This Team Sucks

[Tampa_cat54]

No better than last year's team.

Can't defend, can't make FTs, just not a good basketball team.

2 losses in Rupp is inexcusable. Up 4 with 20 seconds to go and lose the game.

Just not a good team, season pretty much over.

 

[ThroughBlue]

Even if we do turn into the team that the sunshine pumpers think we are we will be such a low seed it won’t matter

 

[mcwildcats04]

Mitchell was absolutely horrible tonight. Missed pretty much every single shot. He's been huge all year but he was horrible this game.

 

[Rockfly78]

I’m pissed. But the season is not over.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

Shitty coach....

 

[Tampa_cat54]

I’m pissed. But the season is not over.

It's pretty obvious that we have zero ability to do the things we thought this team could do (Final Four, Title, etc.)

Can't even beat a shitty Florida team on our home floor.

Yep, he makes 2 shots and we win it no problem, guy was 0 Kelvin cold.

 

[kydmb99]

Soft ass team. Teams like this get bounced early

Our inability to play defense is insane. But I’ve watched ball long enough to know that all you need to do is get in the tournament to have a chance. So it’s not “over” but it will take a hell of a lucky draw

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

If one possession went the other way your tears are about something else

 

[bucsrule8872]

We weren’t winning a title.

Anyone who ever thought that this season was fooling themselves.

This team is not built to win a title.

This is a Sweet Sixteen ceiling team. Most likely losing in the first weekend again.

It is what it is.

It’s really hard to care anymore.

I remember the end of the Tubby years, this is eerily similar.

 

[J-Ryan]

This one has me furious!

 

[Tampa_cat54]

If one possession went the other way your tears are about something else

Yeah...but it didn't. That's how sports work.

 

[shockme76]

Yeah, the team we thought we had is gone. This is the worst defensive team I think we've ever had. Cal was always known for good defensive teams but this is on another level of suck I didn't think I would see at UK. Cal just needs to retire so we can move on and start fresh.

Kentucky basketball: the best "coulda, woulda, shoulda" team in the nation.

UConn won as a 4 seed last year! They got blown out in the Big East and finished what like 4th, 5th in their conference. All year they had guys miss time.

 

[Bigkyfan10]

Yeah I'm done watching this year's team until the SEC Tourney. I watch sports to be entertained and this is not entertaining. They have zero chance to win the SEC Regular Season or NCAA Championship so I might as well only watch the SEC Tourney and hope for the best. See you all in March.

 

[WeWant9]

I was really hoping this team would compete for an SEC regular season title. I am not sure I see it happening now. Just pray this team can catch fire in March.

I see what you did there.

 

[Wonky]

I wouldn’t say huge. He’s been good. The Mitchell hype is kind of funny to me. He looks great when he’s hitting shots. But he loafs a LOT and never met a front end of a 1 and 1 he couldn’t miss. He also takes seriously dumb shots at inopportune times. That 3 he missed late in regulation with 20 seconds left on the shot clock was one such example and a big reason we lost the game.

 

[RMorris33]

The great thing about this year is that you can be a bone headed team like this one and still have a chance. I'd be shocked if they do anything significant in March but crazier runs have happened

You are correct. People who understand the game can clearly see it. Those who can’t still think Cal is great and they will go on a run to win it all. They will be greatly disappointed.

If I win the lottery, I don't have to work either

Ifs and butts candy and nuts

 

[deep3]

Will end up similar to last year imo sadly dude is truly just horrific bench coach

 

[bucsrule8872]

Charmin.

That’s all I got to say!

 

[katkraze]

UK can still get a 4 seed

On past good Kentucky teams. Someone like Mitchell is a 6-8 minutes a game guy off the bench.
That's how far the Kentucky Wildcats have fallen.

 

[UK93CarolinaCat]

My favorite time of year is when The Masters starts in April, I know college basketball is over and so is my frustration with Kentucky Basketball.

 

[Kybluedude]

DJ out 2 games and we lose both. Need him in there.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

We get just ONE of these dozen fouls to go our way, and we walk away with a win, and we forget about some of the mistakes we make.

We have an emerging center. We had 3 guys out by the end of the game (Dilly is the 4th with his cramps). Florida as the 36th best team in the nation, Reed proved he can run the point and we got utterly hosed.

Not too worried. We probably aren't getting a 3seed or better.. But we also won't have SEC refs in the tournament.

 

[gharding07]

Even IF we beat Tennessee we still aren't very good imo.

 

[ThunderMash]

This is the same old Kentucky team masked behind a high scoring offense (even that fell off) and wins stacked up from Poop States. They have ONE nice win (UNC). Tell me how that's any better than what we've seen over the last few years?

 

[Chevyfn2]

Just seems like this team doesn’t have that killer instinct to put teams away.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Yep, he makes 2 shots and we win it no problem, guy was 0 Kelvin cold.

Posers. So Mitchell couldn’t hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle. Did Fat Cal adjust? Play Z? Thiero at the 4? Get ANYONE else looks? Negative. Just keep on keeping on. Dude is just so freaking bad. So bad.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Agreed we do suck. Now the boosters need to work on doing whatever it takes to NIL shep back for a 2nd season and get thiero and ugonna or z back.

This season is over.

 

[dckala2]

Meanwhile Chris livingston averaging 1.3 and 1 in the league, can’t wait to see what Bradshaw is posting next year.

 

[OmahaCats]

It’s honestly good for fans to not care like they use to. I mean for their mental health. Losing doesn’t ruin my day anymore. I get upset then get over it real quick by reminding myself that Kentucky basketball has zero impact on my everyday life. Granted I do enjoy winning. But have to remember that it’s only college basketball. Nothing more

Just plays too nonchalant.

 

[TriCountyCat]

If we don’t take away the 3 we are done. I don’t care if we get dog walked with layups. The 3 point shot has beaten us in every game we’ve lost.
