Watching the KSR rapid reaction video (calm down haters and stans, this has nothing to do with Matt Jones) and they said people sitting near the court heard Pope tell Garrison he's tired of watching him play.

I was glad Pope embarrassed BG a little tonight.

He got a ball he should’ve passed stolen, started b!tching at Aberdeen, lallygagged back down the floor and gave up a layup. Pope was correct to end BG’s night right there.

I won’t knock him personally because I don’t know him, but his play on the court is selfish and lazy and has been the whole time he’s been here.

Pope finally showing that he has some bite. I like this.
Yeah, that might be the best development from this game tonight. It was a terrible sequence for BG. Tried to dribble into traffic, made a terrible decision, lost the ball, and then just loafed down the floor instead of hustling, despite the turnover was all on him. But Pope told him to get out, then ripped into him during the timeout, then kept him on the bench. Pope's nice guy approach worked last season but that clearly isn't working with this group. This group clearly needs someone to chew them out a bit. That could definitely be a good development.

Worst part is his advanced numbers say he's not a complete bum. He can actually be counted on offensively in small doses if given a chance. It really just comes down to him having a lack of a consistent motor defensively and in rebounding.

BG Will transfer to another program who needs a backup Center next year. I predict Cincinnati or Xavier but as long as it’s not UK. WE have Potter & MM with Jelly returning so the focus for next year is a point guard & a stud at 3. Kam will stay & Mo & Lowe will leave with BG.
JJ -CC & Noah will be future KY Heros - GO BIG BLUE

I was behind the bench 5 rows up and can 100% confirm.
He also yelled at Garrison “what the fuuuu” didn’t finish the word but I swear he said this first thing after BG didn’t hustle back on D. I was very impressed by Pope tonight! He was ripping these guys and I loved it.

I was a bit surprised that Pope never put him back in the game after the *** chewing and yanking him out. I figured for sure he'd see some minutes in the second half.

Garrison has an attitude problem. That’s not good, especially when you’re not good enough for a coach to put up with it.

I didn’t notice Garrison near the huddles during timeouts in the second half. I think he’s a major problem. Bad attitudes have a way of infesting the entire team.

Pope needs to have a one on one with him, and let him know that it’s not about him. It’s about the team. If that doesn’t get thru to him, then he can rot on the end of the bench.

Get a stud wing and a PG... that'll be a really solid team.
