gathered the ball and then took two step. This is what we like to call travelling in modern basketball.

I haven't figured out who I hate worse yet
Meeks, Patterson, the refs, or CBS. It’s really anyone’s game right now.
by CARD_G6 on Jan 4, 2009 6:22 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Well
The game is within our reach with 4 minutes left. Good shots and good defense will close it out. Cut down on the fouls and increase the ball movement on offense, and continue to get our hands up and move our feet on defense.
I know, I know, it sounds like I’ve got a secret mic in the huddle right now :)

I am taking Edgar to dinner
Buy him a steak, flowers, then make sweet sweet love to him!!!!!!!!
Go Cards!

This just might be Edgar's break out game this season
Even if it isn’t, I would still marry him.

I *almost*
wish that hadn’t happened. I fear that will be worth about three bad Edgar losses in the BE.

hopefully not
maybe he has learned..lets hope so at least
by blopez0487 on Jan 4, 2009 6:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
i hope
the light turned on for him and it keeps glowing. i haven’t checked the box score, but he didn’t really turn it over much and he really picked his spots. SOSA!!!!!

foul on meeks
I was afraid i was going to have to disown Jerry Smith for the foul on Meeks, in spite of all his 3s. Cardiac Cards live again…

How sweet it is....
what a great win for the CARDS and the fans. I don’t think we could have taken a loss to yUK after all we’ve been through lately. I am happy for Edgar, happy for the team and OMG am I happy for the fans…..HAPPY NEW YEAR AND GO CARDS; BEST IN THE STATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great win, Cards
That was an incredible shot by Sosa. He played out of his gourd today, and Kentucky.
Thanks for making the game interesting for the last 2 minutes, though.

"...and Kentucky..."
…couldn’t find a good defender for him.
by TheFakeGimelMartinez on Jan 4, 2009 7:09 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Not to forget T-Will
…who had a great game and couldn’t be stopped.
You guys shot remarkably above average in 3PT and FT (I think). Just an outstanding effort from the Cards. I’m glad my Cats were able to claw back and finish strong.

T WIll what?
Subpar game for him, and that’s being nice
Go Cards!
by Red Rage on Jan 5, 2009 12:30 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
t-will shot the ball great for him from 3,i think,,,
but the foul with 0,8 on the clock was pathetic,,,,,plus he made a couple more stupid rebounding fouls giving uk free throws. it’s like he doesn’t know what being in the penalty on fouls means.

I'm sorry
but I made a deal with Beelzebub… you’ll all have to sacrifice your firstborns on a homemade altar within the next 24 hours. If you’re true fans, you’ll make the poor chillins understand why it has to be this way.

Wow.
I haven’t jumped up and down and cheered like that all season. It’s nice to have a genuine reason to smile and whoop and holler for the Cards!

Saw you down there before the game
But was too busy hugging and high-fiving random people to pay attention to the court afterward.
by Mike Rutherford on Jan 4, 2009 10:19 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Just back from game: That was a great game, a wild crowd, and an amazing ending
Edgar Sosa — just amazing
Jerry —back with 3 for 3 on 3’s
we shot 46% on 2’s, 55% on 11 for 20 3’s , and 82% on free throw.
Ball movement was good , except for several ill-advised one-on-two or three’s by Earl in the second half (and his 7 TO’s)
Just a really well-played game by both teams.

Thank the gods,,,,,,,,
for sosa’s shot going in or me and Big Earl would have still been cryin’!! I didn’t see earl after the game but i hope he was celebrating like everyone else and not too down on himself, even though all those turnovers were ridiculous. He should buy edgar whatever he wants!

Awesome
Might be the best UL/UK game I’ve been to. Blow outs are awesome and all, but this was pure ecitement from start to finish.
Nice to see the young guys get some minutes in this game. Williams was awsome, and Sosa showed why he is our best guard when he plays within himself. All in all, this game is great exp for down the road.

post the audio of paul rogers call of sosa’s shot or tell me where i can listen to it at.
