8-6 start is on the way?

Kentucky basketball has enough issues currently without you posting stupid accusations on here or implying players are gambling and throwing games. That is the point. Move on or ignore me but your posts were uncalled for and I am sure others on here will agree. Enough said.

Oh and I am not the one calling people stupid for simply asking how you know or are you just spreading sh*t. It was obviously spreading sh*t. Good day lmao

We play the Zags in Nashville.

I know! Just driving down and back for that one. I failed to mention that I’m also going to the St. John’s game in Atlanta and staying for the weekend. That’s where the hotel breakdown came from. That’s very much up in the air now

Wow. Travel safe! I’ll be at the Zags game (maybe unfortunately) lol

Oweh would be removed from the team if it were me. I don’t care what he was paid. He’d be called in and told he’s no longer on the team, and I’d tell him we’re also letting the NBA know everything that happened so you can’t go there and pull the same sht. After what this organization did for you, you’ve shown you’re a pitiful person and you’re not welcomed back at UK ever. Get out and stay out.

I think that is a little hardcore but specially since you have no idea if he is 100% nor if he is even an issue. We have a year of data with him already and he was fine so this whole he’s the problem is hearsay.

IU sucks.

They will beat our brains in the way we are playing right now. I’ve watched them 3 times already and they play like we did last year. Plus have two elite shooters.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Wilkerson may score 30+

Devries will 100%.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

If we lose all six big games before SEC play, lose Bama, then the chance of making tournament is pretty low unless miracle

I can not understand how we beat Purdue? How it change so fast in just one month

Something must be happen behind the scenes, can Pope still control locker room?

Because that game didn’t count and nobody cares about it. It was an exhibition, not a real game. Did you see Purdue in the actual season. They would kill us.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Yeah. Look at Ticketmaster for games this Friday. My section would usually go for about $150 ticket. The going price now- $75 per

I looked earlier this year because we wanted to go. Even mediocre upper lower level and bottom of upper level were 150+ for Eastern Michigan type teams. Everything else was 300+ for most games. Now I bet I could really afford some.

If he’s the problem. It’s really just hypothetical but I do believe he’s one of the problems. I’ve had some issues watching him for a while. If he’s not the problem then of course I’d apologize without effort and feel terrible for it. I do not know that he is the problem or that he’s done anything wrong. But if it’s true that he is, it’s enough of this is send him packing.

And I’ve never wanted to be wrong about a player more than this, but I would be shocked if he’s completely up and up and no issue. But again it’s heresy and suspicion.

I didn’t accuse him as a fact. I said I’ve been suspicious of it. You are still running your mouth and adding your interpretation which did not happen. I’ve said repeatedly that I don’t know it to be true. I’m allowed to say a suspicion. It’s been said by more than one. It was said routinely last season as some bizarre things happen on the court. But also it’s been bizarre for many players. So yes you’ve said enough and you’ve said enough dead wrong without adding the “he’s not being definitive” to it so you can have more for effect. Not working here buddy. I’d say you can shut up now.

I believe things have happened and if wrong then that’s fine. There is no proof so I’m not being definitive about it. Hell, look around all fanbases, gambling is a huge problem right now and many flat out say it. I don’t. Bark at them.

If I’m wrong in that suspicion then of course I would easily apologize for even thinking it possible. But it is what it is. Main point anyway about dismissal is about ATTITUDE and team cancer not what you keep on blabbering.

That game does not count

But it seems that the team loves each other in Purdue game

But one month later, there are huge chemistry issues

What happend

I will shut up when I am good and ready. Not when you tell me

Idk but whatever happened ruined this team.

If we lose to Indiana I'm placing the for sale sign in Pope's yard myself

Place two more for me as well. I would but I don’t feel like driving the 10 round trip.

 

[ZaytovenCat]

I don’t know anything obviously I’m not there. I have my opinion on the matter. And if he’s not then I apologize for thinking it, but I haven’t trusted something about it since last season. Obviously, I am not privy to know anything which you are well aware.

And I would absolutely apologize for event thinking it’s possible but im
Suspicious of it with anyone these days. There was just a report of it happening at UNO. I’m sure it’s happening other places too.

My point about dismissal was aimed at his ATTITUDE. If he’s the cancer I’d remove him.

I’m hoping it’s someone else like a Lowe or Johnson that’s the problem child and Owen is acting the way he is because he’s pissed that it’s being allowed to happen. I also really like Oweh so it would bother me if he’s the problem as well.

As for point shaving, you almost have to be suspicious of anyone who is clearly underperforming without there being an obvious reason after all the players in college and the nba who have been caught gambling and point shaving the last year or two. Just makes me wonder how much wasn’t caught over the last 30 years cause you know it didn’t just start happening.

Then, our whole team was point shaving last night lol. I gotta admit, pretty impressive, they shaved over 20.5 points

Yea and again, no accusing definitively at all. But I watched two games last year that, well, I see no way what happened would happen. Maybe it did but I believed what I saw was that. Again, serious accusation and I really like him so being wrong there in that supposed assumption is what I would prefer.

Absolutely no evidence other than my opinion through the eye. He could just as easily be clean of it. If I went a little too far last night, and I don’t remember all out accusing, that’s not my intention. Nobody should believe anything 100% based off of anything other than facts. Surely not my suspicions. I have no way of knowing the truth and hope those suspicions are misguided. Hey, they probably are.

This place is hilarious. They aren't going to lose all of those games. May not win them all but no chance in hell they lose them all.
This place never ceases to amaze me at the overreaction. Beat Purdue people immediately start saying it is a final 4 team. Look terrible and lose a couple. Then all I read is how they are going to lose every game against a power conference.
They are not close to being as bad as they played lately. This never was a serious title contender. But it will turn things around and likely be another sweet 16 type of team.
Pope can coach. You people overlook what he did last year. Most wins against ranked teams in program history. This team is at least as talented as last years squad. Doesn't shoot it as well. But Pope will figure it out.
He does however need to land a 5 star Freshmen mixed with some good returning players and a couple elite transfers in order to be a serious title contender.
I am not worried about his coaching. I am a bit concerned about his recruiting. I think if he can land a 5 star recruit. Then others will sign in following years. But he has to get 1 to get the ball rolling.

Have you not seen us get our head kicked in everytime we’ve played a team with a pulse since Purdue? Yes, they absolutely can’t lose all those games. They’re failing on aspects of the game. They can’t defend, they can’t shoot and they don’t like each other. Unless there’s a miraculous turnaround in the next 2-3 weeks then this team is very likely missing the tournament.
