If you know me I rarely if ever say that. Lose your best player, then point guard for most of 2nd half and be totally hosed by officials besides playing the most cheating coach in the nation. UK will road race them them on a level playing field. Auburn is good but bit great. Also someone needs to put an elbow in Kesslers face.
This loss is acceptable

A loss is a loss... but yes this one feels understandable all things considered.
No it’s not.
we are Kentucky.
no losses are ever “acceptable”

This thread won't go well, but I agree.
Don’t be soft, losses are never acceptable. If you want to commend the guys for playing hard great but never go soft and accept losing as ok. If your ok with losing maybe you should buy an IU shirt. 
I loved the way we played. Hope we see them again. They got one coming to them
You
obviously haven’t read my post the last 20 years.Don’t be soft, losses are never acceptable. If you want to commend the guys for playing hard great but never go soft and accept losing as ok. If your ok with losing maybe you should buy an IU shirt.
Sucks but for a minute it looked like a 20 point loss in the making. Like how they battled short handed.
Race is on a level playing field lol. Where did the refs give auburn the game? Your big guy is soft great but soft. Does not go up and get fouls. Fells good to be number 1
I think LSU was and I think this is too. We are better than auburn on a neutral floor and healthy
I know some here will complain about this loss, but when healthy, we are the the better team.
This loss MIGHT be acceptable if we had been normal Kentucky for the past few years. But, we haven't been and can't beat our rivals or top 25 opponents. Might be acceptable to some but personally I am tired of losing to top 25 teams and not dominating the conference anymore.
Well since you have to live in the shadow of Bama football I guess so.
The moment you accept losing it becomes a way of life.
We are the better team and probably win this game with a full roster.
I hate when we lose, but this one doesn’t sting as badly as usual.

This is as good as I can feel in a loss.
I just don't want anyone coming away injured from these events, is my mindset going into each and every one of them.
And it happens WAYYY to frequently to be a coincidence to anything incidental to the normal flow of the actual game .....
interesting.
Maybe we should add to the keys in "How to beat THIS Kentucky team " :
In concert with the officiating, allow home players to hack, grab, slap, and otherwise play so that a Kentucky player will get injured, or maybe even 2 of them. More the merrier !
or
No corpse, no foul rule has been issued for any Kentucky road game
(as a point of emphasis to be reviewed courtside with each coach)

I agree. On a neutral court, a healthy team and
fair referees we beat them by 8 or 10 points.
Feels good to be #1
Shows you the difference in Kentucky basketball and Auburn. We feel good when we win national championship
enjoy it. we have been number one for 103 weeks all time.
I am Cal’s biggest critic but having coached it is tough to lose your two best guards and still compete. Take Kessler and Smith away from Auburn….different result
Yeah one of the reasons a segment of our fan base is considered one of the dumbest fan bases in America. This is meant for the other poster.
This year's team has no margin for error and without tyty they are a nit team.
Losing Ty hurt but I expected Auburn to win this one.I liked that we battled thru.We just missed to many shots.Auburn is good but I'd love to get them again in the SEC tourney on a neutral court....but it's good to know that the SEC cant **** us next year as Pearl and company MUST come to Rupp and we dont have to do a return.
But Auburn has NEVER been #1. It’s understandable to be excited. Good game Cats. Playing only 7 deep was an issue in the 2nd half with Washington out. Hopefully, we can play y’all healthy on a neutral in the SEC tourney so you can prove that y’all are better. We will run our 11 against that 7.
If UK made it to #1 in football, I would certainly understand the excitement from that fanbase.
