I'll take the win. Kentucky played pretty badly, but still found a way to make it interesting in the end. Couldn't be happier about a win though.

IU IS BAAACCCKKK!!!

Eh, seen this one coming. Not really upset about it, deserved the loss. Teaching moment, move on. It's all about March.

Austin Peay has played a much tougher schedule than UK. If you put them on a neutral court Peay would steamroll them by at least 15. At Rupp it's a tossup.

Dude, just stop. UK's a good team that will most likely make a good run in this year's tournament.

Glad IU won today though :rock::rock::rock:

UK is young. If they end up getting a bid to the NCAA tourney I will be surprised. I think losing to unranked Indiana is the start of their downfall this season. They will win between 13-18 games

You win, I've heard it all!!

This is why I cant leave this board....comical quotes like this one. :lol:

Austin Peay is 1-9....with losses to teams I didnt even know existed and your going to tell me they'd "steamroll" UK on a neutral floor? How does one respond to this without laughter? AP's only other win coming from Arkansas State in overtime.

You, good sir, need to post more. Laughter is the key to a good day.

Just curious.. What other games to you see them losing? They havent lost at home in Cal's tenure, and this team is much better than last years. Vandy in Nasheville and Florida in Gainesville are the only ones I think could go either way.

You'll be surprised if they get a bid to the NCAA tourny? You cant be serious. Its one loss. :eek:lol:

I'm going to generously assume that post was sarcasm. Otherwise, that would be the dumbest post I've read in this forum yet.

Really difficult to say what other games they lose after they lose to a team who hasn't beaten anyone of significance. Whatever the loses are, they will come in away games.

It was a bad idea to let IU easily throw it in to nearly the 3-pt line on the other end, and then basically have everyone retreat. That guaranteed that IU would be able to advance the ball downcourt with time remaining to find a decent shot. Then, when the IU player dribbled across the 3-pt line, four UK players were near the goal. That guaranteed a wide-open look at a 3. With a 2-pt lead on the final play, preventing an open 3 should have been the biggest priority, because that is the only shot that could have beaten them. And, someone else posted in this thread that IU shot 60% from 3 for the game.

If you pause the highlight with two seconds left, and look at where everyone is standing, it looks like IU's plan is to go for the 3 all the way, and UK's plan is to prevent a shot in the paint.

Let's chalk that sequence up to Cal being a lousy in-game coach. :p

Yes, away games only.

So lets say the lose to BOTH vandy and Fla away. Who else? USC and UGA are awful. UT, no comment here. UL is in Rupp. Besides Bama, the west isnt that great.

I say they'll have 2 losses total going into the NCAA tourny. I think the only time they could lose another is at Vandy or at Fla, but not both. UK is great this year, and just like UNC, one game in December doesnt mean squat. They'll be a #1 seed in March, write it down.

Never said they wouldn't. UK wins/loses don't mean that much to me as they do others around here. I'm just looking at possibilities.

In losses everyone wants to blame the coach, when they win it was because of a players ability. Typical.

UK starts 3 freshmen, its December, its the first road game.

Cal is the best recruiter in America.

As a coach he's not even top 25

I thought this was already witnessed when he didn't even make a final four with Wall/Cousins group?

I didn't know they had a foul to give. Backing away from the ball with a foul to give...dang.

To be honest, the last end-game sequence I remember that was defended this poorly was our Vols against Michigan State in the Elite Eight, when all of our guys started the play behind all of their guys, and yet someone reached the rim undefended to force a desperation foul.

You're the Yankees, and you sold your soul to hire that coach. People are going to enjoy it when you lose, be it 10 times a year, once a year, or once every few years. :hi:

Do people really think this is a bad loss? This is by far the best IU team Crean has had and they'll end up as a decent seed in the NCAAT unless they suffer several injuries.
