Kentucky vs Gonzaga Game Thread.

[Anon1762911361]

I want Pope gone and how anyone can defend him is beyond me.

Pope has to stop being so damn nice.

 

[howitis_rivals115807]

Garrison mvp tonight

 

[kfwa]

Oweh has literally quit

the guy should be touching the ball on offense every other possession.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Wasn't he on the draft boards?

When he could shoot 40% from 3

 

[Rainmaker]

this could be the least talented team I have seen at UK since maybe Tubby. Tell me I’ll wrong?

You must’ve forgot BCG teams.

 

[Lovebaskelball]

Out on this season. How does a D1 team and a roster allegedly paid 22 million dollars have 5 points in 12 minutes of game time. Please fire this staff tonight. I beg you Mitch Barnfart you total jackass. Fire him too.

The amount was $22 and that is still too much.

 

[RunninRichie]

You must’ve forgot BCG teams.

They’d take this team to the wire.

 

[cat tat2]

I swear this bunch is getting worse every game.

 

[fisherscatfan]

I just don’t understand how the staff put this poor of a team together.

 

[mash_24]

I don’t wanna see Williams back out there again tonight. Clueless basketball player. Analytics have completely paralyzed our coaches mind and the players just playing the simple game of basketball. I’ve defended Pope to a fault. He’s not the guy.

 

[HappyBlue]

On the bright side we should be good enough to get a #1 seed in the CBI tourney.

 

[FilsonCat]

As badly as we have played, the whistle we routinely get in big games has been about as bad as I can recall. The refs are stealing points and possessions from a team that is more than willing to give them up on their own.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Pope needs to get a T. These officials are ridiculous.

He would rather take it and not T himself

 

[gbl97]

BJ Boston ain't walking through that door, fans...

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

And they're selfish AF.

We have a squad of shoot-first guys like JJ, Garrison, Oweh, Lowe, and Mo D. The roster construction is shite in a bottle, shaken to perfection.

Jelavic too. I’ve seen him waive guys off from a corner switch several times now because he wants to take a 3. But when he’s in the wing, he never makes the extra pass to the corner. Great in the post but needs to stay away from the perimeter.

 

[TFCat11]

Crazy thing… Gonzaga isn’t that good

 

[Farsight Clone]

Johnson can’t defend in this game. Won’t even try to rebound either.

He's not the only one. No one is trying for offensive rebounds.

 

[RunninRichie]

$22 roster

 

[gbl97]

Can you imagine if Zags made those 5 layups

 

[MidseasonTweak]

This year's team makes Cal's worst-shooting teams look like Pitino's Bombinos.

When JQ comes back our best bet may be to go twin towers with him and Moreno and try to keep games in the 50s.

Unfortunately it would steer any recruit with a pulse away from the program

 

[Haggin_Hall_1983]

Aberdeen ball hog again. A recipe for success

Nobody else seems to want the ball....then he launches or dribble drives late in the shot clock.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

At this point, I'm fine with Garrison taking more 3's than anybody. Can't hurt.

 

[kyjeff1]

The only way you can be this bad, is if they were literally trying to play bad.

 

[Anon1752233116]

Bad year to have iu on schedule.

 

[cat tat2]

Pitino would leave St John’s to come back to Lexington, you know.

Somebody call him at halftime!

 

[FilsonCat]

this could be the least talented team I have seen at UK since maybe Tubby. Tell me I’ll wrong?

I don't know if it is purely talent, but there's no leadership. Everyone is waiting for something to happen and nobody is locked in.

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Johnson can’t defend in this game. Won’t even try to rebound either.

This game? Have you seen him this year?

 

[blackcat714]

Glad Pope trying that full court press

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Wait until we get Lowe back.

Lololol

 

[Uncle B.S.]

I know we can’t get our money back but can you DFA in college basketball?

 

[philstat]

11 three attempts already, just comical at this point…

 

[HappyBlue]

Bad year to have iu on schedule.

Bad year to have any team on the schedule.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

He's not the only one. No one is trying for offensive rebounds.

I’m talking about defensive rebounds. He runs away from trying to so can get out in transition to get a shot up.

 

[Catsfanjim]

The players have already been paid so they don’t care.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Lance Dawe from the Locked on UK podcast is going to be hilarious ripping into this **** team tonight.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

"We will not fail." - Coach Pope

"Yes, yes you will." - Reality.

 

[RunninRichie]

How much would Pitino cost? And how many St. john’s players would he bring?

 

[Rainmaker]

Will JQ really want to play in this mess? I honestly wouldn't if I was him.

He plays for ASU last year and they were 13-20

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

In what way are they better than the 9-16 team?

That team lost every game by like 3-5 points it felt like. This team is so much worse.

 

[ala_kat2]

the guy should be touching the ball on offense every other possession.

Why, so he can turn it over?
