We let 2 wins, distract from the fact that this team is insanely average, and they do stupid crap all the time. Hell last years Kentucky team goes into half up 12-15 right now

And we’re shooting midrange jumpers. Cal needs to retire.
I agree we are playing lazy, but that German dude has repeatedly got between us and their shooter and literally starts pushing our defender down into the paint away from the shooter. Not that it's the only reason we coughed up this lead. It's just is so annoyingly obvious.
Cal's offense is apparently "take as many of the worst shots in basketball as possible" and our opponents' strategy is "okay, you do that." Calipari is a dumbass and anyone who disagrees is more stupid than he is.
This is a team that can’t win without fighting. Not good enough to coast against anyone. Looks like the South Carolina game.
On offense whoever feels like taking a shot just does. No purpose at all.

He gets paid over $9,000,000 dollars to motivate college kids to care about the game they hope to make a career. It's on Cal.
Any coach who allows this should be fired. And would be anywhere else.
Seeing this half-time show with the top 5 being teams not named Kentucky makes me sick.
Never fails does it. Average player goes off playing vs UK. Kugel averages 11, already has 14. Reeves already has his average. Geez.
Yep Florida layups, dunks and 3s. Modern offense. Something Cal knows nothing about.
Bench coach ability of UK coaches. Strictly limited to coaching ability during games. Awareness of time and score, substitution patterns, ability to adapt, attention to details that win close ball games.

I would love to blame this on Cal, but this is all about extreme laziness by the players starting with Oscar. He is too trifling to raise his hands over his head when it is obvious his man is going to shoot.
Typical stupid-*** Calipari team making awful passes, playing matador defense and giving up threes.
Got a 15 minute lead and quit. Cal took Thiero out and Florida really started running, Cal called a meaningless timeout left the group in that was getting hammered and left Thiero on the bench.
15 point lead blown, trail by one at half...another one of John Calipari's Kentucky meltdowns.
It’s a struggle to be top 5 in our conference anymore.
We have been a lot better recently IMHO. This team has no killer instinct. Maybe that is on Cal, maybe not. Ultimately that is up to him to figure out. We struggle to "end it" when we rarely get up big.
Same thing happened Saturday....we just had a slightly larger lead.
I'd love to see the splits. For 12-15 mins of that half I bet we shot 65%...then just ice cold, dumb shots, slow defensive reaction and here we are.
I was wanting a easy second half like at vandy, when they were up 15 points pretty much the whole time, guess that’s to much to ask for with this group
Yep.I'm sick of Cal but we have veteran players who have to take some responsibility for this mess.
Let’s see some more long twos and poor defense. Winning formula
Hey, it's a good excuse to drink for another day. That's better than nothing!
Just win and get out of there please, you had a chance to have a easy second half, but no old Kentucky comes back
Cal thinks those long 2s is modern Offense.
Wait, you don’t think it’s on Cal when he calls a time out in the middle of the run and then sends the same exact players out onto the court and then they continue to make the run?
Yeah, that’s Cal’s freaking fault.
So why doesn't he bench them and play his quality 2nd or 3rd string guys? Oh, wait! He didn't sign any. My bad.
