    Close loses to good teams is a standard this year. Bobby knight if he would have called this game might have thrown a chair at our coach to wake up, get involved with the Zebras. It continues to be dejavue!

    Richard going 0-8, 0-7 shooting 3's was a big factor, too.

    I have the feeling the matchup was too much for him. Uncharacteristic for Will, he will be back.

    We continue to be the only team to get “homed” on our own home court.

    Why are we so blessed to play UK twice every year but others don’t play them

    It gives us TWO opportunities for Quad 1 wins, in addition to the others.

    I know....doesn't seem fair to the other teams, I guess........:emoji_shrug:

    It is because Florida has three permanent opponents which they play twice a year which are UK, UGA, and Vandy. Now I will say when Texas and Oklahoma join that could mess that rotation up. Hope you are doing well!

    At the least it is easier than Kentucky's permanent opponents of Florida, Tennessee and Vandy.

    I do hope that the SEC drops the east/west setup and comes up with a viable schedule that does not favor certain teams.

    I always mute TV, usually right away, and listen to Sean and Hump.

    But I listened a bit and the broadcast looked and sounded like UK Sports Network.

    It just shows how far we slipped in the Mike White error.

    Personally I think UK is a top 4 team, they are very talented and I say this as not a uk fan at all. My point is, a play here or there and we would have won. I don't see uk losing very many games. But the biggest thing is we are vastly improved from last year. If we can improve on ft's I'm very confident we will make it to the dance.

    15 of those points were at the FT line, so "only" 35 points from FGs

    And 6 or 8 of their ft's we had to foul them.

    Wow, there is not one broadcast person on ESPN or CBS that is a UK connected person. GEEZE.

    How in hell can you say that honestly? Jay Bilas hates Kentucky. Jay is a Dukie.

    Please name me one UK player, coach or any thing else on ESPN or CBS involved with a broadcast. Also, please tell me one UK player, coach or any thing else on SEC Network. GOOD LUCK!

    I think some Gator fans could hear a Mick Hubert/Sean Kelley broadcast team and consider it unbiased and fair. :D
