So? Theyre not that good either. I rewatched 2015 Kentucky vs West Virginia. No teams are even close.
Duke, Arizona, and UConn aren't good? And you're comparing them to a game a decade ago?

You can't be serious. That's one of the dumbest things I've read on here and that's saying something.

either way, pope has next season to get to the 4 or close or it’s done deal. If he gets a 4th it’ll be dead man walking. I’m gonna just wait patiently. Right now he’s just meh, average joe and shouldn’t be at UK. The second he wants to be elite and does so I’ll listen.

That dude from Providence who decided to choke someone going for a dunk should be ashamed of his “hair cut.” Embarrassing doesn’t even accurately describe it. I’ve never seen anyone with a neck beard on that back of their neck.
I'd have booted him for the hair grooming.

Have to get Chandler more shots
It’s going to be impossible if the refs refuse to call the holding every time chandler attempts to get free. After he made the first 3 the Florida “strategy” has been to just grab his jersey anytime he makes a cut.

Getting a rebound and having it knocked out of our hand is a problem. It happens every single game and teams have scouted it. We have weak hands.
Some of those were arm smacks with no calls. Refs have been mostly OK, but they have let some stuff go with a UF team that loves to hack, swat and reach.

We really needed JQ in this one. He's strong enough to hold his own with Chinyelu and would bully Handlogten. Kam would have helped out too as another wing option.
Exactly. We have no answer for Chinyelu. My 9th grader blocks out twice as good as he does. How a 7 footer gets rebounded over is amazing to me

Coming out, if they take 3 threes and miss them and we take 3 threes and hit them, it's tied. Not probable, of course, but certainly possible.

UF outscored UK by 6 points on threes; UK needed the opposite to win. Maybe if that reverses in the second half it could get close. If not, it turns into a blowout.

I agree but like the oiher guy said it happens on almost every rebound all game long every game. Hold it with 2 hands and elbows flying!

9 first half turnovers that is too many
8 first half missed layups that is too many
They have made 5 3s to our 3 that is too many
We have missed 20 2s that is too many

First 5 minutes will determine if we win or lose. If we get it even or stay close we can pull this out. Let UF go on a run like they did to start this game and we will have a BIG FAT ugly L

After all the mistakes, we are in this. Need to shore some things up and hit some shots, bit we are right there.
It would be nice to get a couple of their bigs in foul trouble. That would loosen some things up in the paint.
I feel like a lot of our missed layups were from us rushing shots because we're afraid of getting blocked.

Huh....you don't turn the ball over for nearly 9 minutes and you gut into their lead.

Let Aberdeen and Oweh get to work. Chandler to get some good looks and let’s do this!

I want to see us attack the **** out of UF in the paint this half. Ef settling for threes if they aren’t open. Be aggressive. It works for this team.

The multiple walks and double dribble resulting in points were momentum killers no doubt.
And the fact that they ignored “gentle hacking” from Florida but called us for some of the weakest fouls I’ve seen in my entire life and wouldn’t call Florida for a foul on our drive unless the contact was extreme.

And just like that a ref finds an invisible foul to call on us because Florida was having trouble finding offense. And two fouls on Jelovich on a single possession. Refs be winning today.

Guys hold something damn. Quit giving it back as soon as you get it. Learn to play with momentum.
