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.
Now don’t act like you ain’t excited about that calculated comeback in the second half these beautiful souls are about to give BBN.

There's a great coach with outrageous fire that would come here for $100,000 a year, and he's not even coaching right now. I'm talking about Pearl.
I'd take him. Even if we only had him for 5 years or so, he would jump start this program immediately.

Pope's a really nice guy but he's not here to be a nice guy. He's here to win games, and so far he's done a really horrific job of that.

We have enough problems, but seriously. Why do we start every game 10 out of 40?
You ain’t lying. But we could shoot wide open too if we’d pass. How many contested layups in a crowded paint have we shot with guys wide open on the perimeter? We’ve only shot 4 inside/out threes and made 2 of them. None of those were off drives.
we could shoot 5 on 1 in the first half and still miss 90% of our shots.

Our players don't improve with our current coaching staff. In fact they seem to get worse each season, example Brandon Garrison. I'm starting to believe, John Wall would have been a 2nd round pick under Pope.

Byington whining about Tanner getting hammered - shut the hell up! Y’all been getting away with that Tennessee crap on drives all half.

FT 3-8 …..
rebounds with one hand

not protecting the ball when in your hands

dont box out

dont set screens

run under each screen

if this was a jv girls middle school team plying first time basketball, I would understand..

you re getting paid 22mil to play and Pope 5 mil plus to coach…..this is almost criminal…..

Pope’s not the one missing shots and making turnovers.
Come on brother who built and recruited this roster and who is coaching this shitshow, be honest. I was a fan of the hire but bluntly it’s a disaster and regardless of injuries they were getting curb stomped before these opt uts.

Lack of effort just can’t be excused away. And it happens time and time again. I believe it’s the players who think they are too cool to play hard and have already been paid. But a coach has to hold them accountable. I’d pull them all off the floor and go home. I really would.

Just thought I'd start one.

It's either going to be 81 - 68 Vandy

or

74-72 UK

Lol

And classic, I hope Arky and the sooners don't go to OT
I learned to have this voice to text do you guys really want to hear my opinion of the game? I mean, I can talk forever especially about this nightmare that we’re living in as a fan base right now I mean you got a leader for a quarter century everything’s on a downward trajectory football is probably neutral. Why are we still have this athletic director? That’s a real question people need to start asking big changes need to be made in this in the entire culture UK athletics. Vandy is overtaken us basketball and football think about that.

Trying my best to like this team but it’s so hard, they play so dumb and nonchalant on the road. No sense of urgency until down 15, & making AAs out of guys that are only playing D1 cause they’re tall. They ran the same play all half and scored about 20 points on it before we adjusted, how dumb are we???
