I am with ya OP. Our record may indicate we are on track for worst season in modern era but this isn't the worst team. We have 6 losses that were essentially decided by a possession. I firmly believe if this team had the benefit of a normal season they'd be in a much better spot. They don't and this is Cal's system so no excuses...I just don't think they are the worst by any stretch.

These guys deserved a win, they have made strides and just haven't been able to close stuff out.

How many of our wins were decided 'essentially' by a possession?

No doubt the 8 fouls in a row called on Auburn to start the 2nd half gave the UKneelers just enough of a spread to offset the usual end of game choke.

This is the worst team in UK history, don’t get it twisted.

What team besides Sutton's last team has been worse than this one? You can spin and twist all you want. Your record says what you are. This team is 6-13.

As someone who had UK at -3 1/2, I feel violated. That was a bad beat all the way around. Thank the Lord we won the game, or I'd be shopping for a new tv this weekend.

Calm down Cawood... don't feel like arguing.

89-90 would be an example

Is 2015 the greatest UK team of all time? They went 38-1.

Didn't we have a thread yesterday where some were just happy that Shows and Teddy V wouldn't be the calling game?

A win is a win. Will always take them anyway you can get them and in a year like this, can't be too picky!

seriously? wow..... How do you ***** about the refs in this game? Auburn had much more to cry about.
This is a joke, right?! Even my Wife was going off about the refs in this game. She is by far the most rational person I know in regards to officiating. It was badly one sided.

We couldn’t believe they allowed that Auburn player to get away with literally hanging on the rim with one hand and tipping the ball with the other. It was one of the last couple possessions of the game for Auburn. Was obvious and wasn’t called. That call is made 100% of the time on Kentucky.

Not looking for one either. Pitino 1st team went 14-14 I believe. This team will have to do a lot of winning to break even.
As much as I have been frustrated with this season, UK going on a run after this debacle would be some kind of mojo for sure.
If they do, my goodness. It's their only path to the tourney. I just don't see it in this team. We shall see.

Always want to see them win.

I want to see them win their last 12-13 games. Senior night, SEC Tourney, NCAA Title.

Agreed. I don’t see it happening. But as I said in another thread, things have changed over the last few games. This week will tell a lot. If they can sweep Vandy and UT on the road, things become interesting. Which is more than we could have hoped for two weeks ago.

Good win cats, overcame a lot of obstacles and some bad luck to beat Auburn. How many bank shots did Flanigan hit today, I didn't know he was that good a shooter, still don't know.

I can say without a doubt the SEC has the absolute worst ref crews in America. To say their calls were bad is like saying Augusta National is a muny. The SEC office should be ashamed of themselves for putting these fools out on display.
That was scary bad and the 3 blind mice almost cost us back to back games at home. College BB officiating is so bad. Glad for these kids to breakthrough finally. They have kept at it and are working hard and fighting so glad for them to get a win. AUB is the perfect one to put the slide to a stop. Sorry fat Brucy! A lot of teams breaking bad records against our cats but not Brucy LOL. 19 years now at Rupp. The refs almost helped him to an underserving win but these cats wouldn't be denied today.
