It just doesn't sit well with me and if some team was doing it to us we'd be pissed.


I agree with this part. The bigger issue is scheduling. UK plays 3 of the Top 10 teams in the pre conference and 3 of the Top 10 in the mid majors pre conference. Part of this is due to with UK getting better they can no longer get B1G and A10 close by to play anymore. Instead of UK vs Michigan or UK vs Indiana the Cats must now schedule a Lipscomb or Georgia Southern.

A bigger issue is the fans who do not follow the sport not understanding which are the good secondary schools UK is playing. A win at MTSU on Sunday does not look like a big win but the Blue Raiders have solid teams and had a top daft pick a year or two ago. They also recruit central KY and have had players from powers like Scott County on the rosters.

I understand what you are saying, but I guess I'm not expressing it well enough. I love the attitude and style that Mitchell is selling to the players. 40 minutes. OK. But when you are up 50 with 10 minutes to go, what point does it serve to continue to press? The last game we played, we didn't impress anyone pressing with 2 minutes to go.
