Pope needs to answer for this. No, seriously. Guy has some explaining to do and Mitch needs to send a message.

It's not about the loss as much as it is about how we lost. Really being exposed and jacking up threes. Not good. This is not Kentucky basketball.

Clemson does not suck and Pope has not coached poorly. We just did not hit our 3 point shots. You live by the three you die bythe threes. Tough road game that will help get us ready for conference play. We got beat, congratulate Clemson and get ready for Zags.
Clemson is not a good team. They got mauled by a mediocre Boise State team. And yes, Pope has coached poorly tonight. Not many adjustments, and leaving Brea on the bench almost the entire second half. This isn't a good loss for us.

Chill dude! FFS! I bet you would have loved it if half those 3’s went down

Pope made some headscratchers tonight, but this? This a stupid *** take.

I must say the player rotations were weird as hell tonight .. very little Brea … Butler set for stretches in the 2nd half . Too many min for garrison in half 1 … and KK was gawd awful and still played quite a bit .

That's where we are. Stoops needs to be sold on being the worst guy in UK history or stepping down. If he wants the money then I'd make him show up to an empty stadium next year and lost by 50 every game and become an absolute joke. Lets put that to him.
The SEC was 8-0 against the ACC. We were supposedly the number #4 team in the country with an offensive guru and they held us in the 60s. I hope to God this works out, but we are going to have to recruit at another talent level to compete in this conference. Everyone else has decided to try to win in basketball in the SEC.

We had our chances. Still think we’re one of the teams with a chance to win it all.
Nawh this is a sweet 16 team max, and that’s if the draw is good. No guy on this team is an alpha at all, we are overrated shooting team, and our so called best player is softer than charmin

Our offensive production from the 5 has been a bit of a concern against tougher defenses. Williams in particular has struggled with turnovers and shooting against the strongest defenses we've played. Garrison and Williams don't quite fit what Pope is asking for out of his 5's. When they are stifled or anti-offense, we get stagnant and shot quality goes down.
