Am i the only one wondering why

[runningbears_rivals310920]

We don't at least try a zone??

It's not like our Defense could be doing worse??

There’s a reason Pope is 52 years old and hasn’t won a tournament game as a coach

They have hit 10 or 11 threes, that’s why.

it's pretty inexcusable to not have a 1-3-1 in your back pocket.

Now that sound like a familiar argument from the last few seasons!

12

We just can’t stop them from scoring, never thought that was going to happen. Most games this year Arkansas can’t hit threes if the other teams walk off the floor.

 

[runningbears_rivals310920]

The driving is hurting us more... the layups and openings it causes is an issue... Im just saying, it can't be worse

 

[ScottGreene22]

Would have started the game in zone or at least switched D’s up. Playing man to man against a team with better athletes at every position is suicide.

Is it close to the same reason can’t coach cal hasn’t won one in years?

Yep .. if nothing else , to break a rhythm

 

[dnorman0301]

A terribly embarrassing loss.

 

[Woodrow24]

Pope not running any zone against Arkansas is inexcusable. Anyone that knows a calipari coached team struggles against it and our guys are struggling with their athleticism. SMH

Yes, but almost every one of them has been off dribble penetration. If we could keep them out of the paint they wouldn’t be shooting as well.

Pope's done a really good job this year and has assembled a good roster on short notice, but this game by him has been a clunker. Yes AU has hit a bunch of 3s, but we haven't done much to give them different looks. His ability to teach defense has to improve. I'm glad we have him though

 

[Seth_C]

It’s like Pope wants to lose. Honestly, there was never a game with a more obvious game plan. We are short on players. It’s the most obvious decision to make in the history of basketball.

It’s as if Pope wants to lose the fan base. It’s truly insane, bizarre. Enough to make you think Pope threw the game.

 

[katwest]

We have quit!

 

[Catlogic15]

Pope will be ok, but never elite.
Not what our history deserves.

Cal certainly made him look like a rookie tonight.

 

[dnorman0301]

I always watch Pope presser after game and also opposing coach … not tonight.
