An absolute screw job. Refs should be investigated.

No KY coach has ever trailed by more in more games or had longer scoring droughts.
Was that a hook and hold against Mo on the missed free throw? But nobody is going to bail him out because his attitude/body language is horrific.
We gotta post up against Tennessee and force the refs to blow the whistle. We have only went down low one time the entire game.
We aren’t winning this game playing man to man. They are just going to continue to wear us down in the paint. We need to stay in that full court press and drop back into a 2/3 zone and live with their outside shooting.
I guess we’re playing Dioubate more instead of Jelavic due to toughness under the goal. But Dioubate is useless on offense.
One saving grace right now, Jasper seems to be getting more confident in steering this offense
With the college basketball player scandal going on, they need to flip over to the officiating.
I am not making excuses... we suck.
however this game is not being called equally.
these refs should be investigated.
someone should tap them on the shoulder (Tenn doesnt need help)

One of the most lopsided officiating jobs I’ve ever seen. That was extremely bad
I ran that one back and he was fouled twice, bodied hard the first time and a reach in arm slap the second. Thats a foul on our end, but not theirs. When you are his size and and get moved, its a foul.

Johnson and Chandler played well the first half. Thats about it
Down 11 at the half. We got em right where we want them.
I do not feel too bad about this. The team is improving. The roster is working itself out. Mo soon won't be getting any time.

A coach should absolutely fight for his guys. That just isn’t in Pope and it’s a problem. We’ve received a bad enough whistle today I’d have been gone about half way thru.

You just can't play Mo D. The guy is a disaster on offense.
Jelly spent way too much time on the bench. I will never understand Pope's thought process with how he plays these guys. You can't play Mo and BG together, but he keeps doing it.

Can we end Popes love affair with Chandler? Sure he shoots 40% from three but other than that he brings no other positives. Not to mention he is afraid to shoot when open half the time. If he’s in there to shoot he needs to shoot immediately when open, not second guess it.
If I were Pope, I would have already gotten ran twice. Huge calls making big swings in the game
Due to the way Pope used him, he’s likely going to be a heck of a player for another team next year.
Seriously I think Pope relishes getting down big and making a heroic comeback. We will see if UT is as accommodating as lsu was.
11 point game that at worst should be tied. Anyone that knows me, knows I’m not one to always blame refs, but, that was the biggest screw job in a half I’ve seen since the UNC game in 17
Yep! He was CLOBBERED! I fvcking HATE NCAA refs! Idgaf what anyone says, they’re on the take! Get so tired of people saying it’s just a conspiracy. Nope! Too consistent to be a conspiracy.
That’s probably our only hope.
We damn sure can’t guard them man to man.
Try something.
MD is detrimental to our team at this point. He needs to be on the bench and only come in if we get into serious foul trouble. He thinks he is Steph Curry and makes some of the dumbest decisions.
You have the exact guys who can help us. Except it’s not enough. And we’re running out of bodies. And Pope sits a guy like Jelavic for a lapse and let’s Mo make mistake after mistake.
Mos best chance is getting an assist when his shot bounces off the side of the backboard. And there’s a poster on here saying I have a terrible take because I said jelly should be playing
Did we watch the same half? Johnson absolutely played well. Chandler did not. Making a few open 3s doesn’t make up for all the other intangibles Chandler lacks.
The funny thing about Mo is he just stands there guarding his invisible opponent, constantly looking right and left like he's counting red cars going down 75.
Or the preachy **** about how we have to fire him after just two seasons from the posters that live on here.
How about you realize posters aren’t deciding the coaches fate? And you quit humiliating people for having a different opinion than you? It’s not the posters fault at all.
ive seen enough give pope 3 more years^^^This^^^
