He has some difficult decisions to make. If he keeps letting lazy players sabotage games for us he will only get one contract at Kentucky. It’s up to him.

This game, for the first time, is 100% on his head. He played the wrong guys. He tolerated lazy trash play from them. It’s not okay. Amari should never play again. I’d tell him to find a new team.

Instead, we will get an Instagram video about how much Amari cares. Well, I don’t. Let him show it on the court. Dude hasn’t played a single possession of defense the entire season. He hasn’t passed the ball out of the post more than twice all season. I’m done.

Why aren't you out there coach? What adjustments would you make? How would you guarantee a win every single week?
I'm not but "not defending Cal" Cal lost everyone freaked out and wanted him gone now we got Pope "which I do like" no different outcome

Obviously too early, but it will be interesting to see if this is just a result of this hodgepodge team, or a systemic problem. This was a bad loss.

Here come the trolls that have been laying in wait.

We are down 2 of our top 6

The team was put together in 3 weeks and had expectations of a 6-9 seed. Making the tournament and winning 1 game was what ppl anticipated.

This will be the least talented team he has here. Year 2-4 was always the goal post.

This year has been an overachievement to this point.

Get Carr (and hopefully Kerr) back for March and hit the trail hard for next season to find the missing pieces and right fits.

Pope is struggling with having his team ready to play. We can’t have half the team be no shows every game. Today it was Bulter, Williams and Brea. Next game it will be Carr and Robinson. And when I say no show, I mean a player that does more harm that good. You don’t have to be a star but you should at least be solid.

I want Pope to succeed. I loved him as a player and I like watching this team play. I just do not understand playing Perry and Noah on the floor at the same time. This is the second game that we have been killed with these two kids playing at the same time. I agree Perry has gotten better, but they are just limited physically. The best thing that could happen for Coach is for both of these kids to transfer.

No over-reaction here......Come on people, remember what we truly expected in year 1. We are getting more than that. Will there be bumps along the way? for sure! But at least we have a Coach who wants to be here, and has shown he can recruit and play a great style. Will he win number 9 here? Who knows, but I will take my chances with him!
