***** KENTUCKY @ VANDY GAME THREAD *****

[Noxium3222]

This is not acceptable. Any argument against this doesn't really matter, we have decided.

 

[ChiefPaducah]

I don’t know why I even force myself to watch.

 

[Anon470511]

I like Moreno but man the guy needs work on conditioning.

He needs to work on EVERYTHING

 

[Agent Redbone]

We just don’t guard.

 

[Cats_2010]

They have 2 guys shooting over 34% on the year. They’re hitting tonight.

They were more guarded in pre game shoot around.

 

[Lea_rivals379917]

Is this team ever ready to play?

A big part of coaching is having your team prepared and ready to play, motivation is a big part of that.

 

[AllBall]

Guess CC too worried about hat sales than playing basketball tonight.

Guys I'm dead serious, he can't dribble with his left hand the full length of the court.

 

[Zuma75]

Clown show. I turned it off. ZERO defense on the three. Wide open shots all over the place without a defender within 20 feet.

Pope may have gotten some fire the last 5 games, but this is pretty much who he is. Garbage.

And a 2nd year coach from James Madison is kicking Kentucky's ***. Think about that.

Not sure why I’m still watching but I can’t seem to take my eyes off it

 

[ala_kat2]

I have seen enough.
Pope needs to do the right thing at the end of the season.

Pope’s not the one missing shots and making turnovers.

 

[TheResistance]

 

[NoDef]

Regardless of the outcome no where near national title level.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

8-10 in the SEC. 9-9 likely. 10-8 would be overachieving at this point with this bunch of losers. We beat all the crappy teams already. Needed a miracle shot from Malachi just to be the cellar dweller of the conference.

 

[mash_24]

At this point just pull your damn team off the floor and go home if that’s all the effort they can give in a really important game. Just quit.

 

[Macys Socks]

We all know it, so I shouldn’t have to say it, but this is embarrassing.

Oh it’s been said many times in this thread and others.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

I’m not watching the game but sounds like we still suck ***. Down by 16 someone posted. Makes sense. I’m going to guess:

- we can’t hit threes
- we can’t get an open three
- we have missed 5 lay ups already
- we aren’t rebounding
- we are giving up open threes to everyone
- we have more turns that made shots
- mark is just standing there
- jasper has jacked contested/long threes
- jelly ain’t playing
- garrison has been in too many minutes
- we aren’t running any offense
- we have fouled the **** out of them

how close am I?

You’re lying! You’re totally watching!

 

[katwest]

I would have already had two technicals and chewed plenty of A—, but I don’t see any emotion from Pope, just arms crossed and looking confused. This team of unknowns is rubbing our nose in it and Pope is being out coached bad. We are lost on defense and playing scared, that’s on the coach.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Great play out of the timeout

 

[TheDude73]

The talent is there, but Pope isn't holding anyone accountable.

He never subs for punishment. He lets it ride until the TV timeout. Everyone gets their 4 minutes before ANY subs come in. We were scoreless for the first 4 minutes and he did nothing.

At least Cal would have pulled the team at 17 minutes if they weren't scoring. Or if a player or players broke down and left dudes wide open for 3s, he'd yank them that minute - even wasting a timeout to do it.

Pope is just TOO SOFT.

 

[cat tat2]

POPE GETTING EMBARRASSED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He should be used to it by now.

 

[NociHTTP]

Mo trying to get his.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Did I read somewhere that Pope has broken a record of how many times he has been blowout by the opposing team?

 

[Shaudylo]

19 pts

 

[RoyKent]

Vandy is missing their best player.

Pope has to go, now

 

[Henogee1975]

What are we doing?

 

[IH8bluedevils]

Hell even Chandler (friends) Bing, can beat us

 

[TuesdayBoost]

Did we accidentally bring the swimming team ? Planes got swapped?

 

[GoBigBlue1224]

Can you imagine how bad we’d be without Oweh?

 

[MbergCat]

I hate this so much.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Not sure why I’m still watching but I can’t seem to take my eyes off it

 

[RunninRichie]

But we won 5 in a row against middling teams! Props to Pope!

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Thanks guys for completely embarrassing the fanbase once again. Thank you Pope for being once being absolutely trash can juice in the first half again collecting data. Embarrassment.

 

[AJG-15]

We keep doing soft switches which leave every Vandy players open. Pope needs to react.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Pope’s not the one missing shots and making turnovers.

But he's also not coaching either. This is a one dimensional argument and doesn't understand there are players and coaching.

 

[wccat]

This team with about as much emotion as their coach standing on the sideline looking confused.

 

[rob_47]

Garrison should never play over Jelavic.

It’s confusing. That first shot he missed looked good. He was battling. Give the guy a chance to get going. His body is physically ready. His game is ready. Play the guy.

Yeah I really dont understand it either. Not saying thats the problem this game but nonetheless its an ongoing issue.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

down 20 in the first half.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Ok, we’re down 19. Let’s run clock?

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Oh look. Down 20 again.

 

[theBlues]

They'll find out in this one they can't just come back at will.

 

[FreedomWallace]

Convinced Garrison is mentally challenged. It is obvious to everyone except Pope, that he is basketball challenged. Reminds me of Bubba from the movie Forest Gump. Shrimp on toast, shrimp on bread, shrimp and rice
