UT @ UK game thread

[PadCatFan]

No it doesn't. We will probably fall to the #2 three seed. Win at Florida and make the SEC title game and we probably still end up a two.

If we win at Florida. We just lost at home to Tn! Make the SEC title game is a stretch based o tonight. Hagans needs psych help.

So many seem indifferent that we just got punked at HOME by Tennessee. Man I hate them , other than UNC rather lose to ANYBODY but the Orange Stain. It isn’t just the loss, it’s the way we lost. Anybody that thinks this isn’t a cause for deep concern this late in the season needs to get off the Koolaid

Catfighting with crazzed aside (heh heh), the second half tonight gives me serious pause about a run in March. That was a complete system collapse, and a brain fart like that will lose a game in the first or second round.

[PadCatFan]

I don't think any of us thought we were going to win out. Hagans got some rest, Quickley was normal, and Richards was last year. This game shows we can lose the opening weekend, but the last eight games show they can make a final four run.

So ????

I don't think anybody is indifferent; I was screaming and cursing in the basement and probably woke up our two year old.

I was just pointing out that, like clockwork, crazzed comes out of the woodwork, making doomsday proclamations. It would be as infuriating as the basketball game, if it wasn't so predictable.

Lol what?

If you don't understand that, you are clueless.

You're an insufferable doofus.

We were terrible tonight -- that was an infuriating fifteen minutes of basketball. But it's not the end of the world, and it's not going to crash our seeding into the 4 and 5 area, because (hint hint) everybody else around us continues to lose, too. As always, you need to step off the ledge, have a stiff drink, and learn to enjoy this game a little bit. I've asked before and you've never given me an answer: it's obvious that Kentucky basketball makes you miserable, so why do you watch it?

I'll never understand why people put so much into one game, win or lose. If we win a big, tough game on the road we have final four potential. Drop one at home after winning eight in a row? Geez we won't make it past the second round. In all reality this is an elite eight team that has a chance at a final four. You need guard play and free throw shooting to have success in the tournament and we've got both.

So, who out there doesn't have a cause for deep concern? Just Baylor and Kansas? Because they're the only two teams who haven't dropped a weird game in the last two weeks. These are kids. They will have off nights. It's better to have it now, get humbled, and have another week to get it right. This game means very little because we are realistically a three seed as long as we don't lose our next two.

Please enlighten me how this loss is "worst" than Evansville.

I guess it's a good thing all of our hopes, dreams, and chances aren't based on one game of the season.

It's pretty comical. I remember us being a nine seed after the South Carolina loss.

See that’s where we differ, a game against UT at Rupp ought to mean a lot .Its only our biggest SEC rival AND the team that has beaten us the most. But hey if it”doesn’t mean much” to the fans then why should it matter to the kids playing. We DID not become the winningest program of all time saying MEH to a home loss to Tennessee

I promise no matter what anyone believes me laying on the couch at home not worrying if we lose to Tennessee when we already have the regular season wrapped up and will be a three seed doesn't have any effect on how the players feel.

This is not a worse loss and I can't believe someone thinks that.

Apparently Cal and Hagans had some words during the game. We don't need this stuff right now.
