It makes quite a bit of sense. Are you watching the same game as me? Is Pope out-coaching Kelsey? Did our gameplan match the strengths and weaknesses of our squad and theirs? Get real, dude.
Big difference in how we defend. We don't do anything to disrupt. It's been that way here for the most part for the last 15 years or so. Cal and Pope are similar in that philosophy.
Garrison should have been kicked to the curb last season.
Losing an exhibition game at home and thus beat down is a problem.
they punked our asses.
straight belt to *** as the kids say.
and every single one of these paid for NIL studs need to hear about it every single day

Hopefully this loss makes these kids hungry for success going forward. Pope knows this is bad. I feel like Kam Williams should see the floor at this point.
At least this is going to send a message to the program that we need to spend on recruits. Cant be cheap. Cant rely on legacy to draw in top guys.
If we want to win, we have to send out the big pay days to elite recruits.

This team doesn’t mesh together. The shooting is a BIG concern
I am not surprised UK is losing its first road game. I am surprised we got annihilated.
We might have been better last season.
Unfortunately, we are not athletic enough to play solid defense against a quick team that can also shoot threes.
lol with soft sweet Pope?
Just no defense, last years team is in the elite 8 with even an average defense.
If we learn from this and beat Michigan State, Gonzaga and Saint Johns, it won't be as bad.
I know we hate losing to Louisville, but getting our faces punched in might mean we become a better team.
This definitely sucks, it's gonna hurt for a while, but we will be really good in March.
Pope needs talent, but I’m not sure he’d know what to do with it.
Something tells me he’ll have a lot more mistakes to learn from
So are most high school teams.
We were not prepared on offense or defense.
Our defense is hope they miss. Our offense is hope we make it.
Every single bit of excitement I had for this season is fading. I can handle a close, hard fought loss. But, what I'm seeing tonight is embarrassing.
Yep, I've been though a lot of ups and downs, but this might do it this year. Long way to go but this **** is NOT Kentucky Basketball.
And Pope of all people should know that.

Ok…none of that means Pope doesn’t deserve fans to be pissed about his coaching tonight.
Yep and the fact he has more clock than Moreno and Jelavic this game is criminal. Pope has to adapt and play the best players, no more square pegs in round holes.
It doesn’t matter who was coaching tonight. Louisville just bullied and intimidated are overhyped bunch of pansies.
Same location as Kevin Ware stress fracture that became an open fracture. Early in the season for that sort of injury though.
Idk if thats a good or bad thing for this game. I think he gets exposed by UofLs athleticism, just like the rest of the team is.
