Give it a break. A freshman has taken his position and he's dealing with it a lot better than a lot of upperclassmen would. We'll need him in some games throughout the rest of the year.Quote:

It feels nice to GAF about basketball again. Hear, hear?
Now that is how you play a basketball game. That was a kickass effort by our team!
Hear, hear.Quote:

Final Foul Count for the Game: 51 fouls between both teams. That's a smidge over 1.25 fouls per minute. Wayyyyy too many fouls called.
That was a lot of fun. We played hard and played well for the most part. We lost but that was a really encouraging performance by the Pups
If only our football team would play like this...
I know you had to like that one. Stayed with Kentucky without hitting shots and with our center fouling out with 14 freaking minutes left.Quote:

At the beginning of the game I was commenting about how good Kentucky was and we kept taking their best shots and then making runs at them.
I hope the students are jonesing to get back to The Hump for the next home game. It's going to be fun for a while.
Wouldn't that be something.Quote:

I'm sorry. I wish someone on scholarship would try a little harder
to stop Fox from blowing by him for all of those layups in the last 5 min of the game.
On the Tv the student section both looked and sounded great, fwiw. I'm glad they care. Now we need to get the ticket holders to start giving a shit.Quote:

Watching Ole Miss and Tennessee after the MSU/UK game you can see a night and day difference in the athleticism. No comparison. If we can play our game and keep improving, no reason we can't go 4-0 against Ole Miss and Tennessee.
Really dude? If we hit our normal average in free throws, we win the game. We played very well with a lot of effort. Not many teams can stop Fox. UK couldn't stop Peters either with their back court.Quote:

Haha. Is that your first time seeing him play? He was the best high school PG in the country last year. Not many people can guard him.Quote:

That was good game. Great atmosphere and energy. We are young but we are close boys. The most important part of a basketball game are the first 3 minutes of each half. The first 3 minutes of second half was our undoing. We made some critical mistakes and the refs completely shafted us a few times. This team has a lot of pieces in place and I am very excited about the rest of this season.
And we get South Carolina and Florida at The Hump. A top 4 seed in the SEC tournament is very much in play.Quote:

Our ability to score can keep us in every game from here on out. We don't have to play Kentucky again until the SEC tourney. We should gain confidence from this. I think we go 9-4 when we play Florida. If we can go 2-2 against UF, USC, and UK I think we will be in great shape. That will mean all we need to do is to defend our home court against Florida and South Carolina. I think we can do that.Quote:

They have a lot of vacancies in the high-dollar seats too.
That's still a tall ask. If we go 2-1 against UF and SC, then we go 13-5 or 14-4 in conference.Quote:

3. Great job by the crowd.
4. Kentucky is really athletic
5. Hopefully we can avoid the Kentucky let down at tenn. Glad we have 4 days to regroup.
I think the U.K. Let downs happen because of the blow outs. We actually played them harder then anyone has to this point so I don't think we have a let down at Tennessee.Quote:

This is the first time that we match up physically in size with Ky that I can remember.
Actually the announced attendance was 9800 and change.
YepQuote:
