Here's the thing and I know game threads kind of get overly emotional and whatnot.
We did play like crap first half. We didn't shoot it well and looked completely disjointed at times. There was reason to be upset.
But thing is:
We played a team where we were like a 30 point favorite. In the history of college basketball, teams that are that large a favorite win like 99.999% of the time. UK plays Nichols 1 million times they win this game 999,999 times.
Lets flip this tho a second:
Let's say that instead of a 40 min game of basketball, the game was say........1 min. 0-0 and each team has one possession say. Now how often does UK win the game vs Nichols? Well we still win the large majority of the time but it's nowhere near 99%. It's closer to 50 than it is 99.
My point is this. Anything can happen in small samples. This won't be the first half we shoot like crap or look awful. I know I'm kind of asking for much here but this is why I would caution worrying about one half (or even one game or multiple games) of basketball.
We do this all the time here and we also do it with other non UK teams. How often do we see one of our hated rivals, maybe they are playing a very weak team and they are down at the half. Eventually, a tread pops up here about that game. Almost every single time tho, the upset doesn't happen. Because eventually over time cream rises to the top.
I'd just let things play out here. We are top 10 pre season for a reason. This has every chance to be a very good team.
