I mean he ain't wrong but still. Didn't like hearing that.
Brad Underwood: UK kept letting us back in. It's what they do.

Brad you were the betting favorite and we did what we do.
Funny, I never felt like we “let them back in “. Kinda of self criticism anyway. A sensible statement would have been “we kept fighting back “
Brad can't get to the S16 once again. it is what he does.
Yeah I mean it's been obvious all season we've got a bit tight and careless at the end of games.
When teams start getting a bit desperate and the refs swallow the whistle... UK is absolutely a wreck. I think once we start getting more athletes this can be mitigated a bit. Right now everything has to be nearly perfect.
The Texas game was a prime example.

They started hitting contested 3s to make the game not embarrassing. We controlled the entire second half pretty easily.
Maybe him and Hurley can go get a drink together tonight
Go drink another scotch Brad
You and the Euro PG were dominated

They play kind of wild, honestly. After hearing how good they were, I was surprised by how their offense just was wild three point chucking.
It’s true
When we get a ten pts lead we play cute
But we won so LFG!! Sweet 16 yall!

I couldn't believe all their stupid turnovers. Normally teams don't make bad plays against us like that.
Sounds like some shiz a sore loser might say.
Yes but he has lost in the Round of 32/64 like 4 out the last 5 years.
Ah yes, the 30-0 run game 🤣
I don’t either, we controlled the entire game.
To be fair I think they made elite 8 last year.
Our coach wasn't talking ish lol
He's not wrong, but he's not right either. Kentucky's inability to keep its foot on the throttle has been a problem at many times this season, with almost catastrophic results in Oklahoma. But tonight was actually different. If I recall correctly, Illinois never pulled closer than six in the second half, and when they did, Kentucky answered every single time, rattling off points until the lead swelled to the double digits. I was worried in the second half, but honestly, only out of habit or reflex, and because the stakes were so high. Kentucky rarely looked at risk. I'd love to believe the team rounded a corner with that tonight.
(But as long as we are taking pot shots, I was surprised at how soft Illinois was. They couldn't stop us.)

He looks like a drunk and bitches and cries the whole game. F that guy
They got it to 6 but that's two 3-pt possessions for a team that shoots 31% from there on the season. They shot 28% for the game
Some of the games where we let people back in we were without point guards. The blown game at Texas, and the nearly blown game at Oklahoma spring to mind.
I’m sure you made great points. I just personally hate run on sentences and words that should have been broken into paragraphs.
But hell yeah. Go cats.
The calls are what let the Illini creep back into the game!!
It's the NCAA Tournament. A lot of good teams struggled with putting teams away with big leads. We still would have won by 15 if we didn't ease up at the end and let them hit garbage baskets. It also didn't help us that they only had 1 foul in the first 8 and a half minutes and 3 with I think 7 or 8 minutes to go. Then calling fouls on us on multiple possessions in a row. Hard to pull away like that
Then he is the fool, if UK let them back in, and he still got beat by double digits, what does it say about his coaching.
Sounds like Brad might be a bit of a bitch.
The more I think about it, the more his comment reads with a sense of failure as a coach. I mean, if he watched enough UK tape to know that blowing leads was a team tendency, then you know he told his squad, No matter the score, keep fighting, don’t panic, Kentucky will let you back in the game. But Kentucky kept gunning tonight, and it’s possible that his advice instilled a sense of false security. Just a WAG.
He can always fall back on his acting career
We did make some stupid turnovers and missed some FTs in the 2nd half, but they got no closer than 9.
So "letting us back in" is a bit of an overstatement.
Yeah, I’m wordy as a mofo.
