Man this team is hard to watch play. So careless with the ball, they don’t share the ball, don’t understand how to post up, don’t understand spacing, and terrible on ball defenders.

I can’t watch any longer. I’ll set the DVR and watch it in fast forward. Time to watch the Cavs and Celtics.

Trey, you surely can't tell me that you watch NBA ball? Talk about boring!

I'll take a terrible UK game over a bunch of cry baby over paid ball players!

There is no way I would watch an NBA game and turn away from our Cats playing on live TV. It might not be pretty right now but even an ugly win is prettier than any NBA game, EVER. The only professional sport I watch on TV is golf, will not watch the NBA or NFL.

The second half was a thing of beauty. We got what we need - two guys who take over a game with the rest of the guys being capable role players. Shai and PJ dominated in the second half. The other guys came up big at key times with rebounds and such. If we can just play an entire game like we did in the second half, we would be world-beaters!

Sometimes one basketball just isn't enough for this team, and that's when we play bad. When we have just one or two guys who take control, we're a tough team to beat.

I do, I love the NBA game again. I actually don’t watch any college games anymore that don’t involve UK (I did watch Duke vs MSU and I caught the first half of Oklahoma and WSU a few weeks ago) I think the college game is terrible at the moment.

I just finished watching the second half this morning. Much better effort by UK. They still had some lapses but overall the played much better in the second half.

I thought I would never be in this position but I am with this team. I just think they are very hard to watch. It’s easier on my health to watch them on tape.

The only player I enjoy watching on this team is Alexander. I will say that as much as Gabriel has driven me crazy during his first year and a half, he has been my second favorite player to watch the last 3 games.

This team is beginning to get it on the offensive side of the ball - the defensive end is where we are getting killed. How we continue to allow guys to go by us, especially with the length we have, is perplexing to me.

There were a number of times last night where they did play decent defense only to give up a rebound by not finding their man and boxing out, giving LSU another shot. Fortunately for us, it was a mediocre LSU team we played. Had it been a more elite team, those mistakes would have cost us an "L".

I'm afraid this is what we will see all season long unless they decide to change. Nothing but garbage ball is what I call it. Both teams making mistakes and the team who gets it together a little bit at the end gets the W. I still feel we will only lose 3 SEC games but the way we play you can never tell, we could win only 3 more games. God forbid! Knox did start to shoot a little better. I never seen so many guys just stop when their man goes by them. Are they thinking someone under the basket is going to stop their man? This team is afraid to get in front of a man due to the refs calling them for blocking. Still see a 25-5 season.
