Yeah, do we ever play a road exhibition game? Like all these teams come to UK and never get a return game? Purdue, Georgetown and now TX tech.

I'm just curious and before the Popettes freak out, not a criticism. Just curious why some big name teams play on road n exhibition and we havent.

It's more of a newer thing so I think some teams are just starting to do them more each year. It wasn't long ago when all of us stayed home and played junior colleges as exhibitions. We did just host #19 TTech, by the way...

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%

Everyone has injuries... Cal had more than his share. The comparsion is how much each coach has contributed to Kentucky's All Time win record. The winning percentage is one way which clearly shows Cal contributed or you can go by total wins which Cal had 410 and Pope has 45. If we are looking for excuses...Cal had to deal with COVID with no fans in the stands. However, if Pope keeps these results, he might have to deal with his coach with no fans in the stands.

Your comprehension is terrible. Did you miss the part where I said "with not even considering injuries" and gave you the facts about the schedules Pope has played.

Pope has not played anything... Pope has shown up and embarrassed the entire state. That is why he gets booed out of the arena!!!

Speaking of terrible comprehension...you are the one still trying to make excuses for Pope.

Incredibly lame retort. Referring to schedules a coach has played is perfectly valid and no one ever has thought that means he was actually out on the floor playing.

Introducing actual facts is not making excuses. The fact is he has performed right on UK's standard when playing schedules even near that degree of difficulty (no other UK coach has ever played a schedule rated as difficult as the two Pope has) as much as that pains you to hear.

I don't think he'll shred Milan. Milan is a grown man.

I hope we put someone else on him only because of him getting in foul trouble. At that point We are In trouble.
I think maybe we try N’Diaye on him with help from a guard to slow his drives down.

Gonna be interesting.

You wants some facts? Pope has had the highest pay roll in Kentucky Basketball and he still sucks. He picked everyone of those players and he is responsible for the product on the court! He has no chance of surviving as Kentucky basketball coach. Prepare yourself for that!

I'm just going to put you on ignore. It's obvious no rational discussion is possible with you. You are just a hyperbolic crybaby that has an irrational hate for the guy and no tolerance for anything but 100% negativity.

Irrational... who is calling who a crybaby because they do not agree with someone else's opinion. Let that sink.
