Not consistent reffing. Previous games it’s tweet tweet when you guard with hands. This game is like a rugby match. I’m sure not what the staff expected. We must adapt.
Butler looks just fine? What’s he done today? Has he even scored?
Agree but Noah subbing ng Almador didn't hurt us at all.
He hasn't cost us a single basket and has actually contributed to a couple.
Gotta stop all the over analysis metric crap and just get these guys guarding the ball with pressure and aggressiveness. No more complicated than that.
Do that and watch the energy levels switch on both sides

We do not have a player who could drive to basket and create offence for others, and this is what you seen
Amari should bully the frontcourt from vandy instead of being bullied

Butler is not fine and hasn't been for a few games
19-12 is best case scenario for this group. With the bs effort and terrible defense it leaves them no room for error
Injuries don't matter ask some of these guys. They think we beat Duke without Carr?
I have no idea what Pope was doing with the lineups in the first half. Hope he explains it postgame.
Second, it's one thing to just get beat because of how well the other team is playing. However, the Cats are showing no intensity and little effort. Looks like the OSU game all over again.
Very concerning that this keeps happening under Pope. Very concerning.

This team is not super talented, but I expected good fundamentals, which I feel were there earlier in the season. What happened?
Just a very soft team. No rebounding, no defense, weak with the ball, no fight for the loose balls. Punch them and they wilt. May be looking at a 3 game losing streak.
We have 2 and Vandy 2. The Refs are not the reason for the way we are playing. If all fouls had been called this half, both teams would have had 10+. This is by FAR the best officiated road game we have had or could expect to have. I hope we don't start blaming the refs. We neeed to blame game plan and HEART that our kids have shown. 50 - 50 balls have been 90 - 10 Vandy. That is HEART.How do we have TWICE as many fouls as Vandy
C’mon man, we ***** when they call fouls, now we’re gonna ***** when they don’t? Some of you are insufferable. It’s unreal.
That first half was Ohio State bad. Trent Noah showing more effort than the rest of the team combined
By the looks of it, this team is about to crash hard and losing to Arkansas at home is now a real possibility. That would be a 4 game losing streak if it happens.
Pope had a weak to prepare, he did a poor job, we look like complete ***.

Pope is going to have to make adjustments to the offense. Not that there is film, it is far too easy to shut down. Teams that pressure the high post give us fits. Travis Perry cannot play the point. The moment someone takes a defensive stance on Perry, he has to get rid of the ball. Amari is just not good. Continue to run the offense to the high post is going to result in a significant amount of losses. Hopefully there are adjustments to be made because the current approach ain’t working.
It’s all the same typical negative pricks who come out early in the game to talk crap. I hope we come back and drive them off the board for today. Go Cats!
And I think we'd all live with that, the honest truth is that the expectations weren't really there to begin the season, with a cobbled-together roster. I wanted to say it earlier, but didn't, and now I'm going to. I think a REALLY BIG PROBLEM in college basketball right now (including UK) is that players start the seasons with their focus on their teammates, being receptive to instruction, aiming to be great. But as the season wears on I think many let their own personal goals get in the way (ie, getting drafted or playing professionally overseas) and they start trying to "get theirs". I think we're seeing that on this team, along with some injuries.
if we lose at home to an awful Arkansas team that'll be the last game I watch this year.
Absolute pathetic effort all around! Vandy defense is completely shutting us down
