Not looking good. Maybe UK will start doing dumb stuff and shoot themselves in the foot. Bruce has undoubtedly upgraded our talent level from the Barbee debacle but this goes to show the difference at the big boy level. We still have a ways to go.

A stupid half of basketball for us.  Just stupid.  KY shot open shot after open shot, and we jacked up contested 3-pointers early in almost every possession.

Our shot selection is beyond embarrassing.  Every color commentator in all our games has harped (no pun intended) about our terrible shot selection.  That goes back to Bruce.

Doesn't everybody when they play us at their place?

And this is not even close to one of Cals most talented teams. They are just more talented and longer at every position on the floor.

And once again. A miserable end to the half. Ugh

We have to be the worst team in the country in the final minute of a half.

That shot by Purifoy was one of the dumbest and stupidest shots You could of had at the moment. HE had no business taking that shot if he was not struggling mightily and still rusty. MAN ALIVE.

actually, except for herro, they are pretty average from the arc....washington is a very good player, but he is nowhere near as good from the 3 as he is showing today

Every time I get frustrated with this team (it’s often) I have to remind myself it’s not the “Final 4” quality team we thought we would have after the tournament last year.

The ceiling for this team with two streaky guards, no consistent inside presence, and replacing their best player was probably always a mid-high seed in the NCAA with the good chance to win one game in March, maybe two if they got streaky at the right time. Disappointed with the season, but also nice to know a “disappointing” season now is this.

I was thinking 1:30 lol, but I had the same thought . Whether we’re up or down, more often than not, we crumble at the end of the first half

Yes. it is extremely frustrating when kentucky has the least amount of 3 pointers made in the sec but against us they look like the freaking warriors. Though our defense has been atrocious. Most of their threes were wide open looks.

That one and Brown dribbling for 5+ seconds and driving right into the teeth of their defense trying to draw a foul instead of passing the ball up to Wiley underneath.

Are you actually watching this game?   We have 32 shots from the floor and have taken 13 3 point attempts.  That's not even remotely close to almost every possession.

And Wiley missing a short bunny in the lane. That killed us to end the half.

And our first shot of the 2nd half: a 3-pointer clanged off the rim by Mac.

Do we ever learn anything?
