it's not funny, this game is the difference between a 1 seed or a 2-3 given the dumpster fire of a conference we play in
IT'S NOT OK TO LOSE

This one is on Cal and our guards. Snyder looked like an AA out there tonight.
Yeah, the mental instability of people on this board is crazy. It sucks so much to lose, even more to Louisville, but come one. I'm all for criticizing mistakes and decisions, but all the people saying how embarrassing or terrible it is are just mad they can't go in to work tomorrow and rub it in someones face.
It's one game on the road we weren't favored to win anyway. I hate losing but they're not cancelling the season for it. Haha
By what? 7 points total to 2 top 10 teams both with years of experience?
Some people need to learn how to deal with losing. It happens folks. I'm going to let you in on a secret. They'll lose again too.
Again you're missing the point. We play only 3 good teams in the eyes of the NCAA and lose 2. Unless we going through the SEC with no more than 1 loss you can kiss the #1 seed good bye. It's a long haul for even a #2 seed right now. Get ready for a bracket in march where our 2nd round game will be against a top 10 caliber team.
yes, it is
I don't know how many times we have to get bent over by the committee until you realize unless we go in as a totally dominant team, we are getting shafted
In many respects, this was our first real basketball game. Solid opposing defense. We had to play in the half court for the first time. I know folks like ripping up and down the floor but that's fools gold. We lost by three on a hostile court in the first road game for the first hardcore basketball we've had to play. We're ok.
If you can't take this, jump now. Otherwise, welcome to KY basketball.

So the way I'm reading some of this meltdown logic, because we lost by one possession to a top 10 team, and our biggest rival, we can't build any sort of resume.
This was the game we could MOST lose and still be alright, resume wise.

If you're ever OK with losing to Louisville, let alone one as bad as this Louisville team then, you need a remedial course in being a UK fan. Sorry but, it's true.
I've told you guys over and over to either smoke pot or take Valium.. It makes you level headed and not expect a win every game.. If you're all hell bent over this loss,, it's all on you.. 
The "bent over" that happen is because of bad losses (Auburn and Tennessee last year, for example). Too 25 and top 50 wins build resumes. Top 10 road losses don't ruin them.
well you can bet some garbage SEC teams will pull a win out of their *** against us, unless we go 18-0 because there aren't any other good teams in the league
the path to a 1 seed was 1 ooc loss at most and 3 conference losses at most, we've already lost 2 ooc and still have Kansas
If that happens, THAT will be to blame why we didn't get a good enough seed. Not tonight's loss.
I know it sucks. I freaking live in Louisville, right here on the front line. But this doesn't destroy our season or our path to a top seed. It just doesn't.
that's right
Duke won't lose in the non-conf at home, Kansas won't, UNC won't, Nova won't. None of them will play UCLA, but that doesn't matter, a loss is a loss.
Us losing to UCLA at home will look better than any of those cats losing to a bad non top 50 conference opponent at home though.
Love your passion bro, just thing the angst over this loss and tourney seeding is misplaced.
We are Kentucky. A loss, especially at home, will never look good under any circumstance. At best it's a missed opportunity for a marquee win.
They're a good defensive team. They're a TERRIBLE offensive team. They looked better offensively tonight than they have all year. That's not a good look for us.
You're right, it IS a missed opportunity to really get a big time marquee win. I don't disagree there. And we could have won that game. So I get the disappointment.
We were 8-1 vs them,, do I need to pull out the crayons and write it down like that?
