***** Official Kentucky - Alabama Game Thread *****

Nate Oats wants to pour it on, eh?

Assholes will be an asshole. Let's just put it in our memories and when they are down or hurting, kick their damn teeth in.

Speaking of pain, I'm going to take some damn meds and go back to bed before this nasty weather gets here.

Sorry I missed this one. Everyone try and have a good night. Be safe all.

Well I didn’t expect us to quit after that decent first half. This second half was bad no matter how we slice it. Pretty un acceptable even with injuries.

Pretty good effort considering the injuries.
Honestly don’t think it was effort. We got smacked and lost confidence. We will be ready to play next game. Hard to watch and it’s natural to be upset after that. However, we simply did not have enough to stay with them.
 
I'm really not sure we are even in this with a fully healthy roster.

Bama was just very good tonight.

UK is clearly the 5th best team in this conference. But the 5th best team in this conference isn't a bad first year for Pope and it's one that can still turn some heads in the NCAA tournament.
 
He’s leading us in scoring

they do if we start hitting threes. pope was going to have to give up something. we have zero quickness.
That is the reason why I said Perry to include all of our freshmen are playing out of their league. They have to work so hard on defense that it takes away from their strength which is supposed to be shooting.

We better pony up huge in the offseason. We as a BBN should want the best players. We need to give our coach the resources to do it. Then if he don’t there is nothing else to blame.
That’s the honest takeaway right there. They were the haves and we were the have nots. Let’s see if we are gonna go all in on basketball with NIL because right now we aren’t there

Come on man. Be reasonable. 20 of those 3's per game are sitting on the bench.

We have no playmaker or primary ball handler.

Of the good shooters we have left only Brea can get his own shot....Chandler to an extent. Perry, Noah, Almonor absolutely cannot right now.
Extra pass enough guys can sink a 3 i thought that is who we are. We are playing #1 scoring, #1 3s and we think we can shoot less 3s than them? Math don't math.

Bro 19 3s and we were down big forever???

We may not win, but this would be a much better game if we were 💯 We lost by five at home with a full roster and even then we weren’t fully healthy.

I understand the injures and stuff that’s why I haven’t been down on them all year. It’s been an objectively great year but that was not the way to go out. Get beat by a better team fine. Lose by 14, fine. Just don’t quit and we did.
 
Embarrassing. We have one of the top NIL budgets in the nation and Louisville with a new coach probably on a better projectory than us and both coaches are first year. Got to get some studs. I don't even think that Louisville's best transfer was even eligible this year.
Gotta love their projectory.
Good lord.

I don’t agree that we quit tho. Respect where you are coming from. Pay mind to Oates in the huddle mid game. He was telling his guys we shouldn’t be in the game. Sadly, he was right

No PG on the floor.

Seriously man...think about it for a second. Perry is not a true Pg and neither is Chandler. We had two true PG's on this team. Just look at the last 1.5 minutes last night.

That is a really big deal...0 healthy PG on the roster.

I agree it really hamstrings any team. We just don’t have the horses without Butler to run the show.
