Down 6 on the free throw line, miss it, give up a three and then refs blow a foul call against bama that leads to 3 point play, ball game. All because of a missed free throw.

Maybe we should fire Pope so you wussies can feal better. We are lucky to be where we are right now
Nobody said anything about firing Pope. UK has been losing a lot over these last few years, and it can be exhausting. It's mostly Cal's fault here. But it's sad fans of arguably the greatest college basketball program have to be "lucky" to be in this spot.

That missed foul on Amari, a clear push in the back basically put us out of our misery.
Yeah and they get a freaking and one because Youngblood drives into Brea who is standing straight up with his hands and arms straight up!! 5 point swing

Scores a MILLION points in HS, but can't make WIDE OPEN looks today.

When we REALLY needed the young guys to steep up, they played like ACTUAL Freshmen today in a tough environment.
I hope he gets straightened out, but it’s not just today. He’s hasn’t shot well at all this year.

We play well and play hard for a while then make 3-4 careless turnovers in a 3 minute stretch. Guess that is because we don’t have Butler available. Williams and Brea and Oweh tonight have all dribbled way too much because we can’t penetrate with a point guard.

Seems like he ends up with the ball in his hands at the end of the shot clock ... he has had to to take several shots he didnt want .. not his fault really

Yeah, I don't know where he got the whole fire Pope thing. That's just stupid. But it's fair to say that losing gets tiring, regardless of the circumstances. There's nothing wrong with that, and it sure as hell doesn't mean people want Pope fired.

This is an odd game. We have more offensive rebounds than Bama and have forced more turnovers but we are losing substantially. If you told me that would be the case before the game, I would have expected us to be winning.

Bama has been far superior from 2 and from the line. That’s the game so far.

LOL, refs trying to even up calls by calling fouls that don't impact the play. Garrison gets the ball and they blow the whistle. Bad ft shooter.

Meanwhile, Alabama gets a foul call on every drive on touch fouls.
