Final. The Cats were outscored 15-2 the last 4:30 with the only basket by of all people Garrison. That was some of worst basketball I have seen in a very long time that last 4 minutes. The Cats are now 9-6. As @sportsfan41 posted in the update thread this team will be lucky to make the NCAA Tournament looking like NIT.
 

 

That was a hard second half to watch.

Second half?  It's all bad. They suck.

But they hit that three at the buzzer to pull within one at the half, lol. 

Lowe and Quaintance might as well shut it down and work on getting healthy. This season is a waste.

And yet they were still losing at the half. I can't celebrate a losing effort, at all. 

Ugh. We have Ky boys on the team, a former UK player as a coach. No freshman one and dones. Basically all things people said they wanted, and I must say this has been one of the least enjoyable teams to watch so far since the Covid year team. 
 

This is a poorly constructed roster, that don’t seem to mesh well, and a coach that seems lost at times on even how to sub players. Just not a good team, and doesn’t seem to be getting better even though they are getting healthier. 
 

That last minute of the game was one of the ugliest minutes of basketball by both the coach and the players.

I am trying to find a positive, anything?

The only thing positive about this team and the game tonight, is that the ice cream in Rupp I’m sure was as great as always! UK basketball may not be the gold standard anymore, but Rupp Arena ice cream is still the best!

We are about half way through the season. So, not a lot longer we have to watch them continue to fail. 

Bad week for the Commonwealth.  UK and UL both drop back to back games.   Don't think anyone saw that happening back in early October.

One of the things I noticed watching the game, was that the players don't seem to enjoy playing with each other. Seemed to be jawing amongst themselves. Certainly not a cohesive group of players. 

Listened to the last minute on the radio and Tom Leach sounded defeated. Didn’t even raise his voice one bit. All Jack could do was just mumble. Glad I had other obligations.
