It happens to a lot of good teams in the early going, not just UK. Teams haven't jelled, etc. Yeah, it sucks for UK fans, but really, it may not mean a thing in February.Originally Posted by BUTLER REDSFAN

I was just licking my wounds from the Basketball buckeyes being beat by Findlay...then I saw UK's score...OUCH!!!!
Of course The Buckeyes have all new starters...and UK has a new coach so both losses could be chalked up to putting into practice what has been being taught in the gym.
"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
If you guys think Tubby would have landed Patterson, then you are CRAZY. He was on the list, but he was almost guaranteed to go to Florida/Duke before BG.
We were on the list because we have a well known basketball school near WV, and he liked Rupp Arena.
In recent seasons, they've lost a shocking game in the first week or two of the season and then lost 11 or 12 times the rest of the season.
The reason Tubby left was due to a lack of recruiting success. I don't think anyone ever really complained about his ability to prepare and coach a team.
Until Billy can transition the team to his type of players there are going to be bumps along the way.
Then there was a lot of crazy people out there. Many scouting services had him pegged for UK before Tubby left.
Florida was the expected front runner.
He wasn't "pegged" for anywhere, he never listed his #1. As for Lucas, he stated that he wanted to follow Patterson, but he committed too early and picked Florida (where he thought PP would go)
Not sure I can agree with that. Tubbster outrecruited Kevin Stallings but couldn't find a way to beat the Dores the last couple years.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I am not worried. From where I stand, all that matters is three weeks in March.
I have a feelin the football cats may spend more weeks in the top 25 this season than the basketball cats.
What I like is that there is two weeks before Kentucky plays again. Plenty of time for Billy Clyde to run them to death before they take the hardwood.
I am not worried but realistic.Billy G will get the most out of them he can but he just doesnt have a lot to work with, "yet" !
One good thing is Meeks will come around (you got to think so anyway) and Legion has a nice shot. Patterson is a gem. Crawford/Bradley will have their good spurts as well as spending bench time for lack of defense/concentration/leadership etc.
The cats schedule has several "wins" but problem is, last night was supposed to be one.
I think Patterson's going to be great. I (and most down here) was sure he was heading to UF.
Considering the type of season UK is expected to have (average at best), losses to Gardner Webb on the resume can keep you out of the big show in March.
