They have outscored us by 9 at the freethrow line. The difference in this game is Duke is permitted to be physical on defense and we aren't. It's hard to score when you are hacked on drives and shots.
Refs trying to cheat us and not even trying to disguise it. I’ll take down 4 after that half.
Sad to watch the favoritism for the Duke program, can we just see the kids play ball without the cheap whistles.
Can’t run an offense when fouls keep disrupting the flow. We are getting absolutely jobbed on the ref side of the equation.
Love this team. Angry *** team.

When Grady shoots I’m confident
Considering how bad we got jobbed, gotta be happy it’s just 4.
Down 4 with the refs putting Oscar on the bench quick. I'll take it. Hopefully Tyty can knock down some shots in the 2nd half.
Hey.. were pretty ****** good playing Duke 5 on 8... and still hanging in there.
I figured Kentucky would be down at half. The refs wouldn't have it any other way.

And Brooks needs zero. He can't play in a game like this.
Proud of the team for that effort. Probably as good or better a half than we put together all year last year.
take out the fake free throws. UK is ahead
Overall not bad at all.
The shooting wasn't good and yet we are still in this thing.

Grady living up to that Davidson hype
Ware still has potential, I like his attitude.
My lord without those 3-4 absolutely phantom foul calls we are probably winning. Literally just making **** up.
Half the team didn’t show up and playing 5-8 down 4 at half I’ll take it.
Did ware actually step out of bounds though? The cut the camera on the replay right before it showed him coming down with it
What a terrible handoff and an even more terrible foul. Four point swing on that.
I cannot hate Banchero. He was great in the Goonies.
Can’t see how you can’t be happy about that half despite being down 4. You can see it on Cal’s face in that halftime interview he liked the fight.
Got screwed by the refs multiple times, Oscar with foul trouble, couple of missed dunks and layups, Duke hit some dumb shots, and still only down by 4. Not bad.

I do too. Seems like a great kid.
Not gonna lie, I thought first half would be worse for UK. Even coach cal said, "I'm happy,....2 exhibition games" yeah, this team might be very special.
He’s playing off the ball. Not his game or his strength. Gonna be a dilemma all year
Prediction: Oscar picks up his 3rd foul before the 1st TV timeout and Cal sits him until 8 minutes left.
