UK vs Ohio St Game Thread

[fadkins82476]

Most of us were expecting 4 losses at this juncture so we're all alright

 

[Digger-Cat]

ok so did anyone really think we were the num 4 team in nation??

We are more like a 12-14 ranked team

(And that isn’t bad)

So I need to adjust my expectations.

I knew we weren't, but I was enjoying it.

We are a fraud, hate to say it, but we are. We are a mid major that won a couple big games.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

What better way to sum up tonight, than with Robinson being weak like always and getting out worked for the ball

 

[TheWyldKat]

Aint no coming back. I tried to hold out hope.

This is how I expect a Calipari team to lose.

11-31 from 2
4-20 from 3

Lackadaisacal/start to a 1st half to an unranked outmatched team.

Yup OSU is wanted it more.

Auburn Tennessee and Florida kings of the SEC.

Unfortunately UK is a step below.

Maybe next year……

It will be looked at as a bad loss. They were also missing a starter. And they destroyed UK.

It won't. A QUAD 1 loss. And UK played terrible.

Lol it will not

Robinson out hustled for a rebound

Did we overachieved v. Duke and Gonzaga or did we peak early?

 

[Richard Cory]

Another missed layup

one of those nights it seemed like every bounce went against us

 

[the nail at the foul line]

This is a really poor performance.

 

[crawfords corner]

Thats embarrassing Robinson

Sign of a quitter and a wuss

 

[flacat22]

Wish that were the case.

Do you?

 

[Skyguyb27]

When did Pope install the tackle defense at half court?

 

[true blue1]

Embarrassing performance tonight! No effort at all!

 

[bnewt]

Waited all week for this crap

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

It won't. A QUAD 1 loss. And UK played terrible.

I look at it as a terrible loss. We are not that good.

 

[ukjenning44]

At this point I’m just hoping we win a tournament game. That will be an accomplishment

 

[darkshadesofblue]

garbage

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Here's hoping ware under perfoms, and is known as under ware.

 

[crawfords corner]

I was literally just saying the exact same thing.
The level of effort displayed by Ohio State is impressive.
They deserve to win this game.

This isn’t the 1st time the lack of intensity and effort wasn’t there.

I laughed because that is exactly what you said when you responded to me 🤣

 

[YardCat]

5”10 guards kill us, we can’t guard out on the perimeter, every time we get beat off the dribble

 

[UKWildcats1987]

They sleep walked into the Duke game.
They sleep walked into the Clemson game.
They sleep walked into the Gonzaga game.
They sleep walked into the Louisville game.
They sleep walked into this game.

If they do this in the NCAA tournament, they'll be gone in the first weekend with Pope chirping in the post game about what a blessing it is to work with such a great collection of young men.

Pope better not lose n the first round.

 

[truckbrandon]

What a pathetic effort tonight. I feel sorry for all the UK fans who made the trip to NYC for this SHIT SHOW

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Jeez Louise now it’s a blow out🫣🫣🫣

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Stop dribbling and ahoot

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I am a little worried to see how Pope doesn't have these guys fired up. I've been a huge fan of his so far, but he might be leaning a little too much into being a players-coach. He's gonna have to get up in some asses tomorrow.

Agreed.

And these guys are older, too. They should be able to handle a Pitino-esque ass chewing without breaking their egos or the obvious "Kumbaya" mantra of this team.

 

[UKortho]

They hitting up a Broadway show tonight?

 

[anonymous_2011]

Different coach. Same old sheet. 😖

Mark Pope can be happy to be here till the cows come home but we deserve better.

 

[permdaddy]

Terrible loss today. Ohio St. is 50 on Torvik and 64 on WAB (wins above bubble) 2 metrics the NCAA now uses. They are 32 in the NET, better but still a game you shouldn't lose.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Well this is really a bad performance I thought they would’ve learnt from Clemson but NOPE!

 

[megablue]

My problem isn’t losing this game. My problem is we struggle against every power conference team. And my worry is the road ahead. The SEC is death row.

This is what I see …

 

[Mash 2.4]

They’re shooting over their heads because Thornton and Mobley can get any shot they want whenever they want. They aren’t bombing away from 3.

They’ve made some really tough 2’s. That’s not gonna happen every night.

 

[fatguy87]

This is easily one of the worst games we've played in 5 years.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

And I told every OSU fan I saw that the SEC was kicking their azz in Football and Basketball today. I will be eating lots of Crow at work

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

20 point loss to this team is very concerning. Imagine if pope got fears and gave this team a actual creator instead of trying to spare peoples feelings

 

[rick64]

[Fancatstik]

How did we beat the Zags and Duke

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Being a UK fan is just a mistake at this point. This shit isn’t gonna change. Not for another 15 years if we are lucky. The golden years are gone.

again! Stop being a sunshine pumper and realize when your team is shit when it is.

Pope is in year 1, he beat top ranked Duke and Gonzaga. We shouldn’t have expected him to come out the gate with a title team. I’m not happy that we lost to Clemson and OSU either.
