Cal is a devoted Catholic, goes to mass daily. He’s prayed for this **** to happen. We are cursed. Someone better call Ed and Lorain, cause we got an spirit that needs exorcised
The combined message board has caused the ghost of the Bear Curse to rear his ugly football head.

Absolutely getting destroyed on the boards. Pope assembled a team that he cannot get them to do anything well.
Yeah, but then the next game, they play 10 times better.
It was the same crap last year too. Play a good all around game, then play like crap. That's on the coaches.

What I don’t understand:

Last game we were blitzing ball screens and getting level defensively. Why are we right back to prevent defense? Our offense needs the boost of aggression on D. It’s beyond baffling
The players just got fed up Saturday and played hard and like they were at the Y.

They went back to being coached tonight.

There is absolutely nothing Pope does well at coaching.

He has not only ruined this team, he has ruined these players.

two players hurt and he is playing what 9 players?

would he be playing 11 if JQ and Lowe were healthy?

this isn't a 9 man rotation team at Jan 14.

It’s a sad day for Kentucky basketball, we have a 20 million dollar roster and can’t beat a dime store team. Between this last football season and this basketball season this has been one of the worst for programs that were pretty good a short time ago. The football team WILL be better, don’t know when the basketball will under the current staff.

he can't let the inmates run the asylum. Bench these guys, play the scrubs, then after UK loses, throw them under the bus for having zero interest in playing hard every game

If Mark Pope has any integrity, he will step down at the end of the season.

He's not wanted here anymore.
On the way home in the jet, based on how this game is going so far. I’m not even sure I’m exaggerating. This is just really not acceptable.

given our history of second half play and how horrible LSU is, we could still win this game

but wouldn't anyone care at this point?

My high school basketball team played a much much more advanced offense than whatever we are trying to run . How would you ever expect to get anyone open . Pass wait two to three seconds for defenses to adjust . Pass again . Same . Ok I get it . We are trying to isolate and go one on one . But we don’t have the horses to do that .
I was for Pope‘s hire . Love him . But this is not working .
if JMI is reason we can’t recruit we need to 1)Fire Barnhart And 2) announce to the world we can’t recruit because of JMI . File suit for fraud in the inducement . Raise so much hell JMI has to take the provisions in the contract destroying our recruiting . Otherwise our publicity Will destroy their company . As long as we simply tell the truth about the contract we won’t have to fear a defamation suit . Truth is a complete defense .

Pitino must be skipping mass then, need him to offset Cal's prayers.

Honest, what percentage of true UK fans are good with him coming back: I would say it’s higher than we would think. Probably like 60%.
I was. There are issues with these guys that aren’t even basketball related. And Pope either can’t or refuses to do anything about it. We can’t have that. He has to go.
