Concerned Fans Tubby on SEC Team To Beat

CONCERNED FANS FOR

BASKETBALL

TUBBY SMITH SAYS
NEW PRACTICE FACILITY IS
REASON FOR RECENT LOSING

Thank you Tubby for clarifying for all UK fans that the reason UK has lost 5 of its last 8 SEC games is because of the team's recent move into the new $30 million practice facility. Concerned Fans are sure that Mr. Craft will be well pleased that his personal $6 million contribution that enabled you to complete the facility this season has had such a positive impact upon the program that he loves.

Good is not good, when better is expected.

Here is your statement as provided to us in the Lexington Herald-Leader on February 20, 2007, the day of the LSU game at Rupp.

On the magnitude of this game…Tubby Smith

Joe Craft's fault?

In trying to find the reason for UK's 3-5 record in the last eight games, Smith asked himself a question.

"What's been different?" he said. "The only difference is we practice in a different place. I'll be honest, we haven't played (well) since we've been over here. I'm not making excuses. Guys get used to certain routines."

Thank you Tubby for verifying for UK fans worldwide that you believe that UK's recent losing, five of the last eight games, is due to a new practice facility and not due to the increased quality of the opposition as compared to the first 18 games of this season. Concerned Fans have feared since you announced the schedule for this season that UK might incur many losses over these last 12 games because the competition is simply better than the team you are able to put on the floor. It is so good to know that you see it differently.

Whether you, Mr. Barnhart, or Dr. Todd choose to read or ignore the internet, the Big Blue Nation does not ignore the internet, neither do members of the National Press.
