For the life of me I will never understand why Kentucky can not just put a team away. You have a 10 - 11 point lead with 5 minutes left and let it come down to a nail biter at the end.

Totally agree. Kentucky just doesn't have that star that can close out a game. They also do not have the "it" factor where they look to destroy opponents. It is a roster full of talented, role player basketball players outside of Oweh. I don't think Pope can land top end talent. I don't think he has it in him.

There is always Hope and Next Year. ?‍♂️

13.7 and the refs are looking at a UK foul. 

86-79

Every win is a bonus. That's the way I am looking at this team now.

86-80 with 12 seconds left at UK at the line for a double bonus.

Not a knock at all, but that tells me everything I need to know about Mark Pope as the head coach at Kentucky. This time of year, every year, there should be expectations for Kentucky, you know?

I don't disagree with you and I am think I am speaking for VoR here too that this year's KY team is what it is, we will take whatever wins we can get, and cross our fingers and hope that next year brings a top ten team.

We're winning the National Championship.
