Lol @ Texas yall stuggle to win against a hurt team. We had 2 Ky starters out this game. Can't wait to replay you all again.
 
Yeah you sound like you’ve been smoking some copium

We got beat fair and square. Don’t let 2 guys score 60, don’t turn it over more than you assist, and don’t have Koby Brea playing 34 min to go 0/6 and you win that game, injuries or not. We blew it plain and simple, credit to Texas for taking advantage
Agreed!

Still down 2 starters and backup point guard. The number 2. And 3 scores on the the team m and were playing on the road. 90%of the teams out there would lose that game. Saying different is just ridiculous. You guys need to chill out

We lost fair and square. We blew the W but we lost fair and square.


Pope has thus far exceeded what I optimistically foresaw in season 1, particularly when, ya know, when he landed in Lex. he didn't yet even HAVE a team. He had one player. One.

He did an excellent job assembling the best possible roster he could have, given the incredibly short amount of time he had to actually build the team.

We have two of our best out and other's banged up. Freshmen who were never truly expected to be needed for minutes and production have been thrust onto the court. By and large they've shown everyone that they belong on this KENTUCKY team. The fact they're Kentuckians makes it even sweeter for all involved.

But they're freshmen, they're not physically prepared to play major minutes in SEC play, yet here we are for better or worse, it's what we have to put on the court, so I'm cheering my old ass for them, that's for damn sure.

We all pretty much understood going into this season that there is a sh!ton of talent in the SEC, and all over the country. Parity has never been quite as equal as it is in this day and age; it seems every team has at least two really good players.


We'll get there, just give Coach Pope the time needed to do just that. He wants it every bit as much as we do, and I LOVE that in our coach.



Peace, WW..

we were without 30 pts and another 12 pts isnt himself with a back injury trying to play. Yeah we have a legitimate reason to have not even been in striking distance at the end of a road game against a top 35 NET and Kenpom team

I really enjoy seeing so many regulars around here, shooting back and forth the thoughts and ideas. Helps me to see the positive remarks and understanding being shown by a lot of people out here.

Pope's circumstances have been extraordinary this year, in everything he has taken upon himself. I commend him for how he has handled himself and being who he is. Love the man. Fans need to have some patience. Long term look here.

Enjoy the development of players and those that stand up and rise up to give us a season to point with pride to. In future years, are you going to think back on the losses or will you say we beat more top ten, 15 teams this year than just about any other ? I imagine what I will be saying. It wont be negative.

I know this team can rise to the challenge and keep us proud of them. Let's beat Vandy and dish out some cold revenge for them. Just like old times, they win at miserable gym, we win in Lexington. SEC is the toughest ever this year. Wow !

We are Kentucky ! Big Blue Nation !

Go Big Blue !
 
PS - Bracket matrix has Texas as an 11 seed in the NCAA tournament.

If they're trash, so be it, but they're on the bubble. So .... is everyone we're playing this year an NCAA tournament team ? It seems like it. At least they play like they are. Good ! Keeps us on our toes !
