They can absolutely turn it around. But it’s gonna take Pope taking a deep look at himself and also who he’s giving the most minutes to. This can’t continue.It’s definitely not what I wanted, but damn… People can say it’s early too, but what we’re watching / was watching isn’t just tonight. They aren’t athletic enough to compete with top tier teams. I’ll be the first to eat crow if they miraculously turn it around

Oh I hate watching UK look like sh*t. You’re just making stupid points and then claiming I’m ok with ”being mediocre“ when I point out why your opinions aren’t based in logic.
I was beside myself on that play. Been pissed all night, but, that was the zenith, lol. He would’ve checked out for the night immediately after that play if I had been the coach.
If we were young and talented I’d be more optimistic . But to be down double digits to Louisville who had a player say “**** them” and to follow it up playing even worse against a ranked team on National TV when we have a pretty experienced team .It’s definitely not what I wanted, but damn… People can say it’s early too, but what we’re watching / was watching isn’t just tonight.

Moreno is the only player that actually looks like a vet on the court .
We cut it to 17. We won the last minute.
Of all the failures of this team, the absolutely zero chemistry this team shows. Absolutely no chemistry whatsoever.
Combine that with lack of elite talent and we're looking at disaster.

Chandler actually fought. Jasper just gunned..
When you have 3 non-shooters on the floor at any given time, a good coach is going to pressure the two shooters off the 3 point line and beg the non-shooters to beat you. They have proven they cannot.
I believe this team has internal issues.
Nate Oats is the most obvious choice that it sickens me that he’ll probably end up at Kansas or something.
This is so wrong it's bizarre. No surprise at the two boobs that liked your post...
The job was literally offerred to Scott Drew and he declined. WTF !?
I just want my basketball coach winning basketball game. He can worship the devil for all I care.
I don't need him to be a ......Pope lol
Get him a few more minutes(17-19) and maybe he doesn't try to make 5 point plays on every possession.
I saw some defensive issues in the Louisville game that I thought would get corrected but it’s much worse than I thought. I haven’t seen a Kentucky team this bad at defense at this point since 2012-2013 Kentucky. And the worst part about it for me is it looks like coaching. These dudes are undisciplined and low effort. The offense has regressed so much from last season it’s kind of mind boggling how much.
I don’t really know where to start. Throwing the coach under the bus is a simpleton’s perspective. We can’t play defense, we simply don’t seem to know how. We can’t pass effectively. Spacing sucks. We seem to be stuck in jack-a-three mode. Over half our attempts. Very lazy basketball. Bennie ball.
The ball absolutely MUST go into the paint. Passes must exceed 12’. Defense has to get smash mouth aggressive. Rebounding ……Just OMG… Dontbget me started on conditioning.
Most important is this team needs to sit with itself and ask, Is this all we got?

Did you read my later post? I assumed it was clear that my post referenced what happened after the very public drew pursuit. I made a wrong assumption.

This should be the lineup moving forward.
Aberdeen
JJ
Williams
Oweh
Moreno
Mo and Chandler off the bench. That’s where they are most effective anyway. Noah and Jelavic spot minutes. If they’re making shots on a particular night roll with them a little more than usual. Garrison only if deep foul trouble or to mop up.
Gotta go to Walmart for that. Watch for the sag tho
Offensive efficiency:
MSU - 1.15
UK - 0.92
eFG%:
MSU - 59
UK - 41
Meltdown on offense. MSU offensive efficiency was solid but not insurmountable. They were only outstanding from deep.

I didn't see it. I just saw the first one where you started it out with "For anyone who knows how this hire went down". Thx.
I would trade chandler in for jj otherwise agree. Some we're playing way too many guys too many minutes.
The drew stuff was public and well known. Didn't see the need to post that part since everyone knew it well.
Hey, at least we played the undercard, early game and we're not stewing in bitter anger an hour before midnight with the game winding down!
Are you ******* joking? 1.15 points per possession is excellent. Our defense is ***
Wrong. Start who ever wants to play defense. No defense, no play. Whoever can get the ball into the paint. Whoever can rebound.
Won’t matter if the coach has the big in drop coverage 10 feet from the screen.
