Horrible put together just not enough talent
“Before I leave I’d like to see our politics begin to return to the purposes and practices that distinguish our history from the history of other nations,
“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”
-Patriot and Senator. John McCain
@coreyp08: For just the second time since Rupp Arena opened in 1976-1977, Kentucky is 2-3 through their first 5 home games of a season (1988-1989)

@MattNorlander: We go live tonight to the streets of Tuscaloosa after Alabama men’s basketball hands Kentucky its worst home loss in the John Calipari era and wins at Rupp Arena for the first time in 15 years to remain undefeated in the SEC. https://twitter.com/MattNorlander/st...510980/photo/1
@JonRothstein: Observations from Alabama/Kentucky:
1. Nate Oats has completely changed his team's demeanor since the Western Kentucky loss.
2. Alabama is flourishing despite several key injuries.
3. Kentucky has regressed following Saturday's performance at Florida. https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/sta...07015755837448
@ChrisFisher247: Alabama is a good team, maybe the best in the SEC, but Kentucky with a clear step back tonight. Progress is rarely linear.
@markcstory: Kentucky’s Keion Brooks tells UK Radio’s Mike Pratt ‘We got punked at the rim.’
@JonRothstein: Reminders of how hard it is to win:
1. John Calipari and Bill Self --- two Hall-of-Famers --- have each suffered the worst home losses of their respective current tenures this season.
2. Michigan State is 2-4 in Big Ten play.
3. Duke's best win is at Notre Dame, who is 3-7.
@johnclayiv: John Calipari: "Not one of our players didn't play well. Obviously I didn't coach well." Says he told team he's going to find five guys who will fight and play them. #BBN #ukbasketball
@JDrumUK: Calipari: "We reverted. I'm not sure I'm even going to watch this tape. On to the next one."
@markcstory: Calipari: ‘Let me ask you: Did we have anybody who could stay in front of anybody?’
@JDrumUK: Calipari: "We didn't get it to Olivier. We showed them at halftime five times where he was open, and we didn't get it to him. Or he was in a dogfight and we threw it then, so he couldn't get it."
@KyleTucker_ATH: Calipari on Bama: “One of their players at the end asked me, ‘What’s the score?’ I said, ‘You know what it is.’ " He laughed. Said Tide came right at UK. "When you’re getting clubbed, you got no confidence."
@JDrumUK: Calipari asked can he beat a team like this as constructed... Can't go 4-for-18 from 3. "Maybe we're not a good 3-point shooting team."
@johnclayiv: Calipari: "First half they made 10 (threes). They were either uncontested or we were late getting there." #BBN #ukbasketball
@KyleTucker_ATH: Asked Calipari if he can beat a time(team) that plays like Bama as his own team is currently constructed. He went on a thing about how they took 18 3-pointers and only made four, so should they have taken 25 to make six?
Huh.
Says UK could've taken advantage inside, failed to.
That's the part he just doesn't seem to get. If you see the post right underneath yours, it makes it even clearer that the question was very pointed, that Kentucky doesn't have three point shooters, and maybe we should have them. Calipari just glossed over it. Surely to goodness he understands and gets it by now. Surely he does.
I learned a long time ago that when someone says surely, it means they're not sure.
@DrewFranklinKSR: Kentucky layups: 8-18 (44.4%)
Alabama 3-pointers: 14-30 (46.7%)
Goodbye.
Starting to feel myself like at the end of the tubby era. Games just do not have the same meaning.
I think I'm going to call it a night myself, guys. I do think the truth of Kentucky basketball is somewhere between this game and the Florida game and we can reach the Florida game more often this year. It's still not going to be a good year. But I will be here, good or bad, as always. They're my team. See you guys in the morning.
It’s no longer the game is passing Cal by.
It is now passing Kentucky by. Kentucky is a pick-up truck on leaded fuel playing in a hybrid world. This program is a Radio Shack Tandy computer in the internet age. We are as Cal is.
We are Indiana
Or close
