Honestly one of the best games I've seen us play in awhile, just didn't get it done.
I agree. Kentucky is shooting lights out right now. They hung 117 on Bama Saturday.Quote:

Wait a minute, I could be wrong but after Hubbard made his shot why did the game clock stop for 2 seconds? I thought it was supposed to keep running. It gave UK and extra 3 seconds to get last shot off. **** Kentucky.
We shot 70% from FT, 51.6% from field, and 44.4% from 3. We played great, but they're better. Sucks, but true.Quote:

I just pray that we dont let that kill our momentum. This team can win games. almost nobody has kentucky talent. just keep fighting
Godd*mmit!!! I'm sure the afterlife, whenever/wherever it may be, will be reels and reels of losses like these. Geez...
We played our asses off but bottom line is we have to recruit better. We just don't have enough offense to consistently win games against teams with that much firepower. I knew when we got into a shootout it wouldn't end well for us.
We've beaten two top 10 teams this year and just won five SEC games in a row. Which of those facts say our veteran team lets this loss linger?Quote:

I'm not sure many do. When Bama and Kentucky are shooting well, they're really tough to beatQuote:

The Ole Miss loss where we got beat by 30 the next game. The Georgia Tech loss where we lost to Southern the next game.Quote:

Imagine if we had one more guard who could shoot it well, like we were supposed to have!! SMH!Quote:

I just wish we did not have to play Murphy and Matthews so much. You are playing with 4 on offense with one of them and 4 on defense with the other.Quote:

I ain't into moral victories but we have a damn good basketball team, and this game backs that up
We lost and should have won but we are a solid, very good tourney team; ain't no doubt about it and I wouldn't want to play us.Quote:

You gotta throw the Southern game out. It sucked but it was an anomaly. UT, Bama, KY, and Auburn are better than us. They'll all most likely go further in the NCAA Tournament than us. If we lose to Auburn Saturday we will be 2-5 against them this year. I'm not sure if any other SEC teams has played that schedule.Quote:

We can be a Sweet 16 team. Just have to keep grinding
Proud of the team and where the program is right now. Night and day compared to the past 10+ years.
What an absolute awesome game with two freshmen dueling down the stretch! And Kentucky is healthy and rolling right now. They've got a chance to make a Final Four run imo. They've had one bad loss since getting healthy, but otherwise have been playing lights out. To go toe-to-toe with them means we can beat anyone on any given night... might be a fun tourney!
Without a doubt... can't stand either of them.Quote:
