How will the 23/24 team be remembered as a whole?

[true blue1]

It could’ve and should’ve been a great team but bad Coaching cost that team from being great.

 

[502 Wildcat]

An electric group of players, absolutely and utterly wasted by poor coaching

 

[katwest]

Fun to watch but collapsed on the biggest stage.

 

[*CatinIL*]

The team that could score a lot of points, couldn't stop anybody, and was coached so poorly that they had double digit losses and lost to freakin Oakland in the first round of the tournament.

Pretty much sums it up.

Just another nightmare. Same one I have had for years. I also thought that this season the apathy for Kentucky Basketball was at an all time high. Not only did we suck, but everybody just kinda lost interest collectively. I quit watching games, never listened to the radio show and rarely read any articles. The whole season was just a bad constipative experience. Glad it ended when it did. It was like watching a sick pet mope around. Just shoot the bastard, put it out of its misery. That’s what I’ll remember about this team

other than trivia … they won’t … 😳

I'd have to think about it but perhaps the best mix of talent Can'tCoachCal had after the 2015 team, and just as badly coached as any of them. There was the talent to stay right with KU when that team had healthy players and could beat UConn. There was the coaching failure to never really teach any kind of defense at all, despite sensational athletes and size.

Also the team that finally brought the Cal nightmare to an end. That'll be the plus.

 

[L.O.D.]

Waste of talent

 

[YardCat]

The Enema boys, full of piss and vinegar on offense, shitty D, and lead by an asshole!

Yes. This pretty much covers it.

 

[Kentucky2022]

One coach away from being special..

 

[VAWildcat15]

A waste of talent.

 

[RexShepcat]

Who?

Really?

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Looked like Tarzan and played like Jane down the stretch.

 

[CALKAT]

All excluding graduates and draft prospects have left UK after a more than disappointing end of season.

Underachievers

 

[Seth_C]

They won’t be remembered.

 

[rick64]

Had 3 of the best 3pt shooters in the history of UK and couldn't beat f***ing Oakland.

 

[mebeblue2]

a team that was fun to watch but could not guard a rock
should have been a FF team

 

[WildmanWilson]

They were a fun and talented team that had all the pieces to win a championship except a coach.

I learned early on the true expanse and enormity of the Pacific Ocean. Deploying on an inspection team from Langley AFB, Virginia to Japan, we first flew a C-141 leg to Hawaii for a 36-hour layover. Hawaii, of course, or so I thought, was well on the way to Japan, and our flight to Kadena AB, Okinawa would be an easy hop. Boarding that same C-141 at Hickam AB in Honolulu, and taxiing to the active runway, the pilot advised us that our flight time would be 12.5 hours! Wow! I was thinking more like six! Big place, the Pacific.

When there is a Pacific Ocean's worth of distance between the talent level and the achievement, this team can only be labeled an underachieving "BUST." Yes, a few good tantalizing wins to rub salve on our wounds, but overall a catastrophic failure led by a guy who, in the end, just couldn't seem to muster the effort needed to dig himself out of a deep, dark abyss.
