Simple fix all season. Stop doing it. Three point shots are wide open because UK acts like Lew Alcindor is in the post for every opponent.

That's the part that hurts. Score again and it's a two possession game.

and fire this fat, greasy used car salesman. I will donate to his buyout

Bout time to start talking about next year.

Too many turnovers. Our guards are still getting pushed backed when teams double the high on the ball screen. We need to be doing that to other teams..Those live ball turnovers are lethal. This killed us in nearly loss we have this year. Wagner was not very good, Reed has got to step up and step through those doubles and shoot those pull ups off the dribble. He disappeared in the second half. With the bs fouls on Reeves we we were severly hampered on offense. Leading Rob to have to do too much with ball. Adou has got to use his slide step to finish in the lane. Our guards cannot guard in the ball too far away from the basket. We got beat by senior guards abusing our freshman guards. We did nothing to take ball out of their hands, meanwhile, seemed like we had Z catching an awkward pass 30 feet from the basket too often From their doubling the ball.

I love a high powered offense as much as the next person, but you have to be willing to play an adequate amount of tough defense to separate yourself from the other team. I think a lot of defense is pride, and stopping your guy. We don’t seem to even make an attempt. This is on the coaches AND the players.

That's the ceiling for this team. Cal is going to piss down his legs and handicap the team by playing the wrong lineups. He can't help himself. Greatest used car salesman in history and worst in-game basketball coach in history.

24 personal fouls for 30 free throws
9 steals allowed only 6 turnovers caused


1.276 PPP(est.)
TAMU 14 for 18 in layups. Kentucky was 7-13



When you look at these stats do you see a team that was prepared and ready to play hard enough to beat a team whose still trying to make the NCAAT. Rhetorical. The answer has already been provided

This lineup should start and play the majority of minutes. The vast majority. The fact that Mitchell, Wagner, Onyenso, etc play so much is insane to me. Why even try a "defensive lineup"? Our "defensive lineup" CANT DEFEND EITHER. Play your 5 best scorers and go. Like..cmon.

Calipari said it, so we must all believe it.

Followed by bigger weekend next week. Ruined. 9 million.

What a joke

…. Because I have been one for many years. But tonight is ridiculous

He would have never left Kentucky. Could have been a 1,000 win coach here, multiple titles. Would be interesting to see that timeline.

UK/Texas A&M predictions from the CI staff...

Any picks from you all??

If Louisville doesn't give the next coach more than 2 years to turn it around, then the next coach will ruin his career by getting fired too

Hope we look like it in the second half. Didn’t in the first.😐

We were probably too busy filming the commercial to practice this week.

He’s a joke.

That’s his words
That would be my first question if I was in that conference room

I said before the SEC tourney that if the CATS were to lose would all the Cal bandwagon folks watch the wheels fall off once again? I feel for the BBN suckers who paid money to go to Nashville expecting this team to be the champions. Now what? Head home? Rationalize it will be different in the NCAA tournament?

Do you realize that not winning the SEC or the SEC tournament this team will have accomplished nothing once again unless they win it all? Plus, we have two top 5 draft picks along with several other first round probable selections. The problem is they can't overcome Cal.

His song and dance is getting old.

I see a pattern.

Note: I’m NOT counting anomalies for some of these stats (ie, 1952-53, 2019-2020, etc.). Apologies for any mistakes, truly. As you can probably guess, there’s not a particularly great database that houses these stats and makes them easy to review. If anyone finds any errors (legitimate ones, not “THAT AINT FAIR TO COUNT CUZ NERLENS GOT HURT”), then I’ll gladly correct.

1) least number of wins in a four year period:

• Worst stretch I can find is 1962-65 (75 wins).
• Worst recent stretch (post-1970s) was the last two years of tubby plus BCG two years (84 wins).
• Worst recent stretch (post-1970s) by a single UK coach was 99-02, tubby smith (97 wins).
• Current four year stretch (2021-24) is at 72 wins (obviously still a lot of season left, but I think we’re all but guaranteed to have the worst 4 year stretch by a single UK coach from a total wins perspective since the 1970s.)

2) most losses in a four year period

• Worst stretch I can find was the last two years of tubby plus BCG two years (52 losses).
• Worst stretch by a single UK coach is the current four year stretch, 21-24 (41 losses).

3) worst win percentage over a four year period

• Worst I could find was last three years of Sutton plus pitinos first year (.59016).
• Current win percentage for 21-24 (again, season not complete) would be the worst by a single uk coach at .63716.

4) least number of tournament wins over a four year period

• Worst by a single UK coach is Hall at 3 wins from (79-82) (note, the tournament wasn’t always 6 rounds; I didn’t take the time to adjust for that; ie, if a coach made it to the sweet 16 in 1980, I gave that coach credit for 2 wins instead of 1).
• Currently have 1 win over the last three seasons. Need to get to the s16 to at least tie for the worst four year stretch by a single UK coach (again, not adjusting for the fact that tournament wasn’t always six rounds).

5) longest stretch without at least a share of the SEC regular season title

• Worst stretch I can find was Tubbys last two years plus BCGs last two years - 4 straight seasons without a share of the SEC title.
• Worst stretch by a single UK coach was Rupp from 59-61 (three years) and Calipari 21-23 (three years).
• If we don’t win it this year, Cal will own the longest streak without at least a share of the SEC regular season title by a single UK coach dating back to Rupp.

Let's get it on...
