I know it’s only the 3rd game of the year, but we didn’t appear to have a pulse most of the game. $22 million, and I’m not sure any of our players would start for UL…maybe one. Who would have thought that Khalifa would be the best big in the game? Some of the worst defense I’ve seen our team play in the last 20 years. Nobody should throw in the towel, it’s early, but this was a buzz kill. Three point shooting, rebounding, free throws, defense, all terrible. UL has a legit shot at a final 4.

Again, it’s early, but this was a buzz kill.

This is embarrassing and there is no one to blame but Pope. He was given 20+ million to build a team and this is the product he puts on the court! After games against Arkansas, Ohio st. and Georgia last year and now this game, there are serious questions about Pope's coaching. Poor defense. It is really bad at times.

Losuville played as good as humanly possible. We played like absolute dogshit and had a shot to win in their house for their Super Bowl of the decade. It sucks I hate losing period. But this team, if they sucked, wouldn’t have had any chance in that game the way lousville played. Louisville won’t play that good all year mark they down. The potential of this team came through, not many teams could have ever had a shot in that game.

It’s NOVEMBER. It’s their SUPERBOWL of the decade. Louisville played lights out we didn’t even play with any fire. And we had a shot to beat them.

November guys. This team hasn’t even begun to be what they’re going to be. I hate it as much as the next guy but give them a second Colin is turning up, Jlow will come around, Aberdeen is gonna be a beast. Cam looks to be coming on. It’s a road game and a superbowl game in November. And it’s a good loss for them. I don’t always think that but they now see how this is going to be.

We can’t beat this team every single time we play. lol. They are 18-40.

I'm not to concerned... UofL played out of thier mind at home. We missed to many free throws, and looked alittle lost on offense.. Defense was not to bad.. Hard to stop someone that's hitting every shot with a hand in their face.. I think we win that at home. Pope said they focused much of the first of the year on defense... And just recently started on offense... It kind of showed... UofL had a player that played for Pope, so they had some insight into what he runs. Not to worried, we fought back... And didn't wilt. I doubt UofL looks that good the rest of the year. But they have some players. Free throw and turnovers. Credit there D for the turnovers. Freethrows just inexcusable.

Disagree. Thought they put up a hell of a fight. Game was decided in FT disparity. Good effort...frustrating...but it is what it is. Bright side is we have a really legit big about to return.

The kid from Bama is not suited for this type of game. Never understood why pope went after him. Too slow, can't shoot and doesn't rebound

A lot of concerns coming from this game and seems like alot are the same as last year, where are these “dogs” on d that was said all summer??? Trailing shooters off screens is exactly what they want your to do, gave them confidence early and open looks……then they go on to make 13 or whatever cause the confidence is there. Can’t dig 20 point holes and then turn it on vs good teams.

Exactly. I get it it’s losiuvlle. But Louisville played as hard and as good as humanly possible. It was at their house in November. We STILL almost came within an eyelash of beating them playing as bad as we’ll play all year.

Ever seen UL come back to one of our really good teams at Rupp down 20+? No. It just shows what this team is going to turn into. They haven’t learned each other you can easily see it. Aberdeen is going to be an absolute beast. Cam is turning on possibly. Lowe hasn’t even laced them up long. JQ isn’t playing at all and possibly will in the next month and half. Colin is going to get lethal.

We almost won that game lol. It got close, and Louisville wanted that bad enough to sell their mother. 18-40 you can’t beat someone every single time. Past the emotion, the team has riches. Let’s see if they learn and come around to potential it’s November 11th. We’re barely out October.

UL played a great game. They played with intensity. They played great defense. They ran their offense like we weren’t even in their way.

This was their Super Bowl and they won’t play that well again this season.

Hats off to them.

We didn’t play particularly well and that happens.

Not matching their intensity is what bothers me.

Louisville just wanted this game so much more than our team did. And it showed.

JQ is a rim runner that can’t shoot free throws. I do love his toughness though

What Defense? What hustle/rebounding? What free throws? We sucked in every facet of the game.

They are paid pro players now. Show up and play hard start to finish without excuses. Guys were soft most of the game.

After spending more than double than any team in the country to buy players ($22mil), he should have a bench full of Elite players......but he doesn't. He may want to learn how to teach his team defense
