We're decimated with injuries. Our three primary ball handlers are out, and our next best guard had to leave the game in the first half after he was elbowed in the face.

Anyone complaining about Pope's substitution patterns or the overall talent level of our team based on this game knows very little about basketball or is just pissed off and looking for something to ***** about.

Alabama is what we're hoping to become, at least from an efficiency standpoint. Only three-point attempts and shots at the rim. We just don't have the players at this point to be able to get those looks. Haven't since Kerr went down and we lost Butler for the first time.

15 scholarships next year. We need to bring back as many guys as possible from this team. Continuity and experience together are key. That's one of the main reasons Alabama is as good as they are.

Embarrassing. We have one of the top NIL budgets in the nation and Louisville with a new coach probably on a better projectory than us and both coaches are first year. Got to get some studs. I don't even think that Louisville's best transfer was even eligible this year.

Firing bricks, playing lazy on defense, missing free throws, playing lineups that make no sense, playing Perry endlessly… .this is a big fat F- for everyone in blue. this is ***. So disappointing.
They are gassed man. Probably didn’t get to bed until 4 am

I trust Pope to find the right pieces in the portal to complement the freshmen coming in. He has more time to find players than last year and he has earned the goodwill of the boosters to put up competitive NIL.

The five teams I'll be cheering for this March:

#1. Kentucky
#2. St. John's
#3. Whoever is playing Duke
#4. Whoever is playing Kansas
#5. Whoever is playing UNC (assuming they make the tournament)
I’m only UK and once UK is done I get mad and angry and turn it all off. I still act like I’m 5 even though I’m 45 🤣. I just pour so much into it and will until the day I die I guess. I was up till 1:30 am last night and got up at 4am and went to work today. It’s just what we do as BBN!

Pitiful performance in the last few minutes. Pope is right...they have quit but the guy needs to coach with a little

And Pope's player gets knock down in front of him and he says nothing. Maybe if they could see a little fire from their coach. Instead of the clapping.

Louisville is in the soft ACC. Get your head straight.

This team is done man. They want to get the hell off that floor as soon as possible. Embarrassing effort. I understand we are missing players. I get it. But they are putrid tonight in evert facet of the game.

Turnovers
Missed shot after missed shot
Missed free throws
Rebounding
Fouling
More turnovers

We haven’t done anything right. Looks like they don’t care out there.
I'd guess playing until 130 am earlier in the day might have been a small factor.. But yea..

Down 20 and it becomes about pride. Loves these dudes tho
Pope if he has any grit, needs to sit the five on the floor for lack of effort. They have embarrassed UK. Quitters have no place on a Kentucky basketball team. We have a handful on our team. Pope has to show some damn backbone and chew some *** on the bench when he takes these quitters out. He may be too soft for UK.

Dang, we are really making a case for the committee to drop us to the 4 seed line with this stinker! We are totally overmatched.
