Toughest defense in the country had nothing to do with those last two turnovers. That was just garbage basketball.

Yep, he got flustered and made a bad pass. It happens, but damn it sucks. This was a winnable game even with all of the adversity.
We efffing lost a road game in the toughest conference. Without our PG.
Shut happens.
Easy when every clearly missed call went LSUs way and we lose our two best ball handlers. We are gonna skull drag these fks 2/23 at Rupp.
On the road vs a top 25 team.
Down BOTH Point guards.
Oscar missed a lot of the 1st half due to Foul trouble.
We cut the lead from 8 to 1, stole the ball, had a chance to steal the game late. We've got a lot of fight.

It happens all the time to Cal on the road. We've seen this script before.
Two when Tyty went out.
Not surprisingly that's when they went on their big run.
They are top 10 in D1 in forcing turnovers and knew we were without our two primary ball handlers.
This team is fools gold. Played a bunch of nobodies the last four games.
I CANT WAIT until Cal’s fat *** is gone. Even a half decent coach wins that game. Him and his stupid *** 3 big lineup can piss off.

Yeahhhh....after throwing it away and dropping to 3 back, a timeout to settle them down seemed in order. But what do I know. Maybe Cal didn’t think we’d get the ball up the court.
No Wheeler, no Ty Ty alot of 2nd half, Oscar misses most of 1st half and BROOKS didn't show up at all!! and we barely lose.
So sick of listening to idiot espn mouthpieces cream their pants watching UK lose while a couple thousand football fans pretend to care about basket all for the alloted 2 hours per year.
Stop. *******. Losing. Cal.
Stop. *******. Losing. Cal.
Hindsight is 20/20. If he picked up his 3rd foul in the first half, you'd be complaining about that.
There's a lot to knock Cal on, but that's not one of them IMO.
Obviously not having Wheeler pretty much the entire game hurt us. Washington not so much because he wasn’t doing anything anyway. You can point to a lot of things but if we made free throws we’d be sitting on a win. There’s just no excuse for that.
0 points from a 10 point scorer and 5 points from a 14 point scorer. On the road. Against a ranked LSU who plays good defense. Really shouldnt have been in the game in the first half. YET, it comes down to the final 30 seconds.
Cant fault the effort. Those guys who finished the game left it out on the court. Considering the injuries you can't ask for much more than that.

Lots of moral victory posts in this thread.
No wonder some of you fellas never tuned out last season. Must be nice having no expectation to actually win a basketball game on the road against a decent team.

Dude. We lost out damn PG. we lost TyTy. Lots of coaches would’ve lost tonight.
I'm okay with not calling the timeout there.
Great hustle by Oscar to get to that ball before the LSU guy. Just got overexcited and made a bad pass.

We have to setup a play to at least get off a shot to tie it. Not easy missing our 2 best guards but that's what was necessary.
Washington was out for like 5 minutes, we had a 9 point lead in the second half, like an hour after Wheeler left the game.
No Wheeler, No Tyty = No win. If you don't have a floor general, you're screwed (I know that's obvious, but hopefully they're ok and will be good to go later). It sucks that we lost BOTH in the same game. Eff that 22-5 run though.
I don't know about that. They went on their massive run when Tyty was out.
Just by being an able body to bring the ball up the court, Tyty was doing something.
I had expectations to win. I’m also a realist. Winning a Top 25 road game is hard as hell without your top Pg.
I don't know how any could watch this game and conclude that not having Wheeler and Tyty wasn't the big reason they went on their run and we lost.
We had no reliable ballhandler. We struggled to not turn the ball over before getting it past half court at that rate.

Couldn’t say for a fact but it looked like Cal was urging Mintz into the front court to call timeout when he lost control.
Yeah...I'm just pissed now, it is just freaking annoying. All of it. Injuries, free throws, refs...
Get Sharpe ready and make him the 4.
Go balls out for rest of year.
Cal just said he screamed time out to the ref. But he didn't give him one.
Yeah like winning four starlight games by 25+. Know who was runnning point during that? WHEELER.
Use some logic please.
Oscar got beat all night on pick and roll. Gave up a few 3's not closing out. Still he gives it everything he has and is just a great kid. We're not even a tournament team without him.
Lol but we didn't score in like a 9 min stretch. We had issues even getting into our offense without turning it over. At least Tyty wasn't turning it over and giving us a chance to at least get a shot off.
Typical. We had everything thrown at us tonight and still about pulled it out.
Cal is telling the media that Lindsay didn't hear him when he was screaming for the timeout. Typical of this night.
On another note it always seems like whenever LSU and UK play recently, something wild happens lol.
