How is that post still up and how is that bigot not banned?

Mods are as off as the Cats are tonight I guess.

This is a travesty to the tradition of Ky bb. It's not the losing it's the QUITTING !

 

[bbnkat02]

whoever you are, you're going to be famous in about an hour

I have a professional code of ethics to abide by sadly- but he's a fool to think he can be invisible online.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

11 minutes for 1 field goal and 6 turnovers. How is it possible to be play this poorly.

Hey we are shooting a blistering 16% from the field, and 15% from 3! This analytics team is killing it! Efficient as can be!

 

[HappyBlue]

I really don't think it's even mostly him- BUT it is his job to fix it.

You don't have the wins he did last year and not be a decent coach. Something is very wrong with this team. I just don't know what.

There is no fixing it. Pope missed badly on the portal. Hopefully he learns from this and does better next year. If he can't put together a good team and get to at least the Elite 8, then he has to go.

 

[Jimmy James]

This what diversity equity and inclusion a has brought to UK basketball. Hope pope and Mitch commit suicide

Everyone’s entitled to act stupid once in a while, but you really abuse the privilege.

 

[Bill_the_cat]

Ravich and Dykes on the call.

Recruits definitely aren’t coming here.

One game, one year is not going to turn off recruits.
They come for the cash.

Mods are as off as the Cats are tonight I guess.

Agree.

Giving me flashbacks of John Pelphrey coaching my hogs. It’s a horrible thing to go through. I know from experience.

 

[ala_kat2]

We've got to get Jelavich more shots.. Dude is a freak and we're not utilizing him currently or getting him enough run.. I thought we were supposed to be a team that got more shots and shot more 3's... Feed Jelavich and watch this team take off

He’s 0-5 !!!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

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

I wouldn’t blame him one bit at this point.

 

[ukalum1988]

If you think the boos are bad now, imagine losing against Indiana…

I live in Evansville. My mom’s from here. Relatives on my mom’s side, people I go to church with etc will give me a bunch of crap if we do. Beating IU matters to me.

 

[HappyBlue]

I detested cal and think he’s a used car salesman but he wasn’t worse than this

I detest you and I detest your mom for not buying a coat hanger when she was pregnant with you.

 

[20MRoster]

Boos are deserved & The Zags have a system to take advantage of teams with a slacker on defense. Time to focus only on defense and press the full 40 minutes.Exhibitions like this will literally Kill recruiting & make Pope’s seat scorching HOT.
Those of you defending RedShirting Hawthorne- Why ? Can he be any worse than 80% of this team.

I'm with you until the Hawthorne part. He'd just be another non-impact role player, nothing he's going to change.

Your point on the focus on defense is spot on -- this team has no high end basketball talent. It's clear as day and not sure why people keep trying to argue otherwise. When you don't have talent, you need to make up for it with relentless effort (defense, win 50/50 balls). That's the real kiss of death of this team -- they suck, AND they don't give the effort.

Ike scores his 1000th career point against Kentucky

 

[RunninRichie]

Next hire is critical. Miss that one. And you’re UCLA.

 

[TFCat11]

UK’s entire ‘26 class might all decommit after this one.

 

[BigBluefoot]

Show me an argument I'm in. There's literally not a single one. Try harder.....and muted.

Sit and spin, clown.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

Ike travels every time

 

[Drogon]

Ike picks his pivot foot up. Its ok. They're winning

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

No excuses for going 0-5 against the top 25.

 

[gbl97]

Garrison is competing.

 

[TortElvisII]

Aberdeen and Williams playing tells me all i need to know.

No analytical analysis says play those clowns.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

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

Who wants to play for this?

 

[BlueSince92]

I feel like that dude being attacked by seagulls.

 

[Anon1759768907]

pope experience has been "lets cut the lead to ten"

 

[RedwoodHigh]

This team can’t rebound

 

[kfwa]

No excuses for going 0-5 against the top 25.

 

[CUJO_1970]

Even Chandler bricking free throws.

This team is shattered and broken.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Wow I like Pope but this is pathetic.

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

How the hell was Kam on draft boards?

 

[HappyBlue]

Stop shooting freaking 3's. You are not good at it, STOP!!!!!

 

[BigBluefoot]

Ike picks his pivot foot up. Its ok. They're winning

Gonzaga has gotten away with walking in the paint for years.

 

[Kingslayer07]

I would hope Ike is good. Fkr has been in college for like a years...loser. get a job

 

[JSquad0070]

When the wondering is wise, the wise begin to wonder, wisely, where the wise wonders.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Who wants to play for this?

No one

 

[RedwoodHigh]

pope experience has been "lets cut the lead to ten"

10 at 10 minutes is the gold standard

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Pope is soon to be 1-8 against his last 9 games, against the top 25. The fact that he hasn’t got more heat is just because he is a nice guy.

 

[Anony Moose]

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

What tubby team was this bad?

 

[fisherscatfan]

I really was trying to be more positive and understanding for Pope but the fact he thought he had a Ferrari clearly tells me Pope cannot evaluate talent and assemble a team.
