They won, I doubt they give a **** about how we feel or act. If we won would anyone care how TN fan were acting? I could care less if we won or lost how they feel. We are a big win for any program, it is Kentucky. Would it not be nice if our football program would be everyone's Super Bowl?

All season this team has lived and died by the 3 and tonight was no different.
You can't shoot 30 when you don't have 30 open shots, Of the threes we took most were not really open shots. The last shot in first half that Chandler made was tightly guarded. That was the best shot of the game. TN put the clamps on the three point line tonight. Pope did not adjust at half time like he usually does. We were outscored 15 in first half and we outscored TN by two in second half. Little to no adjustments were made at half tonight. We scored a grand total of 65 points. did we win a single game this year scoring 65 points against any SEC team.
Explain. TN may end their season on Sunday. Ours ended tonight.
It wasn't a great season. Injuries changed the roster and the top end potential of the team. To get this squad past Illinois and into the sweet 16 was an achievement.
The NCAA would assign Doug Shows' crew for the Tennessee game. That definitely wasn't accidental. I was, however, shocked that the team didn't get up a bit more for this game, considering the stakes.

Lmao. Enjoy it while you can, whoever you are.
I'm glad for a long off-season. We will at least have time to rebuild with most of our roster leaving again, instead of having a month. I'll take it. We need our coaches recruiting more than we needed a win tonight, even though losing sucks.
Pope has nothing to do with what we did the previous 5 years, but a journalist would know that. Too bad there aren't many of them left. We improved by leaps and bounds over where we were under the previous coach. Had a lot of great wins and had a team with a lot of heart for a change!
Won 3 post-season games for the first time in I don't know how long! 2 tournament games for the first time in what, 5-6 years? 3 seed losing to a 2 seed in the sweet 16, as opposed to losing to a St Peter's or ? OAKLAND?
FCK YEAH! I'LL TAKE THE IMPROVEMENT!!
THANK YOU, 2O24-2025 KENTUCKY WILDCATS! LOVE YOU GUYS! WILDCATS FOR LIFE!
(I'd go meet them at the airport for old times sake, if I was a good bit younger.)
As soon as a saw they didn't put him on the Arkansas game, I KNEW he'd be working ours. Fk the NCAA and DS both.
EXACTLY. Fkn legion of doom and gloom already starting to burn next year to the ground before we've even started.
UT played tonight like they should have the first 2 games. (And it shocked me it took Barnes til the 3rd game for them to figure it out.) We took advantage then, but we also had more than one shooter, and rebounded better. Carr clearly wasn't 100%.
This was a GREAT SEASON that we shouldn't have had even if the LOD is pissing venom right now. More top competition wins than anyone in how long? Ever? (Can't remember what the Stat was that was big news weeks ago.)
Beat DUKE, Gonzaga, UT, OM, UF, and played some great WILDCAT basketball scratchin and clawin for wins with heart and a chip on our shoulder (until tonight). Did all that with a gutted roster and not a single lottery pick/one and done on the team. That's FKN STELLAR!
Let's not ruin it by trashing players or the season. We shouldn't even be here right now after the last 5 years. If we had Cal, we likely wouldn't have even made the tournament. Pull up those huggies and take the loss like adults! UT was the better team (vomit) tonight.
Let's move on and build up instead of tearing down
Do need to find a way to return that chip to the shoulder of everyone on the team. When they didn't take near the offense at the middle finger photo that they should have, I didn't think we had the mindset to win this game. Laughing about it really surprised me.
Maybe they were just ready to be done with the season. Who knows

Dude, I couldn't log on to join the game chat after we got down by 6 or so. Got booted out and never could get back on the board. Turns out it was merciful. Can't imagine how bad it got since we were losing.
