Yep. Pope can finally get a good nights sleep.
I hope stuff clicks for this team so I can put my team schedule back up lol.
Tonight was the first time I've seen offense this year.

Thank god. Keep it up please.
Maybe the guys who got run tonight are getting it finally. Just run with who got the minutes tonight the rest of the year.
I'm happy for Pope, he needed that win more then any of us, happy for his family also, you know it's been like a funeral around his house.
We really are a better shooting team than we have shown against good teams. We just need to make enough to be a threat, so we can run good stuff. Today was a start
Feels good, especially since we won by a lot and looked good going away
Agreed. Cherry on top is that Kam is starting to believe...
And we need more Jelly.
Shared the ball
Full court pressure - Yeah!
Players actually cut and moved
Happy for Denzel (I have been a critic), Jelly, and Collin
Outstanding play by OO, Denzel, Malachi
Most important aspect - players were smiling, talking, and acting like teammates that liked each other sans Mo and CMP looked like a great weight had been lifted

Helluva turn around. Play some good team basketball once they settled in. Had contributions from multiple players. Oweh & Moreno were huge tonight. Aberdeen & Williams too.
Gotta beat LSU. Can’t go 1-2 in what we desperately needed to be a 3-0 stretch.
At this point we really need a win over a good team for our tourney resume.

I really think we might’ve sort of turned a corner tonight. Sort of looked like we knew what we were doing the last 30 minutes.
As of today, we are a tournament team — we weren’t on the bubble yet before this game. The Missouri loss was Q2 not a Q3 like was first reported. The version of Kentucky that played tonight — yes MSST is not good — tonight’s Wildcats were a good team. Lot of work to do, but I got that bit of hope back that it isn’t over. Call it cope —- it’s fine — but I’m on the hope for now.
Fantastic performance. Let’s go. Erase the past, and move forward. Terrific effort tonight!
Gotta win the next two! Just gotta! Beat UT especially!
This. Barnes should've hung it up last year. They're struggling too.
They’re not great. They had won six in a row, however.
Yeah, that too!
EDIT: My point was that the offense looks MUCH better, even without Lowe.
The worrisome thing is this team sucked and we never have two good games in a row. Honestly fortunate to turn this one around after the start again.
If we could beat a couple good teams maybe guys will start to accept their roles and believe a little. I sure hope it’s coming. I hate being miserable for so long during bball season.
No joke. I can even take a bad year if our guys are trying and just can't do it. But this bad effort/bad beef whatever is just infuriating.
Nope. They're all good to me. Conf play is that important in my eyes. But I understand what you're driving at.The sarcasm just whiffed you I see.
Until this team does this multiple games in a row I will treat it like my golf game. A stretch where I had everything going great over the last 14-15 holes and couldn’t wait to T it up again and **** the bed.
I appreciated seeing Pat Riley jump in our time out huddle with a clip board early in the first half. It seemed to help
Yeah. Good win for momentum if nothing else and so we don't start conference 0-3. But overall my opinions on the season are pretty unmoved after this game
We have not yet shown that we can learn from our wins and why we won those games.
LSU is another must win
I thought they turned on the D in the Indian and St. John second halves... but it's always in the 2nd half
And some people in the game thread were saying he looked old. Lol, any of us would be lucky as hell to look like that at 80. He is swag personified
If we could somehow get the Lowe from the st John's game added to the team we saw tonight , we'd have a d*mn good ball team
I’m chalking this season up to be what it is, a team that injuries messed up chemistry. Probably not as talented together as they looked on paper and a growing year. Popes offense is complicated(if you listen to the pundits). These kids can’t seem to grasp it well. I’m going to do my best to enjoy this season for what it is. If we can keep some key pieces going into next year and snag a couple of nice pieces in the portal I’m not giving up on Pope yet. That being said, I would assume he’s on pretty thin ice heading into next season so his recruits out of the portal better be can’t misses.
Quad 1 win opportunities remaining:
LSU
UTx2
Vandyx2
Arkansas
UFx2
UGA
AU
TAMU
We will need to get at least 5 wins out of that group of games to reach 10 wins in conference.

St. John's is a slightly better of a win than IU since it came on a neutral court.
