I don't think that stat was correct anyway. Pretty sure it said we had lost five straight against top 10 teams, but Duke was top 10 when we played.
Mark Pope just outcoached injuries, cramping, Mark Few…

- Start date
Team was better with him off the floor and his fake hustle act wears thin. You see hustle. I see fake hustle and bull**** antics that breakdown the defense, have guys cover for him being destroyed in pick and roll. Notice how their offense sucked when he was off the court?
He's always on the ****ing ground, falling/flopping around. Just glad he wasn't put back in the game as it helped them steal this win and the guys who will fight/claw were out there playing together and not doing hero bullcrap.
Seems like this stat fits in this thread nicely....
"2nd top 10 win for Coach Mark Pope. Joins Adolph Rupp as the only UK coaches to win their first 2 games vs top 10 teams"

He may! I definitely don’t want a 50 million buyout for him but he can get a raise if he gets this team far in the dance and wins the SEC his first year! Let him coach his first deal Mitch, don’t get cocky and make rash decisions yet!Win a few more games like this and Mitch might give him the golden ticket contract he is known for.
We just got out of the game. Still processing it all. Lots of cat fans there!
Well Pope wanted him on the team and praises his “hustle” so ….. I will take his view of Kerr over yours. Go Cats!
Each to their own. I'm not here to change anyone's opinion but I have a right to mine. I've watched him play his entire career. So this take isn't even UK related. It's just been magnified because I'm wanting the guy to do well and help the team win games. He's just killing them with some of the stuff that is going to lead to trouble and did lead to trouble. Just glad the adjustments were made and it really changed the game as the Zags guards didn't do much at all once he was out.
That's fine. You have every right to like him. I just don't and don't have to apologize for a different opinion. I'm excited the team won too and share your joy for that.
I will not need Tylenol until tomorrow. I am feeling REALLY good right now!!!
I haven't liked him much either, doubted him when Pope brought him in and haven't liked his play so far this year. I've dissed him far more than I've praised him. But it's just objectively wrong to say that him going out made a positive difference in the game when our big run to cut their lead came with Kerr on the floor. Kerr didn't have a bad game. You and others, like a guy I was watching with, are letting prior ideas about Kerr and his play prevent you from seeing clearly. It's not a matter of being entitled to your opinion. You're entitled to be wrong, sure, but you're being a hater who won't look at today's game in an objective manner.
I think Robinson’s height bothered Nebheart or however you spell his name. Hasn’t been the same player in the second half…

If fairness, Cal suffers from low T. How you can go from wanting to bury everyone to worried about 5 star hearts. It's science.
