Second Half

Throughout the second half of most games, we have seen the young Cats pull away. But there have been plenty of times where Kentucky has built a comfortable lead, and let the other guys scratch back to make things interesting (LSU). When Kentucky has a battle on their hands, real Big Blue fans stay on the edge of their seat, and stay screaming at Isaiah Briscoe to stop touching the basketball. Michael agrees:

With about five minutes left in the game, Kentucky tries to shoot themselves in the foot. Missed lob attempts make us furious.

"“Why can’t you just make the simple play!” -Cats Fans after a missed alley-oop attempt"

Then there are times in which De’Aaron Fox throws one at the rim from half court with Bam Adebayo on the other end throwing it down.

"“Whooooaaaaaa!!!! Did you just see that?!” -Same fans after successful alley-oop attempt"

Its always an uphill battle with the craziest fan base in all of college basketball. Coach Cal said it himself, “You guys are crazy.”
