That flop Williams got away with started the demise. They weren’t gonna let us win period!!

Now go play with a chip on your shoulder over getting a 2 seed
 
Pretty much exactly the lead we lost to Vandy in the championship game in 2012.

Eff it all.
 
We lose a close game in the semis to a top team and move down. North Carolina loses a close game in the semis to a top team and moves up. Science.

With a win we had 0% chance of Louisville. Now we have a 33% chance.

Hopefully this loss motivates the players and coach.
 
Why not call a TO on the last possession that could have tied the game? He selling the unused ones on Ebay or something?
 
You mean the last possession where PJ missed a one foot shot? Would the time out allowed a one inch shot or something? Do we get an extra guy when we call a TO?

For such a stupid coach you guys sure get a hardon for wanting him to call a TO and coach more. What a stupid thing to always bitch about.
 
Not seeing the Cal blame here. The turnovers and two shitty calls on Travis sealed our fate. UT had to play it perfect even with that, and they did.

I’m in the same boat.

Before Bone made the free throws to put UT up 4, we had 5 offensive possessions. Two of them resulted in careless turnovers. Herro failed to proper catch a pass for crying out loud. Washington scored a layup and a put back on two of the possessions, and he missed two shots at the rim on the last possession.

We got good shots in every possession that didn’t result in a turnover. If the turnovers were shot clock violations instead, we probably win the game.

The main coaching critique I could think of would be telling the guys not to help on drivers at all, risking layups. That’s hindsight though because I know that UT went 3/4 from deep
 
- [laughing] at this f*cking league. How many games is UK going to live in the paint, dominate points in the paint while their opponents jack 3s, but shoot less FTs? The officiating in this league is a joke. Probably no small part of why UK tends to be more successful in the NCAA-T than in its own league....

- It really only took 4 bullshit fouls against UK to change this game completely. The two against PJ in the 1H, and the last two against Travis in the 2H. The block call against Travis sending Williams to the FT was criminally bad, especially when the slot referee was about to call a charge. If he doesn't bitch-up and swallow his whistle, it becomes a "blarge," and goes to UK on the possession arrow.

- Nick and EJ with two big lapses down the stretch. First, Nick over-helping leaving Williams wide-open for a 3 to give UT the lead, then EJ not grabbing a rebound after a Schofield miss after we go up 1, 75-74. They didn't have *bad* games, but their lapses are too costly in a close game.

- Keldon Johnson needs to bottle his game in the 2H and keep it up through the tournament.

- Tough game for Herro, especially when it took the refs about 30min to start calling the off-ball holding.

- Ashton Hagans with 12 assists to 3 turns is ridiculous. Not really sure if he could play much better.

- Is the silver-lining in this loss a 2-seed in the West opposite Gonzaga? I can see us falling behind Sparty/UNC, Michigan, and UT on the 2-seed line.
