I'm sick of settling for moral victories. UK is no longer an elite team. That's the bottom line.

 

I agree totally. My father and I were discussing the similarities between UK basketball and Alabama football yesterday. While most of the fans for both are making excuses and trying to qualify their program as top notch, in reality, both UK basketball and Alabama football are simply a top 30 program at best. Changes must be made.

Where have you been the past few years?

Best defense we have played this year. Rebounded the ball well...

Kept Hansbrough in check.

Unfortunately, the Heels hit some 3's.

Absolutely pitiful by turning the ball over. That was the key to the game. Cost ourselves possessions.

The Bradley experiment has to end.

No halfcourt offense except Morris and they didnt get him enough touches.

Never led the entire game...

Crawford had 6 turnovers

 

What do you think LABS? Frusterated? Growing pains? Do you think things will get better?

I have no idea what some of you guys expect from UK. They went on the road, played UNC a very tight game for most of both halves.

 

Two many TO's and inability, to knock down the perimeter jump shot. Defense and rebounding were excellent, effort was there, dribble penetration must improve and Crawford will cut down on his forced TO's.

 

Entirely too many positives in this game, to start the terrible, pathetic comments, that seem to follow from some of you....I'd be embarrassed to claim I was a UK fan, if all I could be was negative.

 

Great effort by UK, much improved in certain areas and assists to turnovers, must improve.

Im telling you now. If Morris keeps this up.. we are in trouble. If he declares for the NBA he's gone regardless of getting drafted. We don't have a replacement. And we find big guys (as you can tell) every solar eclipse.

He looks out of control every time he touches it. I've never seen a player put his head down so much.

I want to see if you can name 30 programs better than UK. If you want to look at current rankings then maybe, but that holds very little water in most people's eyes.

Here is the concept your missing. UK is supposed to be elite right? We have played 3 elite teams.

 

UCLA = L

Memphis = L

UNC = L

Where have you been the past few years?

I will give you last year. Two years ago we were an overtime(really a rebound) away from the Final 4 and three and four years ago we entered the tournament as the top rated team.

Good Effort by UK

 

UK shot 46% from the field

UNC shot 38% from the field

 

UK had 22 TO's (Crawford had 7)

UNC had 9 TO's

I'm tired of hearing it. UK is no longer an elite team and there's not really even an argument.

Your right O.R. That's my problem with the program. Inconsistant and appears to be declining....

Morris DOMINATED TH. Despite the loss, got to love seeing that.

I just meant that in previous years you could count on anyone in the country listing UK among the top five programs in the country. Maybe I should have said top-20. Now recruits often don't even think about Kentucky, and if they do think about it, they choose another school. We're left with several players who would never have worn a UK jerseys 10-20 years ago.
