The 3 point shooting discrepancy is going to be too much to overcome barring an extended drought. Continued rate of over 50% will be insurmountable.

MSU is shooting better from 3 than they are from the rim.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Well it doesn’t help that Lowe availability for the rest of the year seems to be up in the air .

and if Oweh has turf toe that could linger all season long .

It won't be a good year if those two things happen and those that rub negativity all over themselves will be dancing in the streets.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Remember when people were prematurely comparing the 96 team with this roster? Lol

 

[Supafuzz75]

You can vent but the boobs have an agenda and only drool when we lose. Just total dweeb sh*t.

Then do your fkn job here as a coach and fkn win.. It would shut us up.. All we ask,, me anyways..

 

[simnalecho]

Garrison wont be playing much when JQ is healthy

Pope will still play him

 

[Anon1759768907]

2026 class is already chalked, i say we steal oats or drew and get one of their stars

 

[Farsight Clone]

What is wrong with Oweh?

He doesn't care. He's been a ball hog this entire year. He wants to be in the NBA. Not at UK. But he won't play in the NBA.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

Why is jelavic in? Hes been awful. We're playing way too many people, many of whom dont deserve it

 

[Midway Cat]

Not real sure this is fixable.

We don't have enough shooting to be able to spread the floor.

That's essential with the offense we run.

Either Pope will adjust, or we're likely not even a top 25 team.

 

[bleedsblue5]

Everyone of these guys need to be honest with themselves, we are just not a good team

 

[sefus12]

If this season is an utter failure we can’t afford to keep Pope another year to redeem himself, especially when the 2026 recruiting class has been an utter disaster.

Started your account here three days ago and calling for our coach to be fired in the second half of the fifth game of the season with a lineup that is struggling with injuries. Yea, obvious troll is obvious. To ignore you go.

 

[ChiefPaducah]

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.

 

[TheBlueMist]

I hate sucking at every sport.

We are a volleyball school.

 

[Kingslayer07]

Not sure how you can practice since August and not know how to guard somebody and make simple rotations.

 

[anon1777473514]

I swear Mickie DeMoss wouldn’t be taking it this bad

 

[Drogon]

Had Oweh kept the ball moving we could have had a better shot

 

[MonsterMash79]

This Kentucky team isn’t good. I mean…… not even a little. Gotta be the most overhyped team I’ve seen in a while. I can’t believe people were actually calling this team a “ contender “ lmfao!

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

I hate sucking at every sport.

I hear we're pretty good in Volleyball, Mitch put all the money there I guess.

It won't be a good year if those two things happen and those that rub negativity all over themselves will be dancing in the streets.

Watch JQ conveniently never play this year to add s*** on top of more s***.

Turf toe doesn't explain a lack of focus/effort

 

[sefus12]

We’re a dumb and undisciplined team of average basketball talent.

Banking on Oweh to be a star is probably the biggest mistake Pope has made so far.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

If we don’t make the tournament this year the amount of money spent….

 

[RunninRichie]

Fair post. Some here want him to fail and they hate being called out.

I prioritize the programs health, over a coaches feelings. You ride for the coaches and administration. I ride for the program. If the coaches suck, get them out. If the players do, let them transfer.

 

[Shaudylo]

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 .

 

[MarkPftw]

Serious question - do we suck ***?

Yes, from the coaches all the way down.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Geez, I flip over to the StL Blues game and now their down one. This night is going just great.

 

[TortElvisII]

Serious question - do we suck ***?

Looks like a year of getting down big but having moral victories of cutting it under 10. Something needs to change. BG needs to get spot minutes first and foremost. MD needs to only shoot a three with under 2 on clock. KW needs to slash and stop shooting.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Watch JQ conveniently never play this year to add s*** on top of more s***.

That would really get under my skin.

“Everyone who doesn’t agree with me is a troll.”

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Why in the world does Mark Pope have Garrison and Yella in the game together?

 

[rick64]

Remember when people were prematurely comparing the 96 team with this roster? Lol

The 96 team would beat these guys 50.

 

[Farsight Clone]

I wish Pope had Pitino's fire. Rick would have called a time out and chewed azz so hard.

Noah is not good.
Oweh has checked out.
Garrison is lazy.

If Pope wants to win.

It doesn't matter what they paid Oweh or Garrison. Sit their azz if they're not gonna play. I don't care what you promised.

 

[catfando]

If this season is an utter failure we can’t afford to keep Pope another year to redeem himself, especially when the 2026 recruiting class has been an utter disaster.

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.

 

[Drogon]

Garrison, youre the fugging 5. Guard the fugging paint.

 

[TheBlueMist]

I swear Mickie DeMoss wouldn’t be taking it this bad

I heard she only gave it this bad, never took it.

 

[Rainmaker]

The lack of constant effort and giving up on plays is unacceptable. Pope and staff have to learn to motivate these guys. How can you take plays off, this isn’t Kentucky basketball. Must make changes.

 

[RunninRichie]

That would really get under my skin.

 

[3 Putts]

Defense, spacing, shot selection, effort…all non-existent. These guys look lost scared.

 

[Anon1761944322]

Well that sounds like he’s losing the locker room lol.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Watch JQ conveniently never play this year to add s*** on top of more s***.

I’m not sure it matters. I’m pretty sure you could put Tyrese Maxey on this team and they couldn’t win.
