“Touch $$$ on 3”

- Start date
Ok maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Dioubate's nickname is Money Mo / Mo Money and it looks like he's in the center of all the players in the video. Maybe it's that or something similar or maybe it's the other more blatant and odd thing everyone assumes it is
I rewatched the Vandy game. Oweh was just standing around a lot again. Mostly just tried to get his points on offense, no hustle, was a big reason for the beatdown due to overall play.
Don't want to lose the explanation on the previous page. Horrible look...but not too surprising.Apparently right before coming onto the court last night.
'Touch Money' video has BBN worried about this team's mentality
Before the disaster against Vanderbilt unfolded, the media and the Kentucky team were in the tunnel together. We know this team has a problem with lackadaisicalwildcatbluenation.com
He's always been but he could get away with it last year when he was big dawgin (subbed for a less tasteful word) people last year.
This video and that on court performance last night should be enough to end the Pope experiment. But it won't be. Barnfart will just that was kids mimicking their favorite rap song or something similar. That excuse will be used to prevent him having to go before the BoD's and admit he fvcked up in hiring an unproven former player.
Honestly, I don't know if it's possible for me to despise someone more than I despise Barnfart. College athletics must be run by a bunch of very low IQ morons if he is considered AD of the century. Sheesh!

Doesn't matter if Oweh is "a turd" or not, Pope built the team around him. There's nobody that can replace his productivity. I'm just stating the obvious.
OO is a complimentary player at best, but he's our best player and that's not my fault, I didn't build the roster.
We don't win the games we have won without him, it's that simple.
If we did things your way, Noah would be playing 30 minutes, Aberdeen would somehow have to play 80 and Oweh would get 10 and somehow, you think that's a better option.
Again, there are no other options. Your idea of giving his minutes to Noah and Aberdeen is just dumb. Don't blame me because I'm stating the obvious, Oweh has to play, there are no other options.
Except he is not our best player. Aberdeen is better. Chandler is likely better and certainly has more upside. Moreno, while still developing is way beyond Oweh skill wise. Mo D. Is likely better was well, just not at shooting.
Sorry, but Aberdeen and Chandler are not better, you're an idiot if you think so.
But let's say you're right, just for funsies, let's say you're right, the problem you're avoiding to talk about here is, Chandler and Aberdeen are already playing big minutes, so you can't give Oweh's minutes to either of them. Who are you giving OO's minutes to? I keep asking you that, but you won't answer.
Chandler can't guard anybody and if you watched any UK games, he's horrible with the ball in his hands.
You giving more minutes to Jasper? The guy is terrible.
Oh, yeah, that's right, you want to give OO's minutes to… ..checks notes…… Trent Noah, a walk-on caliber player. Yeah, let's have him guard Malik Thomas, that should work.
Moron.
Other teams are somehow handling it better than the guy Mitch hired. I agree though. It is what it is and we have an incompetent man doing the hiring. Hopefully football is much better. It's hard to mess up basketball at Kentucky, but he has done it twice.
Everybody saw it, yet Pope let him and Aberdeen play to get theirs. Nice guy or not, that is not a leader of men but a feckless coward too worried about feelings to do the right thing and actually teach lessons. If you are going to get your teeth kicked in, maybe don’t continue rewarding the guys that are causing it.
This team has a lot of problems but in the age of AI I'm not gonna waste my brain power believing this actually happened.
Let them all be as money-grubbing as possible, why tf would any of them say that, much less all of them? The motivations don't line up. They're not getting paid by the game (which maybe they should be if they're getting paid at all, right?).

That is absolutely nauseating. The culture that Pope has created/allowed is astonishingly horrific. I understand the reality of the game but to get guys who lack the judgement to know there is a time and place and this isn’t it is indicative of how bad a leader Pope is.
Except they are. You sucking off Oweh doesn’t change that.
Aberdeen played 31 and Chandler played 28. Each can play a few more.
I've answered. I can't make you read.
He's better than Oweh with far more effort, energy and less of a cancer. Wasn't it Chandler who won us a game recently thanks to a crucial late steal? Which I think he has had 2 or 3 of late in the game recently.
Jasper is a freshman who will play like a freshman at times. Again, he won't get better until he plays. He also likely has the highest upside long term of anyone we have.
Yes, I do want Noah to get some of those minutes. Not all as you like to suggest, but some. His energy, effort and desire far outmatch Oweh.
Everytime we have a player get hurt, I ask why it couldn't have been oweh.
That’s a good article. Gives a nice breakdown of why it’s a problem.Apparently right before coming onto the court last night.

