Tiger 8,823 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We can play with these guys away from home. That's my main takeaway from this game. I like how this is turning into a little rivalry. I hope we see them in the SEC tourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our leading scorer but he made some BAD decisions late. UK wins 73-66. Battled the refs, should’ve won this game but we couldn’t get out of our own. Oh well, War Eagle anyways. It’s been a good season, better than most of us would’ve imagined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishepa 1,902 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Can’t shoot 2-16 from 3 in the second half and expect to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82be 14,423 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Well, decent first half and turned into the gang that couldn't shoot straight in the second half. Didn't expect a win but when you hang around it's disappointing when you lose like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are evenly matched, and halfway decent officiating makes this game a toss up at best for Kentucky. Edit: not to say Kentucky couldnt beat us any given day. Especially with us shooting historically bad from 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Sucks that we couldn't pull this out. Some REALLY bad shots down the stretch. Needed to drive the ball and we settled for 3's that weren't falling. Just wish that our guys knew what their strengths are ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSammyK 171 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Sure would have liked to see Wiley get to the free throw line some. But we showed that we can play with them away from Auburn and that’s big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Only thing we got going for us rest of the regular season is undefeated at home. Hopefully we do something in the SEC and clear the first round of NCAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boisnumber1 2,818 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Tough loss, but we earned it. You can't play that stupid in the second half and expect to win. For a senior laden team, they sure play like freshman mentally at times. And its not just one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Also, I'm gonna say it again. I can't stand Quickley. Guy shoots 82% from the line but in our two games he has shot 20-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 With last years team, we got absolutely embarrassed at Rupp. Then we went on a run. Also I think it’s a testament to Bruce. You would think this team would get embarrassed at Rupp before last seasons team if you were just asking the question. I still think Bruce can inspire these guys to make a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhiz7 273 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 J'Von took some poor shots and missed his FTs. Not putting in L on him but his play today didnt help us on several possessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTigersfan89 256 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I didn’t watch any of the second half, but it sounds like dumb 3 pointers kept being tossed up by us. In the first half, after going up 9, Samir threw up two stupid 3 point bricks that then let them go on a run to take back the lead. We did hit some 3’s in the first half, but it’s not like our 3 point shooting all the sudden got better. We were so successful going inside, I have no idea why we don’t like to try and pass the ball to open something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyinsocal 831 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 A lot of reasons we lost. Doughty, McCormick, Okoro 8-32 from the field. McCormick 1-5 FTs. A whole lot of silly fouls and bad shots. But Wiley not getting to the line is a joke. Good grief. We played them tough, and SHOULD have won. The effort was there. Honestly, if we were better schooled at it, I would have zoned UK more and forced them to beat me from 3.Their guards are super quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 The worst thing that could have happened to us: We started the game 4-4 from 3. Gave the team WAY too much confidence that we could hit the 3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
