True but it also has to do with a starting lineup that had proven detrimental. There was zero reason for it.

And, for some reason, running your offense through Washington down the stretch.

How F’ing stupid would Rivers be to run his offense in Game 7 in the fourth quarter through DeAndre Jordan? Thats what Cal just did.

Washington still fouled out almost half of their rotation. He’s not a great free throw shooter, but shooting that bad is still a fluke. Nobody was playing well. SGA and Quade were turning it over for no reason, Knox couldn’t dribble, and our two headed monster at the five were absolutely worthless.

The game was an all around shit show. What a depressing way to go out.

Knox talked shit pregame then performed like the gash we all thought he was.

 

[wcc31]

-sad to say, but I'm not that pissed, I'm kinda apathetic. This is what UK is under Cal.

You’re not pissed? Put the f’ing weed away

 

[Midway Cat]

Seemed too good to be true, and it was.

Making the Final Four this season could've made up for a couple of our prior crushing postseason defeats, but that's just not possible for Kentucky. We never luck into anything. Either we earn it the hard way, or it doesn't happen. Ever.

Turbo False. If you're apathetic about that go watch American Pickers.

What did Knox say pregame?

 

[BristolCat]

PJ missed free throws, but of course he did. PJ was the only guy who brought fire today.

I recognize that and have zero issue having him in the game as he was our best player. I have a huge issue with running our offense through him on the post after his first 10 misses. You’re setting the dude up to fail.

 

[Booker Noe]

I’m not mad at PJ missing FT’s. Let’s keep trying to grind it out in 2018

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

This team had no business being in the Final Four to begin with. Truth.

OBTW, Bruce Weber and Leonard Hamilton are in the Elite 8 this year.

 

[wcc31]

What did Knox say pregame?

Said he wanted Wade to play so they would have no excuses.

 

[warrior_SW]

At the end of the day, if you can’t shoot, you can’t win.

We hit what, 7 threes in three tournament games?

 

[rudd1]

-expectations were low...I was prepped for disappointment.

 

[catholic_back]

DUCK THIS GAY EARTH

 

[BleedBlueCats21]

Is this what existential crisis feels like?

 

[woodfordandwater]

Was set up to be a great weekend. Four games tomorrow night, two on Saturday, two on Sunday. Final Four on a platter. Heaven.

Now I won't watch a second of this dumb sport until November.

Fvck you, John.

Expectations change, when you’re staring down a 9 and 11 seed to get to the Final Four you expect to get there no matter how terrible the season was.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Well at least I have a screaming headache at 12:30 a.m.

KSU took away other options - they crowded SGA on the pick and roll and forced him into way too many turnovers; and they recognized the obvious about Knox coming off of screens, namely that he has to go counter-clockwise every single time. He can't go the other direction at all.

 

[Booker Noe]

I mean Cal was siting on a time-out and turned his back while green shot a double pum 3 down 2.

 

[_Chase_]

I am absolutely 100% over the one and done bullshit unless we have multiple lock lottery picks in a single class. It is a depressing disappointing shit show at any other time.

 

[Joey Rupption]

Welp, I’ll be watching Ken Burns’ Civil War and/or Nazi documentaries until sun up again, I guess. Good luck, all.

 

[Hankshaker]

Yeah. This team sucked all year. Calipari turned it into something halfway decent toward the end (as he does) but no one thought this pack of jokers was anywhere near actually good.

But we can't beat KSU and Loyola in March to make the Final Four? Good, sweet Lord. That's embarrassing .

 

[UK_Norm]

Most of us expected to go out early, but at the hands of Arizona or Virginia. But when your path to the Final Four is 12, 13, 9, and 11 then expectations change.

Golf season. College basketball is over.

 

[wcc31]

At the end of the day, if you can’t shoot, you can’t win.

We hit what, 7 threes in three tournament games?

Once again- our star freshman shooter (following Booker, Murray, Monk) was a fraud in the NCAA.

 

[BristolCat]

It's partially on us. They beat Davidson and Buffalo and we thought they were getting it. They didn't get anything. Need some fresh blood in here. Hope guys like Keldon Johnson, Quickley, and whatever bigs we add have some GD fight in them. Some of these guys will be up on instagram within the hour.

 

[catholic_back]

THANK GOD in January decided this team wasn’t worth reserving a weekend for. Jackson Hole next week, where I’m sure I’ll probably die or something fun.

-yep.

- to your second point...im not counting on a new crop of freshmen leading us to the promised land. At this point it would be an anomaly, not the norm.

 

[Phil McKracken]

Need to give John a couple years to get his players and system in place before I hold judgment.

 

[WayneDougan]

It's partially on us. They beat Davidson and Buffalo and we thought they were getting it.

Plus a relatively easy path in the SEC. We were only a few weeks past getting smoked by Florida.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Promise I am not trying to be cute, but can we have any expectations for next year? I sure would appreciate if someone let me know.

 

[west-ky-wildcat]

Bull shit. It’s not on us. You pay a man 8 mil and he damn well better beat a 12, 13, 9 and 11. No excuses. Our expectations aren’t too high, our ROI is too low.

 

[_Chase_]

Wake me up next year right before the SEC tournament. By that time we should be through our 7-10 loss growing pains and peaking just in time for our dog shit conference tournament, just before we end the year with an incredibly painful and avoidable disappointment in the tournament.

F*CK THIS

 

[woodfordandwater]

I am absolutely 100% over the one and done bullshit unless we have multiple lock lottery picks in a single class. It is a depressing disappointing shit show at any other time.

Well it's not changing. If anything, it's getting worse. Kids have now seen a parade of one & dones roll through Lexington for the better part of a decade now. Current high school seniors were in 3rd grade when Calipari was hired. It's all they've ever seen.

If you go to Kentucky, that's the expectation. Leave. As soon as possible. Whether it's a good idea or not. You stay for more than a year or two, something's wrong with you.

 

[Booker Noe]

How about being a slight bit humble?

 

[SAECATFAN]

Let’s see what KSR tells us to think Monday. Are they still shaming people for being upset about a 4 game losing streak?

 

[Hankshaker]

Sure as shit would have been nice to see what Charles Matthews and Izak Humphries could do tonight.

 

[BristolCat]

Said it's on us that we thought these guys had grown up and become realistic contenders, bud. Take a breath before responding to something that wasn't said.

 

[BristolCat]

Sure as shit would have been nice to see what Charles Matthews and Izak Humphries could do tonight.

Matthews had 18 and 5 boards on 8-11 shooting in a 27 point blowout. Not sure about the Aussie.
