I have noticed when there is a lot of money in favor against UK the calls are ****. Just saying. Dude was clearly watching his double dribble

I just want to have a team that kicks *** man. Why can’t we freaking have that anymore? I want to come into a game like this and take them to the wood shed because we are Kentucky. Is that too much to get?

The refs use no calls more than calls to control games.

Let’s see how they call it next half, and let’s see how much energy they can keep up. That clown in glowing shoes was gassed there at the end. He won’t keep that up all game.
Told my wife teh same...he had his hands on his knees every dead ball from the 8:00 mark on

Felt like UK was due for that halftime result after the way they’ve played lately. Ignore final scores, they haven’t played very well.

Let’s see if they have a comeback in them.

Tough gym. Warned many here who foolishly didn’t believe this would be a hostile crowd.

One thing though.. this team IS still new, and I think even Pope is learning who works with who, and which guys need to start.

This is really far from a finished product.

And if Pope can pull out this win with 2nd half adjustments.. we will have something very special with him, because our players really look like the lesser P5/mid major types out there.

We've missed enough free throws and inside shots to be up double figures!! I'm not one to complain about the officials, but these guys suck!!

Meh, we were strong enough and big enough against Duke. They are as big and physical as these guys.

We just didn't play good at all. Everything was a mess...FT/FG/3FG/Asst v TO
Gonna disagree , tonight Clemson is way more physical.. I mean 1 player has 13 rebounds .. at the half . And Dukes big got in foul trouble — that helped a bunch

If Carr and or Butler pick up their 3rd in the first 5 minutes we are most likely toast
If they don’t both pick up their 3rd before the first TV timeout then the second half will be called fairly and we will most likely win.

This. We just need to find a way to pull this out. 0-2 would NOT be a great way to go into SEC Play coming up.

Yup they are not good.

Just wait till we play Bama, auburn, ole miss, Tennessee, we may be down 20 at half
Add Florida, they are not bad either. Auburn & TN plays in your jock defense. I have not seen Ole Miss or Bama play. I watched a little of the game before ours and saw some decent basketball.

SEC is up 5-0, the other 4 games in progress has SEC teams winning. I really hope we don't go 9-1 with us being the 1 loss. That would really suck.

Maybe not. But they are FASTER than Clemson. And that's concerning to a degree, especially considering their dudes are MUCH better than any of these Clemson guys.
I don’t think you’re giving Clemson enough credit. UK players might have gone into this game with the same idea.

Is Butler the only guy on teh floor they care consistently calling fouls on?

Also, does Williams have money on Clemson? He’s been absolutely putrid.

If UK loses tonight, it will be a good thing. I don't think coming back helps us beat Gonzaga Saturday, but a loss would serve as a great learning lesson for this team.

The Duke game gave these guys an inflated sense of what it will take this year. Time to get bitten by some junk yard dogs and learn how to fight them now so we'll be ready in the SEC.
