that is so true. whenever you got a team that’s lost 8 in a row the announcers usually root for you and the refs don’t target. not kentucky
lol he also made the comment that he didn't know how Vegas could have us as a 2 point favorite today and it seems like Vegas is spot on again
Alright, baby!
This reminds me a lot of the 2019 Elite Eight classic ... except both teams are horrible.
But we won! Winning is definitively better than losing.

Hey! We won! I think were all happy about that..
.. well, most of us.
.. well, most of us.
Well considering Kentucky keeps being favored and is 5-13. Must be like 3-15 vs spread this year.
Told ya this would be a “cats win”.
Bruce has done a really poor job with this team. Really poor.

Well we did have a good offensive performance tho that's sorta misleading. Auburn plays at a fast pace. Faster pace = more points even with a crappy offense lol
BAN. Mods, please ban.
I thought they were going to blow another one. Auburns entire comeback was due to us not covering Thor and 2 or 3 absolutely terrible calls by the refs for offensive fouls on us.
And finally a win. Still a really bad season but you take what you can get out of it.
What a dumb dumb DUMB strategy by Pearl , you have to miss that 3rd FT ??
You can’t tell me these refs don’t bet on these games or have personal agendas. That was the most pathetic game ending call I’ve seen, even worse that the last game at the end.

Vegas is pretty good at what they do. They don't just look at record and conclude Team A is better than Team B.
Auburn has a better record that us but Kenpom has us at 61 and them at 59. So the two teams despite the difference in record are essentially the same. Factor in the home court and UK is a 2 point favorite.
Agree. With 1 second left, even if you got the steal could you get a shot off?
