Not even close to same team. It sucks but it is what it is.
Three fifth year Seniors sitting on the bench in street clothes. That tells the tale of this season.
Can’t dwell on what might have been.

Seems like injuries have plagued UK for the past 5 years. We can’t make it with a full squad without injuries that seem to derail us from our full potential.
I think we'll be good for at least two wins in the NCAAT, maybe 3, even with the freshmen. But then it'll be 50/50 in the E8 as that competition will be equivalent to what we had to deal with in the SEC.
But the experience these young kids have gotten due to our injury plagued old guys will indeed help next week.

That can't be overlooked and it's not talked about enough. Having to play the freshmen so much is a blessing in disguise. If they stick around next season, they'll be much better.
No doubt and they have improved especially in confidence. But seasoned Sec vets— Sears, ziegler, Taylor IV etc.. can feast on youth.
What is overloooked is the roster ups and downs and mental toll on players hurt, come back, hurt again, out for season, no back again. Yadayada.
I will dwell on this season for a while honestly. This team has been so awesome but just decimated and they probably won’t get anything they deserves way more than 10 conference wins, more than 23 wins overall, and a chance at a final 4.
Exactly and have no idea why- seems every yr the injury bug gets us- I thought it was just Cal and some of his BS but maybe not
I remember thinking how deep we were in Nov. No huge star but great depth. Sucks
I think it comes down to Brea making 4-5 threes a game and then getting 6-7 more from everyone else. Any type of 6-24 or 8-27 game from three will doom this team. They’re too deficient in other areas to make a serious run.
It doesn't help that a UK player mouth contacting an elbow is a foul on the mouth. And being hip checked to the floor is legal. Meanwhile we get called for smacking Baker Flopper in the face.
