I think we win this game. But we won’t go much farther if any. And I’ve felt this way for a while. I’d love to be wrong, but this team has major issues and they haven’t been addressed. Without Oscar this year would’ve been similar to last.
I hope we at least get a PG for next year. Everyone knows (even Kenny smith) that you don’t have to guard him.

4 out of 5 starters playing badly will leave you in a bad position. St Peters is rough housing the game and we don't do well when that happens. I'm sure hoping they can quit running around like a chicken with its head cut off in the 2nd half.

Barkley is dead on. This uk team plays down to competition and that is reflected on the coach. Davis and Barnes had their teams ready to play today and unc and tn rolled.

If we don't get it together we are done 2nite. Next 20 minutes literally decides a season as we have to play at a high level from here on out or going home. We might get lucky and win 2nite if we don't but wont win Saturday against whoever we play
And he got made fun of for saying it and should have held his ground because it isn’t just a this year problem. It is absolutely a consistent issue for years now, which means yes, it’s the coach’s problem. It’s a Kentucky problem.

Offense isn't the problem, shooting almost 50 percent and would be on pace for over 80 if they could just hold on to the ball.


Our guards flat out can't check anyone. This is St. Peter's. Just, awful.

Whatever cal says to his players before a big game ruins their performance. Been this way for a few yrs now and getting worse.

Those thinking this team is going to come out storming in the 2nd half are sadly mistaken. This team does not have the horses in the backcourt to make that happen. Period! Oscar is the only great player amongst a bunch of average players.

Are our guys that crappy on defense or is it coaching? We can't stay in front of anyone any game. How about the tweak? Nothing different from what we have been seeing. Come out flat as usual, just like always.

So we boat raced UNC, KU and TeNN but the mighty who ever the F we are playing is gonna get us? Stop it.

I agree about the guards.

But offense is a bit of a problem.

Wheeler, Washington, Grady a combined 2/12. That’s a problem.

Ok calmed down a bit
We have virtually no tourney game experience on this team
We didn’t shoot horrendously overall
Our free throws offset their threes I think
I’m not saying I’m comfortable
But there is a lot of game to be played yet and maybe….

I just can’t totally give up on this team yet.
Shew I know. I keep hoping the team from Jan/Feb shows up.
Unfortunately not. I’m officially worried

I'm glad I was sitting outside with my neighbor discussing random stuff rather than watching the first half of this mess. BUT...I guess I need to get focused on the second half and see WTH is going on. Come on CATS! This isn't funny.
