Kentucky @ Louisville Game Thread

[CUJO_1970]

We didn’t win halftime apparently

 

[JimboBBN]

Defense is really, really bad.

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Have I just missed it , has Jasper played

 

[Tri-Countycat]

We aren’t gonna win many games where our opponent hits 10 plus 3s

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Just asleep on D

 

[JakeKx]

Our D is just as bad as last season.

Coach still the same guy

 

[RunninRichie]

WTF OWEH?

 

[rick64]

 

[bbnkat02]

Yeah, but you have trashed him in several posts. The players are the ones crapping the bed here. What do you want Pope to do?

Make adjustments would be great. Haven't seen that this half yet. And for a guy who said he's focused on D, man we haven't shown that.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

shooting, that's it. you cannot overcome a disparity like this. the defense is also a huge factor for allowing these in-rhythm shots off dribble penetration.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

I never imagined they would be this much better than us.

22 mill and we couldn’t work in one super stud?
This team can’t score. Last year team wins by 15

 

[kybassfan]

Unless pope stops getting soanked by the midget it’s gonna be 20 plus

I’m contacting ESPN to see why my feed is delayed

 

[Kingslayer07]

Would be curious to see the plus minus on the first 4 minutes without Lowe in each half. It's not good.

 

[Anon1751335390]

The good news is that we've scored 9 points in less than 4 minutes.

The bad news is that UL has 13.

I think Oweh wanted to pass it to Moreno there.

 

[RunninRichie]

It’s time to get concerned about Pope’s ability to coach defense.

 

[I’m The Village Idiot]

We aren’t getting out-talented. We are getting outcoached.

 

[Drogon]

UK BALL!!!!

 

[MbergCat]

The difference in JJ and Brown is astounding.

 

[ala_kat2]

Sorry but I hope Garrison leaves after this season.

I hope he leaves next week.

I never imagined they would be this much better than us.

i did. I’ve seen them play.

Louisville gonna get 100+ for the third straight game. Should not happen. I know scoring is easier but still.

 

[JakeKx]

We woulda been better off paying two really good guys 11 million a piece and playing with scrubs for the rest instead of this collective garbage we’ve assembled

 

[UKortho]

Pope’s second year team is not better than last years team (at this point in the season). $22 million? Dude we overspend on mid guys? Pope needs to recruit better.

 

[philstat]

Louisville is a much better prepared team!

 

[Pensacola_Cat]

We aren’t a good shooting team. How many times did that kill Cal’s teams? We have some very good players (a lot of them), but no stars. Pope has to recruit better.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

20 million dollars for a roster you have to beat little brother that’s all there is to it!

 

[MidseasonTweak]

It's going to be hard to overcome their shooting

 

[Colts240]

Pope doesn’t look like the guy with the same fire as last year

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Louisville puts perimeter players on the court who can all handle the ball, get by people and truly shoot, not just standstill wide open looks created by other people. they are also significantly quicker than us. not great for $22 million.

 

[sefus12]

Have I just missed it , has Jasper played

He has, just not well. Though to be fair most of our guys have looked like sh*t tonight.

 

[KYFOSSIL]

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.

Yeah, I get it

 

[UKCowboys]

uh, yeah

Ridiculous take. I'm not seeing poor effort. Im seeing some poor technique on defense (early in the season) and a good team shooting the ball against us.

 

[blackcat714]

Seems like Louisville getting away with some walks

 

[RunninRichie]

Pope’s second year team is not better than last years team (at this point in the season). $22 million? Dude we overspend on mid guys? Pope needs to recruit better.

2 biggest issues with Pope are recruiting and defense.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

We aren’t a good shooting team. How many times did that kill Cal’s teams?

I really thought that would end with Cal.

 

[bbnkat02]

Just because that call pissed me off so much......

"Jump Ball"

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

Yeah, but you have trashed him in several posts. The players are the ones crapping the bed here. What do you want Pope to do?

Land some better players

 

[UKJenning]

Last years UK team was better.

 

[KYSouthpaw]

Pope always has great changes at the half. That was my only gripe on him last year. He always seemed to make good changes at the half (maybe after he sees stats?) I wish he could do more changes like that in the first half.

And we immediately give them 3 wide open 3's.
Adjustments? What adjustments?

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Have I just missed it , has Jasper played

Yes but not well.

 

[Drogon]

UK ball. It doesnt get to bounce 3x OOB and hit the UK player ffs
