We shot 33% tonight. That’s an anomaly as well. We were without 2 very important pieces and another who will join us sometime later. Yes. I think you’re overreacting.

Anyone declaring it a lost season is a dumbass. But we sure did suck tonight. And there's nothing wrong with being pissed about it.
Just exhibitions but from what I've seen he's looked like the worst player on the team and it's not necessarily close.

I’m concerned going forward every game we are going to have players sitting that’s what killed momentum last year, already starting headed into this season.
They better join us on Tuesday.
Yup then have stokes as his replacement next year.
knowing popes recruiting itll be a sophomore transfer from green bay
I will say what I said after the last exhibition and got eviscerated by some:
You can't look much into exhibition games. They are a horrible barometer for what will be after some time.

Yep. That's on me too. I dared to dream again last week. Damn me for that.
Yeah anyone want Stokes now lol. He can create his own that’s for sure.
I agree with this.
That was painful to watch, no doubt. We've got to get healthy, but the part that was more disturbing to me is how Georgetown manhandled us. They showed opponents how to beat us, I'm afraid. We've got to be able to handle the physicality. And we've got to hit our free throws. I think we missed a dozen free throws in this game. I love Chandler's athleticism, and that fast break, double pump dunk was awesome, but he struggles when people get physical with him. And that will become the scouting report on him, unfortunately, until he overcomes it.
Regarding Georgetown, they couldn't miss. If they shoot like that, they won't lose many. Some of those shots were wide open and just poor defense by UK, but a bunch of those were tough shots and they just made a bunch. They shot 55% for the game, which is the best for an opponent in recent memory for me.
Glad this one doesn't count. We've got a lot to work on, and we've got to get healthy.

He's fine as a rotation piece, but I hope we don't need him to reach that potential that likely isn't coming.
I turned it off at 11 minutes to go. But what I saw was turds. No offense. No defense. Torched one on one. No energy. No effort. Didn’t see MP really trying to stop it either, so maybe he didn’t care. I saw GT players def wanted it more, so did EC.
I still question our athleticism; as I did before and after Purdue. Purdue is slow as hell, and they aren’t athletic either, so there’s that.
We aren’t the good at shooting 3.
we have some issues .

I’m hoping his shot improves. Maybe he’s not back 100% yet. He doesn’t look like the same guy from last year. He’s probably never gonna be a sniper but his shooting percentage on jumpers wasn’t horrible last year.
We seem to play better in big games under Pope. We definitely laid an egg tonight.
Yep. And Noah thought he was the next thing. He’s got to step it up or he’s unplayable.
I will never understand the amount of butt whip Chandler takes. Everytime he has a bad game, you would think he was the only one. Chandler shot poorly, but his line was 11/7/3 with a -7 +-. Noah went 4/1/1 with a -16. I think if Chandler were from Hopkinsville, he might not take the same abuse
Chandler has better stats because he has ball in his hand
He was atrocious in decision making and defense
An encouraging stat is that we crushed them on the offensive glass. That was a weakness of the team last season. Our FTA/FGA was also much better than theirs. We out did them in the "hustle" and "physical" associated stats.
Otherwise, play was poor from our wing playmakers. They struggled to create. Chandler, without major improvement, is not fit to be a primary ballhandler.

Our interior defense and rebounding is not that big problem. I think we will be fine at this with JQ/Mo/Moreno/Jelavic
Main problem is our guard and wing can not guard anyone...
Could be improved with DA returning.
If a kid is competing in a real game or exhibition there sould be zero difference in effort. If the kid can't give a 100% even in practice, he is the wrong kid to have on your team.
We had our two PGs out dude. You cannot take much of anything away from this game.
We really need physical and athletic guys like Karter Knox, Billy Richmond
We need super explosive athleticism to win
We need super explosive athleticism to win
It's preseason but I agree. We will be playing teams like GT in the SEC and their defense crowded us and pushed through our screens with ease. They definitely outperformed us all game.
Pause for concern is our offense to me. We don't have a go to guy when we need a bucket.
We looked like a middle of the pack SEC team to me last night.
Lots of hope that this team can use this loss as motivation to get better.
Hopefully, JQ can get healthy and provide some … we need him to.
If you can’t see they neither of those players are Kentucky level players, there’s no discussion to be had. They both are Not elite players, at all.
