Losing to Louisville is so embarrassing. There on such a lower standard than us that it should be the equivalent of playing EKU every year. Just amazing how they can compete with a 22 million dollar roster.

If spending money guaranteed success the Yankees would have like 25 straight WS titles and win 120 games a year.

It's sports.

Yeah I love Oweh but just not sure he's the star many were hoping for this season.
By years end Oweh will be our 4th or 5th player. Definitely not the best. Sadly I still believe he regressed in the off season. It’s like he lost a step.

It pretty early in the year for this crap from you. I onow you are passionate firing games but damn man.

********!

There are two teams I care about beating more than anyone else, and this is one of them.

This is Stripper U for goodness sakes.

We don’t have a star, unlike UL. We’re going to have to play team ball this year. We don’t really have a go to player on offense.
This is our biggest problem. We don’t have that IT factor with one guy who can take over a game. It has to be a collective of everyone playing well and that’s not happening

We're leading in a lot of metrics they have a couple more assist than us. Only hit one more three vs taking several more.
the difference here is we've turned the ball over. Clean that up and I like the odds.

Yep.

They have a good shot at getting a 2 seed or better this year. Gotta credit your rival when it's due.
I think both of these are top 10 teams and likely both will be 1 or 2 seeds come tournament time. And I hate little brother. ACC sucks so other than North Carolina or Duke they won’t lose many.

You are correct.

We can win this game if we come out of half with a different mindset.

If we play like that we will get embarrassed the second half too.

Right now this game means more to them and it shows.

Pope is playing the wrong guys at the wrong time.

Kelsey needs to win this game. Pope wants to win it.

One of the few things I miss about early Cal and Pitino. Both of those dudes would sic the wolves on you just to prove that they were better.

I don't know if Pope has that kind of ego.

Lololol you do realize how many World Series the Yankees have won compared to everyone else and why the dodgers have won the last two right?

that may be the worst possible thing you could have said lolol

Luckily we're nowwhere near that yet, lol. He's already beat Duke, U of L, Gonazaga on the road, UT twice, etc.
I hope so. Im not anywhere near that yet. I think if anything, its our basketball "operations" that is a little lacking (approach to recruiting, shoot-arounds off campus, weak student section, etc).

Still, lot of fans are still out on Pope it seems.
