Barnes got on their ass and now it’s finally evening out. But not before we had two starters go to the bench with foul trouble.

Have we ever won when retiring a jersey?  Ugh

Yeah, it’s been a fist fight but the refs aren’t the ones missing layups and going 3-18 from 3, AND getting out rebounded 20-3.  That’s called getting outplayed.

9-17 on layups!   :banghead:

Refs have been bad, no doubt… but we’ve played like slaw too.

Rebounding has been the big difference in this game.  ORN and Aidoo played soft and UK controlled the glass (40/22 total rebounds, 13/3 offensive rebounds, 27/19 defensive rebounds).

Imo, this was a Tobi Awaka type game and he got very little PT.  

Missed layups also played a big role.  

**Addendum:  We've played like crap and are still in the game.

We’ve played like hot garbage. In no way do we deserve to win this game.

That said: remember when we led the nation in FT differential? The announcers went out of their way to mention it in every broadcast.  Then we got to SEC play, and just like that, we have big FT deficits in 4 of 5 games.

Purely coincidental, I’m sure.  :frown:

Poor shooting. UT should have won by 10.

That's just it. How many times is poor shooting going to rear it's ugly head this year? Gotta win these home games.

There's no way I'm putting the blame for this on the stripes.  Plenty of blame in our play today to explain this L.

We were 10-21 on damn layups...And as Barnes just said many were uncontested. He also said bad guard by.....And out rebounded by damn 20.

Questionable coaching at times IMO too.

It just sucks to beat teams like Kansas and lose to UK.

ZZ missed 3 bunnies right before halftime. That was the turning point in the game, IMO. :banghead:

That was very big. He then misses two easy ones in the second half and takes another one that is a terrible shot with under 30 seconds to play.  Add to that the wide open miss by JJJ and the short one that SV missed at the end and it only gets worse.

it's a long season with many more games to play. They will be okay. Probably lose a few more however.. they still should challenge for SECc

We are famous for our slumps.

Very disappointing performance. We got out hustled. Nkamhoua & Aidoo were bad. Plavsic was terrible rebounding too! Physically whipped. Better get back to work!

You know when we are going to lose everytime. Uncanny how we miss layups at times. This isn't the first time that has happened.  :banghead:

3 of 21 from the 3.....10 of 21 on layups....out rebounded by 20....I thought I was watching the LVs play :banghead:
