I'm also so thankful that the posters on this board do not represent most UK fans. All you hear on this board is that if we don't beat every opponent by 30 we suck a** and Pope needs to be run out of town. Absolutely juvenile posts....
Bullcrap. It’s not unreasonable to expect better than this given the money that was spent. This squad is bad bad right now

The only game they really got beat was MSU. They out played UL but lost because of turn overs. UNC is a good team and UK has played right with them. Yes, we could be better and we will be better by the end of the year. But three of our starters are injured.

Welcome to Bloomington south. I was ready for Cal to go but didn’t think Barnhart would screw up 2 out of 3 basketball hires.

Pope wanting to build a roster out of guys like him forgetting he had some damn good players around him. Pope is a great guy but is not the right guy.

You said this like we are winning and we are complaining .

0-3 in our 3 biggest test so far
And they don't hang banners for November or December wins. Get our starters back and figure out some better lineups and this team will be fine. The problem is that so many on this board think you have to beat everyone by 30 and go undefeated or your coach is trash and needs to be run out of town. Anyone who thinks that is realistic is the real "mental midget" and needs to grow up a little. If we Lowe and JQ do not come back, we may struggle all year. But if we get our starters back, we will be competitive in a _very_ strong SEC and will make the tournament.

UL is #6 in the country and we beat them in nearly every single category. we lost because they shot 31 FT and we turned the ball over 14 times. But we _out played_ them. And we played right. with UNC tonight.

None of our 3 are capable of turning this around like that. It will be more of the same when those guys return.
Maybe you are right. Hope you are wrong. But one player can make a huge difference. With three out at the moment. I have a lot of hope. Dynamics can shift wildly. I want this team to be great at full strength. Better than the alternative.

Down 3 potential starters. We will get there. Hate losing especially against UNC which my buddy is a big fan of. But we will go further than they will. We good.
pure fantasy, there's nowhere to "get". we aren't getting any significant OOC wins and even .500 in the SEC seems like a tall order. This team will likely finish with a losing record.

Troll or not, at what point do we criticize Pope and staff? How many games now where there is over a 2+ minute scoring drought? What about rebounding in general? The fact UK had this up until the last shot BG made is very troubling. UNC was not a great team and still loss at home. How does it get better during the start of conference when the players are even more beat down. Moreno and CC are going to be good but to be in a role for meaningful plays on a 22 million budget is crazy. Over paid on players.

Wake up! They ain't gonna play, either! Shaedon Sharpe and Jerrod Vanderbilt set the precedent. Not to mention the midget we got from Georgia.

Diabate sucks. I’d argue Moreno is better. Lowe was the leader of a terrible Pitt team. He’s mid. JQ is a beast, but we need help at guard, and more shooters. But go ahead please explain how these additions are going to solve the same problems.

Was he the guy last year when we set a UK record for beating top 15 teams? Nothing but fair weather fans. Beat everyone by 30 or you're not the guy. give me a break...
Make up your mind. First you say the end of the season matters, now you're pointing to the regular season.
