Agree with always hope, but are you really comparing this team to Duke??

Florida will win by 25.

Game over.

 

[RoyKent]

*******, I'm tired of taking *** beatings to football schools..****ing 2-6 vs. UT and Florida the last two years is a joke. It's bad enough UK is like 2-60 combined in football vs. those two programs since the mid 80s...now they're kicking our *** in basketball..****ing great.

Yep, you nailed it. 1000% agree but be ready for the sunshine pumpers to attack you, tell you you’re not a real fan, they are a better fan, etc....

 

[RonEJones]

SKJ is actually not very good either. He rebounds at a lower per 40 than Richards and shoots much worse. Neither player getting many minutes would be ideal.

Maybe so. Haven't broken down the stats but SKJ passes the look test on the court much more than Richards. He can catch a lob, hit a 15 footer and not fumble every board off of his hands. Maybe he'd be even better had he been given the clock NR has been given all year?

 

[FiveStarCat]

We shot the ball very well at the 1st of the year. This team can play with anyone at times then lose to my local HS team.

You have a good team. I’m just salty. Will be rooting for all SEC teams in the tourney, jut frustrated today

 

[Hopmix]

Shoals job. UF in rhythm. If the refs don't even this out it's gonna get more ugly.

 

[bluebornwildcat]

1. Defense is atrocious, go zone. It can't be any worse. Their luck has to run out.
2. Vanderbilt and Washington with 2 fouls hurt us bad
3. Defensive rebounding
4. Fouls in the paint are being called one way.
5. Florida playing out of their minds.

 

[Pete391]

Florida is an 11 loss, fringe NCAA tourney team. Getting blown out is pathetic.

But I think they have UK projected TOO high in the seedings..UK is not a top 20 team to deserve a 5 seed.....

 

[RoyKent]

Florida is beating UK in every stat of this game with exception of blocks. And that's only +1

Nope, wrong. Fouls as well. UF called for one more than UK...but, it’s still the refs fault

 

[Hopmix]

And lol. UF won't make it out of the first weekend.

 

[TankedCat]

Game over.

Florida too good.

if that happens there will be no joy in mudville.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Wish we were as quick today as that dog at halftime

 

[mhroe1984]

Florida will get bounced next week in their first SECT game and shoot 2/24 from the 3 point line.

 

[katkraze]

UK is flat --- plus they are getting hosed by the UF-loving refs. They can comeback in the second half.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

What? They are playing that bad. Lucky it's not worse.

We really aren’t. We put up 33 points with 2 of our best players in foul trouble for a good chunk of the half. Have you seen some of the mess they have thrown up and hit. If you hit that all game, you are going to win. Odds are they don’t and this game gets tighter. If they do, head back to lexington and get prepped for the SEC.

 

[RonEJones]

And lol. UF won't make it out of the first weekend.

Guaranteed. They'll 2-20 from 3 against a Wichita St like team and lose in the 2nd round (if not the first).

 

[kybassfan]

Turnovers + lack of defensive stops + insane shooting = hell of a bad day.

 

[bookerfan66]

And lol. UF won't make it out of the first weekend.

Same might be true with us.

 

[GoNoles111]

Jesus he makes a shot off the shot clock. Fug this arena

 

[RonEJones]

Glad to see Gabriel and NR on the bench to start the 2nd half.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Washington has been hammered a dozen times in this game

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Chiozza's shot had ice on it when it came down.

 

[KyFord]

Another circus shot goes in

 

[Kentuckiddy]

John Rahm just hit one in the water but Phil stuck one close. Great match.

 

[buckkiller]

Seems UF just a bad matchup for us,When Players Like Richards, few others don't go to the gym and work on their craft and put in the work it shows. It shows on the road big-time.. Wouldn't bother me if he transfered out cause he has not gotten better all year and can tell he hasn't put in the extra time.. You cannot hide at Kentucky and and you can tell if a player hasn't took extra time and has a serious work ethic or not. No way he is even a 2nd round pick. Richards has been the most disappointment this year IMO..bash I don't care he should be giving us a Lot more at this time of year.. Bring in Wiseman and EJ and cut away the fat from team.

 

[TheBigBlueSpectacle]

Cats 5 seed very much in question unless they show they belong against decent teams on the road. They looked so good those four games to turn in a piss poor effort like this. Gotta have a respectable second half. Just have to

 

[TortElvisII]

What a call

 

[jrollins24]

good thing baseball cats are playing. this is horse sh*t.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Yep, you nailed it. 1000% agree but be ready for the sunshine pumpers to attack you, tell you you’re not a real fan, they are a better fan, etc....

We need a final four to salvage this season

 

[eppsfan]

Ref baiting JV.

 

[kyjeff1]

Not a foul, but somehow Vando has his 3rd foul.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Vanderbilt is not allowed to play defense. It is official.

 

[KyFord]

******** call

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Yep, the order was to take Vanderbilt out of the game

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Nope, wrong. Fouls as well. UF called for one more than UK...but, it’s still the refs fault

Good catch. I didn't even look there.

 

[fatguy87]

That's the 3rd foul on Vanderbilt. A horrible start to the 2nd half would be a dramatic understatement.

Of course, we don't get a replay of the call.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Go look at my history. If you think I’m a UL fan as much as I make fun of them , then ur nuts

I did. Only one measly post during the game on Wednesday...nothing after the game. Hum!

 

[trueblujr]

Jesus he makes a shot off the shot clock. Fug this arena

Can’t defend shots like that. Now Vandy with his 3rd.

 

[RonEJones]

So it's okay when UF goes "straight up" on someone attacking the rim but Vando gets called for a foul?

 

[MbergCat]

How do we play D when everything we do is a foul?

 

[ala_kat2]

If Cal stays in M2M, then we have ZERO shot on defense.
