Game effort. Just not enough firepower with the injuries. They can pull an upset on given night but no way to make a deep tournament run unless they get fully healthy. As much as I love our freshmen, you ain't making a deep March run if you have to depend on them for as many minutes as they are getting right now. It's get healthy or go home early in tournament play.

Agree! I'm not in panic mode yet. At least not unless they say Robinson and Butler won't return. I am impressed with how well we stay in some of these and even win some. Next game is Oklahoma which I am hoping gets us back on track. If we can continue to survive in some of these games and get Robinson and Butler healthy while doing it then great. We need them come tournament time or we will be short lived. It would be good to see them come back at least the last couple games if not by next week. If they return healthy I like our chances of a deep run. If they do not, we will be lucky to win a game come tournament time. Can't count them out though, they do have some big wins with guys out but hard to be consistent without the top two guys on the floor.

What did you all think of the officiating in this one? I see a lot of complaining online by BBN. One guy is even calling for Mitch to file a grievance with the SEC. Gotta love this fanbase.

Great effort given what we were up against. Not bummed out by this result because it could have been much worse. No way that the officials kept Kentucky from winning.

It is hard to win on the road in the SEC against the #4 ranked team shorthanded and get a horrible game from Oweh. Plus two of your top guards are out. Then on top of that give up 38 points in the paint and 24 points off of Kentucky's turnovers.

Well said OSH. I agree 110%

This team with its talent level will struggle the rest of the way. It just is what it is.
