That was pathetic.

don't like that c-word.
we just didn't perform. didn't play smart at all down the stretch.

No way to sugarcoat it. Embarrassing loss.

You may not like it, but that is what we saw. A team that crumbled because of pressure and inability to close a game.

We did not score in the final 7:36 of the game. That was a choke.

People just need to face the reality. This is a Sweet 16 team at best. If we can't beat mediocre teams in the SEC, how do we beat a good team at a neutral site? Let just hope that Young comes back next year.

and people wonder why the natl media gives us no respect. this team is all window dressing and little substance on the road or in the clutch. we are just above a .500 ball team the last three weeks. this type of play does not bode well for the ncaa tournament. i still say we peaked too early. this team seems to have a leadership problem

We have not played good ball in months win or lose we are not playing well

lean_gator · 03-09-2013, 02:15 PM

Yeah. We led the whole game. Oh wait.

UFreak · 03-09-2013, 02:16 PM

Choke job. Plain and simple

SJB612 · 03-09-2013, 02:16 PM

I just wonder where points are supposed to come from down the stretch in a tight game. The other team usually picks up their D a little, and we can't seem to come up with anything other than contested threes and turnovers. Murphy is the one guy that I would think could get his shot off any time, even if he is contested, but I can't think of the last time he touched the ball and took a shot with the game on the line.

Today was an epic fail

tomorrow is another story

You guys are ridiculous. Go back to watching football.

UK had to have this game. We already won the regular season. Instead of complaining, how about enjoying what has been another great season.

UFish · 03-09-2013, 02:17 PM

Yeah I'm done making excuses for this team. I'm fully expecting another choke in the tournament. Blame it on execution, coaching, or whatever. These guys don't smell blood and they don't have anything close to the killer instinct you need to be a championship team.

This is the worst Kentucky team Calipari is going to have. Without their best player. While we're as close to full strength as you're going to get this late in the season.

How can anyone possibly think this team will make it past the sweet 16? This is just an average team away from home. They have no business being higher than a 3 seed.

Agree. That was just flat terrible.

At least one fan noticed that we were battling the entire game. It was a 50-50 game. It happens.

Now why was it 50-50? That's a good question. This game should have been out of reach long before we started fouling.

diamondted13 · 03-09-2013, 02:18 PM

I hate to be so right about this team. But I called it after the Zona game. Fatally flawed. It is so in their heads it's not even funny. They have never been able to get over the Louisville game. A team with 3 seniors and 2 juniors starting. It boggles the mind that this can happen over and over and over. There is no other explanation other than a MENTAL block. The last 7:36 was a giant chinese fire drill. I'm not sure I've ever seen a team go completely scoreless for the last 7:36. No field goals? Seen that. Zero pts? Never seen it. Ever.

Dude, I love the gators. But this was a choke job. This has been a a trend this year. A bad trend.

**ncgatorfan** · 03-09-2013, 02:19 PM

only chance in for deep tourney run is if we get hot from 3 and blow people out ... otherwise it will be more of the same that we saw today ... has happened too many times to believe it can be corrected this year. Hate to be negative but this is a top 15 team at best.

ballen06 · 03-09-2013, 02:20 PM

Gosh .. I guess that's the result you get when you don't score in the last 6 minutes of the game.
