This team is as soft as melted butter

We are a good team that is talented with a good coach, but they are soft AF. We need a few more guys with tattoos. We need dudes that played ball...cutting their teeth playing at the playground or rec center on a 6th street somewhere in America. This group will let someone push them around. Thank goodness they can shoot.

Duh, check the box score in the OSU game before making such profound statements about shooting.

Ok they can’t shoot, can’t defend, can’t rebound, literal worst team ever. The first 11 games didn’t happen. The only games that matter are the ones where you lose. No context or nuance to anything, just internet sadness. Happy?

I am somewhat surprised at the lack of toughness. I think a lot of us thought with older players rather than freshmen that wouldn't be as much of a problem as in years past.

This team can’t shoot couldn’t hit a fat bull in the *** with a badminton racket it would help if they could get open for a shot need to try Carr in the middle maybe he can make a layup

I was featured on MBG a few years back when the football team was ranked going into the Georgia game. I said "we are going to rawdog Georgia."

We got our *** whipped 😆


That being said, OPs take isn't out in left field. We do need guys who have that dog in 'em. We've got a roster of great dudes, but like I said in another thread, we could use some Jamal Magloire's and Demarcus Cousins'

Looking back, this UK team only beat Duke and the Zags because somehow, both of those teams played even softer than UK… That will not happen in the SEC!

I went from believing that this team had FF potential, to believing they will have a sub .500 record in conference play.

Let’s just hope that doesn’t come to fruition, but if it does, honestly this season was always playing with House Money.

A team full of solid role players who can shoot. No creators , stars , or legit athletes other thsn "maybe" Chandler sn Garrison and neither play a ton. 2 good defenders in Butler n Oweh n rest ard terrible guarding. Noone can rebound othercthan our gaurds .

Amari decided to quiet quit. Garrison n Carr playing soft as charmin.

My experience has generally been that ink is just a nonverbal form of trash talk, largely by dudes who can’t back it up. Ink has never wiped the glass, fought through picks or shutdown their guy. But whatever. JJ Reddick has a sleeve, Ben Simmons has ink, and WCS should have been all-pro if ink remotely equated to toughness. Wes Unseld didn’t have ink, nor did Moses, Barkley, Nolan Ryan or Singletary. Willis Reed fought the entire Lakers bench without a drop of ink. More tats… 🤣

They’re soft, yet battled back against a potential national champion (Duke) and a potential Final 4 team (Gonzaga) when they had every reason to quit. Okay.

Love these fools putting themselves out on display here. Instead of thinking 40-0 at the beginning of every year, or jumping off the bridge after a 10-1 start but losing in a poorly played game, maybe these people just need to take a deep breath, get real, and understand the reality that Coach Pope has to when he stepped in up.

This team beat dUKe and the Zags. They're capable of beating anyone. Period. Obviously not playing like they did against OSU, of course.

Maybe it's because I'm an old fart and remember Pitinos first season here.

I'd say lighten up and give it a rest if you really feel that this team is so poor, why are these people paying any attention at all ?

I know I'm happy for the season we're having, and I'm positive we will all be thankful at the years end.

These guys and coach care too much to fold and shrivel.

So grow a backbone and cajones and keep the chin up.

One loss in December does not make a season.

Lol, what? I'm just saying we are soft. But enjoying the season and satisifed with where we are. Espcially considering this team was thrown together, im Just realistic.

I disagree, Oweh and Butler are plenty physical. Williams is at times. Garrison doesn’t get pushed around. Carr battles….Robinson and Brea could probably be a little more physical I guess?
Pretty much only Butler, Oweh, and Almonor.

Love Carr but he’s not physical lol.. Oweh’s built so he’s naturally physical and Butler’s ( stocky ) guard so he’s naturally physical as well.. That’s about it IMO
The team has heart, just doesn’t show it 100% of the time 👍
