That was my thinking too. Man, people give up too easy.
I mean it was a five point deficit lol. It sure felt bad at the moment but how could you give up that easily?
Interesting you mention going to sleep after getting down big. The last time I actually did that was this game :
“Down Big?” Oklahoma’s biggest lead of five points — with more than nine minutes to go — lasted one possession, and about 20 seconds of game time.
You must have timed your surrender perfectly. Well done.

It's not that we "give up too easy." It's that it is SO PAINFUL for us to see the 'Cats lose that we just turn the game off rather than expose ourselves to the possibility of that painful experience. At least, that's the way I feel about it. But the honest truth is ... after I turn the TV off, I'll pull up the ongoing report about the game on the ESPN website (which is great, by the way, for following a game). Last night, I followed the play-by-play on ESPN until the OK kid made the free throw to put them up 1 with 0:20 left. I turned to a different website for a couple of minutes and then went back to the ESPN website and was elated to see that the 'Cats won !
When you get old, you'll understand.
Go 'Cats ! ! !

Grats to BBN I have much rather have a 1 point road W than a 1 point L.
On the road in the SEC if tuff you got to beat them and the refs! Well most of the time.
OU was pretty much playing for the tourney birth and has been playing good ball lately at home.

I was scratching my head thinking maybe I fell asleep for part of the game and didn’t know it. I don’t remember us being down big.It's not that we "give up too easy."

Kentucky basketball is pretty much back to being exciting again. Very much unlike the past 5 years or so under Cal. It's not good to give up any longer early in a game. Cal ruined many of us to not be excited about our team like in the past. New coach in charge and I like the change so far. Don't give up on him and his team so early.
