I don’t consider myself overly negative or overly positive .

But you just aren’t going to get good positive post in a game thread when we look like this .

I get that and that doesn't bother me at all. But a few only post in volume when we lose. See ya.

He ain't getting canned this soon. And TBH, it isn't fair to him. Scheyer hasn't set the world on fire with Duke either. We need to outbid everyone for the top talent. I dont think we are doing that.
Scheyer went to the Elite Eight and was second in the ACC his second year. Pope has to show improvement over the first year, not regression.

Pope needs to whisper to Fox “go to the locker room, cancel the jet, and book a red-eye greyhound home”. These boys need to gel and learn how to be a gritty/hungry team!

We’re a dumb and undisciplined team of average basketball talent.
I’m 1000% for this.
Why is jelavic in? Hes been awful. We're playing way too many people, many of whom dont deserve it
Which bigs do you want to play? Moreno has been solid but the rest have been trash.

One and out for us, bad shot then miss, they rebound then score. We can’t cut the lead down. They have have been able to maintain a a ten point lead with a team full of non shooters. We have no inside game, so I guess that’s why Pope won’t or can’t do anything about it. There is going to be a whole lot of heat on him and the team in the coming days. They are playing street ball against a team that don’t shoot the ball well, usually, but has an excellent coach and we are getting schooled in every way.

Its the same crap as last year. We have been down big in the first half in 5+ big games last year and won 2 of them. (Gonzaga/Duke). The rest we lost.

If we have a loosing season this year, Pope's gotta go. But Mitch's dumbazz will stick it to the fan base and give him another contract.

I love Coach Pope. Always will for what he has done for UK but this is a master class of a hall of fame coach coaching circles around him.
Izzo has a healthy line up and we have no PG. Part of that is on Pope for not having a better back-up, but injuries are killing us early. You can’t deny the impact of those.

The other team wanting it more you can sometimes understand if they’re at home and have been thumped by us as much as UL has. But this is flat out inexcusable. And some guys need to sit. Starting with Garrison and Diabate. And if Pope won’t do it then he’s not the guy.
