Bowden plays half way decent and we win

Correct. He's been awful

 

[InVOLuntary]

All.our guards have been MIA except for Bone yesterday.

It’s so hard to win big in CBB without that guard or wing that can go for 25+ on any given night.

We have to rely on our two undersized big men

Bone has the talent. Just doesn’t have the mindset...yet

 

[KPT_VFL]

I’d almost rather lose to anyone than Coach Cal. He’s not even a good coach.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Proud of the boys. They could have packed it in but fought back twice. Kentucky has more talent. We couldn’t hit anything early. Still think we are the better team. Probably a 3 seed, hopefully in south regional.

 

[LA Vol]

Winning today wasn't too much to ask. A championship was on the line, and the Vols had the opportunity but couldn't finish. Championship teams find a way. The Vols didn't. Barnes won't make excuses and fans shouldn't, either. We didn't play our best game and we lost.

 

[Catbone]

Proud of the boys. Sucks but we still have a lot to look forward to!!

Next year we should be back playing UK again in the championship game too!

Today yes.

Turner Bone and Daniel have all had good stretches.

Tough loss today. Seemed nervous out the gate and recovered but couldn't finish. Gotta quit giving up offensive rebounding to the enemy.

He’s talented for college but I’m talking about nba caliber, can create his own shot whenever and has range. Rare i know but man id love to get one.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Oh well get the L out of the way before NCAA... one thing noticed about this team is the win streak usually gets from 4-6 games then a L. So good to start NCAA fresh I guess lol

 

[orangefreak21]

Can't wait to see what bracket we are in. We need to put this loss behind us and get ready to make a deep run

 

[zhangliao04]

NCAA basketball is as dirty as the mob.

I can't wait until ESPN goes under.

Disney is literally the only reason they are a float

We got the season Championship. We played bad in the first half, but came back to within 5. UK has almost double the FT count than we did in the second half before we started fouling them intently.

I hope people keep dropping them and go to other sports outlets. ESPN is junk.

He's really good at getting free agent signings.

Our guards lost the game for us today. Couldn't finish at the basket and couldn't knock down open threes.

They have but the 1/4 of the season the guard play has been an Achilles heel.

Excellent way to look at it.

Quit buying those frozen DVDs.

 

[KPT_VFL]

James Daniel didn’t play enough.

 

[InVOLuntary]

James Daniel didn’t play enough.

Bowden was off, should have put Daniel in for him.

And we lost this championship. This team had the chance and the ability to do something that hasn't been done since 1979. They couldn't get it done. It was a missed opportunity, and I don't see the point in making excuses for it.