This group of players just seems totally out of touch with the culture and mindset we’ve come to expect from UK teams. They’re not getting it at all.
Amen send this administration a damn message. This narcissistic group has taken this fan base for granted big time. This thing has become so woke it’s sick literally the fans are the only people who give a ****.
Crazy how Pope was going to change the culture back to Kentucky first but yet it's still all about money. Perhaps with NIL that isn't possible but it's bad optics.
lol, I don’t care what they chant to before a game. I don’t care if money is their motivation. I do care that they weren’t motivated.
This is the real team!!! Divine intervention not going to bail us out every game.
Everything is a bigger deal when a team is struggling .
Nobody with even 1 functional eyeball is going to agree with you. You're a moron.
Yeah, so on Saturday, Pope should sit Oweh and play MM, CC, JJ, Noah and DA? Is that your suggestion?
Yes!!!!!! Some of the game he should. And also MM, CC, MO D, Da and Jasper even more.
Depending on how Hawthorne looks in practice, maybe him as well.
We need performance-based NIL. I'm fine with a signing bonus, but after that, produce on the court or you can't "touch [as much] money."
Doubtful, but even if so, they will at least fight.
It's so funny you act like playing oweh 8 - 10 less minutes will actually have much of a negative impact when it's openly obvious to everyone he takes at least that much time off in games anyway doing absolutely nothing but standing around sulking. He barely does **** in the first half of most games. Play him less then and let somebody else utilize those .inutes
They’ll have to change the rules first. I’m pretty sure that right now it’s forbidden for NIL payments to be performance based.
I didn't see one single bit of fight out of anyone last night.
Oweh still put up 20 and he didn't even care. Look at the stats of the guys you want taking his minutes.
1) Noah was 1-5, 3 points, no rebounds, no assists in 19 minutes. That's a walk ons statline.
2) Jasper: 1-5, 5 points, 4 turnovers, 2 rb. That's a guy that should never play. Seriously, those 4 turnovers were awful and all resulted in points for Vandy.
3) Chandler: 1-6, 4 points, 0-3 3pt, 0 assts, 2 turnovers and you want to give this guy more minutes???
4) Aberdeen: 6-15, 15 points, 1 reb, 2 turnovers. 31 minutes What are you seeing here that screams "MORE MINUTES"?
You want those guys to take this
guy's minutes:Oweh: 7-19, 20 points, 5 rebs, 3 assists 2 turns in 31 minutes. He has more points, rebounds and assists than all other players and it's not close. He had 5 assists and he’s not the pg, Aberdeen only had 2 assists and he IS the pg.
You’re an idiot if you put Oweh on the bench and give his minutes to the 4 guys listed above him. All 9 guys stunk last night, it wasn't just Oweh, only difference is, Oweh had better stats across the board. Only an idiot benches his best player.
Someone needs to do an AI version of JQ making Mark Pope yell out “Show me the money” over and over like Tom Cruise. I might would pay a little for it.
Noah fans should just be quiet for a while. He got plenty opportunities last night. He's not there yet. I don't know if he ever will be.
Yea! Players aren't perfect and will have bad games.I didn't see one single bit of fight out of anyone last night.

Do you not understand that taking 19 shots to score 20 pts is atrocious, right? Particularly considering 4 of his pts came from FTs. So he actually scored 15 points on 20 FG attempts. Lulz.
Against Ole miss, 12 FG attempts to score 23 pts. At first glance, that isn't bad, but in closer review, he scored 10 pts on FTs. So he took 12 FG to net 13 pts. That's awful. And he had 1 board and 2 turnovers.
Against TX. 20 FGs to score 18 pts. He had 2 FTs, so really 20 Fgs to score 16. 3 board and 1 steal.
Against UT, 11 FG to score 12 points in 11 FG attempts. 5 FTs. So 11 FG for 7 points. 1 rebiund, 1 assist, 3 turnovers.
That's just the last 4 games.
He is a ball hog who shoots way too much and does little else when on the court. Poor attitude, poor effort, team cancer.
we all know oweh is an inefficient chucker
we also know there is no one else on the team doing anything.
that's what bothering me the most. It should have never got to this point
