I think this can go either way. So I don't know.
We play at 12:30 on SECN Today.

Gotta have a 3rd scorer from here on out, whether it’s CC or whomever but someone has to help DA & OO. It could be a combo of guys but we need others to step up and help especially on offense.
I think so. Not enough time has passed for this team to lose too much focus. Maybe these tournaments will benefit them lol.
I think so pope does better when he feels cornered. So keep up pressure
I voted yes because I can’t stand thinking we lose. We need a third scorer, we also have to play better defense. Can’t let teams shoot 50% and expect to win.
The worst thing this team needs is adoration or positive reinforcement. A reverse jinx mentality
We were up 8 with 4: 34 in our first matchup. 4 turnovers in that timespan did us in. Oweh missed the go ahead layup with 13 seconds to go. Hopefully, we can finish this time around!
BTW, we were something like 6 of 16 at the rim for the game! UGHHHHH!

If we play as efficient on offense as yesterday then yes. The issue that drives me crazy with this team is that we could have won our game by 15+ if we played smart basketball and any defense at all.
We play as a team, get up 9. Instead of playing defense and extending the lead we give up 2 easy buckets because we shoot 2 fast shots on our end that have no chance.
Aberdeen made a 3 and the next trip down up 9 he jacks up a 30 footer. That’s the Gotta get mine mentality that has killed this team all year. Jelly starts out on fire and they act like he doesn’t exist the rest of the game.
We played great offense all game yesterday but every time we get up 6 we start being selfish and not contesting shots on the other end. It’s maddening.
I am afraid we will be fatigued, Oh, that is Pope's fear. Let's hope we don't get crazy substitute issues. If he will play exhausted players more than 8 minute stretches, we easily win this game.
I'm right there with you. I did the exact same. Mizzou is weak around the rim and doesn't rebound very well. They're awful defensively. It's honestly a really even matchup. I think the Cats have more shot makers, which is what it will probably come down to.
I would also like to believe (or hope to believe) that at least some of these guys want revenge. I think Oweh will be invested, probably a few others like Chandler. That earlier Mizz loss should not have happened.
Won't we be too tired?
That's a completely fair and understandable vote.Undecided
Did anyone see where Kam said last night that JQ could be back tomorrow if UK played Florida?
I didn't see it but saw a few folks talking about it on twitter.

The more important question is…
Which player is going to come out red hot, only to be pulled by Pope at the 16 minute mark, and thrown in ice machine?

We need to get our 3M worth somehow. If he comes back and leads us to a SECT title or Elite 8 or better than I will forgive him for this BS year. Until then it’s all talk and a waste of funds.
They executed everything they wanted down the stretch in that game and we looked lost on the other end. Very frustrating 4 min stretch.
No.
UK barely got its first win in Nashville this season.
Mizzou coach wants it more and brings the energy.
Mizzou by 6-10

I know this gets beat to death but how far we have fallen that we are "undecided" on a second round SEC tourney game against a so-so team. It once was losing to a team like Missouri a huge upset. Now, it won't be a huge shock and certainly not an upset. Sad.
It’s not really a coin flip. -3 to-5 point favorites based on all metrics. -3.5 at sports book and 67% to win. So we win 2 times out of 3. I think cats take it by 7.
KY 82
MO 78
Keys:
1) Shooting well
2) Defending Mitchell and limiting his impact on the inside game at both ends
GO CATS !!

If we win the SEC title or get to the E8 I ll will definitely apologize to Mark Pope and ask him very nicely to drop the restraining order.
I voted yes but I think it's really a toss up game. I hope Chandler has a better game.

Yes we will I voted NO because Team Fatigue will be making it's appearance today..
I voted yes, but Missouri needs a win to stay on the right side of the bubble. They'll be tough. We need better shooting today. Hopefully Chandler has a legacy type of game and BG keeps up the production off the bench.
Although seemingly unlikely, either of those would definitely be a step up and a show of improvement from last year.
