***** GAME CHAT: UK vs. UNC *****

[katwest]

Like Pearl said, we are paying starter money to back ups, looks like it.

 

[Anon1759768907]

unc is bad but at least they get glazed by the media

 

[MidseasonTweak]

The current offense is driving into multiple defenders and praying for a foul

 

[fisherscatfan]

Pope’s roster composition with the lack of an adequate backup point is just unacceptable. This team has nobody that can get a basket. Oweh and Aberdeen shoot scoop layups from their hip. No sets to get Chandler a shot.
0-13 from their hip field in the last 8-10 minutes

 

[KentuckyStout]

This drought started when they put freaking Jasper Johnson in and Aberdeen and his chucking

 

[KyCPA2000]

Someone explains how this is even possible? 9 mins without a FG at a D1 major program? I mean, HOW?

When we were up 6 with the ball I was kind of hoping Pope would call a timeout and run a set play. Instead it was play on and the lead vanished.

 

[CrossPlainsCat]

Coaching Malpractice. Who knew Cal's offense could look so good

give it a rest. Pope can't hit the shots for them.

 

[blackcat714]

This team could not hit a fat bull in the *** with a badminton racket

 

[ChiefPaducah]

I’m holding my tongue on Pope because I want him to succeed so badly but it’s getting exponentially harder.

 

[champagnecat]

who is the best recruiter we could realistically hire

 

[JesusCal92]

How on earth can we be this bad

 

[3 Putts]

Lose this and it’s all on Pope for not reeling Aberdeen in. No excuses for this crap.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Good foul, I’d put Moreno on the line also

 

[wccat]

Why oh why would you put JJ in!!!

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Just out of curiosity sake, how much is the buyout?

 

[One2Three]

if we dont have a couple studs linedup for next year, whats the incentive of keeping pope??? run it back w old guys w no talent again?

Because he deserves it, obviously! Who needs a plan or any sort of hope for improvement you just give him another year just because. Who cares if it ends up like 3rd season Joker!

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

Moreno gonna have to learn to shoot FTs

 

[Anon1759768907]

give it a rest. Pope can't hit the shots for them.

holy flashback

 

[bbnkat02]

I think something's wrong with my TV....I think it's showing a game from 3 years ago.

 

[Drogon]

Moreno is not a good ft shooter

 

[Anon1628387640]

10+ mins without a basket this is atrocious

 

[JesusCal92]

Because he deserves it, obviously! Who needs a plan or any sort of hope for improvement you just give him another year just because. Who cares if it ends up like 3rd season Joker!

He’s getting 3-4 years whether any of us like it or not so it’s a moot point

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Pope, you’ve got 3 minutes 47 seconds to figure this one out, or you are forever going to be fighting an uphill battle to keep your job.

I want to win, but I also want to get out from this hire ASAP if hes not the right guy. Winning this game but being an 8 seed in the tournament doesnt help... id rather we lose this game, miss the tournament, and go get a new AD and coach in the off season.

 

[KentuckyStout]

Listen to Dick Vitale openly cheer on UNC

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Ballgame

 

[Farsight Clone]

Literally no urgency on defense with 3 mins left

 

[Kingslayer07]

Wow Oweh got fouled too

 

[Anon1759768907]

this is not fun to watch

 

[bbnkat02]

Cannot lose this game. It will be a morale killer.

Find a way to win it.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

over 10m without a FG, that should be impossible. if shot like 25% in that stretch the game is over.

Agreed but ppl will **** on you for being right

 

[KentuckyStout]

What an absolute garbage of a basketball game

Absolute garbage

 

[megablue]

We dont deserve to win this.

Both teams deserve to lose, actually.

 

[kyjeff1]

Dick Vitale is noticably pulling for unc.

Guess I would too, this UK team is awful.

 

[FredmanthecatfanAnon]

Hey. We made a shot.

 

[Anon1759768907]

22 mil to not have a bomafide stud and go 1-23 from 3

 

[20MRoster]

I'm shocked he actually made a tough bucket. Respect -- now go play fking defense PLEASE.

 

[UKDC80]

They will lose this game. No doubt!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Stokes is watching this and saying hell nah

 

[CrossPlainsCat]

It happens every year to many teams during the season. Lot of it comes from hard fouls by UNC on any easy buckets. And this team has shown that they either a red hot or ice cold. Not much in between.
