Topic: Herd That vs La Familia (Kentucky Alumni) Game Thread (7/23 - 9PM)

[GoHerd35]

Seemed to be enough interest with the last two TBT games to garner a game thread for those of us able to watch.

HerdThat is awful defensively and plays very sloppy on offense.

[Herd72]

KY alums already shooting fouls in the bonus.

[GoHerd35]

La Familia 38, Herd That 30, halftime. La Familia is way too physical for Herd That and getting them into foul trouble.

[herdorbust2]

HerdThat plays to much me ball. And armored isn't near the player he used to be. Mumford best player on the team imo.

[Herd72]

Jon Elmore is playing more and more like Ott Elmore. 0-7 from the field and 1-2 from the line so far. Every single shot is short.

It's just street ball like we have been seeing from the Herd the last few years. No execution of any plays at all. This is a good example of why coaching matters. You can have talent on a team but without team ball and execution it doesn't work.

La Familia has the most talented TBT roster of all time. Literally full of guys who were 5-star recruits and they aren't over the hill, either.

Too big, too talented. They might go ice cold and lose next game, but they will be a tough out.

To the marshall fans that supported us and rooted us on. Thank you. We did our best to represent Marshall to the best of our abilities.

Thanks Ot!

Sucks we lost but proud of you guys and always love Marshall.

Go Herd!

It?s a steep uphill battle to play UK Alums, whom have had the best college program for the last decade, at home, in Lexington in front of their home fans.

It would be like playing an Alabama alumni football team in Tuscaloosa

Bledsoe was a beast.  Unstoppable.

Don't know about you guys but all through the game when they talked about La Familia,
 
I kept getting the urge for Italian.

It was a fun ride.  I enjoyed watching Kane again. 

In the La Familia game, I wish Ot would have played Stevie and West sooner.  I understand that Jon is his brother and a star of Herd That, but on nights when Jon is cold, he is cold.  I also think we needed a body like Kelly.  When JaCorey got into foul trouble, our offense died.  Again, it was a fun ride to watch.

The UK team was shooting 3s -- far out 3s -- at an unbelievable rate.  When we cut it to 5 early in the 3rd I thought we'd have a chance.  Then the 3s started raining down and it was over.  Valiant effort.  Nothing to hang your head about.

OT,

Thank you for the time and effort both you and John put into this.

Yeah, the UK team is easily the best I've ever seen watching the TBT. I don't think anyone was ever beating them in Rupp, and I'll be surprised if they don't win it all. And as mentioned, their 2nd half shooting was just silly.
