I encourage anyone to post how they feel, however irrational it is. Lol. But if a person does, they should take off the dress and take the blow back like a man. It works both ways.
Everything Still Look Fixed?

So you're not going to give a lick if credit to Vandy?
Let me tell you something, regardless of their record, they would have beaten most of the teams in the top 10 last night. They were hitting shots from distance and they have a squad that can shoot a high percentage from three point range from all FIVE positions.
This wasn't just one shooter that went off, their center was hitting 25 footers.
If you think that should have been an easy game than you don't know **** about basketball.
They may have a bunch if losses, but they didn't get those losses playing the way they did last night, they have a new coach and it took some time for him to get that team to this point.
And it's not going to be close. If Vandy plays in Saturday the way they did last night, it's lights out for Florida.
Exactly, and Oklahoma wasn't hitting crazy threes ike Vandy was last night.
Could be epic... It amazes me to no end how teams get up to play the Cats. (Not taking anything away from the Vandy as they sure seem to have a good coach and nucleus.) Time will tell but they played with gusto last night. Vim and Vigor, gravitas, holy frijoles, jumping jiminy, blimey, blow me down good....may not be able to repeat that effort but I hope they do...at least against Florida..
I think Vandy has been playing this way for the last couple if weeks. They fought their way onto the bubble and have been on fire lately.Could be epic...

I don't think their effort last night was the normal Kentucky affect, I think they are just that good.
Drew is proving he is a good coach. There are enough pieces on this Vandy team to be a dangerous out if they can somehow sneak in the tournament. I could see them playing in that 12 seed play in game.
ESPN article about Cats pushing it's luck against inferior teams.
Makes me nervous as that can be the formula for an early NCAA upset

I would rather push my luck and win than push my luck and lose like Duke.
No they wouldn't have. Vandy wouldn't have beaten many teams let alone top 10 teams last night. They hit some nice 3's but they didn't do anything else right. Vandy's inability to even dribble the basketball was laughable. Their defense was mediocre at best and they were terrible at rebounding and they could hardly even get in their offensive set.
Even while hitting some amazing 3's their overall shooting percent wasn't great. They still only shot 44% from the field. It throws everyone off because they hit 6 of the first 7 at the start of the 2nd half and the announcers kept telling everyone that Vandy is shooting 80%. Still it was just a 7 shot stretch in the game. Vandy wasn't good at all. UK was just plain awful for 30 minutes. I think we only had something like 6 points at the 10 minute mark of the first half. That was what kept Vandy in the game. If we even had a normal off night at that point we would have had a double digit lead at the half. This wasn't an amazing game by Vandy we just were that bad at the start of the game. Give UK even a pedestrian 35 at the half and this game would have been a rout.
OP if UK would've lost: See, I told you guys! You just can't see what I can see...I KNEW this was coming!
OP since we won: Whew...it's a good thing I did this reverse jinx thread, or it's obvious we would have lost. Cal can't coach! (Great defensive adjustment to bring some energy by Cal btw)
To answer the OP, things aren't all fixed. It's a process, just like every year, and we're making incremental improvements especially defensively. I'll take it...

Meanwhile, ESPN continues to pump Duke.
We are what we are. At the end of the day we are 25-5, possibly 26-5 heading into the SEC tourney as a 1-seed.
These close games are very frustrating, but it may be exactly what this team needs.

LOL, "they only shot 44%".
First of all, 44% is very good, but you're ignoring the excellent defense that brought them DOWN to 44%.
UK's defense had to be stellar to beat that team.
Poo poo it all you want, but you just look bad in the process.
makes no difference either way, Florida just wrecked Arkansas again and will be a 4 seed at worst playing in front of our fans in Orlando the first weekend.
