Final. We are just too soft when they play an aggressive hard nose team. 

Oh, the irony.

I feel like I got punched in the stomach, three times. 

Horrific. A terrible loss for the team, a catastrophic loss for the fans who have been talking a whole lot of trash about Cal and Arkansas.  Not really anything good to say about it.

The defense struggled, as they often do.  You have to tip your cap to Arkansas - they had wide open looks and they knocked them down.

I mean, it was a bad day for both of the big boys.  But..... yeah, one of them having a much, much worse day.

This is a CATASTROPHIC loss for Mark Pope.

Arkansas has a better roster and a more seasoned coach and it showed up on the big stage. 

I am happy for Cal… UK fans have been unbearable during all this.

I love Pope and I love the energy. It was time for Cal To do what he did but…

I agree and many UK fans made it that way for him. Outside of the Louisville game, this is the only full game of UK I watched. They didn’t match the intensity of Arkansas, that was clear.

UK had two coaches who won them titles and then inevitably ran off in the building tonight and the most recent one beat them going away. Absolute cinema.

Pope is struggling on how to get some defense out of this roster. I think at this point in the season he needs to play the offensive players and try to outscore teams. The better defensive players just can't produce enough offense.
