Duke plays at Florida in December.This will be Dukes toughest away game the entire season
Pope has won 45 games the last 2 years, the same as Kansas.
We don't need AI when we have Jon Scott
Yes, but Self was trying to win games and championships. So, it’s really not fair to compare their records.During Cal’s time at Ky he
Won 410 games Kansas won 434 during the same time period
Under Pitino we've played Kansas at Rupp
I don't think that's right.
We've played 6 times in Lexington. Only ONCE in Rupp and NEVER in Rupp during the Regular Season. Only time we've played them in Rupp was 1980 during the Regional Semifinals.
We're 3-8 against those bastards including that game since then. Ugh.
You are correct, so under Pope Ky gained a game against Kansas. Damn that’s going to piss some bashers off.46 games. 24 and 22 i believe. Pope needs all the help he can get so dont cheat him that win.
We do it old schoolWe don't need AI when we have Jon Scott
Kansas yes; we were talking about Duke.Under Pitino we've played Kansas at Rupp
Yep. We've gotten a bit lucky that Self isn't his prime.....self.You are correct, so under Pope Ky gained a game against Kansas. Damn that’s going to piss some bashers off.
Yep. I might google it first, but I ALWAYS check BBH.We don't need AI when we have Jon Scott
When we play Kansas, who do you think guards stokes?Stokes an interesting player - loves contact, plays through it really well. Keeps his head up really well. There is nothing graceful about his game, but he is a strong athlete and very active. He's basically the anti-Peterson, much more winning brand of hoops. Dishes the ball well.
Ngongba really keeping Duke in this one, has 1/3 of their points and KU has no answer. Duke's scoring from the outside an issue. No one really shooting it that well. Kansas really physical with them.
They didn’t. But they should have been.Wouldn’t be the first time that Ky lost it, I don’t recall anyone getting fired over it.
Unfortunately Duke. Had it in hand up double digits by 4 min timeout. Played loose with ball trying to run clock out so the final 90-84 score seems closer than the game actually was. Silver lining is it is nice to see the ineligibles on the other side frustrated though that they dropped 2 straight games at home.So who won?
Whew, tough one. We don't really have an answer for him. He'll shred Milan. I'm probably throwing bodies at him from the 4, doing what I can to force him to take jumpers.When we play Kansas, who do you think guards stokes?
I think N’Diaye can match up nicely with him.When we play Kansas, who do you think guards stokes?
I agree. Kentucky historically has won at a 75.7% winning percentage. Cal won at a 76.9%, which means he improved our programs winning percentage and win total at a better rate than the history of the program. However, Pope is winning at a clip of 63.9%. These stats tell us Pope is not living up to the UK standard and is running this program into the ground. So it is time for a change and get this train back on track.Both are/were UK coaches. Both have had bad losses in their tenure (Cal at the end-Pope starting out)
Both have contributed to the total game W-L columns. There's nothing unfair about that at all.
They got blown out by Xavier too and I don’t even think they’re ranked.Soooo does this mean Tennessee just sucks really bad?
Pope has been here through two injury plagued seasons against the two most difficult schedules in school history and has added one game to our lead so far.Wouldn't be the first time.
True but we definitely want to hold the lead in both.Kansas has played a ton more games. And UK still has more wins. Winning percentage is better.
Pope is +1 in the the race against Kansas in two seasons. Cal was -29 in his last five seasons.Pls dont compare cals to pope

UK still leads 11-10 Alltime against Puke. I'll not be selective in order to give them any edge.
I don't think that's right.

The same thing was claimed going into last season.Kansas will pass us this year. Get jumped by a couple others if Pope sticks around much longer.
As usual someone jumps on a comparison with no context. Without even considering injuries but just schedules, none stack up to Pope's avg. difficulty rating of 13.5. If you avg. UK's other 7 schedules rated 10.60 or better which average out to 11.44 Uk's winning percentage is 64% vs. Pope's 63.9%I agree. Kentucky historically has won at a 75.7% winning percentage.

We need to force him to shoot jumpers. If we let him drive/finish and dish all game he will carve us up. He can be stopped, but we actually need a nice plan and stick to it.I think N’Diaye can match up nicely with him.
I haven't seen Jon on this site in a long while but his website is PRICELESS! Anyone who hasn't used his site should visit it from time to time and discover a wealth of easily accessible information.We don't need AI when we have Jon Scott
I would either put Charles Hurt or Mel Turpin on him! Sorry, just had a senior moment!Whew, tough one. We don't really have an answer for him. He'll shred Milan. I'm probably throwing bodies at him from the 4, doing what I can to force him to take jumpers.
When I think about teams that can match up with him, a Thomas Haugh might be able to slow him down. Issue is Stokes much stronger. He's a tough matchup. UConn has a beefy Alabama FB signee, 5* named Colben Landrew that is kind of like him. Just an utter tank. I'd love to see that matchup. They both have giant heads like pittbulls and clobber their way to the paint, Stokes bigger.
We had to forfeit games before too. So that excuse doesn't fly.Everybody's forgetting Kansas had to forfeit 15 wins in 2018, we are only a ahead of them on an NCAA technicality.
It's not technically those games should not have counted in the first place due to the violationsEverybody's forgetting Kansas had to forfeit 15 wins in 2018, we are only a ahead of them on an NCAA technicality.

Kansas hasn't been to Durham since 1985....but they have played each other many timesFirst time Duke has played in Allen Fieldhouse in nearly FOURTY years. (1988) How is that even possible?
and KU has played in Durham onceIt's only the second time in their history they've played here.
