Why we won, why we almost lost

There is an agenda there, they didn't like the Pope hire and will piss and moan wherever they can.
Kentucky's rebounding issues are a major concern, and the thing that will get them bounced. You simply cannot let the opponent get 2-3 shots on so many possessions when you have to work so hard to get 1.
Lost track of the number of buckets Florida got from extended possessions, but I do know I counted FIVE of their 3-pters made off of an offensive rebound at one point. That's crazy - and in hindsight, hard to believe UK actually won the game given this stat + free throw discrepancy + refs being awful + super slow start to both halves yet again.
The shots they missed didn't count against the % because they got to shoot fts.
Almost only counts in hand grenades and horse shoes. we will be complaining about the rebounding until the season ends. some of our players are a step slow and that's a deficiency we have but man our offensive potential is off the charts and with those cuts I saw yesterday this team is starting to buy in and it's fun to watch . Opposing teams are going to have to put up 80+ points to beat us . GO CATS
Rebounding, rebounding, rebounding.
Florida started the 1st half with like a 7-1 rebounding advantage. They were up big. We won the rebound battle the rest of the 1st half after that slow start. We went on an impressive run and took a 10 point lead.
Then we let Florida win the rebounding battle 7-1 or 8-1 to start the 2nd half. They closed the gap and again looked like the better team. We started rebounding better. We stretched the lead back out.
Florida is very athletic. Florida is one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the country. We also got lazy on some of those. We ball watch. We don't always box out. Our guys don't have the same sense of urgency on the glass as the other team.
I think if we fix the rebounding issues, the sky is the limit. If we don't, we'll be sent home a lot earlier than we should.

I agree with some of your statement but our identity is the ability to shoot the ball and those vicious cuts yesterday we witnessed will free our perimeter up . Rebounding does need to get better but from what I witness so far we just seem to be a step slow . The identity of this is the offense
Sure.
But you can't give up easy offensive rebounds time and time again and keep winning. If we take away 3 or 4 of those offensive rebounds, this game is a blow out. Regardless of your identity, you have to rebound it well to win games.
We went on big runs when we were outrebounding them for stretches. They went on big runs when they were outrebounding us for stretches.
Gotta clean up the boards. Should've won by 20. Cant depend on insane offensive output every game.
Honestly, I don’t think it matters who is the coach. These folks seem just miserable watching the games. I want to ask them if they even enjoy it.
Understood but this isn’t the only game since 1997 where we didn’t have a good whistle. Those teams still didn’t let their opponent shoot 81% from 2.
almost lost? so every game you dont win by double digits would be an almost lost. The phrasing of that sounds like you're having a negative slant on a great win.
Our defense effort got us back in the game and allowed us to pull away. We were not playing D the first 10 minutes of the game. Look at the turnovers and the points off of turnovers.
