They allowed 14....FOURTEEN freaking offensive rebounds!
Offensive rebounds killed the Cats...

Absolutely was the difference.
We need more guards according to alot on this board
And Tennessee can’t rebound today.
They have 11 offensive boards. But Houston has 12. UK only had like 3-4 offensive boards yesterday
It was a general lack of toughness, plain and simple.
Amen brother. We just stood around and looked at the friggin ball and let it hit the floor. We had sometimes 3 players around the ball and Tennessee had 1 and he came up with the rebound. Where is Oscar when we need him.
This team may of only lost 1-3 games all year if they could rebound + stay healthy.
Mark has got to get some "dudes" in here or next season won't be much better than this one.
And a general lack of effort if we are being honest. That’s what has me more concerned and disappointed than anything. If Pope can’t get our guys motivated to play in that game???
And speaking of rebounds…..better go snag Flory before someone else gets him too!!! We have way too many holes to fill than to let the very best targets slip away and sign elsewhere.
Amari and BG were the laziest rebounding and shot challenging bigs I've ever seen at UK. Every single game I've seen them stand flat footed not even putting their arms up to challenge a shot.
Bingo. People keep looking for cherry-picked stats to justify the loss, when the fact is the Cats were rarely ever prepared mentally for a game, generally didn't fight for the rebounds, 50/50 balls, just didn't fight.

If I could give you 1/2 a like I would have. It does seem that they weren’t prepared mentally and therefore didn’t fight hard enough. That might have come from 4-5th year seniors who weren’t used to diving on the floor. Trent Noah was our best 50/50 guy and rebounder for his size.
