About 75% of this team were backup options after the primary targets said no to Pope.

I'm already sick of seeing Pope bite his lip and look up at the scoreboard whenever his team is sucking ***.

If these truly are faults of Pope. This needs to be a BCG type of tenure. This year and next and if things and recruiting dont get fixed then we have to pivot.

 

[coalBucket]

It could work if he doesn’t try to play Mo, BG, and Jelly together.

Just don’t play any of them at all.

 

[RunninRichie]

Just Nate Oats the city of Lexington, do everything you have to do to get him to Kentucky.

Nate Oats was the obvious hire for UK. Only Mitch could flub that up.

 

[UKortho]

I like Trent Noah. But him getting major minutes tells you everything you need to know about this team.

 

[Farsight Clone]

What seriously happened to Oweh?

He doesn't care anymore.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Hey maybe we'll make it "competitive" at the end, it will be a moral victory!

The lack of any improvement is worrisome

 

[ala_kat2]

Now getting crushed by a slow methodical team... unreal.

They’re quicker than us

 

[Anon1751335390]

The discrepancy in jump shooting efficiency is large.

 

[blackcat714]

Pope can’t recruit and gets prissy soft boys. Jasper Johnson honestly looks like a girl.

Doubt he could start for Morehead

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Oweh sure is on the bench a lot for the preseason conference POY

 

[Noxium3222]

BS call.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Not having Lowe and not being able to count on 16+ from Oweh makes this a totally different team than we thought we'd have.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

No, it isn’t. As if Mikel Brown would fix this horrendous defense. We just randomly point fingers in an opposite direction. Lol

News flash. The offense sucks tonight too.

 

[Drogon]

Michigan St is shooting a shoot-a-round. There is virtually no ball pressure

I would Put Aberdeen and Williams out top. Oweh at the free throw line. Mo and Moreno in the paint

You could even 1-3-1 in it, but I like Oweh size and speed in the middle. Cheat the big up depending on which side the ball is on

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

That’s an awful foul call

 

[bleedsblue5]

Pope just can't teach Defense. Period

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Just give Nate Oats the city of Lexington, do everything you have to do to get him to Kentucky.

100% please

 

[MarvinHagler89]

Doubt he could start for Morehead

Agreed

 

[bbnkat02]

Thanks ref you *******.

 

[FireWentOut]

They defend and the refs screw them. He walked before that foul too.

 

[Zuma75]

That was a dog sh** foul on Aberdeen

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Mitch shouldn’t even be allowed to search for a new coach. Like we cannot afford for him to f*** this up again. He was allowed to hire BCG and after that disaster boosters decided to hire Calipari over him. If Pope doesn’t work he cannot under any circumstances be allowed to find a new coach.

I agree, but he got his 3rd choice, so there’s that….

 

[rivercatinfl]

I found a name for this team.....
FOOLS GOLD!!!

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Garbage call but it doesn’t even matter.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Let me guess: You hated the hire and "I was right" is exhilarating for you.

I keep forgetting that you're one of those guys that only can be nice if everyone agrees with you.

As for Pope, I'm cheering like mad for him. He's just not giving me much to work with. Maybe that's why you're resigned to being snarky instead of actually pointing to on-the-court results?

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

News flash. The offense sucks tonight too.

Yeah it does, but there’s been a trend with one and not the other.

 

[BlueSince92]

We’ve got a long, long road ahead of us if we’re gonna accomplish anything this season.

 

[RunninRichie]

Pope looks silly now for hyping this team up in the off season like it was the second coming of the 96 wildcats.

We have a lot of players, but I wouldn't call this quality depth at all.

Don’t bring back the denims either. I don’t need to see those legendary uniforms, ruined by this team.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Will boosters keep paying $20+ million for 10-loss seasons?

Nope

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

We finally showed some life before getting screwed by the refs. Hopefully we build on it.

 

[megablue]

We only have 2 legit players.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

This is not a player problem.

I strongly disagree, it's not the only problem but the roster isn't good enough.

 

[Seth_C]

If that was a foul then half of MSU would be fouled out. Sorry.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

That shitbird should be looking for another job

Mitch 100% needs to go first. That should be the first move this off-season if Basketball flutters again. You get a bad coaching hire, maybe two.. but after that, the blame moves upwards. Sometimes its the GM that was the blocker.

 

[MonsterMash79]

All of our fanbase that was talking all that ish about stomping other programs, better be takin notes …. Starting to look like last year was a fluke

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

No reason for MSU to have 40 points already. Period

MSU isn’t that good and they are kicking our ***.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Can JQ save us or no?

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Yeah we need Oweh chucking threes lol

 

[theBlues]

bs foul call

 

[NociHTTP]

I don't want to hear any excuses from Pope.
