That's true for all SEC teams. Road wins will be hard to come by.
I don't see how its mind boggling to say we struggle with physical teams. This is a finnesse team. WKU, Clemson, and now Ohio state have given us isuses. Some of our guys are just soft. Still, I'm not mad at all. 10-2 with a team of so-so talent. With wins over Duke and Gonzaga.

Whats sad is how many suddenly get juiced up to post a lot only when we lose….. so 💩
I'm literally just saying we struggle with physical play. It's a fact. Hopefully Pope can fix it. But the season so far is gravy. Who expected to beat Gonzaga and Duke? I know I didn't. I expected 22 wins. And I still do.
The OP isn't talking about tonight's game, which would be fine. It happened.
I don't see anyone giving up on the season but I can see why the OP has concerns. This Ohio St. team was beaten by 40 by Auburn and by 30 by Maryland. It's concerning. UK has struggled against physical teams so far and the SEC is full of physical teams. I think that's why the OP has the opinion he has.
This embarrassment had nothing to do with the fans. This team was exposed in a very raw and ugly way. This team has lost its fight and any desire to play as a team. Our bigs play like they are closer to 6'6" than nearly 7 foot like they are. We couldn't score on basic drives to the basket against a team without any real low-post presence. Either the team has stopped running the offense or the offense flat-out stinks. This team is a collection of leftover parts that don't work well enough together to avoid getting eaten alive in conference play.
You same guys were predicting 5-5 start to the season Here we are 10-2. and undefeated in Rupp. We don’t need Chicken Little fans who always bring nothing to the conversation but The Sky is Falling
What did you see from last night that makes you think there is an easy fix. The word on the street is that this team is soft and if you knock them around early, they will curl into a fetal position and give up. These players are missing what Pope can't give them, HEART.
