OGT-Kentucky @ Florida 3/5/2022 2:00 CBS

Lots of ball left to play. Anxious to see how we handle the first 4 minutes of the second half. I respect Florida and I know they can get hot.

 

—
While they have tons of talent, Kentucky is only 4-4 in SEC road games. They are beatable.

 

We practice in our practice facility. Not sure how often the practice in the O Dome.

 

I think it’s more about the stupid mistakes (turnovers, awful shot selection, break down on defense) than it is about Kentucky being that much better. The fact that Florida looks good for chunks of the game then looks equally as bad shows lack of maturity and focus.

 

Yes and it is inexplicable when you have veteran players and a slow pace of play. I just keep telling myself that this experience is close to an end so keep hanging in there.

 

It might, but down 10 at half you only really get one chance to come back in the second half. Have to go on a run, not surrender a run, and win the final minutes. Tough to get all of those against a team like Kentucky.

 

You do but lot of Kentucky fans don't.

 

I don’t see it in the cards for the Gators today. Too many poor shots and combined with a soft defense doesn’t bode well for a win.

 

It's hard to play a perfect game. Every team makes mistakes. Kentucky has such talented players they convert on probably 3/4 of your mistakes. Maybe more. Losing focus is on coaching (IMO).

 

Random Side note. How is LSU a 6 seed? They have lost like 9 of 16 and haven't beaten a ranked team until beating 25 today right?

 

28-38 on a great interior pass to CC.

Now AJ to the line for 2 . . .

 

29-38

 

Very smart timeout by Calipari.

 

I love this group of players. So resilient, they always have a comeback in them.

 

31-38 and a timeout by Kentucky with 18:41 left . . .

 

Down by 7 with 18 minutes to play....not much time to make up that much of a deficit!

 

Nice start..playing like the team we know they can

 

Castleton now leading all scorers in the game with 13.

 

Sadl6 yes because we was about to push it
