This loss is acceptable

The second one is the thing I can't figure out about cal. He likes to slow things down for some reason when we should be pushing it and running the other team out.

He almost lost the 2012 game because he slowed it down. Should have run Kansas completely out of the gym.

Don’t forget Wisconsin if we would’ve dictated the pace in that game we would’ve ran them out of the gym too. The grand master Cal played right into their hand too and that’s why we lost that game too!

If Sharpe can’t play, why is he here? Didn’t know we were running a basketball camp.

This isn’t —

WHAT. A. JOKE.

I actually feel better about this team (with everyone healthy) after the game than before.

I was expecting them to beat us at their place. The second ranked team in the nation is suppose to win their home games.

But we had them beat before the injury to Washington.

So, I am feeling pretty good right now as long as we get Wheeler and Washington back.

I NEVER "expect" UK to LOSE a game!!! I don't care how high they are ranked!!! We are FREAKIN UK BASKETBALL!!

I am SICK of Bruce Pearl beating us in big games!!!! Cal needs to do something about it!!!

Pearl beat UK in the 2019 Elite 8 without his best player. NO EXCUSES!!

I can't stand Bruce Pearl and I HATE losing to him!!!

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.

Cry more

Kinda hard to do when our PG is 5'8 and doesn't even come up to the shoulder of Kessler and the guy from LSU Hard whacks to SW's head and chest area. When Pearl had calls close to his bench, he made a few calls for the officals.. Don't like him at all..The quickest way to turn me from the Cats would be to hire him as coach. I'd quit in a NY minute.. Disappointed but not giving up.

Who did we lose for most of the second half? Wheeler played 36 minutes.

We also lost an outstanding guard in CJ

True...wish he was available. Hated to see him go down pre-season.

 

[Runt#1969]

Losing CJ preseason has been a gut punch to the very heart and soul of this team from the get go.

I am SO VERY PROUD of how they have all come together from the beginning thhough, to be our team in the now.

we're fine ... let's get healthy quickly, then next up, Miss. St.
