***** KENTUCKY @ VANDY GAME THREAD *****
- Thread starter Farsight Clone
- Start date
Seriously, what recruit and transfer that wants to win will come to UK to play here after watching this. I’ll tell you, the same type we got this year. Is Pope gonna win a championship? Likely not. Is Pope gonna help you get to the league? probably not. Is Pope gonna promise playing time? Nope. I think we are in bad trouble
But don’t you know we have 3 players out? I mean I know lack of effort and unpreparedness is a pattern going back to last season but what is coach pope to do? Just support him man and he’ll become a great coach from the magic of fan support
After 20 minutes we are 20 down to Vandy, no Kentucky fan young or old can or will accept this. They are out hustling and out playing us in every way. We are getting out coached with Vandy players shooting wide open shots. We can’t shake them or make any decent passes and as usual struggle to score. Starting behind big every game is demoralizing, at some point it will show in your play, I see that tonight.
If we’re gonna do analytics it needs to be how far his shoe can go up somebody’s ***
Yup, a total lack of effort, like they all just took a nap. But why should they play hard, their coach just tells them everything is beautiful and he just stands there quietly. What a joke.
I can’t believe this is what UK basketball has become. Can't believe it.
Proving even bad high level college players can make wide a$$ed open 3s. Well, not Noah. But most can.
Pope will get that third year.
And then he'll win something like 24 or 25 games and lose in the sweet 16, and the same Indianaesque Kentucky fans that are covering for him now will be elated and call us out every time he wins a game against a non-top 10 team.
I'm really sick of you people that keep covering for him. You guys are the worst.

Root of the Problem = Mitch.
If Mitch never Hired Pope and went after an actual UK caliber coach, I don't think we would be in this mess.
Then 2nd blame is Pope.
Mitch has equal blame. So I agree.
If only we had a 7 footer who could block shots and rebound on the bench….
That is painfully obvious. Nor does Pope take conditioning seriously.
If there is something Pope does well as a coach what is it?
We have Vandy right where we want them.
Some of the most unlikable UK players in a long time.
Mitch should be forced out immediately.
To be fair, we having a 2nd year coach from effing BYU…before they got good.
He's required by contract to give a 6th month notice before he retires. He has yet to give that notice from what I understand.
Great point and one that probably isn’t talked about enough. If he survives the year, which he will and he comes out and wins 24/25 games next year and finishes 3rd in the SEC. Wins a game or two in the tourney, you know Barnhart extends his contract….ugh
It shouldn’t be Barnhart’s decision.
And BYU got paid 6 million for us to take him.
Is this a bad time to point out that we still have NO recruits for next year?
Good thing we have ZERO recruits for next year. Would not want any star freshmen disrupting this chemistry!
Mitch has the ability to right his wrong. But he won’t.
@Possum …here I am, badmouthing our coach again.
BYU also got much better after Pope.
D leaders select D players.
Anyone defending Pope at this stage, needs their head examined.
Let’s see what the second half brings……
I kinda feel like BYU got the better deal, huh?
To be fair, their pocketbook got much bigger when he left. That said, I’d swap teams and staffs in a heartbeat!
I think we let go of the rope this second half and finish the embarrassment in embarrassing fashion
Pope at half, "We have a lot to work on".
Dude that has been the same crap you said 10+ games ago.
Clueless

Who is leading Purdue right now.
I hope you understand what I’m talking about but if you don’t. I really don’t know how else to explain it.
