***Kentucky at Auburn Game Thread***

[tinfoil]

We lost and this one really hurt.

 

[Rainmaker]

The refs should have never had the opportunity. We should have beaten them by more than a few bad calls could affect.

Dope has lost this program.

I agree, that’s why I said it should’ve never been that close. It’s embarrassing at this point but it will get much worse most likely before it gets better.

 

[rem85]

This game was looking like a blowout before Auburn got back into the game. I don’t care about the refs, Mark Pope needs to get his team to perform.

 

[HenryMuto]

Mo with the huge block that goes wasted

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Another bad, bad, loss.

Still on the Pope train?

 

[SamePooter]

That was Popes moment to go crazy. Are you telling me Doug Gotleib has more balls than Pope?
Is ol dougy wanting a job?

 

[96Cats]

'til the battle is won

At least Kansas didn't close the win gap today.

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

Another game lost to officiating... They hate the Cats .

I would say coaching lost this game

 

[HenryMuto]

I still dont get why Garrison was in the game over Moreno there. Moreno can rebound at least.

 

[wccat]

Do you think that push off foul is called on Chandler if anybody else besides Pope is on that sideline?

With these refs, don't know but Pope is very poor about working the refs.

 

[Jp1542]

Two games in a row tha we have had a better shooting % and out-rebounded the opposition and come away with a loss.

 

[mash_24]

It's a call that hardly any ref calls at that point of a game, but it didn't fkn surprise anyone. But your right, he did extend his arm.

It was a **** call. The kid had his arm around Chandlers back. Is that not a foul too?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

u have to admit tho.........there's been some wild *** endings in these games this season lol.

I thought for a second Moreno was going to pull another LSU lol.

 

[KyKevin]

Good lord. Pass gets in clean amazingly and we can't corral it.

Fumble fingers

 

[Farsight Clone]

I have apathy. It sucks. I am no longer excited for this program.

Again. Root issue = Mitch.

Pope would have never been hired if Mitch didn't make a hire for himself instead of the program.

Of Course Pope would take it. He should have never been offered.

Bruce Pearl was literally there wearing a UK colored jacket. He wanted to come here. Mitch said no. He would've been excellent for 5 years.

 

[BigBluefoot]

team is CURSED with Garrison on the floor.

I think we could train a squirrel to block out before we could Garrison. Then again it goes back to coaching.

 

[megablue]

Turnovers

 

[AJBlue]

Boys that was a called flop from the bench and pearl 1000%

 

[TX Wildcat]

Almost time for Word Salad, Yummy Yummy!

 

[HenryMuto]

Kentucky was 96% to win when up 3 with 18 secs left

 

[96Cats]

First half analytics said Moreno turned his ankle under that basket in the first 10 seconds so its 99.9% likely he does it in the last 10 seconds down there. Had to put Garrison in to prevent us losing on a MM ankle injury on a rebound attempt.

 

[SamePooter]

Meanwhile… I’m sitting in a hotel room with my two sons…… still daydreaming about what just happened about thirty minutes after the game.. I snap out of it to see BYUs Dybansta absolutely dominating.

did that guy really visit Kentucky before? Is Stokes even considering UK at all? Like seriously. Thanks Dybansta for making the game That much more depressing.

 

[HenryMuto]

Can't believe we can't get the ball in with 14 secs left it should never came down to a ref blowing the call we should be able to get the ball in

Y’all need to get over 65 year old Cal lite which is what Pearl is. We can and should do much better. But Pope ain’t it either. I really hoped he was.

Pearl has two final 4's. How many does Pope have?

 

[mash_24]

It was a **** call man. You don’t call that in that situation unless it’s flagrant.

 

[TX Wildcat]

See you in the NIT, Tigers!

 

[mash_24]

I said Pope ain’t it either dumbass.

 

[kuhlkat]

The ones blaming the refs This team just flat out is horrible.

Both can be true

 

[OldScratchBlues]

All the refs stole the game.. Okay... if that call doesn't happen and we win by a couple against a horrible Auburn team, we still are a horrible team.
We win against said horrible team and lose more games in the sec and possible first round loss in sec tourney we probably get a 9 seed in ncaa tourney and flame out.
I'm at the point that even if we had beaten that pitiful team, we're just pitiful 1A and the program is like the titanic first striking the iceberg.

 

[HenryMuto]

Just grab the freaking rebound and you win

 

[SamePooter]

Pearl has two final 4's. How many does Pope have?

At Auburn . Even more impressive

 

[Ford to Mashburn]

I still dont get why Garrison was in the game over Moreno there. Moreno can rebound at least.

Garrison needs to go

 

[HenryMuto]

Hall 3/15 for 10 pts
Pettiford 2/9 for 9 pts

AND WE LOSE UNREAL

 

[mash_24]

At Auburn . Even more impressive

He lured Cal into a rock fight without having his best player for one of those. Does that even count? Thats like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[HenryMuto]

Up 3 with 18 secs and we have 2 fouls called on Kentucky that changed this game

 

[Farsight Clone]

At Auburn . Even more impressive

He revitalized the Tennessee Program to be where they are today as well.

 

[SamePooter]

It was a **** call man. You don’t call that in that situation unless it’s flagrant.

If I’m Pope I probably take the easy way out there. Go after the ref. Violently. You know you’re failing. Show that raw passion and get fired. It’s a way to make your failure seem better. Would have did it for the fans.

get fired for attacking the zebras and maybe be remembered as a legend. Catapult us into a new coach at the same time

 

[Farsight Clone]

I said Pope ain’t it either dumbass.

Why you mad?

 

[KyKevin]

I would rather win the NIT than lose 1st/2nd game of the NCAAT (assuming we can get in)

We wouldn't come close to winning the NIT with this team
