***** UK-Texas A&M, Round 2, Game Thread *****
Join us here tonight for discussion of the UK-A&M game as the Cats try to avenge their previous loss to the Aggies and slow down Elston "40" Turner, who, BTW, has only 52 points over the last 5 games since that night. Go figure.

Thought about going with Archie myself. Leaned toward Kyle since he did so little in the last matchup.

15:56 1H - #Kentucky 5, Texas A&M 0. Cats holding Aggies to 0-for-6 FG, 2 TO early on.
Really good D on Turner, who has forced two long ones with a hand in his face.

Defense has been really strong early. Cats should be a few more points, though, it feels.
11:41 1H - Kentucky 9, A&M 4.

I think it is pretty ridiculous that ESPN switched to the KU-OKST game while the UK game was on. The UK game was scheduled they could've put KU-OKST on ESPN NEWS if they wanted people to be able to see it. Anyway pretty good play so far by the Cats, especially Noel (no surprise there)

A&M was HORRIBLE for the first 8 minutes of this game and trails only 9-7. Now the home crowd is getting into it.

It was ridiculous, especially to go back to the studio and talk about ANOTHER game before coming back to UK-A&M.  -----Jeff Drummond

Overall good half; we still cant shoot free throws, not sure why becasue I am pretty sure they practice them all the time; Poythress needs to gain confidence/get mean and take it to the basket like he means it; Goodwin is still an absolutely terrible outside shot

Wiltjer, Poythress, Goodwin have to start giving the Cats something on the offensive end.
