OK folks, the CATS get the W tonight but seriously. But there are some issues that need to be worked on. Take off any blue tinted shades and realize that.
Don’t think anyone will argue we got D work to do. When we play good D we will be tough to beat. This team has much more potential than last year.

Not good. We seem to be more and more ill-prepapred every year recently.

But I actually prefer this over a 36pt win. Hopefully, every player on the team just got a wake-up call that this isn't high-school ball.

Go small and play a million miles an hour , we have shooters , go FAST ... because we are going no where with Brooks, Ware or Collins .. Collins is so weak . Ware is EKU material .
Ware reminds me of Mark Coury a bit.

I hope so. Heck, last years team may have lost this game. But this bunch needs to bring it better than this. Something just seems off to me.

Played better the 2nd half until the last 2 minutes. Missed front end of 2 or 3 1&1’s. Gave up 3 straight wide open 3’s and they got a couple lucky bounces. Happy to see Dontae play well. One of the best overall games I’ve seen from him.

It’s Game 2? And we got punched in the mouth. And probably overlooked them.

Second half was better for a bit.
Gimmicky kind of game.

glad we took a mouth punch though no matter who it’s from.

50% from three. They just don’t miss much. God help their conference.
Yeah they showed stats at the end that their coach is the best coach in their history in only a short time, and that they’ve basically dominated their conference since he’s been there, that they were put on pause by covid, but came back by punching Kentucky in the mouth.

It gives me some peace of mind to know that their coach has made them the best they can be for what they are, but at the end of the day they’re still D2, and they’re still on the road at Rupp, and this game should have been a dominant win for any team that’s actually top 10 in the country in college basketball.

I know they had a statistically wild first half from 3, but that’s no excuse, Kentucky should have been winning easily, regardless of this team going crazy from 3.

I’ve been the biggest sunshine pumper in this thread, but there isn’t a line big enough for me to not put money on Duke when the sportsbooks open the line again.

I mean Kentucky looks lost on offense, they look like a YMCA pickup team improvising an offense every play, then on defense good lord they got torn up inside by Wesleyan and they got torn up outside by Miles.

I’m an eternal optimist regarding this program but I mean what the hell is going on, this is bad.

Hopefully it's a bit of a wake up call before the Duke game. They need to know they need to BRING 100% for that.

Game 2. And we played hell of a lot worse tonight than last Friday. Lost of selfish ball tonight.

We will see what happens Tuesday. I’m not expecting good things. But who knows.

Dejavu Lucy still not letting Charlie Brown kick the ball.
