I pity those Spartans in the 2nd half.
I want threes shot but not by power forwards and guys that should be slashing. This is a really really really really big disappointment. Did Oweh just mail it in?

What really sucks is the fans that pay all that money for season tickets basketball and football for losing seasons and the price keeps going up lmao
This makes me appreciate Amari and Brea even more.
Bilas said it right, Michigan state is simply running a light practice using team managers and scoring at will. They are shooting lights out because they are wide open everywhere.
Pope is probably saying things like let's go give effort next half gosh darnit.
Keep slobbering over last year's mediocrity
Half the team would leave now and just take the loss. AAU mentality, we have another game later this week. I think we will still make the NCAA, but as a 8-9 seed, nothing to see here. I doubt JQ or Lowe plays rest of the season. SMH
Whatever Pope paid for this roster was too much.
Maybe? I didn’t want him back and it seemed I was the only one. We were definitely in the minority.
Yeah, I agree. I’m not saying we have the talent to embarrass people but we absolutely have enough talent, if coached properly, that we should be competitive in every game we play.
Garrison doesn't have a fast twitch muscle fiber in his body.
And u know the alarming thing is we aren't competitive.
Like early season games if u win by a little great if u lose by a little that sucks but not the complete end of the world
It's not even being competitive. We look like a JV team out there. And it's a bit scary that we look this awful with players like Mo and Aberdeen that had a lot of success with their previous teams.

Easy there buddy while it sucks, basketball or any sport is no where near that important in the grand scheme
A nice man can’t coach Kentucky basketball. Never has, never will.
Mitch picked the cute little puppy up from the doggy store so that he could train the dog to be his guard dog, instead of bringing home the junkyard dog that's already bit off the hands of three or four Intruders that tried to break into the junkyard.
Mitch basically picked somebody like him to coach this program. Pope is the same guy who told his fans at BYU not to wear shirts when Texas came to play that read, "horns down."
That's a Mitch-type move if I've ever was one.
I feel like an idiot thinking this team could win 9.
We aren't talented, we also look poorly coached. Gutless, soulless garbage product. Last year's team was MILES better even WITH injuries.
A collection of role players and super duds - I'm finally admitting it.
No leader, no fire, no ******* nothing. Enough beautiful soul ********. Coach these damn kids to be even halfway average.
I mean seriously? Our offense is jacking up awful shots. No movement, no intelligence. Our defense is dreadful. Terrible rotations, screened out of everything. I wouldn't bet on us beating anyone good in our non-con. St. John's/Gonzaga are going to break this team lol. Holy ****.
Miserable, miserable product.

If the women win tonight and the men lose, I think we should give the women all the men's NIL money.
How'd that work out against Duke and Gonzaga last year? Just throw stuff against the wall. I'm sure something will stick.
I have not seen much talent to be honest. The talent we have is super flawed in important aspects of the game. Noah can’t guard, JJ is too young and lost, Moreno has potential in about a year or two. Mo D looks regressed, Oweh doesn’t look the same. Our shooters don’t shoot. We have no PG. Our best player is hurt. Everyone else is MEH bench players.
I said that last season and this season that it doesn’t appear Pope values conditioning and get quite ridiculed for it.
I’ll bet if we switched rosters, Tom Izzo would be smacking us even worse. That’s ok, we can blame it on not having “studs”, and waste even more time. I don’t want to die before we pass UCLA, but I guess it’s inevitable
We have enough talent that's not the problem. I guess the pieces just don't fit and Pope doesn't know what to do. Why couldn't we have taken what we paid two or four players and just gotten Donovan Dent and Lendeborg. I think Pope over thought this roster in the off-season.
I’m starting to have doubts about Pope’s game planning and in game changes.
I cant say thats all on Pope. Pro offense, nice guy, I dont know who wouldn't want to play for him to the point that we are whiffing on elite recruits over and over.. This reeks of Mitch's interference and not having all our ducks in a row when it comes to running what is now a professional basketball team.
I mean Hubert Davis is landing recruits we cant.
I keep hearing this, but it’s simply cope for Mitch Barnhart’s inability or refusal to hire a top coach.
Most likely Barnhart wanted a boy scout, a good Christian man who he could lord over. He wouldn’t get that if he hired someone like Calipari (who he didn’t hire).
Pope and Calipari have one thing in common: they know how to hype players that are not worth hyping.
The difference is that Cal hyped second tier freshmen, and Pope hypes second tier transfer portal players.

He was a good player last year. He wasn't like an All American or anything, but good nonetheless.
Going from good to dreadful is a steep drop.
Mo D with the end of half shot. Really? Just who you want taking a long 3 point shot.
This is Kentucky. Any argument you have supporting a half assed effort is moot.
I defended Pope hard during the Louisville game. It was a road game in a jacked up arena against NBA guards, it happens.
But we have every advantage in this game and our guys look like they just met each other in the layup line.
So, have at it folks, Pope deserves to get roasted.

Wild but it seems like Robinson, Brea, Carr and Williams are better that anyone we have right now except maybe Aberdeen. Oweh is like a ghost of himself.
Isn't, wasn't healthy. Obviously has holes in his game. Guards didn't really defend very well that game. Theres no rim protector to erase mistakes. Different team if those guys are healthy and playing. Aberdeen and Chandler aren't guys who can break down their defender and make plays. They are guys who need to have shots setup for them. Bottom line is we won't truly know what we have until they are playing. Hopefully are playing.
You sound like an IU fan defending Crean. “Remember when we beat #1 UK”?
