The Kentucky Wildcats lose yet another one, this time a total heartbreaker to Arkansas, 81-80. For the first time all season long, Kentucky drilled a go-ahead bucket with 12 seconds to play thanks a three from Davion Mintz. Unfortunately, the very next trip Kentucky later was called for a foul, and the Razorbacks hit two free throws to take back the lead.
Kentucky then tried to take it the length of the court with 4 seconds left, but also let Olivier Sarr, their 7-0 center, dribble the ball up the court which ended up in Sarr just giving the ball to Arkansas, literally.
It was a great effort from Kentucky, but they just made some poor decisions on the offensive end as they have all season. The same song and dance.

I feel sorry for these dudes man. It’s just one thing after the other

They deserve something good to happen for them

It's my job and I'm not sure how much more I can watch this season.

That is an amazing stat by @CoachJimmyDykes

Kentucky has had a 2nd Half lead in 13 of 17 games
And we are 5-12
Reached that point in the season where I don't really see the sense in beating Cal up for substitution patterns and in-game decisions because he's (sometimes too slowly) tried pretty much all of it and none of it works to last

at this point, the only reason I watch Kentucky is out of morbid curiosity to see how bad it can get

Watching Kentucky’s offense is certainly 40 minutes of hell

Just let Kentucky and Duke play a best of 7 series after the season and sell tickets. Will be horrible basketball but would make a ton of money

If Kentucky makes 11+ threes and somehow loses this game by double-digits we are officially a football school until further notice.

John Calipari's next two months should be an all-out blitz to make sure that Junior Keion Brooks is a thing.
— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_ATH) February 10, 2021
I think Junior Keion could look a lot like Sophomore PJ.
Pat Adams lives for an opportunity to head to the monitor and disrupt the game.

Isaiah Jackson has SIX fouls in the box score. So he fouled out and ... earned an extra tech.
— Kyle Tucker (@KyleTucker_ATH) February 10, 2021
Can we add Isaiah Jackson's two points to the scoreboard or no @SEC
— Drew Franklin (@DrewFranklinKSR) February 10, 2021
that ain’t no tech on jackson. smh.

Took Kentucky three months and a dozen losses to realize Sarr isn't Shaq
— Justin Rowland (@RowlandRIVALS) February 10, 2021
They should never post Olivier Sarr again. Pick and pop if you're going to use him. Let him face the basket.

STOP SHOWING THE CROWD WE ARE SAD ENOUGH RIGHT NOW

That was about the opposite of “One Shining Moment” as it gets.
