They wasnt ready to play.
They didnt want to play.
And finally, they didnt start playing until there was about 2 minutes left.
A lot of powerhouses are struggling with mid majors this year.
Personally, I think its the full week off. I bet we win by 40 on wednesday night.

I was at this game....
And for real, at some points of the game.... Rupp Arena sounded like a grave yard.
The fans really didn't come alive until late in the 2nd half.

Kentucky needed a game-ending 24-7 run to beat Cleveland State (USATSI)
The frustration of a few unfavorable late second-half calls apparently had not yet subsided when Cleveland State assistant Jermaine Kimbrough signed onto Twitter a few hours after Monday night's game at Kentucky ended.
As a result, Kimbrough sent out a flurry of angry tweets blaming referees for helping the Wildcats erase a 10-point deficit in the game's final seven minutes and escape with a 68-61 victory. Kimbrough deleted the tweets within an hour of publishing them but not before screen shots of them spread via social media.

Kimbrough's decision to air his emotions publicly on Twitter is one he'll likely regret by morning -- if not sooner. Whereas a player who lashes out at referees on social media just looks immature, a seventh-year assistant coach who does the same comes across as flat-out unprofessional.
Nonetheless, it's easy to see why Cleveland State's staff might believe it suffered from an unfriendly whistle.
Kentucky shot 11 free throws in the final seven minutes compared to just two for Cleveland State. The Vikings also lost starting forward Anton Grady with just over two minutes left in a tie game when he picked up his fourth foul on a double technical and his fifth for hooking his defender in the post.
Cleveland State coach Gary Waters had a chance to sound off about the officiating after the game, but he took the high road in his news conference, responding to a question about the calls that didn't go his way, "You don't want to get into that comment."
Kentucky wouldn't have needed any calls in its favor had it played better during the first 30 minutes of Monday's game. Julius Randle struggled recognizing the double team and turned the ball over too often, perimeter jump shots from James Young or the Harrison twins weren't falling and Cleveland State's smaller, quicker guards were lighting up the Wildcats off the dribble.
Everything changed at the onset of a 24-7 game-ending Kentucky run when the Wildcats finally began sinking some shots that hadn't fallen earlier. In particular, center Willie Cauley-Stein and both Harrisons made some key buckets to key the surge.
Cleveland State received a polite ovation from the Rupp Arena crowd as it left the floor because its effort was so impressive. You can bet Kimbrough's reception won't be quite so cordial now if he ever returns for a future game.

No heart, does not know what playing for the name on the front of the jersey means. Only wants to play for the name on the back.This is my opinion of this team, be lucky to make elite 8

I just hope the crap of "GREATEST TEAM EVER" is over!!!
I want to see this team find it's identity and forget about the crap that the outside puts on them by telling this class that they will go down in history. Let them develop who they are. I'm watching a team that is playing exactly like they are - FRESHMEN! They have the month of December to establish what kind of team they want to be, and yesterday was a perfect example of seeing every iteration of that. This team is not playing the styale that they are most capable of playing, and that is Cal's dribble-drive offense. Late in the game, they finally did what the Davis team did, and that is get to the paint and lob it for easy baskets. Both Harrison's, Young and Hawkins can all beat their man to the paint, force the Defense to collapse and then give the host of big men easy baskets. That will set-up their defense and get the defense to back off, for the kick-out three.
They will lose again, but that has no impact of how this team can possibly play come March. They need to allow their athleticism and size work for them and this team should find themselves deep into March!
