I don’t care who you are, you can’t lose to Iowa state by 20 something in the 2nd round of the NCAAS and keep you job very long at Kentucky. Their best player was out and we couldn’t even bring the ball the court and get into our offense. The refs sucked but we sucked worse with no adjustments to be made.

Now is must see TV as to what happens in the offseason.

This is the most imp[ortant time, if you ask me.

Bye Bye Mitch.

Get new AD
Pope has the biggest job in the world next year, if he gets to keep the job.

I seriously can't believe this situation is even in existence
Absolutely… next what - 6 weeks? Should tell a whole lot.

If you support a third year after witnessing this game you are an enemy of the program.
We don't support it, we just expect it.
Hell, we don't even have an AD.

If I was the AD, I would have a list of about 20 things that need to change and somewhere in there, would be Pope's soft personality and his lack of grit on the sidelines.

Lose 10 games in 26/27 and you're out. Don't mismanage donor funds ever again.

This is a a really good IS team - in this tourny, almost anything can happen. Some days it’s just not your day.

Think of all the bums on here who support the head Bum
How about the ones that think some weak a$$ man bun wearing 3rd team all ACC PG was the difference in this game? Or any other game? Can’t make this **** up. The excuse makers are just as soft as the head loser himself.

I would assume that Pope has forgotten more than I’ll ever know about basketball,

but I could see that Iowa State made adjustments, they started using full court pressure and trapping.

On the other hand, I have seen no adjustment on UK. Just standing around no movement and dribble dribble dribble.
When your team has poor handles, and weak hands, you can't do much but stand around.

Terrible loss, but show the proof of a $22M roster. I'll wait.
More people than me including some of Popes best friends in the media reported it. I’ll go with that over your “feeling” that they didn’t spend that much. I have just as much proof as you do.

The media should go hard on Pope, but they won’t. The man has been giving Kentucky admin’s blessing to walk all over the program.
No way! They hope UK keeps him around for a very long time! Meanwhile, they were out in force talking about why it’s the right thing to do, for UNC to part ways with Davis😂

Yeah, I don't take anything away from Iowa State, I have enjoyed watching them this year. I said it before - Otzelberger would kill it here if he were coach at UK. I've seen quite a few Iowa State games this year, I like them. Good luck to them.

But now, for Kentucky fans - Big Blue Nation, Big Blue WORLD : GET READY ....

Time for a trial
