***** Kentucky vs Santa Clara Game Thread *****

[spincr4hire72]

I was cursing Oweh in the second half but damn he made us all proud 🥹

 

[UKCowboys]

Welp. That was the back breaker stretch. Garrison dumb foul, Oweh dumb foul, give up a three

SC will pull away. These guys have no heart

Sigh

 

[UKCowboys]

Exactly not a one of these players are UK players…. We are nothing but a ******* joke anymore… Thank you Mitch Barnhart you’re such a stupid ******* *** clown!

And another

 

[KyKevin]

Every tournament has that one game with a miracle last second shot or other memorable plays. It's nice to see UK on the positive side of one again. We'll be seeing that sequence a lot the rest of this tourney!

Probably not two 3's in 3 seconds though, that was classic March madness s.hit there, and we came out on top of it

 

[will1976]

Another

They beat a mediocre team. But yeah bring up quotes in the heat of the moment. Fan police..

 

[UKCowboys]

These turds suck from top to bottom, the whole program needs to start over.

For sure

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

ACT LIKE IT

I do

 

[KyKevin]

That OO shot sunk some hearts on here.

And I am so fkn glad, I think we beat Iowa st also

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Most laughed when I said Santa Clara was the one 10 didn't want us to play. Darn near half court miracle to get us to OT.
We may get trucked Sunday.

 

[KyKevin]

We WON. A KY fan should be happy today. My goodness.

 

[KyKevin]

Who was pulling against Ky?

A fkn bunch bitching after a win about Pope, we won, any true fkn blue fan is happy

 

[KyKevin]

I don’t believe that. I know some say that. But I can’t believe anyone posting on a UK website doesn’t want a win.

Are you fk. S.hitting us or yourself, or both. There are some soured a.ss fans, or just a lot more trolls then I thought.

 

[bbnkat02]

I had a meeting and missed the end of my goodness Otega Oweh. I could hug you.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Pope needs to bring in Noah

Apparently you don’t recognize sarcasm

 

[Cowtown Cat]

The rest might be trolls. If you think I’m a troll after posting here for 11 years and lurking for 13 … that’s a you problem.

Calm down, bro. We don’t think you’re a troll. At least I don’t. You’ve been around forever.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Three trolls

Any other reason for his forced mid range, middle of the shot clock with zero passes shots or guarded 3s? Oh I know, your boy Popes offenses is like a video game, open shots everywhere.

 

[KyKevin]

ESPN only credited Oweh with a 32 foot 3 I went back and looked at replay it was much closer to 40 feet.

Not much past half court, some things are just meant to be, a 40 ft bank

 

[KyKevin]

Bounce pass TO late when we had the lead in OT was another.

Bottom line
He had the biggest plays in this game, with rebounding and blocking shots.

Garrison gets my props

 

[OldScratchBlues]

As much as we talk about bad coaching. Thanks to Herb for not fouling with a second left

 

[BMR1987]

You don't get it, this is the NCAA Tournament, no style points here ONLY win and advance.

We all love this program, we just disagree on what the future looks like under current leadership (including UK Prez and outgoing AD).

I'm thrilled with this win even if it was closer than I predicted. Like I said, taking off my Blue Goggles and just looking at it as a basketball fan, that was an amazing finish. This team has already went as far as I took them in my bracket and any win we get from them beyond today has exceeded my expectations entering the tournament. I don't know what else you want me to say. I'm looking at how IOWA STATE is looking right now and I'm jealous. That shouldn't be the case. My standard is more than just barely beating the 3rd place team from The WCC. I think/hope Mark Pope would agree.

I pray that Mark capitalizes on the free publicity of that Oweh stat line and The Shot, and finds a sales pitch that works with Stokes/future recruits and top portal players. He has to find that killer instinct within himself, become forged in the fire of this pressure cooker, and deliver something bigger than this in Year 3. I want Kentucky to be great and win.

 

[ManitouDan]

Things that went unnoticed. MM gave up that late go ahead 3. That dude gives up more open 3s than any player in UK history. 7 foot tall and hands down.

He had a AWFUL day , I like him but he was sooooo off today.

Except its early on Friday lol

Been thinking its Sat all day .

 

[KyKevin]

Who said I wanted us to lose? I said win OR lose pope needs to be fired, bro

You said your not a troll, are you just a disgruntled fan?

 

[KyKevin]

Incredibly fun ending to that game. Oweh with a shot that will live in Kentucky infamy. A One Shining Moment scene for sure.

With that being said, if you're not concerned for the future of this program after watching this game then you just don't get it.

Serious question
Do you think this was a s.hitty team? I thought they had a very good team, and we just beat them.

 

[BetterThanYou]

If you can’t let it go until after the game Sunday then you need to get some therapy.

try to enjoy the weekend and the win, root for them to steal the game on Sunday. If they lose, then start back up with the disgruntlement.

 

[UKCowboys]

I know you are butt hurt the Cats won...Recover!

 

[KyKevin]

How does one even respond to such an IDIOT. Huge NCAA win at UK and this is the horse apples you post. GO BIG BLUE!!!!

He's a fkn idiot, to even say something like that, no wonder he has Doom in his name. That's how I will respond to him.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Let me introduce you to my friend. His name is Haywood Jablome

Exactly. Take a look at ISU right now and its obvious they are salty. IF we beat them, I think we are even money against either Tenn or Virginia. But we have a lot of freaking work to do to make that IF happen

 

[KyKevin]

As much as we talk about bad coaching. Thanks to Herb for not fouling with a second left

It happened to fast, and not a player or Herb thought of it quick enough

That's the madness

The out does the sales pitch

We're all rejoicing after that game. Huge win for the program.

 

[KyKevin]

I was cursing Oweh in the second half but damn he made us all proud 🥹

I've never cursed a player, and praised them in the same game, as much as Oweh.
Go Oweh, it's your team

 

[KyKevin]

They were in the tourney, and we move on, enough said

Cuz it's like a cancer patient who's dying getting another month to live

My dad died of Cancer and I can promise you, I would give a Hell of a ******* lot more than a basketball game to have another month with him. You can stick your LOD take up your ***

 

[Legionofdoom96]

But if you think of pope like cancer removing him would heal the program

 

[Monday Nitro]

Probably YOU! LMAO

Ahhhhh, the first cold beer of the weekend. What a lifelong ride UK basketball is !!!!
