As much as people want it to be true, Quaintance is not going to make that much of a difference. He is not known for offense. We are not a good team offensively. Plus, what is it with these out of bounds plays? Do coaches not concentrate on this anymore?

Losing your starting PG is a disaster for any team in America. There is no way you can have the same team you would have had. That said, I can root all day for a team with heart and scrap that gets after it on defense
I agree. Pope shouldn’t have recruited a back up PG. It was expert level roster construction. Just bad luck. He deserves a pass, if we lose 16 games. He loves UK…..

Not if the other guys can handle and pass.

You adjust your offense to what the players can do.

We have not adjusted.

Looks like I was right in doubling down on my thought of rock fight game TIMES TWO vs St. John's today.

He’s awesome, no doubt, but at this point, this team just needs a “decent” point guard. That would make more of a difference.

Our inbounding struggles are just inexcusable. Our offense isn't much better.

Just as bad, our few transition opportunities resulted in missing open guys costing us buckets.

Not really, we saw how well the team played trying to score. They lost and lost badly. They are a defensive teams and need to win low scoring ugly games.
They unfortunately are built like a late era Calipari team. And Pope doesn’t coach a defense first rock fight, style either. Baffling he recruited for a system he doenst even coach.

Its clear the offense is not running any sets or don't know what to do. It's the coaches job to help facilitate that. Clearly, you need to understand basketball.
Oh I understand it well, hence you completely melted and resorted to insults like my little niece. Pearl will never coach here. Crap on Pope all you want to scatch your itch. It's just sel-serving.
