They are going to hold this over us for the rest of time, literally the one damn team you couldn’t lose to.

Yeah ... Pope answered concerns about lack of post-season success (despite the current debacle). Hopefully he answers the other big question with a strong portal haul.
Nah you weren't. We just didn't show up. And that's what hurts the most.
Outside of Oweh and maybe Noah, the rest can take a hike man.
I get it and I am sure he does too. He now knows what kind of players he needs to be successful in the SEC.
Our bigs are apparently trained to watch the ball hit the floor before trying to rebound
Down 15 and we have taken one three in the last 7 minutes. Awesome gameplan!!
Sadly it’s probably true. Maybe as a senior but we need way more talent on the court. Especially if the system breaks down.
Williams can be great and he can be equally horrible. The guy’s lack of consistency on the effort side is so freaking frustrating.
I'm glad he got to the S16. Problem is now he's set the opening standard. He has to do that or better from now on.
Less talented teams have advanced, but our talent level has been exposed many times.
Pope cobbled together a bunch of players who weren’t really star level players at their respective level. All of them have glaring holes. Butler and Oweh couldn’t shoot. The freshman weren’t 5 stars. Williams and Almonor didn’t dominate at the midmajor level.
I was impressed he had a team with Butler, Williams, and Oweh in the starting lineup, all mediocre offensive players for their career, and had them playing as a top 3 offensive unit.
You realize this team was built from nothing.
A blow out loss is exactly what we did not need.
Embarrassing
No defense
Zero effort
Oh well

Does your keyboard have a lol button? lol
I think about what happens versus what could have been.........
I think a lot of us were upset when going into the tourney, we had injuries.
We could done a good ole calipari and just lost in the 2nd round...
Maybe it's the fact we beat TN twice this year.....
Im proud that we made the sweet 16.

Your Dad.
And this is the same board where people get mad at Reed Sheppard for wearing a tshirt.
Props to Lamont, playing with one arm and gave it all he had in this tournament.
Idiotic take. They both have limitations but we don’t get many of our bigger wins w/out Williams and Carr. They were just the best we could get with Pope’s limited time to recruit once he was hired.
We do except the team forgot you have to actually play.
Its pathetic we literally lost because we wouldn't rebound. Not that we couldn't. We wouldn't.
Are you serious? Pathetic, lazy *** effort. Gave up a long time ago. Milicic left wide *** open no one around.
Love OO but he needs to work on his handle. Ball seems to get loose too much.
So? What have they ever done? If this is their crowning achievement that is just sad. If they were smart they would just be happy. But they will act like their program with zero final 4s is anywhere near ours.
That's the problem. And we have very little to counter punch with. This sucks.
At the end of the day, all the less talented teams will have or will go home.
We are going to get a final four with the four best teams in America this season IMO. Which also happen to be the four most talented teams IMO.
It's kinda amazing Pope got what he did out of this bunch.
