4 minutes for JQ?
The rotations are just horrible and make zero sense. 4 minutes is a joke because JQ looks just fine. My gosh enough of the babying him and turn the kid loose.

Pope is literally doing the same crap where we just dribble the shot clock down then put up a rushed shot or turn it over. Scheme is 100% on the coach.

The last play of the half is symbolic of our poor offense . Oweh dribbles the clock down and chucks a 3 smh. Also let JJ or Chandler run the point .Aberdeen is terrible at PG.

Love the defensive effort and rebounding. Garrison missed a couple of shots he has to make but looks great at the 4 with JQ. Gotta take better care of the ball and hit free throws. Gotta move better on offense.

Looks like we have a team full of good defenders that lack offensive capabilities when no point guard is on the floor. This game really highlights the lack of a point guard. We can’t get in to our offense, we can’t create shots and when we do score it’s a forced shot. All of the ingredients to lose a lot of games against good competition.

Pope's offense is playing 4 out. Shooting lots of 3s. Problem is that he doesn't have the quality shooters. So he's going to have to figure out another way to score points or this is going to be a very long season.
He built a team of no shooters and only 1 PG. UK is not getting open shots and that is on Pope for zero looks. They get open looks that they miss that’s on the players.

That person is not a Kentucky fan. He/She is a loser with no life away from trolling basketball fans on a message board in 2025. Let that sink in. Bad enough we are here as much as we are, but think about how truly sad and desperate life must be to do what he/she is all doing?
UK basketball/football is one of my favorite hobbies. This is the only place for meaningful discussion for it.

If Pope doesn't light up a ref real freaking soon I'm gonna question his manhood.

well, you just got upgraded from dumbass to moron because look at the free throw disparity. We finally got a couple of calls up to that point they had 11 free throws and we had none.. you really need to shut the **** up

Dan Hurley won more games in year 2, than year one. He took over when the NIL era wasn’t a thing. He did an old school rebuild. And each year he got better and better. Year 2 and we’re 7-4. Dan Hurley should never be compared to Mark Pope.
So because he was horrible year one instead of Sweet 16, you give his 12 loss season in a crap conference a pass in year 2 LMAO? Double LMAO
