I really don't think it's even mostly him- BUT it is his job to fix it.

You don't have the wins he did last year and not be a decent coach. Something is very wrong with this team. I just don't know what.

I blame the players much more than the coach. No coach alive could have helped this team tonight.

I've seen turn arounds by teams, but really the only way to make this work out, is to win out in the sec conference.

Does that happen? I don't see it but I can't see why not as long as we learn to play the game again.

Thank God that's over.

Somebody take Yeller out into the field.

Awful.

With all the deserved negativity towards this team, how many will show up for the next game? Team needs to be sent a message loud and clear. They are getting paid. Earn it!!!

If Pope doesn't make some heads roll this weekend, then he needs to be honest and take ownership.
Logically, he would be taking ownership if he made heads roll. I'm concerned that he won't do ANYTHING and just continue with the Captain Whisperpants interviews while he prays it all goes away.

Oh, they'll show up. "Get'er done, 'dem boys are going to make a comeback next game"

Pope has three of the worst losses in UK history margin wise. Lost to Alabama by 29 last year in SECT and lost to Ohio State by 20.

I fail to see the joke because between my faith and my tech I know that's true. Just my faith tells me the finale- right prevails.

Just would like to see things I love not completely die before that time.
Wasn't going that deep with it, I was just thinking of it in terms of IU possibly doing this to us in Rupp next weekend (which to me will be way worse than tonight's debacle)

Nah, I know man. UK Basketball used to be one of my nice little escapes from the BS of the state of the world. Thankfully, I still have a couple of good ones left, but they've dwindled over the past few years

I remember that season where Tubby Smith's Wildcats started 4-4. At least in most of those losses, Smith's Cats were competitive and had a chance to win three of those games. They also ended up finishing 23-10, and were even 23-8 at one point.

But this team has quit on Pope. This is horrific.
Of the worst 20 or so losses post Rupp being hired, three are Mark Pope in a year and change.

Man I'm torn, cause I hate to give up on a team and I really like Pope, but the product on the floor so far this year is disturbing. Really not looking forward to that IU game next weekend, feel like karma is about to pay us back for that long thread we had going on here, this team about to get a bump thread started for us.
Nothing will change their ineptitude the last 40 years. They can have one win against the single worst team of my lifetime. I guess they can thump their chest about that. I want to beat them but this team is checked out on all fronts.

The coaching staff is in over their head, the players hate each other, they are selfish, lazy, and don’t even try. As soon as the game is 3-0 they quit.
