We play like we did tonight and did at some points against UL and we won't be worrying about seeding lol. We'll be lucky to get a 6. I just don't see any next level talent that can carry us in what's gonna be a hellacious SEC. I hope I'm wrong but I can see 11 or 12 losses and an 8 seed. Somehow we scrapped to those Duke and Zag wins..Thank God.

Yeah but at the same time they are clearly dribbling the clock out . Just let them instead of trapping them
Halfway through the 2nd half he should have pulled some people and put in the freshman if for nothing more than a wake up call. Would have been the same outcome.
LOL. Some of you don’t even watch the games. Just ***** to be bitching.
Game was brutal start to finish.
I don’t care honestly, we got punked let them rub it in. Everyone needs to watch this game on loop because every person on this team sucked.
I ate six brownies tonight.
I now wish they had been packed with "certain ingredients."

I understand but we also got to understand that this is Pope’s first year. He put together a team within 7 months a team that’s 10-2 right now. We have to give him more than 2 months to get this thing going Cal really had us in the dumpster!!!
Watching Andrea Bocelli would have been more exciting than that game
Always a pleasure when your two season losses both come from football schools.
The one caveat is that our driving/shots inside the arc were an engine for generating fouls. The line was the only thing that kept us within 20 points for the whole game.
I am, however, not opposed to generating more looks from 3.
Kentucky will now be 0-3 against OSU in this event. That's completely unacceptable.
It's one thing to lose, but getting manhandled pert near the whole game is another. A bunch of 22/23 year olds should not be out hustled, but this has been a common theme the past few games.
Kentucky has been losing the majority of the Duke, Clemson, Gonzaga, and now OSU games. Pope has let this "dig a hole" crap go on too long. I believe he is a good coach, but his inability to address this so far, as well as the team playing down to the opponent's level, is concerning for the post-season.
The season is far from over, but there are some aspects of this team that have not yet improved or look to be getting worse. I think (and hope) Pope can whip some sense in the guys.

The next time we play these clowns and where you've got the 20-point lead with 10 seconds to go. I want some time outs.
Say what you want but Pearl is a good coach and motivates his players. They 100% will be looking to embarrass Pope and UK and I’m thinking they will. Auburn is legit probably the best team in the nation even with Broome out.
I’ll never figure out throwing in Perry and Chandler in the game. I understand here at scrap time but not leaving Noah on the bench. Played well against Colgate in small minutes and hasn’t sniffed the floor since. Better shooter and more physical than both.
I've got family in Ohio who are all Buckeye fans. A few cousins who are Ohio State grads. Frustrating loss because I'd guarantee not one of them, or even 99% of Buckeye nation for that matter, had any idea they had (and just won) a huge basketball game.
You and me both. These type games make me wanna relapse.
Glad I turned off early in the first half. Could tell we were not playing good at all. I turned over to Texas game and helped with cooking stuff for Christmas. Just checked in here and have not seen the score. I am guessing at least a 10 point loss?
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday (if you have other holiday beliefs). Do not let on horrible game define the season but some worrisome trends have reared their heads since the Gonzaga game. UK got work to do and can do it.

Knowing how they planned to play us would help a lot if we played them again. They executed what they wanted to do to perfection. Pretty much everything went their way today. It’s not like that every day.
Make then run from Bluegrass Field to campus. And then make them run back.
What i hate the most is that Bradshaw had a better game than probably all but maybe 1 game for UK last year.
Glad you had your superbowl, you were useless for us.

So how do you celebrate this game if you are an Ohio State and Kentucky fan? Yell, LFG, and then throw your TV out the window?
Cuss, moan, throw your TV out the window, but run outside to catch it before it hits the ground? Drop it on a stack of pillows?

That’s a big concern for sure . You can’t live by getting behind in the second half and having to make a come back . It’s going to bite you in the *** more times than not .
Merry Christmas to you as well. Good advice. I probably should have turned it off too. This game got my blood pressure up. This game was easily winnable.
Some of y'all need to find another fn team to follow,, lol.. UK has some of the most miserable fans in the world.. Bunch of *****,, haha..
Pope built this team during the spring. We'll go into SEC play 11-2. I can live with that.
Still, a brutally, poorly executed game all around by the Cats. Pope and his staff need to break down every second of this game with each player. The days of going through the motions and beating non-blue blood teams every night by 20 is over in the era of NIL.

I think he told his team to win with class and not do anything stupid after the game.
Obviously did not see the same energy tonight we saw against Duke and Gonzaga. Very disappointing but that’s life, now how does the team handle it is the question. Really need to adjust to tempo, our guys seemed really disinterested with a physical slow it down type game..
Auburn is way more physical and a lot more quick, fast guards are going to get around our guards and make our bigs help out, if someone doesn’t drop down to help we will get eaten up inside all year
Looks like I picked the right game to not be able to watch in it's entirety. I maybe only saw 10 minutes of game action. Oof! Hopefully that was our bad shooting game. We need a scorer or two when the 3's aren't falling. We don't have that guy(s). We aren't aggressive enough either and have a hard time stopping dribble penetration.
