bottom line : we have to hit our open shots. We have to step up defensively and get stops. hang tougher than they are and play like our hair and body are on fire. All out and get this thing turned around.

And maybe Joe can stop the game 3 or 4 more times and give us a break somehow.... monumental officiating crew !

I’ve watched far longer than that I’ll tell you whatever I feel like saying especially what you’re doing is bitching
It's a game thread; the rule here is we get to ***** in the heat of the moment.

If you're happy with what we're seeing today, I feel sorry for you tbh.

They are up 15 because of that terrible call. That butt hole lying on the floor in a fetal position acting like he was nearly dead is rewarded by the refs. We should do that every chance we get. This rule has got to be changed.
The refs are bad man I agree, but Auburn is up because they significantly more talented than Kentucky is

Some people need to recognize this Auburn team is higher rated in KenPom than our 2015 undefeated team. No amount of “understanding the assignment” allows you to beat a team this good when they get rolling. Auburn is a juggernaut
Quit being a cry baby. If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best. You act like we’re playing Jordan and the Bulls. We’re being out toughed, out coached, out executed.

My dude, I've been watching UK basketball for 35+ years. You don't get to tell me anything.

It’s okay to be frustrated and call things like you see them.

Some people would rather blame refs or Calipari or whatever else they think up rather than question poor performance, effort or coaching. Lack of talent.

Pope has gotten every last bit out of of these guys but the fact remains they’re not overly talented and consistent effort has been a HUGE issue all season from a lot of guys.

Well Coach Cal would’ve had us in this game lol
Am I seeing that Ark/SC score correctly??
40-16..good lord lol
Cal gonna Cal. He'll beat the likes of Mizzou and nearly beats a team we're getting slaughtered by only to get creamed by a team we clobbered. That's why he's not here anymore and I'm glad of it.

On this level, this Auburn team ranks as good as anyone ever in KenPom. Facts aren’t crying. They are….facts. There’s a lot of crying going on but isn’t from me

Their best player has one point and they are killing us. Awful performance
It is called great three point line defense. You know, I know that we live by the three point shot. Auburn has the quickness to shutdown our three point shooting. We are just not athletic enough to compete with quick teams unless we are draining three point shots. If we get a really quick mid major in NCAAT and are not able to get set for our three point shots we could be in deep trouble. We just have to recruit better athletes than we currently put on the floor. Spotup shooters that can't create their own shot will always struggle against a more athletic team. Look at Auburn, FL, TN, and Bama, they are more athletic than we are. We wore TN out because both games we shot lights out.

Guards are the difference in this game so far. Williams is actually borderline dominating Broome, but even if it feels like they got a little bit lucky and made some low percentage shots, their guards are lighting up the scoreboard while ours can’t throw it in the ocean. This is probably going to be a tough hole to climb out of.
To be honest, they have a massive talent advantage at guard, and one of our best isn’t even playing and another is hurt. This was a big mismatch to begin with.

Horrifying to watch that first half. I genuinely can’t see how we get back in the game. Auburn is the real deal
Quit talking about defeat and think about victory. We're going to kill these bastards in the second half. We're going to cut out Pearl's guts and use them to grease the wheels of our tanks.

We are receiving the kind of on-ball defense that a frenetic 12-15 seeded team can play in the first round of the ncaa. We need to come back this half with an offense than can play against tight, aggressive defense. Just do it !!

Then laughing next trip down the court!
I’m just as mad about the phantom foul they called against Carr on the 3-pt shooter. First off the guy kicked his feet (both) out to try and initiate contact, which I thought was an auto foul or tech (don’t remember which) against the shooter. Second, Carr didn’t touch the guy. Just completely awful.

He never actually talks about the game action. Instead, he (along with a few others) just snipes at fellow posters while putting on his plastic badge and cowboy, and reloading his cap gun.

Yep. I mean that's really all there is to this.
And we're making it easy on them. Almost all the point differential is from TOs. We're playing stupid. And it hasn't gotten better tbh. Between that, Butler obviously not in playing shape, Jax out, it's just hard to feel good about the rest of the year. Four gauranteed games left. That's it man.

Seems like a lot of people think we have like a month left in the season. It's put up or shut up time no matter what. Injuries? Doesn't matter. Bad refs? Doesn't matter. It's win or go home time in like 11 days or so.

I wish it were so. I think they are just better than us. I am not any less excited about what we can do the rest of the year though. I believe in Pope and I believe in the vision he has for the program. Auburn is darn good

I bleed blue. I don't like losing especially to **** fan bases like AU. But it's hard to see how we aren't cooked if Butler and Jax are not serviceable.

It is what it is. I'm not angry at Pope or burning my UK gear. Just sucks. And it's ok to be pissed about it.

Our defense has serious issues. Gonna give up 100 again in Rupp. Pope needs a defensive coordinator
He may need a coordinator but he needs more athletic kids that are quick enough to play REAL tight defense. This will take two to three recruiting cycles.

I knew we were jinxed when Seth and J-Will both picked Kentucky to win today I rather everyone pick against Kentucky every game.

I sure as **** hope so. And i'll take a double helping of crow and eat that bird dry if we do. Just going to take a monster effort.
