I was seriously thinking this game would be a win, even in the shape we’re in. How the hell do we beat anyone in this conference?

Well, how are you feeling about Pope now?
Same as before. He isn't going to be fired and even if he were, MB will not hire who I want. Pearl did everything but stand outside Rupp woth a will work for food sign after Cal left and didn't get a sniff

I blame it all on the injuries and JMI.

Just give Pope time.

No other coach will want to take this job if we only give Pope 2 years.

It's not like we landed a quality coach when we were on probation or after we had a two-year coach with Billy Clyde Gillespie.

Pope understands the assignment.

Gratitude, gentlemen. Gratitude.

He was given 22 million dollars for this roster, if he misses the tournament, he's gone. He has to be fired at that point.

Took me less time to get there than I thought. Pope can’t come back next year. No passion, no fight, extremely stupid basketball team. Let’s move on next year.

Pope will just go "ummm" n post game with Tom tonight. Coward may not come out.

During crunch time we had our young center trying to throw back door bounce passes after he almost took Owehs head off on a simple cheat pass. This is Pope, all Pope. Terrible coaching, he doesn’t know how to win. We hired a coach that has no history of winning.

Heck, Mitch Barnhart apparently called at least 2 dozen potential coaches and they all told him “no”. Obviously only Mark Pope wants to coach here and no one else!

My question is why was Lowe not in the game in the last minute except on that last possession?

At least Kenny Payne dressed sharpe. Mark Pope dresses in 1960’s polyester suits. Can’t even be a loser in style. Unless there is a miracle, Pope is done. There is no returning from the performance this year.
