I know we won on the road. Love It! But...

29 mins and zero pts from Ugo. Look he payed decent D at times but also was dunked on here and there. He struggles to rebound ir even grab the ball when it falls right in his lap. I worry Cal has fallen back I'm love with this zero offense some defense look. I know Z didn't do much. How much could anyone do in 2 mins, 3 mins and 2 mins?

He played 8 mins and by the time he's even thinking rhythm he's back out. I guarantee with 29 mins he would have done better than Ugo. But we won. Yes.

I'm more worried about the future games where we have to have something more than 0-4pts out of the 5 to win. I felt Bam. Cal was leaning into the right lineup then bam. Some will say Z couldn't handle it and Ugo was needed but guys like Knect were dunking. I'm fine with Ugo out there half the time if he's playing good D but worried Cal doesn't see what Z gives us. We ate a better team with Z out there. He's not perfect but blocks shots, causes guys to avoid the paint and he can actually score.

Who could play well in stretches of 2, 3 and 2 mins?

I just feel like we will need Z down the stretch and will see too much Tre and Ugo. I hope I'm wrong.

Cal doesn't care about you in the slightest. He has quit as a coach and is drawing his ENORMOUS salary whether UK wins another game much less an SEC Championship. The fire is GONE!!!

Then you add in how HORRIBLY UK is treated by the SEC Office for allowing these SEC Refs to Homer UK in FREAKIN RUPP, much less on the road!!! If they want to disrespect our program like this, then WHY IN THE WORLD would ANY UK fan give the SEC ANY of our money by going to their CRAPPY SEC Tournament?????!!!!!

UK fans are the ONLY ones in this league that gives 2 CRAPS about Basketball and the SEC Tournament!!! Let them see what Nashville looks like WITHOUT UK fans there!!!!!

As long as we keep showing up no matter what, the SEC will KEEP crapping on UK!!!!!

I’m tired of year after year of him not having his players ready to play in the post season. It has to stop. It’s embarrassing. If you can’t get this group ready, you never will.

Been taught or encouraged to take a charge on defense. I don't remember any this season.

And that extends to the beat writers here. This guy loses like Mondale consistently now and our UK media is concerned first with access. It’s all about breaking the news on the next recruit instead of going full throttle for cal or Barney. This is basically the equivalent of an nba team and the guy is talked too like he has sex pics on everyone. I mean has the media ever considered to just not show to a presser? Has the media done anything to put any possibility to Cals mind he could be on the hotseat? The national media treat him tougher than local media and I have seen local UK media do a number on coaches. This is poor integrity on the part of the media to not report what we are seeing instead to excuse and fall into the wash rinse repeat cycle. Something has to change. Someone needs to be feeling the heat. Once the season is over cal bails and hides. Does some feel good stuff and the media eats it up. It’s disgusting. Cal gets more respect from local media than joe B did. It’s time for our UK media guys to stop trying to one up each other on breaking recruiting info and to sack up and go after cal. The first to do this will create a movement while the rest look like what they are. Chicken sht of John calipari. A guy whose power comes from being a coach. I think we are the only program in the country at least a top 10 program historically that would keep such trash around. Sack up media members and do your jobs because if it comes back down to a dynasty defender situation and the fans create the movement 80% of these uk media sites will go out of business.

Had his team prepared in every aspect. Had his guys ready to flop to draw fouls on Reeves. Accentuated every flaw Cal has and showed him for the fraud he is knowing Cow would/could never adjust.

Can you imagine anyone wasting more talent than Cal has in his tenure here? It’s ludicrous.

Calipari: "Four scorers, one big" lineup is focus for March​

John Calipari has occasionally been at odds with Kentucky fans and media alike this season regarding his starting lineup and in-game player rotations.

The Wildcats have struggled to find a steady rotation with a freshman-dominated roster, a slew of injuries, a frustratingly drawn-out eligibility case, and season-long defensive issues that made finding cohesion difficult.

That may have finally resolved itself with the arrival of March.

On his weekly radio call-in show Monday night, the UK boss sounded like he's found a rotation he likes with the Cats down to their final two regular-season games and postseason play on the doorstep. (cont) ...

Best weekend of the year. This weekend and next. And Cal has ruined them. This weekend could have been epic. I’ll still have a great time St Pat day but damn these weekends have been stripped from us. I’ve almost forgotten how fun it use to be. He needs to go.

Let's see I suppose the best was when number one Virginia got upset in our NCAA region along with other teams giving us what should have been a cake walk to a final four. What else? Well this SEC tournament with Tenn, and Bama being knocked off. How about when West Virginia's starting point guard was injured (and even if he wasn't the Cousins, Wall, etc. team was still better). What about the injured Kansas State team with their main star tried and couldn't play? I know Saint Peters actually did decent after us but we had no business losing that game either. I am sure I am forgetting more gifts that ultimately were never opened.

Had a lot to do this weekend and I was stressed about getting it all done. Now I’ve got plenty of time. Thanks.

That seems…interesting? Do we ever have any sort of game plan whatsoever? It seems like we just wing it in all aspects of the game.

Collective" would probably donate generously to the John Calipari Buyout Fund tonight.

Might as well stayed back in Lexington. I think he has 2 points ?

my hopes were rising and I thought we actually had a team. Now I’m back to reality and have zero hope this team does squat in the tourney. If anyone sees him in public please thank him for me.

We will have to be the first team since 1983 to win it all while not advancing to at least their conference semifinal.

(There was 2 seasons in those 41 years where the champion didn't have a conference tourney.)

“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”

Cal is slowly becoming a villain

Totaly unacceptable. Time or a new regime.

Out of 40 that our two best (and potentially #1 and #2 picks in the NBA draft) players, NEITHER ONE, are on the court. Absolutely criminal brother and will probably be what gets us beat in the tourney unfortunately 🤦‍♂️

I get it, beat a dead horse and all. But GD’it Cal. Why are you so stupid and stubborn?

So I was busy complaining to my friend about Cal and his coaching but I thought I just heard Cal tell leach in the post game that we have had a great season .......?!?!?!?!?!

Did those words come out of his mouth? and if so, we need to have him evaluated for dementia.

And Cal keeps playing 3 bigs. This is coaching malpractice. Put Edwards or Thiero at the 4 and roll with 3 guards. How can he be this ignorant? Seriously?

Absurd.

Who's in? Give him a 3 year I'm sorry tour?

If no Final Four, the season is a failure.

Spin it otherwise and you ain’t a Kentucky fan.

I don’t want to hear him say how other teams shoot out of their minds, blah blah blah.
We got beat off dribble entire game. Our bigs are literally letting guards dribble right down the lane and shoot lay up after lay up after lay up right in their face.
We didnt look ready to play at all. How can that be?
How can we look so good at Auburn and at Tennessee and then look like this.
Disgusting and totally unacceptable.
