We couldn’t have played a more uglier game. Hope they loosen up and unfurl themselves

It has been a long time since I actually felt embarrassed by UK play. This is beyond embarrassing. Washington is out of control with the ball. Grady's expression looks like someone who has been scared to death by something. Shooters won't take open looks. We are consistently dribbling into trouble. Cal is doing nothing to get his players better looks. The refs suck.

Ut has a player on the floor who had to leave the game twice yesterday after rolling his ankle and we can't guard him. If Wheeler or Washington had rolled an ankle, they would have to miss at least 3 wks.

This team is showing no heart today from the coaching staff to every player on the team.
Did you turn it off?

This looked similar to the Duke game. TyTy at some point trying to do too much stuff on his own. But at least he is willing to take a shot. Grady only stands waiting for a wide open shot or he won't shoot.

Oscar 3 pts, 2 rebounds has a lot of work to do to keep the double double streak alive. Hopefully he can and it results in a win.

Shooting we are 27% from field 0% from 3 that normally doesn't get it done.

Well I thought this would be better type of team for Cal to win with that had experience. I just don’t ever see Cal winning another title at UK!
He lacks the selfishness that is required of a multi-title coach. Calhoun and K both had it. So did Roy Williams, who allowed guys like Hansbrough and Jackson to return. Even Donovan, who had his full team return for that second Florida title. Cal would have told a few of those guys to leave after the first title.

Cal is too benevolent and doesn't put pressure on the kids to return. That kind of selflessness will cost him more chances at a title, I'm afraid.

Grady is dead set on shattering the backboard today.

1) That Kansas game looks more and more like an anomaly with each passing week.

2) The first half is why this team can lose to ANYONE in the tourney.

You don't have to win every game, but at least go down with a fight. Know when you leave the court that there was nothing else to give.

I'm so pissed we didn't play Collins. What the hell does it matter when your down 11. Somebody has to provide a spark. Or play Brooks and Toppin together
Eh i don’t think Collin’s could handle the physical play in this game

I don't know about you, but it’s only been a year since I was embarrassed by UK basketball. Hasn't been all that long.

Cal's going to have to earn his paycheck to get this win.
