Surprised to see us QUIT this game….

This performance may cost UK a seed line. Can’t get blown out like this and not have it impact their seed

I don’t think we quit, we just ran into a great team playing as well as they could. Plus some atrocious calls by the refs. And then they got red hot from 3 the 2nd half.

Injuries will play a factor. You can’t base tonight’s performance, given what this team has earned all season. Besides Bama will get romped by Florida.

Kentucky has some good shooters but not great athletes. When the shots aren't falling you get what you're seeing tonight. Also, Kentucky's defense isn't very good either. Pope has got to improve that next year. Another thing it seems like Kentucky doesn't put that much effort into offensive rebounding, players head to the other end when a shot goes up rather than crashing the offensive boards. Rebounding and defense have got to be a focus in the off-season.
 
This does not bode well for our NCAA hopes. I think we hit a wall tonight and it’s highlighting that we are two tiers below teams like Auburn/Alabama/Florida without Butler and Robinson. It’s an absolute shame this team was hardly ever healthy.

Hopefully this will be a night to remember so that hopefully Kentucky never takes a beating line this again.

I don’t think we quit. We ran out of gas.
Don’t think it can be forgotten that last nights game didn’t end until after 1 and was a monstrous emotional event. Couple that with two of our steadying forces exiting early(bad foul call on Carr and Oweh getting assaulted) in the first and we were in trouble.

Alabama played bad in the first half imo. That was our chance to show we could hang and we just couldn’t. We were essentially without 4 of our best 5 players during that stretch(Jax, Butler, Oweh, Carr).

You will hit a wall playing 2 games in the same day, short-handed, against a totally fresh national title contender who happens to be peaking.
 
Losing by 15 or so was well within the realm of expectation after the first. Pushing that margin to almost 30 sure is disappointing. I would’ve consider losing by 10 or less a win.
Exactly what I expected at half. I was like play lights out and maybe have a shot, play about the same and lose by 15 so be it. I mean we are out like 35 points of scoring and have no PG. I just hated seeing us lose like that.
 
I was proud of the effort in the first half and disappointed in the effort in the second half.

I never thought this game was winnable in the first place but wanted to keep it respectable. Didn’t happen.

It was the perfect storm of being short handed, a total athletic mismatch, a top 5 team raining 3s in the second half. I knew when it got to 15 we were gonna get our asses kicked.
