Lexington Herald columinst John Clay pretty much sums up what all UK fans are thinking....Tubby will have another 10 loss season - his 5th in the past 10 years. Here's part of Clay's story from the Lex Herald/Leader:


Kentucky is not Kentucky.

Not the Kentucky we've known.

The Cats are 40-20 over the last two years. They are 16-11 in the SEC. They are 4-0 versus the West this year, 8-2 over the last two years. They are 8-9 against teams in their own division.

Then there's the best team in either division. In the last 98 minutes and 19 seconds on the court against the reigning national champion Florida Gators, UK has led for all of 1:22.

After last year's 22-13 struggle, Smith promised that changes would be made. "We're not going through another season like this, I promise you that," said the coach.

After 25 games last year, UK was 16-9 overall, 6-5 in the SEC. After 25 games this year, UK is 18-7 and 7-4.

I've always said we'll see changes in Lexington ONLY when the media starts criticing Tubby. Looks as if that's the 'good news' here. Keep it up John.

Corey Brewer and Chris Lofton fit the latter category. The Cats rejected Brewer on the basis of one bad workout, and the Gator now could easily be first-team All-SEC. Lofton was the opposite scenario. Despite seeing the former Mason County star play multiple times, UK retained the opinion that he lacked the complete game to play in the SEC. Instead, he could end up the league's player of the year.

Wins override recruiting mistakes. Losses magnify them. Kentucky has a nice freshman class this year. Tuesday, however, Tennessee had the best freshmen on the floor. Post men Wayne Chism and Duke Crews combined for 34 points, six rebounds, five blocked shots and four assists. And Tennessee won the game.

OUCH!!!
