That old feeling is back

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I’m wide awake & pissed & replaying everything in my head

I had gotten numb under Cal & used to losing & let downs after a lofty, undeserved pre-Season rank.

It feels good to be back. 😎

Getting a little ahead of yourself assuming it’s not going to keep happening.

We'll be fine, OP. Clemson was an Elite 8 team last year, we shot like crap, they played their best game of the season, we played our worst game of the season, we were 11/18 from the foul line, we were 7/27 from three, our PG leader was in foul trouble basically the whole game, everything went right for Clemson (even a desperation banked three..I knew UK was destined to lose this game after that BS), it was a very tough road crowd/environment that was jacked the whole game, etc etc...and yet, UK was in the game until the clock hit zeroes. We'll be fine, I promise. We will have more losses but also a lot more wins this year. We got a chance to makeup for this loss this weekend against a top 10 team. Again, we'll be fine.

IMO we much up more poorly against Gonzaga than anyone we have played. Must shoot well to win that game

O give me a break. This isn't like we lost to the what d2 school Calipari loose too? In the nit lol. And or lol. Or k state 5 times lol. Like arkansas is built for march, yet we ain't lol. Need to get some sleep op. Everything will be fine. If you had this team winning the natty, you would need more luck than this team would need. They sweet 16 bro. At best. They will have to work very hard to get there and or further. Realistic speaking.

Hmmm I think a couple of you misunderstood my post lol.

It’s good to not be numb.

Lost to a bunch of dudes that looked like they came from the local YMCA.

 

[Creed Bratton]

I agree with you. I had gotten to the place I didn't even want to watch the games and I hated feeling that way. At least I care that we lost again.

 

[MachineHead1]

Team will be fine. Just have to make overall adjustments to deal with physicality intended to slow them down.

OP, I stopped watching UK basketball back when Wiscy got bailed out by refs in the 2015 FF. I kept up with UK some after that, but not at all after the 2020 debacle. I had forgotten that it was possible to feel disappointed instead of just not giving a damn.

I'm there with ya.

We were never going to go undefeated.

We'll go into conference play with a maximum of 2 losses.

If we get past Gonzaga, we'll go into conference play with one loss.

I'm feeling good about our team!!

 

[kats23]

Last year I probably wouldn't have even stayed up. Forget getting upset over it. So yes, it is fun to care again

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Went right to sleep after. Losses in any sport do not control my life post game anymore. Think it comes with getting older.

 

[FutureCity]

I'm not upset. It was at South Carolina and the refs were allowing SC to mug Kentucky all night while putting 4 fouls on Butler.
I would have liked to have seen us more muscled up in order to fight through the physical play. But even if we were, the refs would have fouled everybody out. It was an away game with homer refs. It happens.

I was right there too still pissed today over the loss and what could've been done differently. The 3 hours of sleep that I actually got doesn't help but I'll probably stay pissed until 10 p.m. Saturday night lol. I love having the passion back for UK basketball I'm glad the Grinch that stole it is in Fayetteville now!
