Once again, white doesn't believe scoring is important in the second half. No excuse to lose a lead like that against a team with top 2 players not playing.

At least the cats didn't beat us in football.

Not saying White is blameless but for THIS game...Blackshear going out with an injury and the players making stupid decisions and not converting is what lost the game. Today, Whites coaching was solid and put us in position to beat Kentucky.

And they've been under-performing for 3 seasons now. At what point is it White's fault?
It's been his fault the whole time. We have fans and admin. that are either dumb or don't give rat's ass that White is a complete moron when it comes to coaching big time basketball. Just read the above post. This is the last great class this loser is going to get. What kid would want to play for this guy? How the fk do you lose an 18 pt lead at home? Fire this guy for christ sake!

Horrible loss. Some terrible calls down the stretch but total meltdown. We had 20 rebounds the entire game. Richards destroyed us inside the 2nd half. Minimized turnovers all game until the end collapse.

How do you come from 20+ down, and win, twice? Alabama at home and Georgia on the road.

Walking out of game now. This is why I turned down free tickets this year. Why didn't we play our key player the last 10 minutes of game when Kentucky scored almost every time down the court and we couldn't score??

Ah blackshear was injured I didn't know that. Makes sense. Still horrible ending. Fire him.

Blackshear? He was injured. Left hand, in the first half.

Who’s our key player?

Blackshear?

He hurt his wrist and honestly he was hurting us when he was playing

At some point you just can’t defend this. This is an identity of White’s teams, they’re soft and don’t know how to close.

We were up 18 and my wife says I should be happy lol little did she know what I know and what we all know.

I’ve never been overly impressed with Blackshears game and I think his foot is in worse shape than anyone admits. But he is steady, somewhat consistent and rebounds. He had 5 boards in what amounts to about 1 Qtr of playing time. The whole rest of the team had 15 over the entire game. That’s crazy.

For the record, White is now 4-18 in the regular season against tourney teams the last 2 seasons. THAT is coaching, not players under-performing. There is no excuse for that kind of record with the talent he has had.

Blackshear went out with the injury and UK force fed the ball inside just about every time and scored 8 straight times on layups against Payne and Jitaboh. UK also got 9 fouls called on us and not a SINGLE foul call on UK the final 10 min of the game. NEVER seen that before while we were driving the ball inside and not one single call for us.

In basketball, we shouldn't be compared to bamuh and ugaly. Billy raised our expectations and white is doing a great job at killing the program. Thank goodness Billy's banners can never be taken away.
