We have to hit shots. 29% in the second half.

This 3 point shooting can't be gone soon enough.

What is the thought process of not attacking the basket most of the game and just slinging 3's? Why is this trend continuing?

This is bad coaching, plain and simple. This team should not have the freedom to just run down and sling a 3.

Has there ever been a worse shooting “good” basketball team? FT/3PT are just absolutely abysmal.

We lost because they beat us. We're still trying to find ourselves with some of the new rotations. Okoro still shaking off some rust i think.

Precisely why they should be attacking the basket. Very much higher percentage of points and getting the other team in foul trouble this year.

Kentucky’s just better... margin isn’t that much... glad to see our bench being more productive.

Hopefully we can stay a 2 or 3 seed in Nashville and get a rematch on Sunday.

I need you guys to understand that complaining about downvotes only causes more people to downvote

It's OK, just voicing my opinion their opinion is retarded.

When is the last time McLemore made a 3


What sucks is that he improved the arc on his 3 shot in the off-season, but now its reverted back to that ugly flat push. Every time he's shot a 3 in the last few weeks I know its probably going to smash off of the rim mount instead of even getting close to going in.

Well no shite, but you raise the percentage of guys fouling out dramatically and raise your make percentage dramatically.

This team is terrible from 3, that should not be the game plan.

You raise your make percentage assuming you make them We shot like crap from everywhere today.

When you get to the tourney officials call less fouls. We can’t bank on drawing a foul every time we drive when MM rolls around.

I’m not mad about that L in the slightest. We competed for 40 at Rupp. We can get em in Nashville

Same. I expected to get handled. Let’s finish the regular season strong and secure the 2 or 3 seed.

Agree. We played hard and competed till end.

That missed layup by Wiley with about 2 1/2 mins left really hurt. It took us from being down 3 to down 7.

And I wish ask Pearl on Tiger Talk Thursday why we took so many 3’s when we had some of them in foul trouble.

McCormick taking 7 3’s is not what we need from him. Anferee taking a 3 AT ALL is now a turnover automatically.

Purifoy never scored another point after 5 mins into the game.

Played UK well...they just beat us. Let's win the last 2 and call it a great regular season and make some noise in the post season.

There were about half a dozen similar situations yesterday. We just couldn't get over the hump. Proud of the fight and effort. I think most (including myself) expected a double digit thumping with the way we've played on the road and with the way uk has played down the stretch.
