I know how you feel. You and I exchanged our respective opinions here last weekend. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we beat Arky on the road.
Either way, this was my point on the SEC. Regardless of the number of teams we get in, we just aren't a good conference. Our third best team, A&M, has zero top 50 RPI wins. IMO, If UK played in a top 3 conference they would carry a crooked number of losses. Again, just my opinion and I wouldn't be surprised if they ran the table from here. The talent in the conference is getting better, but we are a long way away from elite.
I'm going to refrain from picking apart our effort tonight, but our coaches need to look in the mirror long and hard. I would be ashamed to take a paycheck after I let a team walk on the court with that mental approach with so much on the line. While I understand the logic behind the Darcy project, it was a failure early. We should have cut that line a month ago and tried different solutions. We might as well play 4 against 5. I can only assume the coaches are seeing something in practice to dictate otherwise, but that brings me to one of the biggest gaps between the SEC and other conferences.....practice squads. I'm not going to bash the players or coaches. Let's just pray we upset Arky on the road.
Not being a pessimist, but even if we find our way to the tournament this team is going no where. You can draw your own conclusions, but for whatever reasons their mental ability cannot handle it. When we NEED to score, we go through severe droughts, throwing up absolute prayers(if we haven't thrown the ball away by then).
I will say this, thank you Hornsby. You have been the consummate college player. Your effort is why we come to the games. A few more of you and we are dancing.
