***** Kentucky vs Iowa State Game Thread *****

[UKortho]

What would you think of the Iowa State coach here? Seems like a good coach.

TJ FAR > than dopey

[true-blue1]

WE ARE IRRELEVANT!!!! BARNHART KILLED UK BASKETBALL!!!!!

 

[Wildcat7662]

I’d be thrown out, Oweh gets judo chopped in the lane, no call, 3 seconds later the referee that should have called it whistles a weak *** And 1

Oh I’d love him here. But why would he leave to come here? It’s not an upgrade anymore. And that sucks!

 

[SouthernKyKat]

Well it's nice outside. So long

 

[Cats4321]

This is getting embarrassing. Not the score, but just how unorganized and pathetic we look.

 

[TFCat11]

Blowout City incoming

 

[Bugs092056]

Mark my man, read the room

 

[theBlues]

Better put Jasper in Mark; they're obviously just tired.

 

[bleedsblue5]

Well I think that was probably it boys. Been a fun toxic relationship, gonna go slit my wrist and grab some rubbing alcohol to feel some pain that I at least caused

 

[MychalG]

The fat lady has found the stage and is getting her pipes warmed up. The wheels have fallen off. IA State's defense is overwhelming us.

 

[cocheese51]

I’ve seen enough, out to cut my grass, Pope needs to be un-coached at the end of this game!

 

[bbnkat02]

I can remember when this used to be fun and even if we lost, we gave teams hell.

Nothing feels fun anymore man. High prices, ****** jobs, and now crappy basketball.

 

[wccat]

A once proud basketball program has become this. Analysts saying we won't win even with their best or 2nd best player out. Thank you MP and MB. The sad part in these losses is we aren't even competitive.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I dunno what we were expecting here tho.

We were tired and playing 2 games in 3 days

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

No need to continue the Pope experiment m, he’s shown he’s way over his head. He’s BCG pt2 but sober and Mormon

 

[dckala2_]

Year 3 of the pope experiment better have 2 f’n ball handlers.

 

[Catlogic1552]

Wanted to support Pope. But an embarrassing lose for him.

 

[19CatOfBlueBlood96]

Time to go Krogering.

9th In the SEC like basketball.im in

 

[Anon1628387640]

Up 20-8

44-20 Iowa State run.

This isn't Kentucky Basketball.

 

[HenryMuto]

This is horrible to watch..............smfh

The problem is what hope do we have for the future ?

 

[Kameron50]

ISU's players aren't even that good just a massive coaching gap.

 

[Noxium3222]

Surely someone has invented an AI basketball coach. Pope can clap and cheer all he wants just let the AI run the subs/sets/TOs etc.

 

[UKCowboys]

I’m really disappointed in pope. He hasn’t called Time out and adjusted the offense. We have no rotation everyone just standing around dribble dribble dribble. And we’re playing inside the Arc on defense. So yeah, we deserve to be getting our asses kicked.

Yeah. Have the refs been ****? Absolutely dog****. But having Moreno out there and Jasper at all has been inexcusable. I said last game BG and Mo should start today and our starters should play 35 minutes. We might foul out three guys but play your best players till they do

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Pope about to have his 2nd ncaa tourney loss by double digits at UK. For all the grief we give cal (some deservedly so), dude never lost 1 ncaa game by double digits. Dude was king of devastating close losses.

 

[BetterThanYou]

My favorite memory of the season is when we get across half court and then we turn away from the basket and stick our butt out and just stand there.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

What would you think of the Iowa State coach here? Seems like a good coach.

Buddy…I’d take YOU as the coach over this stiff and his staff. But yeah, obviously he’s an upgrade. But he ain’t leaving Ames. Wife played there. He’s from there. It’s his Camelot. Iowa people are weird too. They actually like the damned place. It’s so odd. (Cue the posters from there that talk about how cool it is)

 

[UKAlum84]

I dont blame pope, refs are strange in the tourney and we are a 7 seed. So the program is going as intended.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Something tells me every tournament elimination will feel exactly like this game. Blown out by UT last year. About to get run out of the gym by mighty ISU without their star player. Rinse and repeat as long as Pope is head coach.

 

[SBKY]

I’d be thrown out, Oweh gets judo chopped in the lane, no call, 3 seconds later the referee that should have called it whistles a weak *** And 1

I’d be thrown out if I was in the crowd and Pope put in Jasper Johnson when up 12

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Our program is dying.

 

[ala_kat2]

Where are all the Pope pumpers pumpin their chest after the shot sayin we're beatin ISU??
Guess they thought Pope would overnight turn into the wizard of Westwood.

Pope killed momentum as usual in first half, no recovery since, no adjustments nada.

I said ISU may truck us. It's a runaway 18 wheeler now.

Yeah, Pope is not what we need, and these players can’t handle their pressure and there’s nothing he can do about it. We need Acuff at point guard!

 

[UKortho]

I remember when Kentucky fans filled the stands for the tournament. Our program is down bad

Man this is real. There were three games last year that I couldn’t give away.

 

[HenryMuto]

Finally puts Garrison back in

 

[Jp1542]

3 on Chandler and Oweh. 5 fouls already. Refs have decided to put ISU in the bonus for the last 13-14 minutes. Meanwhile they are slapping the ****out of arms, bumping, hacking, and 3 fouls. Its a damn joke man, Im sorry

We apparently don’t have back picks and back door plays in our playbook.

Haven’ has a screen in the playbook all year.

 

[Farsight Clone]

We are now playing like we have all year.

 

[elijahpep]

Pope experiment over..........Let's move on.

 

[ifer1116]

It's been so long that I've forgotten what good basketball looks like. The finish last game was enjoyable, but I wouldn't say I've enjoyed watching UK basketball as a whole in a number of years.

 

[TX Wildcat]

Need more of the LSU fan at this point!
