Matthew Mitchell has been a head coach for a decade now.Losing hasn’t gotten any easier for him in that time.”It’s just misery, man,” Mitchell said. “I don’t know how to describe it other than it’s just miserable. I’m no fun to be around.”Mitchell got his most recent reminder of how unpleasant it is to lose on Thursday night. No. 10 Kentucky (16-5, 5-3 Southeastern Conference) dropped a 73-72 heartbreaker to No. 6 Tennessee, missing four potential game winners in the final 16 seconds.Afterward, Mitchell spent some time sulking, but not too much. “You can fuss and mull it over and stew and fume at the house like I did last night for three or four hours and then you gotta get up this morning and turn the page, man,” Mitchell said. “You gotta get going because this game is in front of us and that one last night is behind us.”The page turned, UK is on to Georgia. The Wildcats better be.”We’re playing a Georgia team that will beat our tail if we don’t get ready for them. It’s a wonderful thing from that standpoint,” Mitchell said. “If you want to hang your head right now, Georgia will be more than happy to take advantage of that.”The No. 21/20 Lady Bulldogs enter Sunday’s 1 p.m. matchup with UK at Memorial Coliseum 17-4 (5-3 SEC). The Cats will be Georgia’s third straight top 10 foe after the Lady Bulldogs beat Texas A&M on Jan. 22 and lost at Tennessee on Sunday.Georgia played the final 22:42 of that game without leading scorer Shacobia Barbee. Barbee will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a broken bone in her lower right leg. The Cats, only weeks removed from losing Janee Thompson to a season-ending injury as well, can relate.”It just takes away an extremely talented, experienced, tough player that can affect the game defensively, on the rebounding, the scoring,” Mitchell said. “She’s just a really outstanding player for them. It’s just absolutely horrible for that kid. It’s horrible for anybody to have a season-ending injury.”Since Georgia had an open date on Thursday, Mitchell isn’t sure exactly how Barbee’s absence will affect the Lady Bulldogs. What he does know is they’ll be ready come Sunday.”If I needed somebody to figure it out, Coach (Andy) Landers is probably as good as anybody to figure it out,” Mitchell said. “So they’ll be ready. They’ll play real hard. They’ll be tough. They will know how to attack us and what our weaknesses are and they’ll put stress on that.”Similarly focused on UK’s weaknesses are the Cats themselves.UK played the No. 6 Lady Vols to just a made shot or foul call away from a victory in spite of 19 turnovers and a still-developing group of young post players. As difficult as it might be for Mitchell to remember, that’s a reminder of what the Cats are capable of.”With this team, we don’t have any time to waste,” Mitchell said. “I really do think we’re improving. I really do. I think we’re getting better. I think we’re headed in the right direction. I think this team has a chance to be really good. That’s what we need to stay focused on right now, just fight for improvement every day.”
