They're definitely a top 20 team. They couldn't have played any better and we couldn't have played any worse. Trap game, at Assembly Hall. Just a bad situation for this young UK team.

I still don't understand how the hell we even had a chance with how bad we played.

Look, as great as the Wall team was, they were completely embarrassed by a South Carolina team that had ONE player, and that on player beat the entire UK squad! This game was not only winnable, but respectable from the sense that UK did a lot of things right, put themselves in position to win, and could still walk off the floor with respect. To me, this loss was far less embarrassing than the loss to Downey and the Gamecocks. Sure, no one wants to lose to a rival, but it's easier to digest a loss to a rival that is a solid team than when the Cats lost to USC. To me, this team, in such few games, ha a better upside than the GREAT team of two years ago.

Sure, it's always easy to say "we will learn from this". But I truly believe, the Cats will learn from this and be all the better for it. Its games like this that prepare you for the tough games in March. I promise you, in that 3rd or 4th round game in the Tourney, when the Cats need to hit that big free-throw, get out on an open three-point shooter, or foul down the stretch, THEY WILL!

ASSlan (thank you Sparty), I'll take 39-1, 38-2, or 37-3 as long as the last game of the season is a WIN! You know what that means!
