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.
We haven’t seen consistent UK basketball in years. Pitino was the last true one that played true UK basketball.

Never thought I’d say it but cant wait to get back to football!

I don’t know what this was or wasn’t. I can’t tell if UL blew their wad tonight and won’t look this good the rest of the season or if they’re legit deep run team.

I don’t know where all the Pope shooters are.

I don’t know where that Brown kid came from or how the hell UL landed him.

I don’t know about UL in November. Thought it was an interesting idea. Not so much. May need a few more warm ups before a big time game.

What???
Pope had no roster when he got here last year and still went to the Sweet 16. He may lose to a damn good team in their building. Playing without a big time talent who will eventually be back.

How about we wait till he actually does something wrong before asking how much time he gets SMH
So he has a free pass indefinitely until he does something you find morally objectable?

Makes no sense, you're crushing Pope for this game after everything he accomplished last year.
Again, name one coach that has never had a game go like this.
Last year’s team would be this year’s UK team by 15. We’re going backwards not forward.

No matter how these last 9 minutes go both these teams are top 10 teams. Louisville has executed much better better than we have. It’s a home game for them and 3rd game of the year. No need to panic but definitely things we must improve on to be a legit contender. Let’s see how much fight we have these last 9!

Unfortunately, we are not athletic enough to play solid defense against a quick team that can also shoot threes.
If we were rotating properly. Not giving up the lane, stepping into passing lanes, etc then I might agree with you. We are making a ton of mistakes on defense. I think we are not playing our best defense. Until we do that, not sure I can say we don’t have the athletes.

The 3 points shooting stands out, but the biggest key is the possession game. UL is +9 in turnovers and about even with us in offensive rebound rate. They've had about 9 more chances at the rim than we do.

You can't be top 10 with a D as bad as we have.
