Two more lose tonight. 40% of the current top 10 have a road conference loss by at least 15 points. Crazy year and it's really anyone's for the taking.

It is indeed a completely different world for college basketball.
Interesting bad take. Keep trying.But, with other teams "it just happens".
At Kentucky, it's 100% the coach's fault and he needs to be replaced.
There have also been over 45 teams ranked this year I think I heard them say on our game. It’s a crazy parity year. Which makes me mad because we can win it all if we get any consistency in our defense and Cal doesn’t go retarded on offense again. Who knows.
It doesn't excuse us, but because other top teams are racking up losses too, it doesn't hurt us as bad IF we can bounce back and start to string some wins together.Who cares what others do, we looked like chumps against USCjr. Other teams losing doesn’t excuse that massacre.
Maybe it’s time to ditch the “top 25” ranking. Seems meaninglessIt doesn't excuse us, but because other top teams are racking up losses too, it doesn't hurt us as bad IF we can bounce back and start to string some wins together.
It makes the idiots acting like UK should always be immune to a bad loss in sports look like, well, idiots.Who cares what others do, we looked like chumps against USCjr. Other teams losing doesn’t excuse that massacre.
I don’t think we’re going to agree here. UK isn’t immune to a bad loss but we should be immune to frequent bad losses.. which Cal doesn’t seem to beIt makes the idiots acting like UK should always be immune to a bad loss in sports look like, well, idiots.
Cal’s refusal to adjust is what kills us. It’s like throwing the same speed fastball every single pitch to Major League batters. These D1 teams will figure out how to beat your defense, especially if they know you’ll only play one type of defense and never adjust. It’s absolute insanity.But, with other teams "it just happens".

Coping mechanism. 😉 Fact is, our coach just isn’t very good. It’s okay to admit it. I cannot wait to have a coach that’ll actually adjust and play guys that are most deserving of minutes and that give UK the best chance to win. Cal can fvck off.This is just another spin to try feeding us Cal’s mediocrity.
Cal said we are the Gold Standard so we shouldn’t be getting destroyed on the road or losing at home to UNCW.
should also be immune to total domination by a lesser talented team.I don’t think we’re going to agree here. UK isn’t immune to a bad loss but we should be immune to frequent bad losses.. which Cal doesn’t seem to be
Kentucky is the standard of the sport. I'm not one calling for Cal to leave/stay, but we shouldn't just be okay with it because it happens to other schools.But, with other teams "it just happens".

This shit has been going on for like 5/6 years now, if not more. Again, coping mechanism.Kentucky is the standard of the sport. I'm not one calling for Cal to leave/stay, but we shouldn't just be okay with it because it happens to other schools.
But, but but....dont we eat first according to Cal?Transfer portal, man. Much more parity now.
It's just as much NIL.Transfer portal, man. Much more parity now.
I guess that’s why in last years tournament UCONN beat every team they faced by double digits.There are no "great" teams in college basketball anymore. It is the way it is now. Last year's tournament was a true sign of this trend. The tournament is anyone's for the taking. Completely different than college football, where there are clearly defined haves and have nots. And you know come postseason the have's will impose their will. More predictable, but great if you are a fan one of those have teams. In basketball, I just don't think things like seeding mean anything anymore. So much parity.
To be fair, where other teams have deficiencies in recruiting or moolah, we have a coach who is underwhelming as a floor coach.But, with other teams "it just happens".

UCONN was a 4 seed. Where were the #1 and #2 seeds? Or even a #3 seed? No where to be seen on the final weekend.This has to be due to the transfer portal becoming bigger and bigger. 2nd guess is sports gambling expanding across the nation.
Isn't this the last year we see almost any Covid year stuff? Wonder how much college teams just getting older on average is affecting this trend?
“Is we Kentucky or is we not?” Would Bama losing on the road in football by 3 touchdowns be ok, ever?But, with other teams "it just happens".

We all understand that bad losses can happen. Most fans, while we get pissed at first, are capable of getting over the occasional bad loss. The problem is that Cal has developed a pattern of consistent bad losses, and doesn't really get that many good wins.It makes the idiots acting like UK should always be immune to a bad loss in sports look like, well, idiots.
