Brea, Williams, Krisa, Carr, butler, Robinson, Almanor. Thank you all for coming and making Kentucky fun again. Will always be a team I really like. Butler thank you for playing your ass off all the time even with a bum shoulder.
Thank you to the seniors

Butler fought all season and I'll miss him. Honestly the others I am fine with leaving.
Although the ending is not perfect, still grateful for the contributions from these seniors for making turnaround of our program
They deserve be remembered
They deserve be remembered
I will have fond memories of all of them. Wish Jaxson could have finished the season though.
Come back and be the Y some day, guys!
Come back and be the Y some day, guys!
I admire Butler for his desire while playing hurt and the only one who shouldn't feel ashamed for his effort tonight.
I don't want to get too negative here and start an argument, but I'll miss them all. They all had an extremely tough job of injecting energy into the program again while dealing with high expectations in an environment they had not idea about. Many of them from mid majors who were basically goldfish that got thrown into an ocean.
Jaxson and Carr toughed it out while injured until they couldn't anymore. Amari improved tremendously throughout the year. Almenor was never going to be anything more then a bench piece and won us a game or two with some very timely shooting. Brea went from the sixth man at a mid major to probably single handedly beating Tennessee the second time after Butler went out. Kriisa brough energy every day from the bench.
I definitely wish we could run it back with this group if they all had another year.
Damn even Jaxson? He was playing pretty good ball before he broke his wrist or whatever the injury is
Yup I will always love this team they brought the fun back again. Thank you guys! Good season.
Heart and soul. This teams chuck hayes
I just don't agree with this at all. Saying this team didn't play hard tonight is just an easy cop out because you can't pinpoint exactly why we got run off the court. UT's defensive game plan was perfect and we couldn't even get open shots. They're one of the best rebounding teams in the country, so us getting out-rebounded wasn't a lack of effort.
They're the better team. They were the better team all year long and we overachieved in beating them both times. The second time it took a few crazy bailout 3s from Brea.
They all blamed for the name on the jersey. Not one had both feet out the door ready for the NBA like Cals players
Exactly. I hate that real fans have to sift through the garbage posted about our players.
I expect UK to be a program that always has a good core group of returning guys. I hope we hear soon that Oweh, Garrison and all 3 Freshmen are returning.
Lol, this board literally just spent a decade saying the exact opposite. Maybe when we lose there just isn't some easy and simple reason why and basketball's a complicated game?
Tennessee getting everything they want at the rim. Williams and others just standing around watching it happen. Yes, I'll applaud that effort all day long here. Zinging the ball all over the place carelessly. Effort goes a long way in defense and rebounding. What a crock of shit.
I was unaware UT was a team of talented freshmen. You know basically everyone they play is a senior or super senior too, right?
Brea would break his defender down off the dribble and get to the rim or get open mid range shots constantly throughout the last third of the year.
Made a nearly impossible situation this season one of the most enjoyable in a LONG time!!!
Beat Duke, Gonzaga, UofL and UT(twice)!!!
Showed the rest of college basketball what it means to play for UK!!!
This group will help Coach Pope recruit other transfers AND HS players!!!
Butler will be one of my favorite all time Kentucky players, I wish we got a second year of him for sure
Yeah I can promise you he wasn’t. He is one of loudest cal haters on here for years
isn't he the negative one on the threads. maybe im confusing someone with the over negative thoughts. Not appreciating seniors from mid major schools getting us to the sweet 16 on a different team, is suspect though.
Good post. This team should be celebrated!! Butler will go down as a favorite of mine!
This group has made me enjoy Kentucky Basketball again. Memorable bunch of guys for me. They loved it here, played hurt, & fought, and I love them for it.
Tennessee played their A game tonight. We did not. Tennessee had a lot to do with that. I loved this team and their fight through all the injuries. Pope has me excited again for Kentucky basketball. The best is yet to come. Go Cats
