Kansas made shot after shot tonight down the stretch, would have been tough out for anybody in the country.

We really need to get our shooters going.

Outrebounded 34-29, 0-5 when they lose the battle of the boards.

UK shot 15% from 3. 69% on FT.

Kansas made the big shots plus 11 dunks.

Still they were competitive. A month ago they’d gotten trashed by 30.

Yep. I think this is the second game for Oscar at Kentucky where he got out rebounded.

2 for 13 from the 3 line ain't going to get it.

How about Wheeler tonight? He just needs to calm down/slow down and he would be a decent pg.

Ummmmmm…….no thank you.

I agree, he’s not the greatest but he’s not the worst. This year is a bust but he’ll play a key role going forward in how far they go.

This team could end up not making the tournament, or they could get really hot and make the final four or beyond. My man Fredrick needs to find some semblance of confidence in his shot. My buddy Tope-in’ needs to step up. I really like the Theiro kid. He’s tough, plays hard, and is a freak athletically. Reeves needs to keep doing his thing. Wallace can be a beast. Livingston is a role player and his minutes should reflect that. Oscar is Oscar. Wheeler should literally be a last resort. They need a 7 man rotation.

Anyone else believe that Wallace was held out so Wheeler could get some minutes tonight?

Wheeler's defense makes Devin Askew look like Larry Johnson (UK guard who graduated in '77).

Fredrick just ain't getting it done. He can't seem to get open. I don't know if he's too slow but Reeves seems to come in and get wide open looks. No idea why he can get wide open and CJ can't. Surely the scouting reports show he's twice the threat that Fredrick is. He was the only one to hit a triple last night.
This team, thus far, looks like a ceiling of sweet 16.

Fredrick does get open shots….he just has to make them. He currently doesn’t. It’s infuriating.
