Kentucky vs. Clemson Game Thread

Every single offensive set we ran tonight, our boys absorbed more contact than clemson's man did. BS bailout call that puts the cherry on top of a BS called game in general
 
Someone was arguing with me in one of the other game threads about not needing a go-to guy because so many guys can score. This game is all the proof you need as to why we (any team) 100% needs a guy who can go get points when you absolutely need it.

We’re probably gonna lose quite a few games when we are shooting poorly, just like tonight. We aren’t good enough in other areas of the game to overcome bad shooting against decent competition. Live by the 3, die by the 3. And we’re lucky we haven’t died by the 3 yet.
 
If we had gone for 2s instead of 3s at the 2 minute mark, we could have possibly taken the lead since Clemson only scored 1 point during that stretch.

Pope needs to answer for this. No, seriously. Guy has some explaining to do and Mitch needs to send a message. Cal got us in this mess and there's no excuse even with new blood. Seriously.

It's not about the loss as much as it is about how we lost. Really being exposed and jacking up threes. Not good. This is not Kentucky basketball.
 
Oh look. A soft foul to seal the game….almost like that hasn’t been called the opposite way all game.

This was a controlled outcome. Whether it’s from Vegas or bc it’s a made for TV game and the ACC needed the win

They’ve been allowed to hit and bang every drive, every play.
I hate CBB refs so much man. We didn't shoot well, may have lost with a fairly called game anyway, but we have a chance to overcome the bad shooting with a fair whistle. It changes the dynamic so much, changes the mentality of the players, effects EVERYTHING.

They lost Joe Girad and PJ Hall.

Not the same team.
And they added pieces from the portal. You return everyone but 2 guys and you still have an e8 foundation. There is a reason they are a top 25 KenPom team

All that said, despite the officiating playing into their physical style, we hit open 3/ and we win
