Why did he pick THIS game to keep Chandler in forever?
Two Kentucky kids have played better all year. I thought Trump did away with DEI, but Pope wanted to play the Mormon. Just kidding though. Just kind of fit with the times. A whole different lineup tonight.

Give me a break. We all know that this team isn't loaded with talent and we knew this would be an uphill battle without Butler.
You're not seeing the bigger picture. Its the consistent issues from this team that has not been fixed. Pope gets a pass this year. The point of my response there, is about consistency. If this year is consistent next year and beyond, it won't look good for Pope.

What are you even talking about? Nobody's talking about being ok with losing. We're talking about not being a whiny quitting *****.

But since we're on the subject, having no perspective and acting like every loss is an existential crisis doesn't make you hard. It makes you a moron who needs to get out and touch grass every once in a while.

You're embarrassing yourself.
Dude, I wish you would even try to say that to me in person right now.

I can't believe we have fans that are okay with this. Gfy.

Gotta listen to Jerome Tang and go get dawgs. Pope has many great attributes as a coach but this team gets out toughed every single time they lose and that's an extension of him. Otega is the only cornerstone I feel comfortable rolling with. Garrison is bad more than he's good. Perry + Chandler + Noah are young and can improve but not sure I'd like them to be anything more than 11th/12th/13th men. This freshman class coming in is talented but kinda soft. Need to bring in 4-5 dawgs.
Hard to argue that.

Pope is now 1-4 in the last four games. This is a massive turd on the resume. This is the one game UK fans didn't want to lose, and for Pope to make no adjustments is awful. He deserves all the crap coming his way. The honeymoon is over--nostalgia doesn't win games.
He said he was coming here to win banners, not lose to freaking Arkansas at home. I wonder if that group chat of his '96 championship teammates are going to destroy him "every time something goes wrong," like this, as if that has worked all year.

It’s not. He has absolutely shortened the fans’ patience tonight. This game cost him far more favor than the Georgia or Ohio State losses, and you know it. This was THE must win game this season even before it started. This loss will leave lasting disgust from the fan base.
Ok you're entitled to your opinion, but i disagree.

I'm a little curious why you think you speak for all of BBN?

This team better learn to value the ball and quit turning it over double digits. Might want to practice free throws too. And Popes lineups at times suck.

I really dont like this team.

Name me the last non-front court player (not Briscoe) that would miss two free throws on a technical.

This team sucks.

I'm really disappointed in Pope tonight. When You understand the assignement, you dont ****ing lose to calipari and arkansas. Better look at your ****ing syllabus again
What was Pope supposed to do without a point guard and little piggies shooting like they are great shooters?

No, f&ck that, we LET Cal do this. We left shooters open all game. Pope had all season to fix this defense and he didn't do it.

This right here is ******** and not good enough. There is no reason to be this bad defensively and since we are 21 games in, it is what it is, we just suck and apparently it's not getting any better.

This cost us a seed line and a lot of **** eating. Glad we have fans that are good with it. I'm not. until Pope proves he can coach defense, I'm out.
you'll be on here by the next game

The "fans" are out in full force. Loses suck but not as bad as some of you on this board.

Go ahead and tell us all what you coaches would have done differently.

Act like Ark didn't play out of their minds. Avg 60 and 3-4 3s a game. Its the Kentucky effect. But I'm not gonna be miserable with all you tonight. We will be playing longer than Ark and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Enjoy your loathing fest. I'm sure it will be a doozy. Already seen the regulars starting up! 🤣 🤣

Clearly, there seems to be a lack of accountability for his inability to implement a halfway decent defense this far into the season.
