At least that’s what Saggy Cal used to say when Oakland types were eliminating us on the regular
I think that might be the most disgusted I've felt after a win.
LOL, late game at Clemson, late game all the way to the west coast. Down 2 players all of the sudden and some are jumping off of a cliff. Pathetic.
There's SEC records being discussed here and we need to have a discussion.
If this team goes 11-7 in SEC play.......this season......that is NOT BAD.
I'm just throwing that out there.
Like we could go 11-7 and still get a 2 seed or 3 seed. The wins vs Duke and Gonzaga. Any other non conference big win. 11 SEC wins. That's a stellar resume.

Love seeing AD and SGA with the love!
You're far too eager to try to divide the fan base into categories.
No one is jumping off of anything.
This was a pathetic performance and it's a real-time game thread. What type of fan is going to get out the pom poms and lead the C-A-T-S chant on a night like this?
Get some perspective.
They very well could, I don’t remember I think I said around that, I believe we can beat that now. 11-7 wouldn’t be bad in this kinda conference but I’d like to stay around 13-5ish but I’m not gonna think we are doomed after a bad game. Still won by double digits and 9-1 baby!
Put this game behind us, and get ready to kick Loserville's ass Saturday.
Good old stout beer is here to let everybody know how dumb they are compared to him everybody
Our EM change after this game = -1.27.
So we did lose more in this one than we gained in the Zags one.
That being said just dropped down one spot.

I would be tickled to death if this team goes 11-7 in the SEC. That probably gets us a 4 seed, with a shot at a 3
I do not think it will. These guys are missing absolutely wide open shots and Robinson is our biggest shot taker, but our worst shot maker from deep.
Yeah it was a poor effort all around. No energy at all. I am more upset about that. No defense, poor rebounding. No closeouts the majority of the game. Didn’t run our offense again. Lots of stuff to work on.
Correct. I did not see Art Laib play. Maybe he was weaker, softer????
He would have had to been in a diaper.
Yes, but this feels like a loss to me. This feels like Kentucky played JUST well enough to beat a sub 300 team. If we played WKU tonight, with this effort? We're losing. If this is how we play against a 14/15-seed in the opening round? We're going home.
I'm usually optimistic but I have to go with a pessimistic take after this game. There are games UK loses where I think "we played well enough" but then there's a game we win tonight that I just can't be happy with, other than that we eeked out the win. I think we're in for some lumps in SEC play, and if we don't find the right talent, there's only so much Pope can do.
The good news is that not having your PG really affects the team. But it also tells me just how important Butler really is.
I don't agree with your forecast. Kentucky looked bad tonight simply because they didn't won't to play hard and for most of the game, they didn't play hard. This had nothing to do with skills or talent. It was all about effort or the lack of.
Yep. And NCAA takes this kind of stuff into consideration. It won't cost a seed line, but if there's a tie for a seed or something, they can factor this in. "Man, Kentucky didn't beat Colgate as much as they should've."
Definitely shows how we need a PG, he means a lot to this team on both sides of the ball.
I’m just going to say this is one of those predictable lousy game, coming between an emotional Gonzaga ( and the long trip) and Louisville in three days. Not shocked by this.
We didn’t look good tonight but we still won. I like them having things to work on going into the Louisville game.
Plenty of things for Coach to run them over. Hopefully they come out with a fire on Saturday

For a team filled with 22 and 23 year olds, our motivational consistency seems to be as flighty as an 18 year-old OAD.
I think it's reasonable.
Not because I don't think this team isn't good or capable of having a better SEC record but rather because the SEC is just so talented this season compared to previous ones.
You are going to see a bunch of SEC teams hovering around .500 IMO. Some of those teams being very good ones.
Skal was not a 7 footer and he definitely wasn't a 5, even though our coach tried to force him into that position.

10-8. And that’s not bad given the strength of the conference and this being Pope’s first year.
In fairness, this game highlighted effort issues that are starting to define the team, and that's a problem for the rest of the season. We can't rely on a strong second half in the SEC gauntlet.
I'd argue we have two of the five best wins in Men's CBB so far this season, but this team needs to do some soul searching.
Seemed like Williams spent a lot of time ball watching instead of going after rebounds
I think this is a good thing tho.
Like I think the computers definitely take this into account.
For the humans that are still doing the seeding, it's still very much a matter of "did you win". Just too many games from every team to focus on a specific game in the middle of December against Colgate
Cats put up a stinker tonight. Hopefully they got it out of their system and come ready to fight Saturday.
The offense won’t ever be what it can 100 percent be because of our bigs. This offense has to have a big who can shoot, and we don’t.
Also, and for as much as I liked Cal.. what do we think his record would be with THIS team? 4-6? Does he even get 4 wins by now?
I don't want to understate, in my opinion, just how much this is proving Pope's value. His coaching (and yes, the player execution as well) is dragging this team across the finish line several times now. Not trying to dog the team, but this roster, especially without Butler, feels like a Georgia tech roster or Arizona st.

Not jumping over the moon but ain't gonna whine over a double digit win over anybody.
Learn, adapt and win.
By the way, congrats to Noah. He played the best of the three youngest guns.
