Exhibitions today are nothing like the last 10 years. Surely you know this....

The announcer guy said the same thing and I was like......ummmm well yeah of course we haven't lost one in a decade......we were playing little sisters of the poor those games.

We are most definitely going to drop some exhibition games now that we are playing D1 competition lol.

We seem disinterested tonight. Maybe Georgetown is really good. Who knows?

We haven't lost an exhibition in a decade. I won't be giving up been here though good and bad, thanks. But this isn't exactly a fun watch. 30 point blowout? Last I checked, we're losing.

I don't really care about the amount we win by. I JUST WANT TO WIN. And if that makes me a bad fan, well, guess I'm a bad fan.
But how many were against competent teams?

We also haven't played anything but tomato cans in exhibitions for years. And you are

That's not really a fair stat, every exhibition game has been against D2 and NAIA teams until now.

It's October. Good lord.

I knew this would happen. Ppl would think championships were decided after an exhibition then lose their mind after every game isn't a 30 point blow out.

Only uk fans
Probably good in the long run, might have gotten a big head after the Purdue game. Don't get me wrong as a fan I still want to see them run those Hoyas out of the gym.

The first half was concerning. Kentucky couldn’t stay in front of Georgetown’s speed and athleticism. Georgetown shot 56% from the field. It would have been higher, but they only shot 25% from three

It was a bit of a poor defensive showing by the Wildcats but they are missing their best defensive guard and big man.

On offense, Jasper Johnson needs to be tamed; we're better off right now if he catches the ball wide open or at the end of the shot clock.

Positives:
MORENO
I'm liking Jelly better all the time.

I predict UK gets a few more shots to fall in the 2nd half, and combined with a better defensive effort, winning by 10.

Georgetown is quicker than we are … and we know it. We simply HAVE to hit outside shots and free-throws. Quick teams zap energy from our trying to play so hard on defense, it seems to me. We cannot sustain energy on both ends. We need Duibate on the floor as much as possible. It is obvious we miss Lowe and Aberdeen.
I’m fairly confident if the game counted Pope wouldn’t be letting our guys gamble on defense the way they have been tonight. Down our best defender we should be playing team defense, and we aren’t. Everyone is constantly out of position gambling on steals.

Meanwhile on the other end Geoegetown is hacking at hands and arms constantly and not getting called for basically any of it. Big East basketball at its best.

I was excited about our defense after the Purdue game. Did Aberdeen make that much of a difference, because we look like some of Cal's last 3-4 teams out there tonight?
Purdue were plodders … that’s the difference. Georgetown mooooves !!

We were often a second half team last year. Let's see if that continues today. Adversity is good and needed. 0-0 after tonight either way, folks

Again, true. But bad basketball is bad basketball. Period.

As for the last part? Feel free to ignore me....because I've been here through good and bad. So, bye.

IMO, BG is deplorable for the most part, has a minim skillset, would play MM over him from this point forward, he has a horrible habit of holding the ball too long and throwing random *** shots up with zero chance of going in.

I wonder how different the perception of the
fanbase would be if we had rolled Georgetown and lost to Purdue like many expected after Lowe went down?

Ot much point in playing at home when your home crowd sucks, and ours does tonight.
I’ll say this bluntly — it’s hard to get loud in Rupp when half the seats aren’t filled. A lot of space and not many voices.

The fans tried to get into the game a couple times in the first half and the players just…well, they did stupid **** and the fans went “huh?”

Exactly. We're gonna be fine in the long run, but it does give some pause to what we know we will face in conference when EVERY SEC team will do this.
