Brining is the old threads was to poke fun at th extremists who melted down and said we were nit bound/ we should fire Ca

We can't **** the bed against refs like this. All the positives in that game were also negatives. Pj fouling out their whole team, but not making free throws. Not calling any reach-ins but trying to drive 1vs 3. It seemed to me like pj tied the ball up after quade barfed the ball toward(ish) the rim. All this while listening to Christmas Webber openly root against us for the entire game. I've had fever dreams that we're less miserable.

I just wanna know why Shai was taking the last shot. I don't give a **** about how the rest of the game was coached. I just want to know if that is what Cal drew up or not. Doesn't seem like it but wtf do I know.

You forget where we are. Had we made the Final Four and lost? I'd have agreed. We just crapped the bed in the weakest region of all time. Fans will NOT be happy.
I know fans arn't but its not like we just lost with the 96 bulls.

Alexander lack of just taking the ball to the basket and drawing fouls killed us and of course Washington free throws. I wanted this bad but damn I love my Kentucky Wildcats!!!!

True. But that doesn't matter. We're UK and when you have that wide of a gate? You better drive through it.

If we don't sniff the Final Four next year? Cal's going to catch a lot of heat, and I can't say he won't deserve it.

Cal is washed up. He was the OAD coach, but now those players are going to the highest bidders. OAD doesn't work without transcendent talent. We had a bunch of soft kids who balled on average a half or two out of every four games. Sleep walking their way through the rest. Cal's system sucks and the game has passed it by.

Looked like we were running a little fade screen action to try to get Knox a shot. But the covered it and Shai had to try to make something happen.

I've been a big Calipari defender but my patience is starting to wear thin. Yes, we were a young team but who's fault is that? We can still go for OAD but we need other players that are going to stay longer. That was the recipe for the success of teams in his early tenure but as we go on and the juniors and seniors aren't there we're going to get more of what we are seeing.

One of the worst days of the year is when we lose in the tournament. This is no exception.

We don’t need a bunch of these guys to come back next year. They can’t shoot period. And that ain’t gonna change over the off season. We need players that can shoot. Let em all leave. The college game will continue to struggle until they do something about this one year crap. Let em go straight out of HS if they want to. And if you really wanna help college, get rid of AAU ball. I’m disappointed but happy we made it this far. Because I sure didn’t see us in the sweet 16.

for the first time ever, I do NOT want to hear what Cal has to say. This is absolutely THE most pathetic display of ineptitude in the history of UK basketball. This game should not have even been close. Not ONE of these kids is ready for the next level and they need to be told that straight up. If you can't win a game like this, you shouldn't wear a uniform.

We lost with a team that should in a perfect world ALL be back next season. Nobody was special. And it's a huge mistake if Cal dosent try to stop them from going. But we all know thats not happening because Cal forces every player to put their name in the draft. We need everyone back as a program to be any count next year.

Well....
A John Calipari team losing a tournent game because of free throws isn't exactly anything new.
Team was pretty much an NIT one and gone a few weeks ago. Turned into an SEC tourney title and a slot in the sweet 16.
Not bad for a bunch kids that were thinking about senior prom a year ago.

It was supposed to be Arizona or Virginia anyway. Just wasn't

On to baseball, then see what football has.
This bizarre, gut wrenching season is FINALLY at an end. Game too early, but it is the madness.

Now to the draft board. Knox, Hami, SGA and who else?

It sucks bad time to have an off night. Nothing went right all night. Just hope a few guys realize they have some work to do after this game and return.

The excuse of “We’re young” is old because that’s what he goes after. You can’t intentionally seek out the one and done stuff and then complain that your team is young and you have no vets.

One and done crap does not work if you have no veteran contributors or out of this world freshmen. We had neither this year.

I don't want these guys back next year. Yes, I know they are freshmen, blah, blah, blah, but even freshmen should have won this game. When they act like they don't care half the time, how will that change over the summer? They are too busy thinking about their draft stock. The easiest path to the championship game and they blew it. I know I am just mad and am blowing off right now, but I can't help it...I am just disgusted.
