This was a truly awful loss in conference play on the road.
Anyone have a guess as to which team stunk it up this badly, this late in the season?

Yet came back only to lose in the SECT final game against UF because James Young slipped.Not what the OP is talking about, but the 2014 Kentucky Wildcats lost 84-65 on that same date - March 8 - at Florida.
That was when I knew for sure that team wasn't going to amount to anything in the post-season.
Yeah, I'm starting to think of this team more like the 2014 UK team. Very talented, but with a lot of bumps, bruises and losses during the season. UK frosh at USC looked like green freshmen. They'll improve.2014 UConn, eventual National Champion (should have been runner-up, as we all know all too well).
But that team was talented and didn't really put it together until late in the season, then went on an amazing run. I see this team having that type of ability as well. We will have a few more losses we'd rather not have, but let's stick with these guys and see if they can go on a late season run as well.

One advantage that team had was they were physically strong. Once they got tougher they used that size to grind people down and defend.Yeah, I'm starting to think of this team more like the 2014 UK team.

UL zoned UConn in that game. We got beat because they ball-screened Dakari over and over with Napier. We zoned a few possessions in the first half but never went back to it.2014 UConn, eventual National Champion (should have been runner-up, as we all know all too well).

Win or lose everything else in your life is still the same.
I think people forget how fluky that title game was.
UConn made the tourney that year because they won their conference tourney on a last second shot. Heck we made the SEC Final and dog limped into that NCAA tourney. We even had our first game start with a technical.l before the game even started. And one of the twins barely catches rim in the first free throw! Lots of luck for both of our squads to make the final that year.
That’s not the norm. The only way we turn this around is tor curb stomp Arky and then get a pair of good Q1 wins at UT or AU.
Season’s not over. But Sat is now a must win or I fear the wheels come off.
