This loss hurts

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Even though I didn’t expect us to be this good when the season started.

Even though I know we can beat Alabama on any given night.

This loss stings. I’ve been stewing on it all day and can’t let it go.

I know the feeling because we needed to at least split the 2 meetings. Tennesse as well.

We should have won and injuries are hurting us. Carr hasn't been Carr the last 4 games due to his back. I hope it's not bad because he's passing up wide open shots.

Nah in your heart of hearts you really have to know we have surpassed our expectations so far.

It was a winnable game that’s what sucks, but this wasn’t a “bad loss”.

I’m not disappointed with the season. I just love this team and that loss hurts because we had them.

As soon as bama lost at home to ole miss earlier this week I felt worse about this game. I'm not upset about it. It's a meaningless regular season game.

I'm not bothered too much by this loss, and IMO we shouldn't drop much (if at all) in the rankings. We cut down on those fouls and we win this one fairly easily.

Let's just pay them back down in Tuscaloosa.

Let's just pay them back down in Tuscaloosa.

We may not win down there, but isn’t it great being a UK fan and knowing our head coach, staff, and players will formulate a solid gameplan for the rematch?

If we lose, it’ll be because Bama just beat us… not because we weren’t prepared.

We are UK fans, obsessed with our basketball team like no other group of fans. So every loss hurts!
I think we will win another one thst will surprise people, whether thst is @ Bsms or UT, or Auburn at home

This one doesn't hurt as much as Ohio St and Georgia.

I agree, but it appears Georgia is proving to be a pretty good team ... maybe better than Clemson (not sure about that, though).

Gotta shoot free throws better. Period.,

 

[bnewt]

Hate any loss at home

 

[FtWorthCat]

We shall meet again, Alabama.

Gotta shoot free throws better. Period.,

Bama was 26-34 and we shot 16-20; we need to get to the free throw line more- they drove to the basket, and we couldn't stay in front of them- think we just got beat by a more athletic team

 

[North Carolina Blue Wildcat]

Glass half full guy here. We played poorly and put up 97 points.. Ww have things to clean up and coach who can see it and correct course. Haven’t been this excited for a UK team in a long time.

Game was lost on the boards.

Pope took the loss hard, too …

Lexington, KY – The final buzzer in Rupp Arena on Saturday night marked more than just the end of Kentucky’s 102-97 loss to Alabama. It signaled the first home

We shot 80%. That’s good.

 

[ukcatz12]

We were tied with 5 minutes left against one of the best teams in the country. Sometimes games just don't go your way, can't win all of them. But this team is right there with just about anyone else this year when they're at their best.
