BB: Kentucky @ LSU Game Thread

the announcers

LSU did not do a great job controlling the game

just say what everyone is watching. Kentucky played an horrendous half of basketball, historically bad and it has nothing to do with LSU

If Mitch Barnhart continues to be our AD we will become the next Indiana/UCLA in basketball. Pope has to go. Barnhart can’t be the AD that makes our next hire.

 

[FreedomWallace]

Hey Mitch!!!

Sign Pope to a lifetime contract!!

 

[Zuma75]

Yeah, but then the next game, they play 10 times better.
It was the same crap last year too. Play a good sll around game, then play like crap. That's on the coaches.

The inconsistency in performance from game to game is like I’ve never seen. Even from one half to the next of the same game (see Gonzaga least season). It would be totally in form for them to play a great second half in this game. Just bizarre.

 

[OleTiredBum]

what a complete embarrassment. wow. it's hard to think that things can get this much worse but it appears that it will.

 

[Seth_C]

Aberdeen leading the team in minutes with no points, no rebounds and 1 assist. Genius Pope pure genius.

But how many times did he make that face that’s 50% confused and 50% “I’m better than you”? That’s worth more than scoring or rebounding.

 

[megablue]

First 5 minutes of half are key

 

[Kattonik]

Final answer on jeopardy was Cambridge.

 

[kfwa]

Oh no this one has comeback that falls short and we’re all even more frustrated at the end written all over it

I agree

 

[Argonaut]

Meanwhile LSU has a higher standard for their basketball program than we do.

 

[megablue]

We're simply not a good club.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

That was the hardest half of basketball I’ve had to watch for Kentucky basketball in a long, long time.
Depressing

It gets worse

 

[Blue Jesus]

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%.

At this point I'm very skeptical he has what it takes, but I'm also resigned to the fact that he will be back next year. With that in mind I'm being optimistic and saying he'll actually recruit a team that matches the style he's meant to coach and we'll see a competitive team again next year.

Another discord plug a lot of you all have came over - https://discord.gg/HWhDG7F4

How do I mentally prepare for year 3 mark pope.

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

They have to keep the deficit at 15 until the last five minutes. Do yall not see Pope on the sideline. He knows the other coach doesn’t even see it coming

Go about your winter and spring next year as if the sport doesn’t exist.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I get in the Discord but cant figure out where to find the game chat.

Fantasy world Jesus. The guy isn't winning anything that matters Here

 

[Argonaut]

Oweh looks like he gives zero f*cks.

just think of all the elite talent we have coming in

Oxycotton or hydros just don’t get hooked

 

[kyjeff1]

We don't even put our hands up on defense. Now MM picked up a 3rd foul 30 seconds in because he didn't have his hands up.
They teach you that in 2nd grade gym class. Damn.

 

[JSquad0070]

Truthfully, how do transfers and recruits see this and say they want to be here next year if Pope is the coach? I get money is involved but so are careers and pro potential.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

LSU is bad enough that we can still win this game.

 

[TX Wildcat]

At least it is almost BatCat season.

F these Cats!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I don't blame Stokes for going to KU (likely).

 

[true-blue1]

We need to press!!!

 

[Vek96]

We are plying so bad that I keep waiting for the LSU fans to boo us

 

[chattanogawildcat]

50% from the line!

You don’t. You quit and give up on Kentucky basketball for a few years.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Ask the refs

 

[OleTiredBum]

somebody write us a ****** AI song!! help us all "feel better" and **** like that.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Pope not playing Jelavic for 4 out of 6 games should be all you need to know about if Pope can turn this around

I recommend an island somewhere, perhaps in Greece. Don’t bring a computer. Enjoy life knowing you won’t be missing anything you’d actually want to see.

 

[JSquad0070]

Let’s keep Jelly, Moreno, Kam and Chandler and tell everyone else to kick rocks.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Moreno (and his hair) on the bench

I have a better understanding of why Rodney Terry failed at Texas after listening to him call our game tonight

“Wow, this coach looks desperate. I’m just a role player/mid-major player but I bet Coach Pope will get me a big payday if I go to Kentucky!”
