Could we not have just lost?! Why God?!! WHY?!!!

Glad we won. Still embarrassing.

This is the correct attitude. I’m never hoping for a loss. That’s silly. I might as well hope Pope figures it out and we win a championship.

But seriously this game was awful. We are going to lose plenty this season. I’m glad we won this one.

Does winning this game help Pope any

Last second 3? Nah, Batt needs to give him the walkin papers.

CUJO_1970 · 2026-11-13T20:00:52-0600

That would have been the best loss in program history and Wilkins ruined it.

RobEStacy · 2026-11-13T20:00:54-0600

Just a piss poor job by the players and staff... How you get the best shooter in the game and can't find ways to get him open... I'm still looking for a offense scheme... Nothing seems to be done to get him open other than a high screen at the top.... Zoom constantly looking for his.... Wilkens is a 2 guard not a point. Mason is better rhan Zoom but not elite.. What does Ndaye give us.... Hawthorn looks to shoot and forces every time in the game... Just such a poorly constructed roster..ever coach out there will use Mom as an example.... Best shooter in the land.... Can't get shots at UK... He needs to go... Bring Billy back.... Atleast he was entertainment at halftime and we got good stories out of him....

Drogon · 2026-11-13T20:01:01-0600

All Ive got to say after that is......

BEAT FLORIDA!!!!

I just can’t bring myself to hope we lose, but there’s absolutely nothing positive to take away from this game other than I guess narrowly avoiding the worst embarrassment since Gardner Webb. We could easily miss the tournament with what we’ve shown so far.

Pope won and lost. This sealed his fate.

blueblood2767 · 2026-11-13T20:02:33-0600

I would be curious if there has been secret behind the scenes communication between Billy Donovan and UK-

Someone broke into my house just now, and left me four UK basketball tickets. Hope the don’t come back and leave me four more

Lameguy · 2026-11-13T20:03:03-0600

Ky sucked tonight but the game actually was entertaining. Them hitting riculous 3s, the goaltend not called, Moreno falling down. Them choking then Wilkins 3

Kingslayer07 · 2026-11-13T20:03:38-0600

Are we even going to be top 10 in the SEC at this point??

How big what that uncalled goaltend...

AllBall · 2026-11-13T20:04:00-0600

UK had absolutely no business winning that ball game.
Went from Hope in Pope to Cope with Pope.

You all freak out 3-4 games into the season. Its crazy. We played bad and won. You want
To fire him so Fox can be the head coach.

you are a complete troll or idiot it’s one or the other

Why does Pope always get so lucky in these last second situations? Must be those Mormon powers or something.

Because the moron gets in these situations.

This team is absolutely terrible. We benefitted from a continuation call, a questionable block and them missing two bonus free throws.

Morneo tripping over his own feet out of bounds would have been the most Pope way to lose a game ever.

As I said before. I’ve never rooted against UK. But winning that game was the worst thing that could happen to this program right now. He needs to step down tonight. But he won’t because we won.

Ehhhh. One of two things happen. Either we win a whole lot of games, in which case good for us and Pope, or we lose a whole bunch of games and they end his career.

This game in no way increased the chances of Pope sticking around and if we struggle like this against the remainder of our schedule Pope is going to get the boot anyway.

More like holing out for 89 on 18 from 50 yards out to save par.

LineSkiCat14 · 2026-11-13T20:09:50-0600

Win/win: we keep Kansas at bay with a win and Pope couldnt have possibly looked worse while still somehow not losing, effectively another nail in his coffin.

And my Kegel exercises were on point

Pretty good night if you ask me!

Up there with the 1992 team for me. Just a gritty bunch. Gonna be scary come march.

By March MM may even be able to grab a rebound and stand upright.

It took a last second shot to win......just wow.

He's done.

IH8bluedevils · 2026-11-13T20:12:58-0600

Is that yahoo stat correct, we only had 16 total rebounds?

Okay, wtf ever, I don't care. I'll coach the team, but you can't let this continue.

I don't know what happened between year 1 and now, but Mark has to go.

I agree it can’t continue but please god don’t let Mark Fox take over. Give it to Mo.

I’d rather keep Pope till the end of the season than give that weasel reins to the Kentucky basketball program.

I'm not saying he gets the job, but someone has to coach the rest of the season.

Did anybody actually get excited when Wilkens hit that 3? That was the most ho hum shot I've every experienced

. If we lost, it would have gotten things into motion much faster. I definitely had mixed emotions.

A soon to be 1000 comment game thread. Those are usually reserved for losses. That's how bad tonight was.

Very conflicting shot. I just kinda laughed. Like wow that team got screwed kinda laugh.
