If I was almost 7 foot I would be dunking every chance I could. I don't understand guys with his height that don't use it. Especially at this level and against much smaller guys
He is just too damn lazy to jump and typically doesn't play until someone does something on the floor to anger him. Based on that Pope should smack the hell out him before each game.

Pope finally gets his first NCAA tournament win. Monkey is off his back! Congratulations.

Let's just hope he doesn't trade it for a gorilla as far as the 2nd round. Need to go ahead and get straight to that sweet 16 so the narrative he can't get there never gets started.

well boys, UNC is gone, Kansas is gone, UL is gone, IU didn't even show up and now we get to enjoy the rest of the games tonight and at least up till our next game on Sunday! Survive and advance!
This! The earlier you lose the worse it is. UL lost the absolute worst way you can, blown out in the very first game. That makes the rest of the weekend suck.

We were clearly he better team. We just didn't play smart basketball. It simply made no sense to keep jacking up 3s when we had them down by 23. At that point, Troy needed lots of shots which we were giving them by taking and missing a lot of 3 point shots. It is all about understanding the situation.
