True. If they would've played defense in the first half the way they did in the second it wouldn't be an issue.

Game was lost on the offensive end. Bunch of missed opportunities middle of second half when they went on their drought.
For those of you talking moral victory... SHUT UP!!! This is the University of Kentucky we don’t have moral victories. We have wins and we have losses and this team LOST!!!
Did we play better in the second half? Yes but that honestly isn’t saying much when we are playing a garbage Notre Dame team.

I know Coach Cal loves friggin Boston but I would have loved a win. Why not pull him out the last play. He’s had trouble turning it over the whole game. Bobbled it which puts Sarr in a bad position to shoot.
Mintz Needs to be in for Boston. When he was in along with Clark, Jackson etc. we went on a 16 to nothing run.
And UK lost to a bad ND team.ND scored 16 points in the second half.
1-4 is 1-4. This is UK. 1-4 don't happen here without fans making noise. If you're ok with 1-4 then you don't belong here in the best fanbase in the country IMO.
It should piss you off!

It was really just the first 10-12 min. They held with ND after that, but it wasn't until the 2nd half that they started to chip away.
It didn't happen therefore it did not occur and we missed it. As everyone else did. You surely can't be that dumb.
All these people bashing moral victories.
Listen no one is happy with the loss but would you rather have lost by 30?
The fight in the 2nd half is good because hopefully it's a sign that will carry over into the other games.
If we fight like we did in the 2nd half for 40 mins, we'll win quite a bit of games.

Lol. That's dumb. You can't miss something if it never occurred.
You people act as if we wouldn't have made the tournament last season had their been one which is just not true.
I don't know why last year is even being mentioned.
lol i’m not a Cal apologist by any means but we didn’t “miss” it last year lol.
Possibly. But ND usually takes care of the ball.
It could have gone the other way as well and led to easy buckets on the other end.

I recall that we lost to Purdue, SMU, Indiana and UL at the first of the season.
Missing the NCAA tournament is going 13-17 and losing in your conference tournament. It's not having the tournament cancelled. At this point that person just wants to argue for arguments sake.
If you want moral victories go be a fan of a different team. Here’s the victory... the team didn’t act like they gave a $?!@ in the first half and in the second half they gave a medium sized effort when Notre Dame thought they had it in The bag. They probably checked the draft boards at halftime.
Nice memory. I was 9 going on 10 that season and had never watched a game of basketball to that point. I only wish it wasn't something you needed to know right now.
Yeah there's not one person on this board that said they "wanted" moral victories.

Well, I remember the Purdue loss because I had just moved to Texas from Indiana and Purdue fans were talking trash before the game. I remember the SMU loss because they were ranked in the Top Five at the time. The others were on National TV and it's always hard to forget losses to IU and UL in the same year, lol. Purdue hammered us pretty good at Mackey Arena and SMU beat us on a last second shot in Rupp. The Dallas Morning News called it "A Miracle Win" for SMU because it was at Rupp but they were better than us that year.
you can’t miss something that doesn’t occur lol. That’s like saying I missed a cancelled flight [laughing]
There are some insufferably miserable people here that want to beat you down at any site of positivity. Sux to be them. [laughing]
I wonder if this changes if there was say 1 second more on that clock and the Askew put back goes into before the buzzer tho.
Good gosh you are a dense person but I mean if this makes you feel better roll on with it. You are just the smartest person to ever grace the planet. This message board should idolize you.
Bottom line is we're 1-4 with 2 losses to mediocre teams in Rupp. This is not acceptable.
Also, yeah, we came most of the way back, but lets be real, ND let off the gas and never recovered. Dont buy into the fools gold, this team is so far away on so many aspects of the game. I don’t know if Cal can fix this in time tbh. We're going to get beaten badly when we start playing good teams.
I'm so tired of losing games in Rupp and really tired of watching bad basketball for most of the year just because Cal wants to get guys to the NBA.

We all know today's 2nd half only matters if they carry it over. That doesn't mean there weren't signs of positivity that came from it. We learned this team is better with Clarke handling the PG responsibilities. Thedifference is minimal if they are missing shots.We thought this, but today we saw it. We learned that this team can press if they do it with urgency. Not token pressure. Actual pressure on the ball and the other players trying to bring it up. We learned that this offense is better if it is run through Sarr. It was a belief before but in the 2nd half we actually saw what it would look like. These guys grew up today. Now they have to carry it over.
