If you can't draw iron on an uncontested 30 footer you probably shouldn't be walking the ball up the court to taking the last shot

[jwehaeDMB]

Good look but bad decision because this team can't shoot the 3 ball

[SmoothD41]

Kentucky knocked down FTs when they had to.

[SmoothD41]

Rozier is clutch as hell.

[SmoothD41]

Holy shit. What an incredible finish.

[CrushB610]

Heels!!!!

[jwehaeDMB]

How did it end?

[Balor3012]

Paige with a floater of glass with about 9 seconds left

[SmoothD41]

Gritty win by Virginia.

[whygohome?]

We played bad. Still won. Probably won't go undefeated but if that's not going to happen I hope they lose sooner rather thsn later. Still proud of how they fought and won the last 2 games. Some people aren't satisfied unless we win by 20. I am not one of those people. They should have lost both of the last 2 and didn't and that is huge.

Historically Calipari UK teams play badly in January and sometimes February, not worried about it. I am worried about andrew Harrison he's playing terrible and with how everyone nationally and in the fanbase criticizes him you'd think he allegedly sexually assaulted a girl at florida state in 2012. Oh he sometimes frowns on the court and hasnt done anything to deserve the crazy extra criticizing he gets and took us a to a national title last year? Well fuck me.

I don't think Kentucky should win every game by 20 but Texas A&M is awful. They had no business being in this game but our "offense" is so bad and disorganized that somebody's going to beat us. I just hope it's not in the tournament where we shoot 30% and get knocked off by an inferior opponent. Never feared that with the 2012 team.

Still think we're the best team in the country but it's hard not to be a little concerned after the last two games.

Also you would think Cal would has some idea how to attack a zone that doesn't involve passing it around the perimeter until there's 8 seconds left on the shot clock.. And at calling a timeout with 1.9 seconds left in regulation

[jwehaeDMB]

^ yea what was up with that timeout call? So pointless

[mthawk07]

UK struggling the last couple games just shows how incredibly difficult it is to run the table in college basketball, especially once you get into your conference schedule and there's that familiarity with one another.

Gators have had a couple solid performances to start their SEC slate, hoping they can somehow turn the corner after a disastrous OOC slate.

[jcc522]

Unranked Wolf Pack lead Duke. Such a shame that Coach K is going to cry to the refs and start getting calls for the second half.

[jcc522]

carolina is next.

[whygohome?]

So who looked more in trouble on the road, UK or duke?

[kydmb99]

Really don't care how Duke plays

[Rodey]

Didn't see the game, but they were bound to lose one. Didn't play well at Wake and always have problems at NC State. No biggy.

[jcc522]

Rivalry games don't count.

[Foreverford05]

Duke loss is good. Louisville loss good too. UVA looking good in ACC

[thebridge15]

heels!!!

[Balor3012]

Hopefully Syracuse remains unbeaten in conference tonight. Man they have looked great in ACC play so far

Offense has looked at least competent in every other game except Texas A&M IMO. I'm not that worried that we played a bad game on the road. I don't even think we played badly against ole miss. If we look at the previous 5 seasons, aside from the 2010 team and the team that lost nerlens and was terrible even with him, his other 3 teams have peaked and in a big way in March. This team seems like one of those teams to me. And as cal said, we don't want them playing out of their minds right now anyway. We will lose a game but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not until the sec tourney.

And yeah that timeout call was horrible, but I don't think they were executing the play cal had called and he realized it a little too late. Still got off a good look that Aaron 'clutch' harrison almost hit. At the end of the day, we're undefeated and duke and louisville lost and no one gives a shit about florida in either sport so I'm happy.

[whygohome?]

Someone should tell Calipari that it's better to recruit the guys that will stay 3-4 years so you don't end up rebuilding and wasting seasons on teams with talent that doesn't mesh. I mean it's worked so well for billy donovan.

[Rodey]

Wisconsin just lost to Rutgers.

Kaminsky didn't play, but still... yikes.

[SmoothD41]

Rutgers? Good god Wisconsin.

[kydmb99]

Feel like some of the top teams tend to lose focus and urgency right after Christmas break. Just ready for March to be here

[Balor3012]

Arizona is in the middle of an ugly game right now.

[UNLTrpt]

Nebraska got one tonight against Illinois. Needed that one

UVA stealing some 1st place votes from UK this week.
