Title: Here is what I think.........
Post by: droner on February 17, 2019, 04:24:16 EST
I think Kentucky decided to play a physically rough game and see what was called. It worked. We weren't ready for it and got out-muscled.

It will be interesting to see how the game is called in Knoxville and how we will adjust.

I hate that we were beaten that badly. But better to find our weak points now.

That was exactly KY's game plan. They hit us in the mouth and we folded.

This butt whipping can go 2 ways. Hope we chose the right one.

Agree 100% with both of these posts.

Worse than being thoroughly outmuscled is being thoroughly outhustled.  Standing around flat-footed while KY showed all-out effort.  If this is a wake up call, I sure hope the message was clear.

This has been coming for a while now. Really, the level of play has dropped ever since we moved to #1, but our competition hasn't been strong enough to take advantage up until last night. We won't be #1 now, so hopefully this is the wakeup call this team needed.

As for the officiating? While I wouldn't go so far to say it cost us the game, it WAS horribly inconsistent and one-sided (at least until the game was already decided). With UK coming off a home loss in which they THINK they were screwed by the refs (even though they really weren't), you had to see a makeup game coming last night. I mean, this was called a foul...on Kyle Alexander: :frown:
