2 straight over the backs and pushoffs on Briscoe. Most impartial officiating I've ever seen in Rupp.

Wonder how much they all have on the line in Vegas in this one

So we just stop rebounding and blocking out? And wth does Willis do that Gabriel can't? He's missed three straight blockout assignments.

Maybe getting their asses kicked today will convince them they're not as awesome as their press clippings state...
Our switching on every screen is not working this game. Too many open looks from UCLA and they are hitting their shots.
I despise this switching everything nonsense. Wisconsin used that dumb strategy against us like any smart team should.

Why is Hawkins playing?

We also compounded the issue in the first half by putting out inept lineup combos like Hawkins-Fox-Gabriel-Bam-Hump.

Getting muscled underneath the basket unbelievably bad. Could be a foul most of the times but this crew has swallowed their whistle.

it doesn't even matter when we get an offensive rebound or work it around the perimeter for a good look because none of out guards can shoot

UK's inability to make shots is probably going to hurt them.

Can't win if you can't shoot. Decent teams will not allow the drives and layups.

This isn't close to the team I thought it was.

Not sure I understand this. Playing in Rupp isn't what's killing us here it's the lack of effort. UCLA is playing a poor game but is by far out hustling us. You won't beat anyone of substance playing like we are.

Its the fact that when Kentucky is at someone elses home it's a superboel for them and an absolute hose job.

Yet, we're finally home and it's still a ******** hose job.

Kentucky is up by 5 if they had any other jersey on.

Pound the dribble and drive into clogged paint.

Not a recipe for a W. Would be nice to have big men that can shoot.
