Dunkface: I don't think they took them for granted. The Cats shot poorly and shooting like that isn't going to win games. They had a great season. Glad you took pleasure from seeing them lose.
What happened last nite could only be attributed to the opening clip of both squads before they hit the floor. West virginia guys are solemn and low key....concentrating on what is ahead. UK guys were dancing, laughing and loose. You know Loose isnt always the best to be before you play some serious ball. I dont relish any one losing the game with all that talent but I feel like the unexperienced youth of KY caught up with them. They were FUN to watch but just lost their focus of the big picture. Look at Butler...look at Baylor they dont have any draft picks and they are in the conversation!
This game had nothing to do with the kids not concentrating or what they were doing before the game. Kentucky just couldn't hit the basket, you don't make shots - you don't win... especially when the other team is shooting lights out from beyond three like WVU did.
Don't take your opponent for granted Cats....you see what happens! Nice choke jobs Cayuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGoing from losing in the second round of the NIT to the elite of the NCAA in one year is not a bad swing. Still disappointing though
