Ut and Ament were on fire in the first half. They are not a 3 point shooting team, on the season. Our defense was ok and our effort was good in both halves, but Pope put Chandler on Ament and their whole team came back down to earth in the 2nd.

We Won! Be happy! I don't understand some "fans.'
The majority of their 1st half 3s were wide open. It wasn't a lucky streak. We just didn't want to guard like we should the 1st half. We seem to have a problem with effort or motivation in 1st halves

IDK why some BBN Bros do this to themselves. Wait til the game's over. This team loves farting around in the first halves of games, then scratching and clawing their way back in the second halves. I think they're trying to kill me.

We play the softest, weakest, defense of any team in the country! Pope and these guys should be ashamed of themselves for the horrible effort that they consistently show. I’m about to turn this ish off! I have plenty of better things to do than to watch a bunch of guys that could give a ish less of they win, lose, or just plain look like ish!
LOL I say this every game it appears. First half posting is so dumb.

Well, is he wrong about the first half? We are such a jekyll and Hyde team. Clearly we can fight and play defense when we want to. Clearly Pope can make the right halftime adjustments. But it's amazing how we can't seem.to do any of those things in the 1st half. It's honestly odd.
You realize the other team contributes also. Cant just say I'll win both halves. Sometimes you have to take the other teams shot, then beat them.

He posted this at halftime, not after the game. There was a lot to be unhappy about the first half which has become way to common under pope. If he has any chance of being a long term coach here, that has to get fixed.
Or, just don't post in the first half. Definitely don't come back after looking foolish and double down.

Life advice.

Just a weird team. Great comeback. Pope made great adjustments at halftime. Wish he would make them quicker, but, it worked out

Brother I’m with you but we didn’t play ok defense in the first half. We were literally giving them whatever they wanted. That’s what drives me insane!

Thank you sir!!! But these guys would rather tell you that it was all in the plan and it’s fine and dandy to play complete suck *** effortless ball in a half!
No but losing your small mind on a message board... well, bless your heart.

I never said that at all. What I’m sick of is getting down 14, 17, and 18 points til we start playing ball and giving honest effort! It’s easy to be a pumper like 90% of you in this thread but I promise you this isn’t the way to win in March/April! The WIN IS GREAT AND IM AS HAPPY AS ANYONE but this isn’t the way to be consistent and to win big in the dance!
Your problem is looking at half of a game and not looking at other eight out there last nine full games. Nobody cares about how many half of a game that people lose during a season as long as they ultimately are winning the whole games.

Did this idiot just watch the UK vs Vandy again? It’s February 7th.

So yall go ahead and explain what we were doing in that first half?? Go ahead and tell me how proud yall were of that lackadaisical defense. I’ll wait.


NO
You go ahead and tell us about the final score 😜
I'm waiting 😁

Really proud of that final score, last I looked,they don't count first half scores on the won or lost record.

It's the result at the end of a game that matters
Sure, but it wouldn't be that close if we put forth 40 minutes of full effort. You just can't continue digging holes and expecting to fight out every game. We are ok right now...sure, but we could be really good. Not sure why this nuance is hard to grasp.

And that was "constructive criticism".
Perhaps for a 3rd grader.

Or it could go like the Vandy/Okla game earlier today. Get a big lead and scramble to hang on. Same score. Which you more happy with. Same in the long run.

The opponent also plays into it. Not like we get to just name how much we score/give up each game.

Well, with tonight's officiating I can't refute that possibility.

You were the one who called OPs post constructive criticism. I was sarcastically using your term.No, you were claiming someone using "lolololol I lolololol" in a post was constructive criticism.
Yeah, I got that. But "lolololololol" isn't constructive. It's juvenile.

Pointing out the obvious at the time is not foolish. Hope you do something else besides give life advice for a living.

I love how these trolls jump on here early and post crap, only to disappear after the game.

The only thing that counts is the final score. Truly.

Pearl clutching before half time doesn't.

If it is obvious...you don't need to point it out.

More life advice.

First time ever visiting a message board? There are highs and lows throughout the season and even games. Why have a game thread, just everybody wait until the game is over and then come on. For that matter, why have threads during the season, just wait until the season is over then all come and do a recap. Stop giving life advice, you suck at it.

Sort of like you suck posting at half time. Sorry your team lost.

And no, people do not have to wait until game is over to post. Just don't post stupid crap. Pretty easy.

Also, game thread is where most post their emotional posts. But to post a new thread with that weak stuff is what gets pointed out when it is obviously pearl clutching.

I remember that screen name fom years back and it's non-stop trolling. Wild how much time some will spend to pretend to be a UK fan.
