A tale as old as time. 3 points total for the first 6 minutes of the game. 1-8 from the field.
Great Start by Texas A&M

Yeah I tried to warn the gamblers. You got to take the hawgs and deal with the Muss Nip Slip.
Going to spoil it for you now, Arkansas isn’t losing at home. Texas A&M can’t win away from it. Super simple formula.
A&M isn’t even trying to attack the rim and when they do they aren’t getting ever single whistle. The commentators just said Mussleman said he was gonna take away their two guards and let the other 3 guys try to beat them. I wonder why Cal didn’t try that in the second half.
(Edited). Sorry, frustrated with our lack of fundamental defense.

UNC Greensboro and Auburn may beg to differ about winning at Bud Walton. Long way to go in this one.
because he sucks, is stubborn, and doesnt put winning as the #1 priority
This was as predictable as a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck.

0-7 from the 3 point line and most have been wide open looks.
They don’t call him CCC for nothing.
Since 2010, fading the team who beats UK in their next game would have made you a wealthy sports bettor.
Losing 30-10 and on pace for 36 points. Awesome
Cause he is a horrible bench Coach - he didn’t make one adjustment- like trap em or deny ball - that’s why we can’t win any titles anymore he really is that bad of a Coach
WORST in game coach for a power 5 school. Too stubborn to make adjustments.
KY effect on full display. Olanned for it. I have UT, Bama, & Arkansas all on a 3 team parlay. Go Hawgs. lol
But of course. They were hyped up on home court crack. I hope Arkansas demolishes them. Bring those arrogant punks back down to Earth.
They aren’t very good. And it brings into question the ceiling for this UK team.
Maybe Arkansas is just guarding. Announcers were talking earlier about how bad UK defense is.
Nope, they aren’t playing the same way. Against us they were putting their head down and driving because they knew the whistle would bail them out. They aren’t doing it and it’s there.
Arkansas is ranked in the 300’s in scoring defense. Their D sucks too. A&M has missed numerous wide open looks they drilled on Saturday. A tale as old as time
A&M has had a ton of wide open looks but can’t make them. Points mostly in offensive rebounds.
Guys like Wade Taylor will have games where he goes off and then will have games where he stinks it up
It isn’t the Kentucky effect, it’s more Kentucky is dogshit defensively. They let Radford who is a left handed player get to his left hand all day, they let Taylor get off good looks all day
Arkansas is ranked in the 300’s in scoring defense…A&M has had wide open look after wide open look. Throwing up bricks. Definitely an element of the Kentucky effect on the road against an underachieving, desperate team.
Arkansas has a black Ronald McDonald.
What a smart, original post.
A team who'll likely put up 80 plus points every game and has a lot of potential for improvement on defense has a national championship ceiling.
What's the ceiling of Purdue after getting blown out by Nebraska and losing to Northwestern? What's the ceiling of Kansas after losing to UCF? What's the ceiling of Tennessee after losing to Mississippi St.? What's the ceiling of Duke after losing to Georgia Tech?
0-13 on threes. What a joke.
0-13 either means the Kentucky effect is real and should be studied or our defense is just that bad.
Maybe, Kentucky also gives every team they play wide open looks all game, and also can’t guard anybody off the dribble
A&M is not a very good team. It’s annoying to see teams blow their load vs UK and then look like a jv team next game.
Thank God for Calipari. Probably got that kid drafted.
Don’t disagree. But Arkansas is just as bad, if not worse defensively. We knew there’d be a good chance they would come back down to earth tonight. Some of their wide open looks aren’t even hitting the rim
Our ball screen coverage against guys like him has always been confusing to me. Our guards go under a lot, even on good shooters and let other guards walk into wide open 3s

So UK’s defense is bad because A&M has gone 0-13 from 3 this game.
Got it.
Got it.
Have we improved on defense since the beginning of the year? Doesn’t look like it to me. Why do you think we’re about start improving?
Kentucky defense is bad because they let every team they play get wide open looks and get to the rim whenever they want
