*****Alabama @Kentucky Official Game Thread*****

[UKBB4Ever]

I don’t know what it looks like on TV.

But watching live we just don’t have the athletes they have.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Effort was great in general? Not on defense

@bookerfan66 I said the same thing and yet you laughed at my comment and liked this one.

 

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

Year #1 of a rebuild and we still have a top 10 team with a 5-1 record against top 15 teams.

This is Oats at his best, settled and with experienced NBA level players at two positions.

Give Pope time. We knew this would be a 20 to 23 win UK team from the jump.

You can say this and you are right in a certain context.

But nothing in life is guaranteed.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Elite teams have two studs. Bama does, we do not

Yet we still beat yout sh*t Dukies. Big day for you, you're posting vomit rapid fire since it was a tough day.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Losing this game means UK have to find a road win at Bama or UT or somewhere else they didn’t expect to get one.

Nawh, they just gotta win @vandy and 1 of Oklahoma/Texas now

 

[ManitouDan]

Y’all have a good day
I know this place is gonna meltdown

Still love my coach and my team.

TRUE , PEOPLE ARE showing their dumb side already . Alabama is really good and played their A game today , we only played a B- .. so we dropped one . Just never felt like we were playing our game , if Carr back isnt hurting badly , then Nelson doesnt have 19 at the half

 

[JFCats22]

Credit to Bama, they are making all their FTs

 

[ThunderMash]

Pope has to do something about this defense, this is not acceptable.

I'm surprised it's been this bad for the whole year and seems to not have been addressed.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Nobody actually thought we’d go undefeated against to 15 teams this year. Not in this years SEC. This loss was expected.

No but this game was winnable

A lack of effort on defense and abandoning our offense for iso lost the game.

That’s why everyone is frustrated.
Have to hold court at home

 

[TheBlueMist]

Man, that looked like a trap and steal.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Are they gonna miss a ****ing free throw:
Jesus

 

[ukfan117]

Another late foul on us and now we are hitting three's when they don't matter. Alabama was on the line all game.

 

[katwest]

They are not going to be able to count on Youngblood and Philon on road games this season, ain’t going to happen.

 

[The_Answer1313]

We just wont die

 

[wldktz8]

Man, that looked like a trap and steal.

You can’t win when they call a game like that! If anything it was a foul on Bama with the chicken wing.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Are they gonna miss a ****ing free throw:
Jesus

And they get handed one every possession, what do you know..

 

[HenryMuto]

Damn shame we couldn't get a couple of those stops at the end the way we hit the 3 the last couple possessions.

 

[Blue wood]

You can say this and you are right in a certain context.

But nothing in life is guaranteed.

Wtf? He's right in every context

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Cal & Arkansas sucks, so some of you are miserable.

My Cats will continue to get better and be a top 10-15 team. We got a run in us. We aren’t a 1st round flame out team. We are a Sweet 16 to Final Four team.

 

[TriCountyCat]

SEC refs hurt us at home. Our whole starting five in risk of fouling out.

 

[shaudyshaud]

What they review in college is ridiculous.

 

[HenryMuto]

If we didn't give up all those damn OFF rebounds in the 2nd half we could won this one. We of course start nailing all our 3s when it is too little too late.

 

[StevieJFTW07]

Of course Almanor hits one when it don't matter.

 

[chroix]

Can’t get a faster foul than that

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

flop/flail

 

[ManitouDan]

Effort was great in general? Not on defense

Alabama has the Best offense in college basketball..... it's not just us that have trouble slowing them down . I think it was more of their great offense getting us out of position . FOR SURE 100% their were times we lost concentration , but the team didnt quit or dog it

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Nelson hit Almonor harder than Oweh hit Sears.

 

[Farsight]

Where is Garrison? He out played Amari the entire game. Bro costed us the game

 

[KYExtemper]

It sucks to lose but honestly, I thought we'd lose this one anyway. Just gotta learn and get better.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Sears is a pretty good actor. Not Gary Oldman good, but pretty, pretty good nonetheless.

 

[OneSpeedyBoi96]

One thing I love about this team is that there isn't an ounce of quit in them

 

[Roe07]

🤣
You think Duke or Carolina or Kansas would ever have two players foul out at home????

 

[chroix]

Of course Almanor hits one when it don't matter.

We are still in this

 

[catben]

Just MUST cut out all of the unforced errors!!!!!

Giving up offensive rebounds
Allowing the opponent to get MOST of the 50/50 balls
Turning it over, especially on just a pass to your team mate
Losing a 3 pt shooter

Fix those areas in the next 2 months and we can win BIG come March.

 

[TheWyldKat]

Thank goodness Williams fouled out.

 

[HenryMuto]

Butler should just scored the layup

 

[FiveStarCat]

Wtf Butler…

 

[darkshadesofblue]

All losses have been to Football powerhouses. That football money sure comes in handy

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

That was the dumbest decision I’ve seen Butler make at UK

 

[clew84]

WTF Butler?? So stupid.
