We just gave the committee another reason

[Digger-Cat]

To drop us a seed line.

We had this game won, then we made mistake after mistake after mistake and handed a bad team the game.
Purdue lost to Ohio State at home, but they're a 2 seed, we were a 3.
They judge you by your losses when they want to knock you down and we just gave them another reason to knock us down.
Why was Purdue a 2 and UK a 3? We have 4 wins better than any win they have, but we were behind them.
They will use this loss as a reason to drop us.

 

[TriCountyCat]

I look for us to fall to 18-20 in the AP, any excuse voters have to drop us.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

I honestly thought a 3 seed was too high for us. Just my thoughts.

Me too. We won't sniff a 3 seed again.

 

[Blue wood]

Me too. We won't sniff a 3 seed again.

What a loser attitude

 

[ala_kat2]

Does it really matter? We’re going nowhere in any tournament unless we get a healthy Butler and Robinson back. Even then, we’ve got to get better with the fundamentals and eliminate turnovers Too many role players having to play as starters.

 

[ala_kat2]

What a loser attitude

Nah, just realistic.

We are an easy 2 seed when healthy.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Nah man it’s just the reality of it. Gotta win. Do you really see a 3 seed for this team?

 

[Digger-Cat]

I honestly thought a 3 seed was too high for us. Just my thoughts.

Why? Look at our wins.
When healthy, we can beat anyone.
But we shit the bed tonight, just like we did against Ohio State, @ Vandy, @ Ole Miss and against Arkansas.
I put our wins up against anybody, but we have some really stupid losses.

 

[TTTblue24]

It’s sad when we are just doing this to ourselves, people acted all wk like it’s ok to lose this game laying out the injury excuse all wk. BS with that, we had this game won and gave it away. There’s no sense of urgency with them at all, especially on the road.

 

[ukcatz12]

If this team was healthy all year, or at least half as hurt, I really do think we'd be in the conversation for a 1 seed.

Okay, so tell me, why was Purdue a 2 and UK a 3?

Yea I see where you’re coming from, Digger. And I can’t really say why I feel that way. Maybe it’s the injuries. I donno.

Once we lost to OSU by 20, that went out the window. Pope really screwed up by not having his team prepared there.
Look at the massive wins since that loss and they still stick us on the 3 line.

 

[Noxium322]

This team deserves whatever seed they're given. I won't defend this bullshit.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Yea I see where you’re coming from, Digger. And I can’t really say why I feel that way. Maybe it’s the injuries. I donno.

I think you're where I am, this one really stung. I know we're injured, but we were still the better team and we gave it away.

 

[crawfords corner]

This actually sounds like a good committee. One that understands UK with Butler and UK without. I don't see why that would change.

Again, I look at Purdue at 2 and UK at 3. Make that make sense.

 

[sefus12]

Yea, this team isn’t a top-12 team. We can beat anyone, but if we aren’t hitting 3s our floor is a lot lower than the true top teams.

He consistently doesn't have the team prepared. I think the guys get up for the big games, so it just negates anything he's not doing. It rears its ugly head when they need a lift.

 

[hotelblue]

well end up a 4-5 depending on the sect, and health. beat vandy, oklahoma and lsu and that’s 20-11 (9-9).

They also figure in losses with injuries

This! It was there. Solid fundamental basketball wins this game. Pope didn't put the right people in the right position to close it out!
Perry shooting a pull up in the paint,is that on perry or his coach?

 

[Digger-Cat]

Okay, so why is Purdue a 2 and UK a 3. Make it make sense to me, PLEASE

I honestly think it'll be harder to win Wednesday night against Vandy, then it was tonight! Vandy will put a ton of pressure on our guards! I expect some full court press ect.
I know if I was a coach I would pressure them til they prove they can beat it!

i agree. we need to find a way.

 

[crawfords corner]

Again, I look at Purdue at 2 and UK at 3. Make that make sense.

They're 14-7 against quad 1 and 2. UK is 8-8

That would be my guess.

 

[The_Ghost_of_Born_and_Bread]

We are an easy 2 seed when healthy.

More likely a 6 than a. 2

Exactly right, these idiots that are.patting Texas on the back and acting like they earned this win, will see that the mistakes we made tonight, will be even more costly against Vandy.

I hope they understand a loss at home to Vandy is very possible.

You can't make mistakes like this and beat SEC teams.

Oh cool, I guess we're Vandy now.

Thanks

Yep there’s a ceiling due to the number of losses but there’s also a floor given our 4 wins over the committee’s top 6 seeds.

 

[catlogic15]

After events of last spring, I think playing the second weekend this year would be a victory.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

More likely a 6 than a. 2

Keep wishing bread. We all know what you're about.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'll take any seed, provided that we're healthy when Selection Sunday rolls around.

It's going to be a brutal few weeks, but we knew it was coming the moment JR and LB both went down.

I don’t think we tried to lose

 

[gharding07]

What a loser attitude

It's called truth. We're not winning a lot of games to finish the year if we are still injured.

 

[catfan220]

IF (big if) we’re healthy come tournament time, we’ll be underseeded due to all these shorthanded losses. With that said we took some bad losses with a full roster, so I’ll be prepared for any outcome in the tournament.

 

[Digger-Cat]

I don’t think we tried to lose

Watch that las 3 minutes again.

Thanks
