Seeding doesnt matter. 15 or 16 seed would make it interesting with the style we play. At some point there would be ab a 9 min drought where we score like 3 points.

its the same stuff over and over for years.

When you're not trolling on VN, what do you do? Bully toddlers? Punch babies?

Nobody expected DK. But I think most of us expected more than just a guy who can occasionally hit threes.

That’s not who he was, and we knew that. At North Florida last year, 241 of his 420 shots were three-pointers. That’s 57% of his shots. He shot 44%, which is awesome. We knew we recruited a 3 point shooting specialist, who wasn’t nearly as good creating his own shot.

Doesn’t matter what any of us foresee. The 1st goal of a regular season championship was already outta reach. The sec tourney really is meaningless seed wise so don’t care about it either. I know everyone wants a first final four or whatever but I’ll be happy with an EE. This team has had 3 head scratching losses. But it’s also had streaks of solid wins. Just gotta be hot when it matters.

Agree with all of this. But it still sucks big time to get swept by UK with a first year head coach.

His mid range game is weak. He has almost no explosiveness and rarely drives to the basket. Why? I get he is a 3 point shooter. But when those shots aren’t falling, he can’t do much of anything.

And he ain’t getting it done on a consistent basis against the good competition.

He struggled tonight and at UF. But he scored 21 against OU, 19 at home against UF, 15 at home against UK, 23 against MSU, 17 at Vandy, 29 against Arky, 17 at Illinois, 25 against Baylor, 26 against UVA, 19 at Louisville.

He was a 4 year mid major player who is in the top 5 in scoring in the toughest conference (maybe ever). He’s not DK, but without him, we wouldn’t be nearly as good. We have to ride with him.

I know we have to ride with him but imo he is a disappointment.

It’s hard to call him a disappointment when he’s top 5 in scoring. He’s done what he was brought here to do. Would I like for him not to go 0-7 from 3 at Rupp? Sure. But without him, we wouldn’t be nearly as good. He’s played well in some high level games for us. He’s never played week in and week out in a conference like this. If he were a sure fire NBA player, he wouldn’t be playing his 5th year.

I know right lol

In all seriousness that was probably the worst game I’ve watched this year
Snowy Tuesday night
Just seemed off
Seemed like we were just going through the motions

JMO

On to the next

Should be a top 3 seed barring an epic collapse

Can’t wait for the tourney to start
This team has a great shot at winning it all

Good grief nobody is saying that. But we got swept by a first year head coach. Most of us laughed when UK hired Pope. We laughed when they got smoked by UGA. We laughed when they lost to Vandy. And now they sweep us.

There is no way to sugar coat it. This series against UK was pathetic. We are still a very good team. But you make it sound like we lost to a powerhouse on the road. We didn’t. Oh and why is it other teams can win on the road in the SEC but we can’t?

I swear some of you go to extremes when others get upset.
