it finally has clicked to me.....this coaching staff is straight from the 2000s. they still think its a different era where guys cant make 3s. so they sag and dont get out on shooters. rather protect the paint. this was a valid approach in 2009, but the game has evolved. they have no clue how defend modern basketball
How come Pope always has the sideline chick repeat her first question ??? It seems odd ...
They get waxed in prime time against Kansas, come out against NAU and have a commanding EIGHT point halftime lead. 
Yup, they may surpass my prediction of 11-14 losses fast.

BTW guys, wichita state is full of shooters and they’re small and quick. Don’t be surprised if we lose that one.
At this point, it is reasonable to conclude that Pope instructs our guys to leave people open for all 3-point attempts in the corner.
Some Kansas fans were convinced we're actually secretly pretty good and that we were just overreacting btw
The problem is a big switching out on him and a big can’t guard him. Quit switching!
At least we have 12 assists to 1 TO which is an improvement.
Moreno 0 boards outrebounded 17-9 overall
You’re giving them way too much credit. In your scenario, the coaches have a plan. In reality, they have no idea what they’re doing.
36 points is the most that you should give up in a half and that's borderline.
Anything over that and you just fking suck at defense really.
They got 37..
Everybody gets a turn on us.

I hope that things get so bad soon that when Pope comes out after the game to do the radio show with Tom Leach that the fans loudly boo him as he comes out, and throw all sorts of trash and bottles at him--including bottles of piss!
Our 4 men better step out and stop that! I mean hell let’s leave em wide open all game. Bold strategy.
Yes, just cant rebound.
That’s probably true, but we shouldn’t have to struggle in any half against this team…yet we are!
This time last year, I defended Pope like a family member. Now, I’d rather have Tom Crean.
That’s why they were tied with Louisville and USF for titles until very recently.
Rock chalk! Whatever the hell that means
I don’t know how, we shot like 15 times off no passes or one pass. Must have been the 3’s we made.
How does that even happen? Like what? He should get docked half his NIL for that.
We are not good, fundamentals are SO BAD. Just block out for a rebound.
At least our women’s team is good.
I’d love to know what we actually do in practice and game prep/film room study.
I remember when they didn’t do anything in March and couldnt beat UK. And all they could say was “Rupp played at Kansas”. It’s a national travesty that we’ve allowed them to win like 7 out of the last 9.
Maybe he'll be interesting in the men's coaching position when Pope is out lol.
Neither can 5 star recruits. Yeah I know he finally landed one, which makes him 1-35. So, spare me.
That was a depressing first half against a scrub team. Again getting burned on threes and rebounding is a joke. We should be up 25 points on these guys .
