What a Satisfying Win!

[Aike]

This offense is a thing of beauty, and what an outstanding finish.

This has been such a fun season but I can’t wait to see what the future holds as guys like Noah and Perry get more and more comfortable in this system.

So many games come down to who closes out the last two minutes. We’ve owned a lot of those segments this season.

Still can’t believe that we lost to R-Kansas

Yeah like it or not, margins between teams are razor thin, and the refs tend to try to keep things close. Nice to see a team confidently execute down the stretch.

I’m looking ahead and staying positive.

Totally. Good coach that keeps them focused and veterans that execute (most of the time).

Team showed a lot of grit after Butler went down. Impressive display.

 

[UKSanders]

If this team is finally starting to find an defensive identity to pair with the offensive production, the potential of this team is certainly shooting up.

There has certainly been more aggression & hustle (especially help defense) these last couple of games, and I like it!

This was a had to have it win I would been depressed for the rest of the week had we not won this game.

I can. You could see that one coming a mile away. We were vulnerable and arkansas probably isn’t quite as bad as their conference record. Plus they had all the motivation in the world. Also the way we were defending was just begging for it.

But guess what? We lost to them and our players kept right on playing and trying to get better. It wasn’t a season killer as some were worried it would be. It’s really just a single loss. And it wasn’t even a terrible won. It’s a game we should have won, but a quad 2 isn’t a bad loss in terms of tournament seeding. That’s all it is. And when sandwiched between multiple top 10 wins and it’s barely memorable.

Beat Duke? Check
Beat UL? Check
Sweep the Vols? Check

And I can't wait to see some top recruits sprinkled in as well, along with that I imagine will be a long list of portal players lining up to play here.

I mean, who wouldn't want to play for Pope and UK right now?

This wasnt just a home run hire, it was a grand slam. And I think this might be sending Shockwave across the league as we speak.

Speaking of…anyone know if Ament was at the game?

He was. He was just sitting a little higher and not in the normal section.

One of the things that has really impressed me is the Cats' play on defense. These past two games have been remarkable with their defensive play. I would also add the play of the Freshmen, especially Trent Noah.

Coach Pope moves faster laterally than Joe Lindsey .....

 

[Blue_2_the_bone]

Just rewatched it. Still in disbelief we won this game with our injuries and how it was officiated. The refs were absolutely terrible.

They are getting better and better. Both can shoot too! I love seeing them being comfortable in big moments now.

Injures. If we had Butler that would have been a win too.

Pope said on the post game, “I can say I had a recruit here right?”

Yeah I would imagine transfers will be lining up to play here.

Just sucks because it was Cal, that’s all. That was their season and now they will go back to being a bad team.

I think w3 needed this one. I wanted it bad.

Also on the plus side my mom through all her treatments just got her final test back as in remission. Was a great day and a great night.
