This game was huge SUCK-FEST. Our guys have learned to play with a huge sense of entitlement. Again ... what the hell is going on? This looked like a Calipari coached team.
Check the box score dummy. Chandler 3 mins, Perry a necessary 7 spelling Butler and Noah 12.
They got up 58-51, that’s when you close the game out and win by 10–12. This teams looks like fools gold right now.
Ever heard of a thing is basketball called using so much energy to make a big comeback that u don’t have anything left for the end of the game to finish it off? It’s a real thing bro and happens all the time
As a matter of pride for a Kentucky fan it absolutely does.
Yeah and last week with Bama when he dribbles out after making it to the rim to take a bad 3 at the end sealed our sliver of a chance.
Some real poor decisions for our SR starting PG.
Standing 6 feet off the 3 point line on defense
Not blocking out rebounding
Lack of effort most of game
But most of all the team looked like it didn’t give an eff
Pope may lose this team. Be lucky to finish .500
Vandy is a better team. And that’s sad.
Yeah they have exceeded expectations however I don’t know if anyone could argue some of the teams we have lost to are more talented than us.
Clemson,Vandy , and Georgia . I know road games are tough but I don’t even think the crowd was a factor late in this game .We just played sloppy down the stretch.
I am not sure what Pope saw in Williams. This guy is truly a joke. I am not calling him a joke because of his lack of production. I am calling him a joke because of his lack of effort. I will never forget that he had a clear path to the rim for a dunk and he decided to do a pump fake because he feared that a shorter player would block him from behind. He should be laughed out of Kentucky.
The one on one offense the last 5 minutes was a Cal special. If you have "the most unguardable offense" in the country, maybe run it the whole 40 minutes?
I’ve got a bad feeling Kerr is going to be out the rest of the season and possibly Carr, even if he plays, he might not be preseason Carr…
Yeah and that's all it took. Pope didn't even.play those guys together against Brown, but he chose this game to do it. 7 minutes is an eternity on the road in this league.
But I didn't expect you to know that, you're too busy attacking fans.
*****? Haha. Noones crying you moron. You’re absent when we win and only come up for air when we’re playing poorly and when we lose. You’re a nobody hoping that the season ranked you’re no longer defined by the dumbest, worst thread in Cat Illustrated history.
Surprised a veteran team like this could make such a run to pull ahead then it gets away.
Certainly missed Carr, but really no excuse for digging such a huge hole then coming unglued at crunch time. These guys have been in those slots before.
Puts the SEC season in an even tougher grind if that were possible.
BUT....this one's done. Now to see what exactly went wrong that can be fixed (and I'm really not sure how much CAN be fixed) and move on down the schedule.

Vandy security was about like UK’s defense for most of the day! Such a frustrating loss!
Yea that’s what u are. U criticize people for being critical of their team. Get over it bro. It’s what fans do
Attacking “fans?” Ok caped crusader. 7 minutes? Chandler ONLY PLAYED THREE!!!!! Perry HAD to play. Noah brought energy to the boards and played good defense during his 12 minutes.
And that's all it took to dig a 14 point hole.
You're on an island by yourself, it was a massive mistake by Pope, just admit it.
But hey, I'm glad you're cool with us having a losing streak.
Play of the game was when we had a lead and Amari decided to do his patented “dribbled repeatedly at arm’s length and completely blow an easy 6 foot shot.” We never held the lead again after that.
I’m surprised by how often he doesn’t even attempt to contest shots right in his face.
Keep saying that I’m fine with us losing *******…you’re the one defending the trolls who are here because we did.
I have no problem defending my assertion that 3 mins of Chandler in the first half didn’t cost us the game.
Zero. Cal will want that game about 5000000x more than Pope and it will be obvious from the tip off.
It will bother me as well but for a different reason. I’m concerned how Pope cannot see just how bad running the offense through Amari makes this team. This was an extremely winnable game but the lineups Pope ran out and the strategy of Amari gives me concern.
Early on in the season it looked fine to run through Amari but with film, coaches can tell you can neutralize the offense by pressing up on Amari. Add in the lazy *** rebounding and his routinely giving up 3s today and failing to challenge at the rim, just what the hell does Pope think Amari bring?
Yep. It sucks but it is what it is.I’ve got a bad feeling Kerr is going to be out the rest of the season and possibly Carr, even if he plays, he might not be preseason Carr…
I know some of you are upset
but we are victims of our success here. Pope could have come in and assembled a team of second tier players while Cal either took or bought all the best players, with UK struggling to be a .500 team and the fans would be angry at Cal because he let the program in shambles writing the year off.
Now we're pissed because we're about to fall out of the top ten and projected to be a #4 seed.
c'mon, enjoy the moment of still exceeding expectations. enjoy the moment of a coach who loves this university and its fans. enjoy the moment of players who want to be here because its Kentucky not because a coach promised them an NBA contract.
its a great time to be a UK fan
