Usually this would be a good learning opportunity, since for a new team playing against this style the first time can be tough. However, with how bad of a start UK had to this year. UK doesn’t have the luxury to have anymore learning experiences in losses. The slight room for error UK had for this year, just for a little smaller with this type of lost. Their only recourse to get in the tournament at this point is to either win out or win the SEC tournament. I guess we'll see if your mantra that you repeat ad nauseam of Calipari always having them playing their best in March is true-- because that's the only way they're getting in.

It may be true this year, but it may not be good enough. Last night was a step-back, no doubt, but I don't believe UK is as bad as they showed last night, nor as good as what we saw at Florida.
January 13, 20215 yr I wasn't a fan of putting Brooks in the starting lineup. Not yet at least. Jackson can be a tone setter for the team and I like his energy to kick start the team.
January 13, 20215 yr 1 hour ago, TheDeuce said: Play zone. Completely agree and stated such. But we weren't talking about the best way to defend them when you quoted me. We were talking about how nikeman49 stated that "athletes can always defend" and I think that's far from true.

Well that mantra has been true every year They were making positive steps towards that this year, last night was a step back though. I said before they started SEC play that they had very little room error the rest of the year. Then I repeated that again. I don’t think they have to win out in the SEC, I think losing only 3 or 4 would still work and could possibly win the conference with that. Which to do that, they are going to have to collect some wins against a Bama in the rematch, Tennessee, LSU, etc. Which they better play much better than last night, or else it won’t matter.

Just curious for conversation sake, what's the least amount of fans Pitino, Tubby or BG's teams played in front of at Rupp?
