I don't think we're playing great either, Sure a good portion of this is on us. And KJ going down stalled us for sure.

But if we had the Duke jersey on, it would be 13 fouls to 4 and we'd be up by 10 right now.

Stop focusing on the refs and more about the team man! I think you’re very knowledge but ever post I’ve seen has been about the refs or Duke... we aren’t playing Duke... I’ve only seen 2 calls that I thought could’ve been fouls that went against us...

I honestly rarely post in the game threads and check Twitter moreso to see what everyone's thinking/saying.

Here's just an observation: The people that I've seen posting for years are predominantly in this thread complaining about our $hitty plays.

Then after we eek out a close win, the power of positivity fans post threads telling those fans that they're not real fans for complaining/criticizing anything.

The problem is there is very little in between. It's fine to complain and criticize the team but when it's constant and straight shitting on players game after game credibility is lost. The same is true for the inverse on the more positive side. All rationality is lost and then people complain they're getting attacked. Maybe have a rational thought once in a while, both sides, and you won't get mocked as much.

It's funny (and sad) to me that when we're up, you never see some of these posters. Yet in games like this, here they come, out from under their rocks. Sure, I think the Cats need to be called out when they stink. But not freaking all the time.

BKO, I agree, this site has changed, and taken all the fun out of sharing a UK game with like-minded fans. Sad.

I don't think you understand what it means to call someone out. If I got on Twitter and told Quade Green to improve his passing cuz it sucks--I think that's calling out. And I think that's way too far.

But pointing out the negatives on a message board? I mean, I come here to discuss the team. When we're running everyone by 40, maybe I'll be so full of positivity I can't come up with negatives. When we KEEP THROWING THE BALL TO THE OTHER TEAM...I feel like it's ok to talk about it on a message board. Because the only reason I come to the message board is to talk about things.

In your life--there will be negative things happen. It's ok to discuss them. Not acknowledging them...doesn't make it go away.

If any NBA GM drafts one of our players, he needs his head examined. If they can't cut it against this bunny schedule, the League will eat these guys alive.

I just want the whistle the same on both ends. Consistency. Whatever way you want to call it fine but the same on both ends. That is not happening today.

This team is better than last year, and is progressing faster than that team. However, I believe most games from here on out are going to be a struggle. Road trips in the SEC - scary nights to come.
Based on what? No player on this team is as good as Alexander or Knox. And Knox was up and down.

I think talent wise this is easily Cal's second worst roster at UK. In 2 years they would potentially be a force. We have to hope that everyone develops quickly and having 8 solid players makes a difference.

The more I see of Reid Travis, the less impressed I am. Non existent lift...definitely not a rim protector on defense. Yet, Richards hasn't got off the bench. Strange.

I've NEVER seen a team give up as many 3's as we do. It is truly amazing how well teams shoot against us. Some of them are open looks but not all of them.

We are HORRIBLE at rotating out!!

ESPN ripping our team at half. Saying we aren’t executing offensively or defensively. The best offensive players are the worst defensive players and vice versa. I can’t disagree.

The team we are playing is decent but we be up 10 on this team.

Confused. So you think that they should be called out "when they stink" right? "But not freaking all the time" you say. Are you saying that right now they don't stink?

If they got the OOB call right, we're probably ahead right now. It's not that difficult.

If we don't let them shoot a bunch of wide open 3's we're probably ahead. Also...not that difficult. You can control your defense and effort. You can't control officials. Every game will have some missed calls. You win anyway if you play well enough to win by more than 1-2 points.

I just got back from Brazzers. I fapped twice and gunned two out to take the load off. This means that we will win this game. I suggest some of you uptight mofos do that same! Take the MF load off! Go Cats!

Another Dude we will never hear from again killing it at Rupp.

Can someone let Tyler Herro know that he’s supposed to be getting better and not worse please. He will do 5 things wrong and one thing right. If his first shot doesn’t go in he’s pretty much useless the rest of the gam

He has an NBA career ahead of him.

A balance is fine. Call them out when they stink. Right now they're up against a very good team. But when they do something good, that should be noted too. That's all.

The issue is now, that even bad shooting teams will realize that they will get good looks from deep and so teams will try to shoot more....

You act like they read the board, and we're going to hurt their feelings if we don't say enough nice things about them.

Do we need to get them participation trophies at the end of the season?

Under the basket if we can't dunk it, we can't throw it into the ocean. Unbelievable.
