What we just witnessed was what has happened ALL season, and Pope is apparently incapable of seeing it. Fought back hard to get within 1 and he idiotically puts Jasper AND BG in the game at the same time. Within a quick 25-35 seconds - the entire game flipped. We had Florida completely on their heels…..the crowd was roaring…..Oweh was hitting everything. The only thing that could stop it? MARK POPE.
He’s completely over his head at UK. He’s embarrassing himself and the university of Kentucky with every single game he coaches

And Moreno picks up ANOTHER FOUL, because his hands are down. How the F does Pope not see this? When you're hands are down, especially in the post, you end up putting 2 hands on the guy with the ball. That's a foul. So freaking stupid. Put your phucking hands up.

We'd be getting beat by 30+ right now if not for Oweh..I give him props. Everybody else just sucks.
It’s a catch 22. With him leading a team it’s going nowhere. But without him? They’d be NIT 100%. It’s on the coach to find a roster that plays well, has a high IQ leader, and stops the me ball early. Mark doesn’t none of this and then his substitutions? Guys a joke. An absolute joke.

I don’t see how he could get going. They don’t feed him and he’s not in rhythm. That comes early, they don’t do it. Again. And again.
He's playing soft twice been in the lane at the rim and he won't go up to draw contact. Gotta find other ways to score if the 3 ball aint there

I absolutely despise Mark Pope as a coach. He is very, very limited in his ability to game plane, execute and adjust in-game. Honestly, he can't be gone quick enough for me.
I’ll despise him as a person if he comes back next year with no 2026 recruits to his name, knowing damned well next year is a bust, all for the name of the mighty dollar, the Kentucky basketball program be damned.

this used to be fun. Remember? We’d be starting to really have fun this time of year.

Now we get to pay 1M out of UK athletics to give Mitch as he rides off into the sunset flipping off BBN

I legitimately wish we had BCG over Pope. I’m legitimately starting to hate Pope. He just stands around looking emotionless. It’s like he doesn’t even care. He’s Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burns.
BCG sober is 10 times the coach of mark pope. Pope is the worse coach in Kentucky history. He got a sweet 16 because of the NIL and Kentucky brand early. That’s it. It’s now his show, without the extra help from the brand. All those guys came in hearing the name Kentucky. That’s not gonna help now. Here is the real mark pope.
