and we end up winning by seven on a 24.5 point spread, allowing 58 second half points from a team that is 1-9 in the SEC.

This season can't get over fast enough for me now.

The only player on UK's squad that looks as if he actually cares about the game is Gabriel. Love watching him play.... looks to be a great kid also. The rest I could care less about.

You could care less? Also, thanks for that box score. Haven't seen much along those lines (box scores, highlights, etc) from you after UK games lately...

Very little in the form of entertainment to post. This team is boarderline unwatchable. Will more than likely be the same next season with a new crop of OAD's coming in.

.... but with that big smile on his face he already knows he's gonna be a multi-millionaire in a couple of months. No need to jeopardize that by fighting for a rebound and getting injured.

Kentucky, Nova, UNC, Dook, Whats-the-matter-with-Kansas?, and Baylor, good luck guys getting past Gonzaga this year. This is the year of the 'Zags. I've been watching them here on the West Coast. When you are scoring in the 90s and you are holding them to the 50s... I mean, dayum! They look... unbeatable.

While I would admit that their RPI is not as strong as UNC's, playing Florida, Iowa State, Arizona, Washington, Tennessee, and BYU is not exactly.... absofuckinglutely no one

Some genius over at KSR came up with these stats pre and post South Carolina game..... Easily seen that defense is the main concern for this team since the SC game.... especially 3 pt defense.

Cal switching man to man is why our defense on 3 points sucks. You end up with Bam and Willis guarding the PG because they switch off and can't get back

Parish writes an article to provide some level of optimism

I don't have it but ...whatever.

rumor floating around that Sacha Killeya Jones will be wearing UNC blue next year.

Kid didn't start playing basketball seriously until his sophomore year, grew a few inches and graduated a 5 star player. Now he's a 5 star buried on the bench at UK getting walk-on minutes for team that is struggling to give minutes to players that can contribute.

UK shot 20% better than their season average from 3 against us. Great...

Again, don't bail on your team in early February. Even if you hate them now, they still have enough talent to make a March run.
