Relax about the double bye.
- Thread starter ukcat27
- Start date
So this is the shape the program is in?
Hoping team A beats team B so the Cats can get a double bye.
Pathetic situation.
We get what we deserve, have to take care of business at home and didn't do it so here we are are depending on someone else...sad
I agree and pathetic is too kind a word for the state of this program. This is Kentucky Basketball and it once meant something. Not so anymore.
Why worry about anything other than the coach and state of the program? This team is going nowhere. We are more the team you saw last night than the team that beat Auburn.
Kentucky basketball should never have to rely on auburn to get something done for them, especially a double bye in the SEC. Kentucky should be able to do that on their own, but the standards have dropped so much people will celebrate it either way

Celebrate mediocrity
probably doesn’t really matter to be honest. I was ready to go after the Auburn game, but damn last night really put a damper on my hype. They were atrocious. Seems just too many issues to overcome. I still maintain that at some point after the season is over we will begin to hear tidbits of info about real problems that exist with this group off the court that bleed into performance. Some of these dudes just don’t get along. Probably a few different ways.
I see you have fully embraced the lowered expectations
Funny you mentioned drama queens....definitely your field
The program led by John Calipari may be alive but it is far from well. It is a shell of the program it should be. Crowds and loud noises are not the only measurement of a strong program. Won - loss record is a measurement. UK is an also ran program today.
Absolutely. Take care of your own business then let the chips fall where they may. Can’t control what other teams do or don’t do.
The same Auburn team nearly knocked off Bama last night.
Look they aren't great, but let's not diminish our wins. We seem to do that quite often on this board.

It ain’t packed and it ain’t loud compared to what it used to be. Stop covering for Cal and the shambles this program is in
Looks like Auburn will be about a 3 point underdog this Saturday.
So underdog but it's not out of the realm of possibility they win.

Cow has a portion of our fanbase celebrating entries into Top 25 rankings and potential 6 seeds (if the stars align) in the NCAA tourney..."gold standard" my ***
Injuries will come out for sure, like Wallace and reeves playing through something
If we don’t get the double bye, Cal and the guys only have themselves to blame. Beat South Carolina and Vandy at home and the double bye is locked up.
The point wasn’t the double bye.
It was to be in the bottom half of bracket, avoiding Bama until the Finals vs. Semifinals.
Could’ve had a Vanderbilt, A&M, Bama run.
Now probably will get OleMiss/USC, UT, Bama, A&M. Quite the difference in gauntlet.
Still can get 3seed with W Saturday, but what are the odds on that with a banged up Wallace? Slim to none.

This tired, soft, maybe injured and uninspired team ain't winning 3 games in the SEC tournament, let alone 4.
Hard to see a team who hasn't won more than 4 games in a row all season going on a run. We can hope all we want. It's just not likely. That doesn't mean every single one of us doesn't want UK to win the title. Using Coach Cal's own words I'd call this "demonstrated performance" logic. Last year's team did it twice and lost in the first game.
And would absolutely give us the most difficult path to the title. UT in GM 1, Bama G2, TAMU GM3
It won’t matter bc we would crap the bed Friday afternoon or get routed by Bama Saturday so Cal could get home and cuddle his dogs.
The man developed a terribly poor roster from a depth standpoint, a key backup has essentially quit on the team, and we have an injured starting PG. This is all before not having quality enough depth to begin with… to play and win three days in a row.
It doesn’t matter what seed we are, bc once again Cal mailed it in and we aren’t built to win it

Guarantee we will hear a ton of drama about Wheeler. Really wish he would’ve left after last season and we could’ve gotten a real scoring PG. one that’s not 5’6” and 250.
Seems to be a damn plague these days. It’s acceptable everywhere and hell even encouraged.
“It’s on to be average….”
No. It’s not. Unless that’s you highest goal but damn I’m tired of settling.
Honestly I never thought I'd see the day UK fans would settle for mediocre basketball.Not all of us do or will ever settle for it.I just don't get the cult with Calipari.I mean what he did the first half of his tenure was great but somewhere after that lofty contract he just became content and sarcastic.Its time for change,Calipari isn't the only coach that can succeed at UK.His time here is done,let's move on.
Might be better to be in top half of bracket…we’ll spend all our energy for (hopefully) another Quad 1 win against Tennessee then we can throw the Alabama game. Sit Reeves, Wallace, Oscar, etc. so the committee won’t hold that beatdown against us. Can’t believe Cal has done this to me. He’s killed my heart.
