I’ve heard Shulman mention Kentucky twice today

[bigblueinsanity]

Total BS, the roster was very solidly put together. Injuries devastated us at PG.

How many of our current guys did bama, Florida, or Auburn try to get? None that in aware of. Because they had better players.

I like pope but its absurd to act like there weren't some serious issues with this year.

And both times Bilas stayed mute.

During the first game, he was talking about last night’s game and mentioned Kentucky being decimated with injuries.

Just now, he mentioned Kentucky beating Florida 106-100 when healthy.

Might mean nothing. Incredibly subtle. But for a guy who runs his mouth as much as Bilas, he sure doesn’t take an opportunity to brag on us in any way.

I would think that was a natural softball to the color commentator to talk about how good we were when healthy, and that we could still make a run, or whatever.

Been watching a lot of basketball for a lot of years. It’s a television show. I don’t think his silence is accidental.

I think it’s very much like when Ravech suggested to Jimmy Dykes that Pope should be in the running for COTY, and Dykes sidestepped the pitch and immediately started talking about Pat Kelsey.

Again, could be my imagination. Obviously I’m a biased Kentucky fan who craves any discussion about our team. But I swear I’ve heard more about UNC lately the us.

Considering that we are a top brand with the biggest fanbase, and how we’ve weathered so much adversity beating 8 top 15 teams in the process, it all feels a little weird.

Truly feel like it’s us against the world.

we lost by 30 yesterday.

Give it a rest man. No one is out to get us

What are you on about? What does us losing by 30 have to do with Shulman bringing us up twice and crickets from Bilas both times?

You’ve already proclaimed the season over. Now you’re just trolling.

Not what I said, but thanks for your contribution.

That is not a good argument. You are comparing apples to oranges. Those teams pretty much had their rosters. UK didn't. Do you really think that Auburn was going to go after Williams with Broome guaranteed being the starter? If you disagree with me, please just name some positions that any those teams needed to fill as much as we did.

I will even make it simpler: How many transfers did any of those 3 teams take for this season?

I would love to hear the "serious issues" if you include injuries in the discussion. We beat UT twice, Duke, Louisville and even Florida with a healthy roster. Injuries killed us.

About the only serious issue is that our defense hasn't been great all year. We beat Florida 106 to 100 is a good example. But, having said that, we are most likely a 3 seed after injuries to Carr, Butler, JR, Kerr, etc. Imagine where we would be with a healthy team?
