More like we did not take advantage of Florida's shooting woes like Vandy has and also Florida has had a hard time defending Vandy's outside game.
Right. If we shot the ball like Vandy has, we win easily and UF's rebounding edge looks a lot more respectable too.
We played well but couldn't hit anything. We depend on shooting at a decent clip and even more so against a team like UF.

True. Make shot, win game.
That's why it's such a pure sport.

Football is great and a chess match. Basketball can be too- but sometimes with basketball- if a team just gets hot- that chess match doesn't mean jack. If I can still make shots over your big tall guys- I can still win regardless how well and good you play.

They didnt even get up for us, they played awful against us 😭

We just played worse
Are you confusing playing well and getting up for us? They played hard and with passion against UK. Today, they had no passion and no energy. Golden was fired up yesterday and today he was a lost puppy. We took their soul in that slugfest yesterday.

These are facts. Can't argue, 'em. But it does look like Florida lost some focus today.
"Some focus?" Dykes constantly said things like it looks like Vandy has 6 defenders on the floor and Florida is being outworked. They quit and Golden who was fired up yesterday looked like a lost puppy.

I like you as a poster but can't you see the differenct in how Florida played yesterday against us and then today against Vandy? They were flat, flat and flat. They just had no passion. Dykes made comments the whole game about Florida being outworked. We didn't get open layups yesteday but Vandy got a bunch today.

I can. I just don't care. They beat us three times. We have no room to talk. They could very well go on a title run and use this loss to fuel them. Even if they don't- they just won a title last year.

Meanwhile, our last hardware of any type was SIX YEARS AGO when we TIED for the SEC Reg Season and we're worried if we'll even make a second weekend.

Not saying you are, but punching up is a LOSER mentality in my book.

I get all that. I have to admit that I am a bit sick of all the "We want Golden" threads but I was actually cheering for them to go all the way until our game yesterday. The way that they acted rubbed me the wrong way and I decided I wanted to see them lose.

We are having a tough year. It happens. Hopefully, we will ALL be watching a far better UK team next year! As I said in another thread, I lived through the Georgetown final debacle and the Sutton debacle, etc. We are down but will be back.

I've no doubt we can be back. But we have stupid administration and a bad contract with JMI. Meanwhile, UConn and Duke are still rolling. And if Self retires, they're snagging the next big coach.

Fair enough, but that's what happens when you stretch their defense because ya shoot the ball well. We didn't

I’m so sick of the mass delusion of the Kentucky fanbase. Just a collective of mass cope, desperately clinging onto whatever lie they can convince themselves to feel better about losing yesterday when Florida wasn’t even playing that well.

Ehhh they played bad enough yesterday we should have won 8 times out of 10. We just didn’t execute, rebounded poorly and couldn’t make shots.

You know **** you all you do is put down this program the players, the coach and the fans. Yeah this is not a good year, but we are in Kentucky and we had some real downtime through the years and we've come back.. It's actually known that we are more than any individual coach. We are the best program around by far. Hell, even when we're having a down year like this, we're all college basketball talks about. You and a couple others think as fans we should just walk around with her tails tuck between her legs. I totally disagree.. where a proven program and like always we will be on top again. I think some of you confuse with understand this is just something we have to work through with that we accept this we don't. You seem to get joy and just saying how much everything about Kentucky sucks right now. Well like I said **** you.

Could have been where they beat us the other times we played that it was a mental obstacle for most of the team. We missed a good opportunity to beat them, but it is what it is. Goldens a good coach but dang he’s arrogant. I’m glad Vandy beat them.

All I do? Try again. I won't apologize for wanting us to be the best and not defend mediocrity. I get NO great joy out of it. And my posts and time here are proof of that. I've been here through great wins and bad losses- and only miss games due to work or sickness. I bleed blue bud.

I don't believe I've ever said as something as ugly to you as you just said to me. What respect I had for you is gone.
