All the coaching in the world is no good if players don't make plays. That flagrant foul sequence is one example. The half-dozen or more missed layups are another. The failure to secure a few more defensive rebounds and loose balls were others. The team actually ran more plays on offense, more successfully, than at any time so far this season. The Vols went toe-to-toe with the program and at the place that has frustrated a variety of UT coaches--and lots of others, for that matter--for decades if not generations. This Vol team is not dead yet. This particular crop of UK "one-and-dones" is not likely to win a championship; last year's crop was lightning in a bottle, not a formula to ensure championships. No one else has succeeded with that formula, only UK under Calapari would even try it, and it may not work for him again.

I had hoped UT would compete and not let the officials take them out of the game..I thought UT did that as much as possible..re: missed layups by Golden and the numerous stupid decisions he made..senseless..he looked lost on defense..if this is due to him being hurt..have to get him off the floor till he heals..your observation that UT ran more plays on offense is right on..as for UK..some forget Cal has won only ONE championship with all the talent he has had..and the team he had last year was not led by just "one and dones"..Miller and Lamb were the guys who stepped up in the clutch and proved to be the leaders that won it for KY..this Ky team has no Lamb and Miller but are highly talented..they have lost several close games to outstanding teams..including #1 Louisville..and I still think they make the big show..I did like the way the young Vols fought and did not quit..
