Drinking helps but brings about other issuesHaving a full week between games and losing to a mid-major on your home court is going to just give us a full week to marinate in this loss, and it will be nothing but misery here. I'll be checking in but not posting much.
Merry Christmas to all of you! I suggest finding some kind of distraction this week.
Yeah, I completely agree with you WeWant9. I was afraid this young team might read too many headlines and begin to think too highly of themselves. Add in that Bradshaw was coming back and it was almost like the team just expected to show up and win. We lost that game in the first half. Fell behind early and let them have the first half. And when we finally did take the lead, it felt like the team half expected Wilmington to just roll over at that point, but they punched back.

I’m there with you, but for some reason this one really ruined my day
The lack of effort and fight pisses me off more than anything. Yeah, Cal is not Cal anymore, etc. We've discussed that ad nauseum. But to see the lack of heart from even dudes like Shep (up until the second half)? Man that was discouraging. We were supposed to have DAWGS this year. Dudes that didn't like getting punched in the mouth and when they did get hit in the mouth, they start laughing. Frustrated the crap out of me. Thought this group, especially this group after showing fight during the KU game and the Miami beatdown, was above it.
Same. I think it was because we FINALLY saw a return to Kentucky Basketball and getting a HUGE OOC win only to have it yanked away AGAIN.
I’ve stopped getting upset. Not sure if it’s age or just apathy, or a mix of the two. There’s no reason why this program should be losing at home like this. I think it’s a culture issue.
Agreed but Cal is going to work on perfecting that in-bound play for Bradshaw to post his man, lob it to him. reverse to the top of the key and start the weave.
I wouldn't trade the roster either. The coach however, I'd trade for Elmer Fudd if that was an option.
If she does get crazy and wild I hope she posts pics
I don’t think this is that bad. We got a really clear picture of what is broken. Some of it is going to take some player sacrifice to fix. This offense everyone was so hyped about was a fantasy, attributable to better spacing and passing. Shooting is going to come and go. Right now, the massive gap is defense. We scored over 70. If you care for business on the defensive end, that’s enough for a W.Having a full week between games and losing to a mid-major on your home court is going to just give us a full week to marinate in this loss, and it will be nothing but misery here.

It's hard for a UK fan to think ahead these day's because there's no such thing as a guaranteed victory with Cal. It sucks.Having a full week between games and losing to a mid-major on your home court is going to just give us a full week to marinate in this loss, and it will be nothing but misery here.

Well I almost puked the last time I saw them play a game, just sayin'I hope this week's practices are brutal. That's the good thing here, no game this week.. it's all practice. And I hope they practice until they puke.
For me it’s not age it’s definitely the toll of losing games like Saturday constantly underperforming the traditional standards of our program. I love uk basketball there’s nothing like walking into rupp approaching the section your seating it and walking into see all the tradition in the rafters the players warming up to uphold that. Nothing like it. Maybe removing big Bertha was a hex on the program because there is a correlation lol
Yeah that Penn team is a final four type team... need to find out if they have a bird as a mascot before we let them in...
I texted my friend (he’s a Cal apologist) before the UNC Wil game that I was actually excited to watch games again, first time in years
Yeah I love card collecting in general and spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos though I'm more into collecting trading card game cards (Pokemon and Magic) than sports cards now. I've also gone well down the YouTube rabbit hole of true crime channels and some travel channels (fun to see people explore first-hand parts of the world I'll never get to see). Fun to have these interests to fall back on and not just UK basketball outcomes which are way too unpredictable.
