***** KENTUCKY @ VANDY GAME THREAD *****

[MidseasonTweak]

Too much self-reflection pre game garbage and not enough shootaround

 

[wccat]

Give Pope the extension . 5 year minimum

Ditch the Mitch already has the extension drawn up.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Well at least I'll go to bed early

Promise?

 

[Anon1759768907]

why did we recruit no one who can create any offense

 

[ChiefPaducah]

I can’t recall a team that comes out tighter than we do. I mean we look scared to death….of Vandy.

 

[wccat]

I like Moreno but man the guy needs work on conditioning.

 

[katwest]

Well when Moreno got his first shot blocked underneath, that is a bad sign. Then of course Vandy is all over them like flies on a rib roast and we can’t respond to it until it’s to late.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

I’d like to know what our winning percentage is with Jimmy Dykes the last two years, it can’t be good

 

[Farsight Clone]

What is Pope saying before the game? His pregame speech seems to be on par with his recruiting speech.

The CareBear Stare

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

Take them all out except 1 and throw in the next 4. Maybe they’ll play with some effort.

 

[TuesdayBoost]

Chance to tie and Chandler just chucks the ball away, because he was out of control.
Unbelievable how bad this team is in the first half of every game.
Do this on Saturday and we'll get smoked by 30.

Arky is gonna bring
it more than any other team this year better believe that. We probably fold.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

why did we recruit no one who can create any offense

He recruited them but couldn't land them.

 

[AllBall]

We survived their run now let's get some stops and attack the basket. No more middies.
Need a low post presence to score this game until things settle down.

 

[ala_kat2]

Is anybody surprised? This is their MO sadly.

 

[mash_24]

I really thought Popes teams would play disciplined, heady basketball and take advantage of other teams mistakes. They don’t. There is absolutely no identity to this team.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

first 2 possessions we forced it inside. that was the offensive game plan to start the game. 1 was a turn over. the 2nd a bad shot. once that failed....the team has no clue what its doing and its chaos.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

What do you know, fellas? Mark Pope didn't have his players prepared to start the game, cuz we never see that!

 

[NociHTTP]

Zero ball movement. You don't ******* stand there in the corner waiting for the ball. You help out your teammates and THEN run to the corner for the pass.

 

[Farsight Clone]

I like Moreno but man the guy needs work on conditioning.

Remember Pope doesn't do conditioning because he allows analytics to see when they are tired. SMH

 

[FreedomWallace]

Dioubate body language is sickening.

 

[AllBall]

Not sure why Jelavic has such a short leash. How can he get into any rhythm when he gets yanked after 2 minutes.

He had good positioning on his attempt. I say let him cook.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Vandy running the same play and Pope is just squinting

 

[TuesdayBoost]

That pg is killing us. Making it look easy

 

[mash_24]

Jesus Christ this team is so unprepared night after night.

 

[MbergCat]

Coach really had us ready to go...

 

[UKWildcats1987]

What do you know, fellas? Mark Pope didn't have his players prepared to start the game, cuz we never see that!

.we aren't down 10 yet Saul lol

It reminds you of the dollar store version of CCC's last 5 years

 

[kyjeff1]

This is just terrible coaching and another example of how bad Pope is at preparing his team to play games.

 

[wccat]

VU coach figured out Offensive Guru Pope's single inbounds play.

 

[Anon1759768907]

this looks exactly how the arkansas game could look

 

[megablue]

I would take Tanner in a heartbeat.

 

[Kameron50]

Same crap every single game.

 

[Cats4321]

We look like the Kentucky team from a month ago so far. Terrible basketball.

 

[NociHTTP]

there is an identity to this team. They fight back no matter the deficit. Would be nice if the identity became keep the game close and then blow out the team the second half.

 

[Kingslayer07]

Holy fk we bad

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

lol

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Ok now down 11. Another mark Pope special.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

took 7 minutes to get down double digits. thanks pope.

Chandler can't handle the ball folks. It's his kryptonite.

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

Promise?

Definitely
