Florida 81 Kentucky 70 OT

[RockPride]

UK played with a lot of heart, but ran out of gas. With the minutes that these Cats are playing, it looks like this will happen much more this season, as well.

[Hangman]

That one hurts.... Oh well, I'm over it.

[buzzer beater]

Double ouch. UF outscored UK 20-9 in the OT...

[rockcastleraiders]

Believe it or not this UK team is WAY better than the one that lost to Gardner-Webb.

Why in the world is Harris on the court in clutch time? Come on BCG, I know you like his size but this kid is not a great bball player.

Believe it or not this UK team is WAY better than the one that lost to Gardner-Webb.

 

Right....but they may not recover their legs this year.

Florida seemed to have had a lot of favorable calls in this one... although they didn't capitalize that well. It always seems as if the other team can hit clutch shots (Hodge's three to make it a five-point game.) The shot to send it into overtime by Bradley was huge, but just a few minutes earlier, he wasted to consecutive possesions with two consecutive offensive fouls... he and Crawford try to do too much.

I believe it.

 

 

They played their heart out, just couldn't pull it out in the end.

Its good to see UK competing now. That was something you wouldn't see much at the beginning of the season. Now its time to get over the hump.

 

On a side note that had no effect on outcome in the game...The refs were questionable at best for the majority of the game. You'd think the SEC could find better ones. I watched basketball all day today and they were by far the worst I saw. But like I said, they had no effect on the outcome of the game. UF won, UK lost....simple as that

[MoreheadEagle]

UK played fairly well just tired out in OT. Patterson plays like a senior and he's only a freshman

[John Anthony]

UK is a better team at this point, but in too deep of a hole.

[rockcastleraiders]

True. When does UK play a team that is "beatable" I think they said Tennessee is next didn't they? OUCH!

[LRCW]

Right....but they may not recover their legs this year.

 

 

They'll have plenty of time to recover come March. :cry:

[KYSPORTSFAN]

Curious to what was said between Billy D and PP after the game??

[gametime]

I've seen a lot of similarities in UC and UK over the last few week, except UC is finding a way to win and UK is falling just short.

 

Giving great effort and falling short can be very tough on an already fragile team, and these guys are going to have to dig deep in rapid fashion...
