I guess I'm just tired of our fans bashing our team. We're on a historically good run, and all our fans can do is bitch about an offensive slump we're in. Just enjoy the Kessler/Jabari duo while we have them. If we lose out and miss a SEC title, maybe I'll be upset.

I'm with you... but I've learned it's what "some fans" are going to do no matter what so I'm just going to ignore them, be positive and like you enjoy a 27-4 season, hopefully, a regular-season championship and this run of great teams. Hopefully, we can get better and get to another final four and beyond.

The bad news is I keep thinking we can't play worse but I keep getting proven wrong.

Valid complaint right now. This is an emotional team which is great when things are going well but guys seem to get frustrated when things aren’t and can get in their heads. We need them riding a wave heading to the post season. Hopefully an outright reg season title win at home provides that.

We've won the SEC, the SECT, and made the Final Four. Of course we want to take the next step. We have the #1 pick in the draft (probably) with what should be a capable supporting cast to make a real run at winning the whole thing. So of course it's frustrating we're regressing at the worst possible time and seem to be failing to make any adjustments to reverse the slide.

What kind of mentality is "well we sucked forever so we should just be happy with whatever we can get"?

Flannigan is turnover prone period... looks like Tarzan plays like Jane. Wendell has to get into the paint a draw contact. Zep has to step up and shoot. Kess had to get fed the ball inside. And everyone has to go all out for rebounds. We need to catch a spark now.

I like how some people on here think Kentucky is the best team in the conference, yet lost to Arkansas today. We lose on the road it’s a disaster, but they lose and it’s just a glitch

Randy if you want to bitch and moan more power to you... I won't waste a minute of my time worrying over things I can't control but again if that makes you happy you do you.

I feel you. One piece of hope I’m holding onto is that the 18/19 and 19/20 teams hit a similar lull and then picked it up heading into the tourney. Unfortunately the 19/20 team was deprived a shot at a run because I think they had one in them.

Yep they lost with their full roster, and without even forcing OT

I don't think anyone was thinking this way at all after we lost to Arkansas but after almost losing to Mizzou, UGA, then losing to Florida and now UT I think there is real cause for concern.

Their two starting guards are not 100% and didn't start the game when they got down 15-2.

That’s not the mentality at all. Losing sucks. Just think some are being dramatic about it. I haven’t seen anything remotely close to suggesting this team “has no chance to make it past the sweet 16”. That and the constant Green bashing from a couple others is what annoys me.

Wheeler got taken out multiple times because Arkansas was targeting him on D. He played 29 minutes and TyTy played 35. They had a full roster

I will agree with you on both those points. I think this is still a solid Sweet 16 team but I want to win it all, or at least make it to New Orleans.

Kerryon played against UGA in the SECCG, but he wasn't Kerryon. Either way it doesn't matter who is better between Arkansas and Kentucky, we just need to fix our own issues and we can beat either.

Randy has been critical but everything he’s voiced has been thought out and rational. I have no problem with that (not that what I think matters). It’s more so the guys who are seemingly abandoning ship and writing off the team. Even though the offense is struggling, the defense is still extremely good and it travels. It won’t carry us to a natty but it will keep us in games even when the offense isn’t producing.

Hey, thanks so much for the eCred I'll use it at Whataburger and then I'll go get a few cold drinks and discuss the positive side of our season with my positive friends. Enjoy your night of futility here.

I like Randy he's a good poster, a little two critical for my taste but he's not a shite poster like some of the others.

On your other assessments, very likely but that remains to be seen. We could turn it around. I have faith in Bruce.

Reported that Kessler was in fact injured on that fall at the beginning of the game. Definitely impacted his play today.
