Still too ticked off to post much but here it is: Cats stunk the place up today, that's all that can be said. Came out lackluster and stayed that way. Poor shooting again, especially in the first 10 minutes or so. I don't know what the rebounding ended up but we were getting killed there also. Choked on FT's down the strech again. Morris needs to wake up and play with more emotion and not "take sets off" or "play Soft". Kentucky was never in this game mentally from start to finish. Very dissapopinting loss. Hopefully Tubby can get some peoples attention and hand out a few "attitude adjustments" and get the Cats ready for LSU on Tuesday. A person can sum the entire teams performnance up in one word.......Sickining!!:irked: Imo no one looked good today.

:thumb: You said it all!!!!

Is it just me or have I heard TV commentators mention several time over the past two years that UK looked uninspired? I specifically remember Vitale last year at Kansas and Joe Dean today.

It's just you.

It's just you.

 

Are you still solidly behind Smith?

Three straight games and three straight slow starts.

Why?

The only thing I can think of is that there is no one pushing Morris, there is no one pushing Bradley. Meeks is there to push Crawford and Crawford has actually really improved.

Therefore, they can give a subpar effort and still get major clock.

 

They are not prepared mentally to play. It shows in their attitude. "Attitude reflects leadership". Right now, OTS has done nothing to inspire them. He continually allows Bradley to make bone-head move after bone-head move. He allows Morris to give effort in spurts. Why? Who else can he turn to? He has made this bed and now he is sleeping in it.

 

He is grasping at straws with lineups. I still cant figure out his sub patterns. In the paper today, he talked about how hard it is to get Harris minutes. Boom, one of the first subs is Harris.

 

They cut the lead to two. Under 8 timeout. He takes out Stevenson who was playing well, he takes out Morris who had been playing better in that run. Boom lead back to 8 before he can get a timeout.

 

It is just very disappointing to watch that type of performance in really a "must win" game.

 

We all knew February was going to be tough back in November. Unfortunately, they have not done anything to show that they have improved.

 

I think OTS made a mistake by not giving Perry Stevenson all the clock in the world during that 7 or 8 game stretch of winnable games after the UK game.

 

It should have been obvious that they are not going anywhere with big time minutes being given to Bobby Perry and Sheray Thomas. Stevenson's development was going to be a real determination of this team's growth. Unfortunately, that didn't/hasn't happened.

 

Today, Alabama was nothing special and actually some of Gottfried's sub patterns and tactics were what allowed UK to make runs. A good team would have flat pummeled UK today.

 

I don't what you can do at this point. Win a game would be nice, but LSU poses enough of a threat to beat you at home.

 

As hard as I have tried to defend OTS it has reached a point to where all fingers are now firmly pointed in his direction.

 

I will root for him, but there isn't anything that has been done that shows me that this can be salvaged.

 

Maybe a haul of Patterson and Lucas would be a salve, but it could come on the heels of another disappointment of a season.

 

I feel like Walter Cronkite with Lyndon B Johnson.

If Tubby Smith has lost me, he has lost the Big Blue Nation...as I have defended him with everything I can.

Unfortunately, the continual allowance of subpar effort has really grated on me.

 

If we would have lost today and played hard from the tip to the final horn, that would be one thing, but today was as far from that as you can get.

 

Spoken like a true college basketball fan :thumb:

 

Why is Tubby NEVER to blame, nobody blames him, and his post game shows are.. "we didn't do this, we didn't do that. UK's stock when got to Lexington was around $125.00 a share. Now we are down to around $25.00 a share. NO CEO in America would survive that drop.

It's just you.

 

Yeah, just him and a million other people...:sssh:

Are you still solidly behind Smith?

It doesn't matter who the coach is I am behind UK!!

Yeah, just him and a million other people...:sssh:

Really....1 Million people think UK plays uninspired???? At time it seems like that but for the most part I think they are trying.

That's what I said, uninspired at times...no excuse...

I sorry I didn't realize that playing hard most of the time was now acceptable. Please retract all of my past criticism.

I admire your optimism.

Optimism...well, it will become Fact ! Wait and see! UK Sec Tournament Champs!:ylsuper:

Right thats what I was trying to get across.

Right thats what I was trying to get across.

 

and people say that UK fans have been conditioned to lower their expectations.

That isn't what he asked you...

I heard the announcers mention that UK looked like they didn't want to be there...
