**OFFICIAL KENTUCKY VS TEXAS A&M GAME THREAD**

[Dontworryboutit23]

I hope everybody in here is ready, every damn road game is gonna be like this because of how terrible our defense is

 

[oldsports_]

Rebounding cost us this game

 

[crashtestdummy]

Rebounding effort terrible

 

[Big BlueBeard]

A Bradshaw 3 attempt. That exactly what we needed. /faceplam

I think the shot clock was real close to expiring.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Bradshaw predictable missed 3 in a clutch moment

Guess you forgot about last week. If he doesn't make thar 3 we are 0 and 2 on sec road.

 

[bbncal02]

Still want to CRY about 8 on 5.

Oh shut up. We were owed one.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Such a BS game.

 

[ukfan117]

Unbelievable the opportunities they had and still piss it away. All around the worst called and still had a chance.

No matter how good or bad, Kentucky gave them this game.

 

[HenryMuto]

Shocked they called off foul on that dagger 3 that should ended us.

Reed missed a FT he couldn't afford to miss.

This is a learning experience hopefully we learn from it.

 

[Nooneputsbabyinacorner]

Refs have been generous I must say

Should be illegal

 

[permdaddy]

if those 2 calls went against us there would be court cases

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Might be one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

Thanks Jay.

This troll needs to hit the highway.

 

[gharding07]

When you can’t rebound or play defense you’re screwed.

Exactly. Doesn't matter how good our offense is. A big experienced team like this will do this to us every time.

 

[drew_ukfan]

TAMU fans care about basketball for first time in their life

 

[ck-2]

For the coaches out there, any defensive adjustments this game?

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Still want to CRY about 8 on 5.

Why

 

[megablue]

Gotta be honest … we’re getting a bunch of calls … glad to see it, though.

 

[Chief Paducah]

Good teaching moment for Cal. Texas A&M wanted it more and fought harder for loose balls.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I really really really like this team.

Cal is I’ll make them worse if he’s not careful. We need energy on defense and some heart on rebounding. Need our main dog back. He’s out with injury. More heart than all these big guys combined

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Another friggin patented 4 minute scoring drought when the game is on the line.

 

[Mash 2.4]

I think Bradshaw has some potential to be a good player some day. Probably not at Kentucky. But if your team gives up 4 or 5 offensive rebounds with him on the floor. He’s no use to you.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Still pissed about the goaltending BS.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

We got out dogged in a dog fight

Yeah, and wearing milkbone underwear

 

[YardCat]

Seems like in the half court game our guys don’t know how to get rebounding position

 

[ala_kat2]

I think we are done.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Tamu has an attractive dance squad

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

difference between this game and the UF game is that A&M isnt missing all their damn Ft's .....

 

[oldsports_]

Jay will call SEC office Monday. He's big Mad

 

[NociHTTP]

This team ain’t doing shit in March unless the rebounding and defense get fixed, and I don’t see either of them getting fixed easily

Ugonna is too slow, Bradshaw is afraid of contact.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

I know, I know. Not the time to say this….

Cal must have superior athletes to win. He never does a thing to adjust or give his team an advantage

Never once changed defenses!

 

[Fox2monk]

Lot of over reaction going on in here. Yes our defense needs work. It’s a road game, they are tough. Especially with refs like this.

 

[know1]

Late in this game, the refs have kept us in it. Nobody should be crying about officiating.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Another friggin patented 4 minute scoring drought when the game is on the line.

Wrong people shooting.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Defense depends on effort. Honestly, this was not a well-called game and the team did what they could. The fact that Bradshaw had four fouls on him before the 16-minute mark of the second half was absolutely devastating as it was ridiculous.

But that said, I think most people on this board were expecting a loss so this should absolutely be no surprise. Texas A&M home court advantage is so real that if it had hands it could slap you firmly in the face. A&M wasn't going to lose this game and we will beat them like a rented mule in the SEC tournament. I HATE playing at their place. It's always a foul fest on our side and it's not even. I mean, they have shot nearly 30 FTs this game. We haven't even made it to 20.

 

[megablue]

I hope everybody in here is ready, every damn road game is gonna like this because of how terrible our defense is

You are 200% right !!!!

 

[catben]

If you play this horribly on defense, you MUST score EVERY trip in OT AND make sure you REBOUND the opponents misses!!!!!

Our rotation on defense is PATHETIC!!!

 

[fatguy87]

A&M hitting us where it hurts the most, interior shot defense.

 

[KyCatFan]

A&M probably gets a rebound on the miss and we foul and it's to late to come back.

 

[bbncal02]

This is Q1 game. Just needed a win to be elite.

We are not.

It’s not a bad loss but it’s a “bad” loss. No way we should have let this joke of a team score 95.

 

[OneWayStreet]

Neutral observer here just watching the end of regulation and overtime - these refs need to be investigated. Awful.
