Apparently Kentucky’s loss yesterday has an asterisk (just like against LSU)

Because players were hurt.
Kentucky shouldn’t have to build a deep bench like elite teams

Kentucky shouldn’t have to build a deep bench like elite teams
quote:
1. ANOTHER KENTUCKY ROAD LOSS WITH AN ASTERISK It happened at LSU. You know the story of that Jan. 4 basketball game in Baton Rouge. Point guard Sahvir Wheeler goes down in the first four minutes after slamming into a backcourt screen. He doesn’t return. Starting guard TyTy Washington moves to point, but then suffers debilitating leg cramps in the second half. He tries to return but can’t. Kentucky loses 65-50.
Saturday we saw the sequel. With 8:20 left in the first half, Washington makes a beautiful floater over Auburn’s 7-foot-1 center Walker Kessler. But Washington lands on teammate Oscar Tshiebwe’s leg, injuring his ankle. Off to the locker room he limped. And did not return.
quote:
And the hope is that if and when these two teams meet again, both will be at full strength. A fair fight. If we’re lucky.

Kentucky fans:
Just like every single year. Nothing but lame excuses.

Despite being "hurt" Wheeler played more minutes (36) than any individual Auburn player.

We lost, just like we lost against LSU. Have no clue why anyone would put an asterisk.

Got a link to the shitty take?
We lost straight up.

I would guess Rupp Rafters? People don't realize that some of our BB only fans are autistic as hell. They give Gump homers a run for their money for dumbest fans.

I guessing the OP is not going to show the original source of this so called shitty take.
Well, we are waiting…

Rare to see Kentucky fans on this board make excuses for losing.. and if you don't think they're still the big dog, look at the crowds they draw at every SEC arena

I have yet to see one Kentucky fan on this site make any excuse for the loss.
I await for the op to show the source of this shorty take.

Summoning UKWildcat... said all week Auburn fans were going to be no shows after a UK win.

Kentucky channeling their inner LSU it would seem.
LSU Fans: Oh no, we suck!
Strange voice: There's no need to fear, Captain Asterisk is here!

Not sure where that’s from but you have to play with the hand your dealt. We did, and we lost with it.
On to the next one.

But Washington lands on teammate Oscar Tshiebwe’s leg, injuring his ankle. Off to the locker room he limped. And did not return. Then, with 11:28 left in the second half, Wheeler collided with a blind-side screen. This one happened in the frontcourt. Kessler was the screener. Wheeler hit the floor and stayed there. He did return to the game later, but was not as effective as he had been previously. Kentucky ends up losing by nine. Read more at: LINK ]
[quote]The Cats led 25-16 when Washington departed. His plus/minus was a plus-eight. From there, Kentucky was outscored 13-8 the remainder of the half, 64-46 the remainder of the game. Wheeler is a valuable piece, no doubt. But Washington is arguably Kentucky’s best offensive player, a smooth scorer and four-time SEC Freshman of the Week award winner. “He’s a playmaker,” Calipari said afterward. “If he needs to get a basket, he can get it. We don’t have guys like that.” It showed. 2. KENTUCKY SUFFERED TOO MANY DEFENSIVE BREAKDOWNS Even with Washington out and Wheeler limited, Kentucky had its chances. In a hostile environment. Against the No. 2-ranked team in the country. “Even with (the injuries), it was a winnable game,” guard Kellan Grady said. “I think we should have won the game.” Read more at: LINK ]
