UK vs Ohio St Game Thread

Pope built this team during the spring. We'll go into SEC play 11-2. I can live with that.
Still, a brutally, poorly executed game all around by the Cats. Pope and his staff need to break down every second of this game with each player. The days of going through the motions and beating non-blue blood teams every night by 20 is over in the era of NIL.

I think he told his team to win with class and not do anything stupid after the game.
Obviously did not see the same energy tonight we saw against Duke and Gonzaga. Very disappointing but that’s life, now how does the team handle it is the question. Really need to adjust to tempo, our guys seemed really disinterested with a physical slow it down type game..
A competitive loss isn't unacceptable. A blow out loss is. This was never competitive, we were playing from behind the whole game. That's unacceptable v OSU.
Auburn is way more physical and a lot more quick, fast guards are going to get around our guards and make our bigs help out, if someone doesn’t drop down to help we will get eaten up inside all year
Looks like I picked the right game to not be able to watch in it's entirety. I maybe only saw 10 minutes of game action. Oof! Hopefully that was our bad shooting game. We need a scorer or two when the 3's aren't falling. We don't have that guy(s). We aren't aggressive enough either and have a hard time stopping dribble penetration.
I’m not a miserable person. But I did get upset for watching my team lose. Not because they were outclassed but by effort. Effort isn’t an acceptable excuse to lose at UK.
If you told the fan base that we would have 2 losses going into SEC play you wouldn’t have guessed the two losses .
Edit: Maybe Clemson but definitely not Ohio State being one of the losses

If we hit our layups, we win by 10 and cover the spread. Ugly, ugly game but the sky is not falling.
I don’t know about that one. This isn’t just 1 game, it’s a pattern now. We are trying to beat teams in 20 minutes spotting them 15+ points.
Don't worry! Mark Pope will say UK changed his DNA and we will loose to some shit hole, and we will suffer some shit loss and it's all good because Pope knows how to loose.
Dont question it!! We will have a team full of 8 yr srs that can't play defense next year as well
Fortunately or unfortunately this game may force Pope to make adjustments. I wouldn’t be surprised if he went smaller with Carr at the 5 and initiating alot of the offense in the role Williams has now. Getting Brea more time and some more open looks is pretty huge if we’re gonna be a contender.
My town was taken over by Tenn fans this weekend..
Was gonna take my youngest to a game on 12/31.
Never spend a dime on this shit!
Top programs don't deal with this shit! We deserve better than a football whose season is over in August and a basketball team who is a national embarrassment.

Didnt say you was but I can name at least a dozen on here who are.. Loads wants to get away from the OAD players but this game and the last 4-5 shows you why we need a few scattered with the older players.. Williams has been a big let down so far on the year,, and Robinson.. This team will be good but no way is this a top 5-10 team.. More so around top 20..
I thought this team was top 5-10 after beating Duke and Zags. They played like it and fought back. But the 1st half effort issue is a pattern and some people not even trying, it really grinds my gears to no end. We need more athletes for sure but I’m done with the mercenaries that don’t get invested either, too.
Any loss is bad. How we lost this one is the worst part.
Where was the energy? Where were the sharp cuts and sharp passing?
They out played and out hustled us.
That should never happen.
We are far better than we played tonight.
I hope Pope has some answers.
We got embarrassed in NYC.

Part of the thing too is we came into this season thinking we bombing from 3, but we aren't really a good 3 point shooting team. We have a few players that hit threes at a high clip but too many guys that are not consistent at all.
But i totally agree with what you're saying. It does affect this bunch but I just can't understand how they were not up for this game.
