The VU makeup game is official. There are still 2 open dates for additional, possible makeup games. Florida in Knoxville is still possible.

These next two games at Vanderbilt and Auburn are crucial to building momentum for the SEC Tournament.

The offense needs to work inside out instead of settling for so many three point shots.

Someone smarter than me needs to explain the offensive inconsistency on this team.

Is it the defensive looks we're getting from different teams? Is it depending so much on new guys who are inconsistent? Or is it just a matter of sometimes we're making shots and sometimes we aren't? A little of each? The offensive ups and downs just seem so....extreme...with this team.

It seemed like in the first half today, we were settling for mid-range jumpers -- not good. But in the second half we just weren't hitting anything. Were we settling for mid-range jumpers because of what the defense is doing to us? I thought UK played well defensively, but we're so up and down from game to game, why isn't every team doing what LSU did to us?

Vandy is actually playing better than we are right now. They almost beat UK last week and lost to Bama by 4 today. If Barnes doesn’t light a fire under this pedestrian group Wednesday is going to be embarrassing

Got that feeling about this one... we are floundering and Stackhouse is looking for a “signature win”

We split the next two imo. Hope I’m wrong but I am not confident in this team’s ability tone consistent two games in a row, regardless of opponents’ record as SEC.

Barnes postgame show didn’t give me much confidence as he stated that it’s more what UT is doing or not doing.

Bailey said KY kept a big man in the paint to prevent Keon and Springer from attacking the lanes.

I’ll take a split if it means everybody injured can sit out and heal up for the tournaments.

They are anything but consistent; never know if they will be cold or hot and no in between.

I can't believe we have to be subjected to this hot garbage. This team isn't one bit better, today, than they were three months ago. In fact, you could argue they are worse.

They’re not even fun to watch. They’re gonna win but watching this ugly offense and how they play is a chore

They aren't. I just told my wife the same thing an hour ago. It isn't even fun. We should have destroyed this team. Their body language is awful, the energy is awful, the carelessness...I could go on and on. They made a half dozen passes, or more, that I literally yelled at my tv, "Where do you expect that pass to end up?!?!?".

Yeah they covered so sure but the first 35 minutes were inexcusable. We haven’t beaten a decent team in a month. We don’t have a fun team. It’s frustrating.

How many tourney teams did we play from Kansas forward?
Click to expand...

Not many, but we’ve had two bad losses in that span. Either way we haven’t beaten a good team since Kansas even if we haven’t played many (UK is 48 in kenpom and I like using the top 50, so I guess maybe you can use them but doubt they go to the tourney). And the fact we have struggled for 35 minutes against a depleted Vandy team is not a great sign this team has improved since then.
