Tonight, of course they’ll win and look great, though the true litmus tests are going to be Indiana and SJU, those games will determine the plight of Pope‘s tenure and if a number of players need to be immediately removed from the program due to a lack of effort. I’m not feeling confident about the outcome to be forthright.

Kinda wait and see approach I guess. Starting to wonder if JQ even plays for UK. Might be at the point to where this teams chemistry is a full blown dumpster fire ..

I believe he comes back around Christmas according to Pope’s update yesterday.

Totally agree, though they’re facing a glorified JUCO level team tonight, that’s 5-8.
Yeah, but I don't see any Pope supporters on here saying a win tonight rights the ship. But it is possible to work different lineups and work on execution to build on for the next game.

Let’s see how we do against Indiana. If we lose against them I want him out the door by his resignation. Mitch deserves to be tarred and feathered on broadway and main.

Essentially, Indiana is a MUST WIN !! Home game, struggling mightily, shooting poorly, effort and heart have been questioned, etc., so this game will be a barometer to see if they can muster up whatever it takes for them to get a win over a non-cupcake. It must happen to prove capability and promise.

JQ needs minutes tonight, or it’s probably not happening! And quite frankly, I couldn’t blame him one iota if he wanted to continue to sit and protect his financial future. This team is smoked!

Tonight means as much as me playing FORTNITE an hour ago.
Don't want to hear about moving in the right direction. This team has already shown in can do a U-Turn.
Win against Indiana and I will have hope for Pope.

Hope for Pope.
I like that!!!

Was at practice yesterday. I would be astonished if he isn't back by St. John's. He was sprinting down the court. Catching oops. Blocking several shots. He looked like the JQ from Arizona State. Dozens of people were there to see it.

I'm down on the team but I am 100% convinced JQ will come back very soon and be a huge help on both ends of the court.

I agree on the IU game being a litmus test. Moreso than the SJ game. If we lose Saturday then it's going to a level of ugly that no one thought would happen.

Nobody expects tonight to tell us anything, unless there is a player who sees significantly more/less minutes than has been seeing.

I would require at least 4 passes on each possession and no three-point attempts in the first half. We need to develop more of an inside-out game this year.

Be cool if that’s the case 👍
