should have been obvious after that UNC game that Pope was not making it to the end of the season. We are about to go like 9-22.
****Indiana versus Kentucky game thread****
- Thread starter UKortho
- Start date
All I can say is at Kentucky you can’t get down 10…20 every single game against real competition. You can’t it’s not acceptable. How long will Big Blue accept it?
Even if JQ comes back it probably wont matter because we cant shoot!
Get blown out by IU and see how quick that changes.
I agree they’re no better than the teams we’ve won against, it has to be between the ears
Going to lose to Indiana and UNC at Rupp. SEC play will be brutal. This team might not win 5 more games.
I wouldn’t bother me at all if Lowe left the team right now, at halftime!
Everyone at the game should leave right now. Let them play to an empty arena. That would be classic
Give it time. If Wilkerson hits some threes to begin the half, they may blow it open.
We don't use our advantage in the paint anyways. Mark Dope is asleep at the wheel.
It was a panic hire. His top two prospects told him to sit and spin. And he had no clue what to do.
Energy is much better but it’s like Charles says - all 1:1 and only one real play run.
IU is fouling like crazy so I think we win this one. Even if offense is ugly, if Pope can convince them to play energetic and better defense we might be able to make a turnaround.

It’s not losing faith bubba. Just gotta be honest. We are what they show us. Charles said it best walla go. How can Pope be mad? We are playing hard I guess. We just aren’t that great of a team.
If “fire” has you down 11 to Santa Clara, I’ll pass. I’d just like some damn coaching. How about some confident leadership so our guys don’t look like they are visiting a funeral?
This was s
i disagree that he has athletes. They drive to the paint and ARE AFRAID TO SHOOT THE BALL AGAINST INDIANA
Hate watching good FT shooting teams. It’s like rubbing salt in the wound.
Our “offense” sucks. 32% from the floor. Ouch.

I’d say burn Hawthorn redshirt and let him run point, it can’t be any worse than the two we have
Never seen a UK team that had this much trouble scoring. Can't even shoot freethrows. This IU team not elite.
To be even more fair, we currently have no less than nine current NBA All-Stars and one current NBA MVP who made through this program and our fan base just fine. This is the program that produces Hall of Fame coaches as coaches, former assistants, and former players (Riley, Rupp, Pitino, Calipari, Donovan). It's a program for killers. If someone can't handle that mentally, I question their desire to compete at the highest level.
Score has nothing do with what I posted. The fact that he's amped up. People can't think anymore. There is a thing called nuance.
That’s a bit much…give me Pearl fire but not freaking Hurley ***** fire.
You’re right, my man. Sorry too angry to think clear.
$22 million dollar scrubs. For far too long Kentucky Basketball has been a fading brand. All of the joy around the program has been sucked out for years.
That move to sign Lowe and ran off acaden Lewis was the first domino to fall in this awful offseason
what in the hell was pope doing signing a kid shooting 38% and 26%3pt
Even if they miraculously come back to win this game, this team is going nowhere.
The issue is mitch shouldn't have been fixated on Drew. He caught lightning n a bottle at Baylor.
Mitch is an uptight douche and let thar determine his considerations. Oats and pearl should have gotten interviews. And Lloyd. At least those 3 turn u down before u make a panic hire.
Are you serious? I know we're sucking but good freaking grief our luck has been AWFUL.
We don’t have No one that can just get a bucket.
Pope’s callings are rapidly running out of excuses.
My greatest fear is that Mitch gives Pope another year, and then he does just good enough (21 to 23 wins) next year to stay on board. Then we officially sink to Indiana level.
