Way to go Cats!! I saw some positives in the 2nd half. Gonna be a fun season.

I agree. Gonna be some ugliness first half of the season. But a lot of room for improvement and a lot of upside. Need to keep in mind that we are missing 2 players to injury also. For those already crying the sky is falling, Call your Dr. and get some meds. If we are playing like this in February I’d be very concerned. Right now is expected.

Even the Wall/Cousin squad had some close games early. Disclaimer: No, I'm not saying this team is near that good. Just saying that this is not a gauge on how good we'll be. What was the early game Wall got the last second shot on?

One thing in this game I saw and like, Whenever they got a TO on the other team, their heads were up and looked for the outlet pass. Especially to start the 2nd half.
I liked that this young group took a punch but didn’t lay down
And it looks like they took instruction well for the second half

Yeah it was our 18 year olds against their 21 year olds, with a 24 year old thrown in there. Didn’t think it was legal to play a 24 year old at this level but whatever.
What does age have to do with college eligibility?:Nothing. Advantages and disadvantages to getting older, but if it takes a person longer to get to college, like war, or hardship, or life circumstances, why would or should that be a reason to shut a person out of sports?

I want to pinpoint one more thing, and as I claimed I'm not a Calipari fan. But we have to be real here on the future of Kentucky Basketball.... Kentucky fans are getting tired of how Calipari runs a program. Out of the 37 years I've watched UK basketball this "appeared" to be one of the lowest attendance home games I've witnessed... The whole starting freshman get old, then leaving after 1 year... Trust me it doesn't have to be like this majority of them would stay however when Calipari recruits these guys he is telling them and their families I(Calipari) will mold you into a great NBA prospect if you come to Kentucky... Has Kentucky had success with Calipari? YES, but he has played a mediocre schedule, and now we finally see a good SEC League this year ontop of programs catching onto Calipari recruiting tactics. I just see us going downhill rest of the way. Non diehard Kentucky fans that actually accept facts and not fairytales will say the same thing.
P.S this has nothing to do with their horrid first game of the season.

Trolls out 2nite.
Man I'm not trolling, I'm saying it how it actually is... Everybody hates Kentucky fans including myself(why i don't attend home games in terms of basketball) cause its always the ref or our team is still to young... 50% of the post on this topic will prove this....I just don't get how people support a program that is built solely on a Prep League to enter the NBA the next year... You will never build leadership, experience, smart b, hussle, teamwork, etc on this foundation...

Those stats suck...

Answer this for me without no excuses. How come Rupp only had 75% of their seats filled tonight? Look at pictures on Twitter. I might be overboard saying 75%...

How about this stat line from the game just finished:
Gabriel: 23 min, 3-13 shooting, 13 rebs, 3 asts, O TOs, 3 blks, 1 stl, 3 pf, and 7 points.
3-13 shooting impressive(joking), 13 rebs against an undersize opponent eh okay, 3 blks pretty good

Remember that the Wall/Cousins team barely beat Miami (OH) at home 72-70 when they started in 2009-2010. I'm not going to freak out yet.

After they woke up they outscored Utah Valley by 19 points in the second half. Not bad. They’ll keep improving and when they get Vanderbilt back it’s going to get better and better every game.

Hope Cal destroys these guys after this game. Really pitiful performance.
Man you are pathetic!
3-13 shooting impressive(joking), 13 rebs against an undersize opponent eh okay, 3 blks pretty good
undersized?? 7’1 and 6’11”
Man just STFU and GTFO!! You already said you had an anti Cal agenda and you damn sure are no fan to quit on a team like this.

3" advantage is not undersized; okay... Not to mention size. Not to mention reach... Like I said this is why Kentucky Fans hate Kentucky basketball fans.

Maybe you should find a new program or go back to the Tards whichever is appropriate.

Screw the tards. I been a Cats BB fan since the day I popped out of my momma and ended when Calipari stepped foot on Kentucky soil... Thousands of Kentucky fans feel the same way reason why Rupp had horrible attendance tonight... Programs like Kentucky are the reason college basketball is a dying game... I remember you could remember all the players names, now its a program that we watch players practice on for NBA next year... But okay bud.

So you aren’t a KY fan now by your own admission. Just exactly what I thought. As to attendance, you are barking. Go look at the attendance figures, we are tops most years and second when not.

So take your Tard, iU, Puke or whatever pissant team you support and whine about Cal to your own fans.

I'm a Die Hard cats fan other than basketball... Comparing the attendance to Kentucky vs others is hugely bias btw.

So you aren’t a Cats fan. That pretty much makes you irrelevant and a troll.

Comparing numbers is bias? Do you even understand what the word means? Picking one game to cry over attendance is utter nonsense. Attendance was still 20K, give or take, on a slow night. Most likely much higher than your little pissant team.

Dude, you are babbling.

Thank you for showing why True Kentucky fans hate Kentucky Basketball Fans....

LOL! So you are a “true” fan that abandoned his basketball team. There is a word for that.

TRAITOR. Don’t think many Cats fans will have much use for you.

I still think you and your 50 posts stink of Tard. Upset over Jurich and Fangtino?
