False. A whole bunch of folks here have sought every opportunity they could to justify him losing his job. Was crap talk to fellow fans only allowed in the first half? Asking folks if they're ready for crow is as justified as constantly venting deep frustration with the program and coaching staff. Everyone should be happy right now.
He and Richie can go cry at the bar since they hated the hire and wan't to be right more than they do enjoy the wins. Don't even bother with them.

Just got stop this crap of getting down double digits.
It's probably too soon to say that's going to end with Lowe and JQ back. I'm very concerned for Lowe. I'm hoping that with the team realizing just how strong its defense can be will start bringing it both halves.

They keep getting better and now that JQ can play we’re a much better basketball team. Gotta give props to Coach Pope and the team. They’ve made it obvious they are working hard to turn this season around

I am as critical as the come when I see wrong, but always give credit where do. Well done CATS! What I enjoyed most of all was the grind and effort. JQ “Predator” can be game changing talent and Lowe is step in right direction at point ( although not pass first guard). This game could change trajectory of season (at minimum confidence and momentum). First game in long time I actually overtly enjoyed. Will see what tomorrow brings. Go CATS!

The teams that beat us all dominated inside and mostly without Lowe, things would have been and will be different if we meet again. You can’t have your two most IMPORTANT two players missing at their positions and win against the best teams. We had them both today, neither at full strength either.

We've had the WORST Injury luck in the country when it comes to wins and it's not even close.

Nobody wants us to be great again, more then Mark Pope. It had to be pretty hard to hear all of our s.hit when we were sucking, and for a coach that can't teach defense, we sure had a great defensive game 🥳

We're probably 10-2 at Full Strength and Full effort. Crossing my fingers for some injury luck for once.

Yes. They would rather the Cats lose so they can be "right" than the Cats win and they look bad. That is not a fan, I don't give a crap what anyone says

With today’s win, stand by position Mitch needs to be gone now. To long of demonstrated trend of gross incompetence and honestly fiduciary negligence. Pope stand by position give till end of year and assess next steps. You are who your record says you are. But for Pope, today may have saved his coaching career at UK over short term (beyond this year) if not bought him some time at minimum. Hopefully today can be leveraged and built upon. Go CATS!

Lowe is made of glass.
You've crushed Lowe since November (Can't shoot, no defense, Aberdeen is better, "If Pope thinks he's the answer at PG, it will be a disasterr", etc.). Hope you finally saw the light. Lowe isn't soft at all. Seperated shoulders are no fun.

I don’t get attacking other people for their opinion on Pope. We won. Be happy
I don't attack people over their opinion of Pope, but I do find it weird that not even a 1/4 of the way through his 2nd year on the job some posters are saying we need to move on from him. Really?
