Scheyer’s last three tournaments…

[Crestcat]

My post had nothing to do with Pope. It’s my perspective on if the UK fan base would be revolting after the last three year’s mentioned. This fan would not be. I do agree there would be those that would.

There is always a segment of the UK fan base that is revolting.

There is always a segment of the UK fan base that is revolting.

In more ways than 1!

2024: Up 8 points at halftime in the Elite Eight over an 11-seed NC State you dominated in the regular season, with a Final Four ahead of you. Team totally collapses.

2025: With Cooper Flagg, the best player maybe in college basketball history (at least according to the media) you are up 14 over Houston in the Final Four -still up 9 with two minutes to go -and lose.

2026: Up 19 in the Elite Eight, 14 with about nine minutes to go, and lose, despite having the best player in Boozer and being the #1 overall seed.

All that follows a blowout loss to Tennessee in the round of 32 his first year.

Does a coach survive that at Kentucky? Especially a coach replacing a program building legend? I think the fan base would be in total revolt.

We let cal survive 7 years with worse results

I often worry for some of you. Mentally

Pope could go 39-1, win every game by 35, lose the championship due to the whole team catching diarrhea at half time and people on this board would still be unhappy. Me included.

2 elite 8s and a final four? Yeah, that would suck but that coach survives anywhere.

so what Mark Pope has been in a sweet sixteen one in 11 years

This guy (and coach K) start every season on 2nd base, and scheyer just cant get it done.

Honestly hope Duke keeps him forever. Hes 100% their weak link. They have the best players, the most backend money for their program, the NCAA backing them, ESPN backing them, an arena thats been made almost impossible to win in.. simply put, Scheyer has been a disappointment.

You forgot the referees association backing him.
