I'll bet anyone on this board (uk/ku fans) any amount of money that Kentucky goes deeper in the tournament than Kansas. At home, 4 players foul out and 20 free throws in over time and you squeak out at 6 point win. Haha.
***********UK vs KU********** game thread
- Thread starter hotelblue
- Start date
Put Kansas at the top of the list of teams I want to now see on a neutral court in March
I don't think Cal slowed the offense down guys, I just think KU made the right adjustments and took Ulis out. If Ulis doesn't have room to operate UK is nowhere near as efficient.
Proud of this team though, if this game was played anywhere else UK wins easily.
I can't believe the free throw discrepancy. We really weren't allowed to play defense, once we got into foul trouble we were screwed. KU never got to that point. I'll leave it at that.

When you have a guy who shoots 30% from the stripe driving the ball in OT you're screwed.
I'm surprised they didn't just foul him when he crossed half court.

That's what Cal has said all year, yet there he was in a late game situation driving the ball repeatedly and getting fouled.
If we get the chance, we will beat both of those teams on a neutral site in March. Say what you want, but I think that the road and the way the game is called very much has an impact on the outcome.
we never got into the bonus, even in OT
That being said - it was NOT officiating' we had our chances to win in regulation
Willis had some open threes that did not drop - several other players missed some should've been gimmes
I have no idea why people think Cal slowed things down.
KU changed their D and it had a major effect on our offense.

Nope I was upset when Self made adjustments and took that approach completely away and yet Cal still tried pounding a square peg in a round hole.
If you haven't noticed yet, he's stubborn to a fault and does not walk on water.
See Wisconsin last year for an even worse and infamous example.
Wrong. It's funny how we can play D without fouling 4 guys out everywhere else but not at KU. This game wasn't called the same on both ends and it dam sure wasn't called in the second half the way it was called in the first.
Good game cats, finish off conference play strong.
Stupidest post in a history of stupid posts. Simply put for a simple human, they are completely blown out in regulation minus Ulis. Annihilated!
True. But, better than 2-1 free throw disparity didn't help either. Add to that, Cal going conservative and you get a L.
This, class, is called confirmation bias. It's for simpletons. It produces the kind of people who genuinely don't see the pattern when they insist year after year that the backup QB is the best on the team.
If no matter how well your guy performs, you're always looking at the mistakes and announcing that (insert alternative method here) is clearly superior, you are a simpleton.
It's amazing how many goldfish-*** people we have who don't understand Cal's monsterous record in close games and only remember the relatively few Ls.
obviously "we" didn't watch the game - at least that's what I was told
I know who you're talking about
Regardless - I am proud of our Cats. I think they have turned a corner and will finish out the season well
The refs may not be the blame but they totally changed the game after the no call on Ullis being mugged and then giving mason that three.
Kansas fouled like crazy in first half. So, you think it's on the up and up they could all of a sudden guard in the 2nd half. They've been a terrible defensive team just about all season. They won that Oklahoma game the same way they did this one. 8 on 5.
You might have a case if it was specific to this game. But we've had this issue all year long.
When does it not become about the refs and becomes hey these guys can't play D without fouling. Lee, Poy, Skal.......they are fouling machines. It doesn't seem to matter who the refs are
Proud of our guys. We made some mistakes but the effort was there. The officiating was not friendly toward us, but we knew it wouldn't be.
if we had all of our players i think the outcome would be different. Kansas wasn't catching do that Kansas switch defense us without free throws. Plus to the morons blaming our coach for slowing it down, he didn't slow it down they switched defenses, and we had less players in there so they cramped down on the players of ours who were playing decent Murry and Ullis.
Kansas switched to that zone and took Murray and Ulis out. The other three defenders could pack the paint because we had nobody capable of hitting a jumper. Willis foul trouble/fouling out hurt us here.
I guess this will give them a reason to drop us from the Top 25 next week.
