Was It Just Me? Or.....

did it seem to you, that Tubby wanted this game more like he himself needed it for the sake of his job

[tayshaun]

He did need it for the sake of his job. He didn't get it though, so it's bye bye to Tubby.

i know from a fan's point of view he needed it, but i was thinking more on the lines of Mitch telling Tubby he needed it

If we won, we could have possibly held onto the #2 spot in the East, giving us a first round bye. It would have built up our confidence for the next 2 difficult games. It would have given us our first win over a ranked opponent. But, we ended up letting them outscore us by 11 in the second half.

Like I have posted before, It was a huge game. UK could end up 5th in the SEC East if they drop the next 2 ( WHICH IS A GOOD CHANCE ). They could be 19-11 ( SEC 8-8 ) and lose the first day of the SEC tourney and NOT MAKE THE NCAA tournament.

WOW!! This is @$#@$# unbelievable .... Sorry just can't get used to this being UK basketball.

7, I dont know if this game will cost him his job. We have had 8 years of the same. As I have said before, if the money is not put in jeopardy, his job is safe. tcot, I would agree with you. This is not UK basketball.
They just seem so out of sync and to a point, greedy. They have to understand this is a TEAM game. We are not playing as a team.

I agree that the past two seasons are unacceptable, but I don't understand 8 years of the same? How about a FT away from the Final Four two years ago? Or 26 straight wins four years ago?

If If's and And's were candy and nuts we'd all have a freakin merry christmas

Assuming that could be the case, maybe one good thing will in fact come from losing the game....

IMO though, he was more "in to it" because it was obvious how "not in to it" he was the game before and he likely heard about it....

BG, I stand corrected. Tubby has been here 10 years and was a final shot from the final 4, has a NC to his credit, and as stated a 24 game win streak. All fine and good. Great Job.

Or how about a 4 game losing streak to Vandy? Or how about a 5 game losing streak to Florida? Or how about a propable 5th place finish in the East? Or how about losing 13 games in one season? Or how about losing 12 or 13 the next season?

I'm sorry guy's but after the loss Sunday and with Ga. and Fla coming up this week. GOOD LUCK in the NCAA Tourney. Tubby want's too leave. He was told last year to get rid of his assistants last ear and he didn't do it. He wants to leave. TOM IZZO is the man

[apocalypse]

I would prefer to look around a little before we hire Tom. Big 10 basketball is not known for its fast breaking teams.

IMHO, yesterday will prove to be the biggest defeat in Coach Smith's career. The fall-out in the last 24 hours has been incredible.
