The defense was a night and day improvement in the second half, and is largely what won us that game. I love the toughness our guys showed, and Pope aced it with his in game adjustments for his first big game here. It’s a great feeling all around after what we struggled through over the last few years.
No way I can go to sleep right now! Guess I'll be dragging ass at work tomorrow. 🤣
You were fully exposed with your 6 to 10th seed crap. However, I do give you credit for not hiding.
Not tonight Satan! LOL!Duke wanted to tie the all-time series tonight.
"No tie for you! Next!"
Y’all I’m seriously in tears
I’ve missed this so much

Pope and this team make me smile and wonder if Arkansas fans have connected the dots yet. That makes me smile even more.
All the doomers in here the 1st half after being down less than 10 points… brothers, cal is gone. The days of no adjustments and no offensive sets are gone. Duke looked great tonight, and we still won. HOPE IN POPE
Hell yes! Can’t wait to watch the second half in the morning! Told yall Pope would kill it here! GBB!
Reed Sheppard was born one year too early. Imagine him on this team
Flagg and Knueppel would be dominant if they came back next year
what we've learned though thru the pain of several years is, they don't come back.

impressive team play even when robinson was off. one of the best efforts i’ve seen from a uk team in years
Brea had some key rebounds and solid defense
Just leaving the game. People screaming cats cats cats chants all the way out. I had 9 Duke pukes to the left of me jacking Cooper Flagg off all night. When he dribbled off his foot I lost my shit. It was a great night to be a Cat
Yeah I’m an idiot sometimes man. I overthink shit to much. I will take this L no doubt about it. I came at you and @know1 and and the woodsmoke guy and was wrong. So for that fellas I say you are smarter than me lol. I apologize for being an ass. I’m just happy the cats are back to making me look like a stupid overthinker again
To be fair nobody knew how we would play tonight. I mean most thought we had a shot but it’s not out of the realm to think we could be a 6 seed. I, just glad we fought and proved we can do big things.
I really hate seeing fans fold before games but I’ll give you some love for admitting it and getting on the Pope train.
It wasn't just you pal....like many I was just not used to having a coach make adjustment after adjustment until he found out what worked. And we haven't seen experienced players that just fight and fight in a very long time.
Unbelievable effort by all
So long since uk had that swag
So long since uk had a coach to make adjustments on offense and defense

I let Cal ruin me. Had no faith. Expected to lose.
F*ck that attitude. We have a real basketball coach and experienced players who FIGHT.
I’m all in again and it feels great.

Duke has a squad. I suspect they'll be top 10 and favorite to make a deep run all year.
Kudos to them. Scheyer looks to be the real deal post K. He can coach, and he can recruit.
That Cooper kid will most likely be All American, Wooden Award in addition to first overall. The definition of once in a generation talent.
Interesting observation though, Dukes legs literally gave out at the end. It wasn't just Flagg, I mean all those kids looked beat. Our squad looked like they could play another game.
We won that game, and we really didn't play great. Missed a lot of lay ups, missed a lot of 3s, best shooter wasn't a huge factor tonight.
That was a classic grit game. Hung around, played tough the whole game, never looked great, but never looked beat either...won in the end when it counted.

Just released and enjoy the ride again. Have faith, imagine what pope can do with top talent, depth, and upperclassmen.
Duke is damn good, I definitely don’t want to meet them in March unless it’s in the final 4 or something.
I really can’t think of a scenario where I’d be happier with my team tonight. They had maturity, skill, fight, and represented Kentucky. I’m so happy. I needed this one too.
Where is all the quitters at? Half this board has the Cats losing with 20 minutes left. Had Kentucky being dominated in the SEC.
He hit a couple early 3’s to keep us in it first half too.
Sorry…I disagree. He’s their best player. He’s darn good. If he was at UK fans would all be wearing Flagg jerseys.
I’m a full believer now man. I’m not doubting until that clock says zeros on it. I’m not gonna be able to go to sleep tonight I’m so amped up lol. I gotta be at work at 6 lol. Big Kentucky wins do that
I hear what you are saying but to declare this team to be 10th seed at halftime of a game they were only down by 9 points was more like wishing them bad luck. The team hadn't played well and was hanging in there showing real heart while some fans were trashing them. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT.
Me too and I don’t care. I am Doron Lamb team no sleep!
Robinson getting 1 point and Kentucky winning this game has to be a very positive sign right
I agree, I definitely thought we could come back, I just didn’t know if we had the defensive effort that we showed. That is bigger than anything IMO.
