Tough to compete for 40 mins on the road down 2 key starters. It is what it is. Impressive start but wasn't sustainable. Not over yet but gonna be tough.
We're not down because of missing two key starters. At one point in the first half we were looking to blow the game wide open. It's Pope's obsession with substitutions. He reminds me of former Reds coach David Bell and HIS double-switches late in every game. He's also got guys who are currently playing who have psychological blocks. Amari backing man down and then passes when he could score. Otega driving to hoop and regardless of traffic refuses to pass.

What you're seeing is simple; great def on one end, and a not good defense on the other. Have to even that up some, hit FTs, and get a little luck. Let's not forget how good Alabama is.

I can see there being a close tournament game in the final minutes, and the other team fouls Kentucky on purpose to send them to the line. Big weakness that must be improved. Come on, Cats!!

Ok, keep crying like now. It's fun. You sound rustled. It's okay sweetheart, you sound worked up over nothing. Do we need a wellness check...dont hurt yourself
not rustled in the slightest, just letting you know that you are literally irrelevant to me lol.

We really miss Butler today. Sears is just going wherever he wants with Perry guarding him, and that gets Alabama’s entire offense revved up. Game definitely isn’t over at this point, but we need to come up with a way to at least slow him down a bit for a comeback to be likely.

This team has ruined way too many of my Saturdays. Need to win this one. Make it right.
Hasn't ruined mine. For me it is what it is. The fact that THIS current group of guys can get up 12 against this team on the road speaks voulmes. Yeah we're losing now but step back and look at our team. Pope is a heck of a coach. The good times will come with a healthy roster. Gotta be the most snake bit team in the Country.

Well, to be fair, our two big guys Williams and Garrison missed 4 of the nine. Noah 0-1. We need Oeeh to do his second half scoring to stay in this game.

Down 7 and Grant Nelson has 0 pts and 2 other starters have 2 pts

That is 3 of their starters with a combined 2 pts

Some of the same people before the game said we were gonna get run out of the building are the same ones chatting as though they are about to go jump off a bridge when we are down 7. No idea how that is consistent 🤦‍♂️

I'm not able to physically watch the game, so I don't know if this has changed at all, but one of the dumbest things I've seen is that banner or whatever it is in Alabama's gym that says "TRADITION." Tradition of what? Mediocrity? Doing OK in a historically mediocre conference? I could see if they had some all time greats like Shaq or Pistol Pete, but...

Kentucky football: TRADITION.

There are bigger things to think about here, but I always wonder about that.

Sears ability to drive the paint is amazing…considering he has 3 grown men hanging from his jock.

They have ONE less offensive rebound(16) than we have TOTAL(17)!!!!!

This is WHY we can't win these types of games.

For some reason, our guys just want to stand and WATCH on the road. It's not that way at home. ODD
I think you read the box score wrong bro. But I get what you’re saying. We’re back to ball watching.
