Actually this was somewhat predictable. Cal was SO intent on having them relax and “enjoy” everything. Hell, I could feel the tension all week. We play so tight it's ridiculous. We only seem to play loose (or at least, focused) when we are the underdog or face another big name school.
Anyone Else Not That Upset?

St Peters absolutely wrecked my world 2 years ago. Now I basically am ok with anything that leads to a new coach. Please just let there be a light at the end of this tunnel.
I’m upset but I’m not surprised. And that’s the worst part. Going into a THREE VS FOURTEEN GAME, I thought we had about a 60% chance of winning. Five minutes into the game, I could see what was coming.
That’s what sucks. What happened tonight is no longer the anomaly. It’s the norm.

This loss was obviously foreseeable to anyone without Cal glasses on. If they fired him tonight it would be 7 years too late for me. The man is not a coach. He’s a marketing guy.
Amen! Didn't even bother me at all. been through this so many times now i've zero emotions. it's hard to even really fathom how bad this actually is.
The fact we are the laughingstock of college basketball 2 of the last three years shouldn’t promote apathy, it should invoke outrage. Do not let Cal steal your joy going forward. We do need a change!
Not one time did Cal go small tonight. In a game where our big guys again did nothing, and the team we played had no big guys. He didn’t once try to put Burks In and just run. He stayed big and did what he always does. Goes back to old faithful that don’t work.
Haven’t cared like I used to for quite some time now. Fvck cal
I'm just sad. Not mad.
Sad that the rest of the tournament is ruined for me. Couldn't even enjoy the first day.
Sad that we are the laughingstock of the tournament. Again.
And, honestly, sad that the Calipari era that started so well is going down in flames to the point his legacy might already be irreprably tarnished.

If Cal stays, it will not go well. He will play the victim. His tired act will not go over good. I expect a lot of transfers. Cal will run his mouth as usual. Mock fans. Talk about the NBA and big contracts.
He is completely clueless to the fanbase.
I wasn’t earlier but I expected this but I’m now pissed more and more. Wtf are we doing these last few years as a program. What a joke
I’m irrationally angry. But that passion is what has driven me to go to great lengths to support UK basketball. But I will never set foot in a UK facility, buy another piece of UK merchandise or spend money on anything so long as Cal is there.
Numb..I'm used to this shit. I've got FOUR teams I root for in four major sports. The Kentucky Wildcats (College basketball), the Kentucky Wildcats (College football), the Atlanta Braves (MLB), and the Dallas Cowboys (NFL)..I'm used to disappointment. "My" teams have a total of TWO Championships since 1998. UK basketball winning the National Title in 2012 and the Atlanta Braves winning the World Series in 2021. That's all I've got since the the late 90s. Overall, it's been a tough 26 years for me in terms of sports. LMAO ! 🤣 I got to see all of my teams dominate in the 90s though.
I feel exactly this way. Probably because I’m optimistic tonight’s result sealed Cal’s fate at UK. I don’t know what’s going to happen, or how it’s going to happen…but this feels like a point of no return.
That’s my hope, my only hope. Not the recruiting class, not Reed coming back…it’s that I just watched John Calipari coach his last game at Kentucky. That’s all I’ve got right now.
I might have you beat.
UK Wildcats (basketball and football), Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Reds.
UK basketball was the only one I could count on being good every year. Key word there is "could." Now, I don't see much difference between current UK basketball and late-stage Marvin Lewis Bengals football.
The Reds are one of my favorite teams to watch the Braves play. Win or lose, it's almost always a fun series. Joey Votto still scares me every time he steps up to the plate. He's a damn great ball player. I like his and Ozzie Albies friendly banter and jokes they tell each other when the Reds and Braves play. I respect the heck out of Joey Votto. That kid y'all got now, Elly De La Cruz, is special. He is something else. I don't want my Braves to face y'all this year but I know we got 6/7 games vs. y'all this year and it's going to be tough.
There were many years where my schedule would always accommodate UK’s schedule. I would even decline social engagements if it conflicted with basketball.
But around 2020-2021, I got tired of losing. I had once cared so much, maybe too much, and yet now I’m no longer overly emotional at a loss. That bothers me, because I miss the happy times of March from years gone by.
Watch the tape, Cal!

Just a great crappy night. I've gotten hooked on watching a streamer (he does programming and talks about cybersec and has a soothing voice). Well, he streams at odd hours, but it's perfect to turn on and learn and sleep to. He just had an emergency come up and cancelled his stream for the night. Meaning another ding to my sleep. Ugh.
What a craptastic start to my three day weekend.
Thanks Cal for ruining yet another weekend for me. I hope to goodness it's the last one you do.

Agree. That loss was devastating. I cared way too much in 2015. I must admit that the 2017 loss was devastating, too, but with the Higgins shenanigans mixed in there was so much more to that story.
Truthfully, we’re only 2-6 under the referee Brian Dorsey who officiated last night. That’s an awfully low percentage of wins at 25%. http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/Officials/Brian_Dorsey.html I’d be curious if a call here or there would have changed the outcome.
Cal has killed interest in UK basketball. Rupp doesn't sell out anymore, you hardly see any UK shirts or hats out in public. Every season since 2012 has been an extreme disappointment.
It was expected but I am still pissed. if he won't leave on his own he needs to be run out. It is past time for his departure. If he was fish no one would be able to stay in the same room, he smells so bad.
Look I know Cal has been a disappointment of late but are we now blaming him for COVID?
I haven't gotten upset in a long time. I think it is because I have no expectations that CCC can win an SEC or NCAA tournament. I hope that I get surprised and the team does well, but I have no expectations of that happening.
