I love 00 probably more than most on here still but even he looks remarkably lost especially on defense for whatever reason. It’s obvious it’s a staff issue and team defense takes a lot more than a single guy.
100%.

pope built a defensive team but cant coach defense. guys dont know what they are doing 6 games into the season and that includes scouting the opponent.

At least Noah is playing hard. This lineup has looked more together at least. If they played like this all game they could win a few games at least. Why did it take 15 minutes of game time to do it?

I want you to be right, but "playing hard" won't cut it against an actual basketball team.

Just an observation, and im not saying im there yet.. But in the event that Pope is not the guy for this job, say that this is a given fact that will eventually be proven..

.. you'd almost not mind losing this game to speed up the process. Just saying. We just lost the first quarter (or almost) to a team thats in the 330s of Kenpom. This isnt anything like losing to Richmand or Oakland.

Yes basketball is runs, im sure we will get better. But even Cal didnt have these types of lackluster performances for 95% of his time here. If pope's not the guy, the sooner we move on the better. Cant have this be a 3 or 4 year trial. If we cant compete, hes gotta go and fast
Kentucky should not be the type of school that you learn on the job

Ok kick Garrison out of Rupp and make him transfer during Christmas. Absolutely nothing good comes from him being on the floor.

Even though we playing poorly these refs suck. Not calling stuff at TT end is driving me nuts. So many moving screens and carrying the ball while dribbling. NCAA has made a travesty of the rule book.

Nice turnaround. We will win. But it's going to be hard for me to give this performance as anything above a C-grade.. and even that, there's still work to do. You just can't lose a quarter to such a low ranked team and look so sloppy and uninterested doing it. And winning by 25-30 doesn't erase everything.

The only positive is that "a win is a win" and we will likely continue to get better. How much so, remains to be seen.

Ugly *** half for most of that.

Play the guys that produce. It's that simple.

I'm ready to send Oweh off this team.
