February 3, 201610 yr Kentucky looked like a drained team tonight. That's no excuse but they faded quickly. 4 points off the bench; 2 for Lee' date=' 2 for Skal. That's it. 4 points Kentucky was out-rebounded by a team with no big men. That can't happen. Jamal Murray can't play defense. Tennessee was 30-34 free throws; they scored +12 points at the line They have no excuse. This is a terrible loss and the Wildcats are staring a 5-8 seed right in the eyes.[/quote'] That's a lot of excuses for not having an excuse... :idunno: No...that's a lot of facts and statistics. Spin it however will make you sleep better tonight... :lol2: You guys still think this is an Elite 8 team? :lol2: If it's not an excuse' date=' stop using it as one. :thumb:[/quote'] Yes So they're drained after 2 days off after a regular season game, but playing to their potential after having only 1 day off between NCAA Tournament games won't be a problem? Makes perfect sense. :lol2:
February 3, 201610 yr You guys still think this is an Elite 8 team? :lol2: To be fair, the team two years ago went into the NCAA tournament at something like a 45-1 chance to win it all, and they damned near did it. I'm not ruling anything out. Not this season, especially.
February 3, 201610 yr At least I have the basketballs to post it publicly. Luckily, the season doesn't end the first weekend in February.
February 3, 201610 yr To be fair, the team two years ago went into the NCAA tournament at something like a 45-1 chance to win it all, and they damned near did it. I'm not ruling anything out. Not this season, especially. Exactly! With no great teams this year, it really is wide open.
February 3, 201610 yr So they're drained after 2 days off after a regular season game, but playing to their potential after having only 1 day off between NCAA Tournament games won't be a problem? Makes perfect sense. :lol2: Major difference between playing a true road game at Allen Fieldhouse and playing a game vs. Purdue in St. Louis.
February 3, 201610 yr UK haters are lovin this. Can't be great every year. If UK gets hot at the right time they'll be fine. Will be very surprised to see another Final Four though. Still great to be a Cat fan though. While I guess I'm classified as a UK hater, we both know this season is a wash. I would be extremely satisfied with a Sweet 16. I know it wont happen, and when we see that early round exit, we can start looking forward to next year.
February 3, 201610 yr Author I'm sure the selection committee will come to their senses and realize that UK owns U of L in hoops and it will be fine. Death, taxes, and Cal beating Pitino. Good thing that's not a factor in the rankings or tournament seeds. We'd be in trouble!
February 3, 201610 yr Author Major difference between playing a true road game at Allen Fieldhouse and playing a game vs. Purdue in St. Louis. Last I checked it took more than one game to make it to an Elite 8.
February 3, 201610 yr To be fair, the team two years ago went into the NCAA tournament at something like a 45-1 chance to win it all, and they damned near did it. I'm not ruling anything out. Not this season, especially. Wouldnt surprise me to see em make the Elite 8 or get knocked out in the round of 64. I just don't think of them, much like Duke, as a team that can go deep into the tourney.

But outside of Duke and arguably UConn no one would pass up a trade of the past 7 years of success UK has had. This is a bad year, but like the NIT team, hard to rebuild from a monster team the year before.
February 3, 201610 yr Major difference between playing a 3rd round NCAA tourney team and Tennessee. There won't be any 3rd round NCAA tourney road games.
February 3, 201610 yr I guess Tennessee > Kentucky > Kansas > Louisville... :lol2: Does this mean Tennessee can beat the 76ers?
February 3, 201610 yr True. But outside of Duke and arguably UConn no one would pass up a trade of the past 7 years of success UK has had. This is a bad year, but like the NIT team, hard to rebuild from a monster team the year before. Same boat. Just gotta take what you have this year and move on..
February 3, 201610 yr Everyone knows there are still two months to go before the season is over, right?
