Chickens committed two shot clock violations late in the game and kicked the ball out of bounds with 20 seconds left. Didn’t matter. And UK never led for a single second.
Lots of empty seats courtside in Rupp by the way. And those who were still there were booing at the end.
South Carolina was 11-20 on three point attempts, which will let you beat a lot of teams on their home floor. They played poorly on offense down the stretch, but hung on.
Kentucky is playing below their talent level, but they really don’t have a noticeable talent edge over Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn or Tennessee.
Wow. Didn’t see that coming. Cal’s been on a bit of a down turn lately. Could be in trouble, if he doesn’t turn things around. Big Blue fans don’t tolerate failure we’ll.
UK is 1-3 in the SEC. I don’t remember exactly when, but it’s been a long time since they were 1-3. Even in their horrible 2021 season when they finished 9-16, they started SEC play 3-0 before they cratered.
Meechie Johnson was a ton of fun to watch last night. Because South Carolina has been pretty average this year, he hasn’t gotten a lot of shine. But he’s a nice player. Seems fearless.
Yep. I have a former co-worker who is a Vandy grad but a Vol fan, from a long line of Vol fans. When we beat UK last year, she relayed congrats and thanks from her grandmother for beating the Jellycats.
The Kentucky writer at The Athletic has opened up a mailbag this morning for questions, which are quite hilarious. They boil down to two main categories: When do they get rid of the Squid, and who do they get to replace him? Nobody is asking anything like “what can they do to turn around this season?” Well, scratch that, there’s one question like that, in a sea of the others.
And yes, at least one of the “who do we get” questions mentioned Muss.
