I'm sorry..I just don't see the "Final 4 team" that everybody is saying Florida looks like. They've shot out of their minds today, they've gotten every call today, UK can't get calls unless it's an obvious foul, they were in the bonus like 5 minutes into the 2nd Half, etc...UK will likely beat them in Rupp Arena with even just a fair whistle.
Refs didn't win this game for Florida. We played poor D, didn't rebound and missed layups.

They’re not last year good but they’re good. They’ll have to have a great run to make a
Final 4.

Are you comparing Golden to Pope?
🤣

Yes Golden is 10X the coach of Pope. Mark pope has barely won tournament games, got blasted in his only sweet 16. Golden has won a national championship and on his way to potentially another final four. There is non comparison is either of them. Golden is elite, Mark is average.

golden got his first NCAA win last year (his 4th year)

1 week to mentally prepare and physically rest up for this game and we let Lee/Klavzar be the difference makers.

Almost word salad time!

He must be your dad for you not to acknowledge Pope spanked that a— last year and has a 500 record after today against him. Tell your dad to stay out of trouble this off season.

The officiating played a big part..the lead was cut to 43-41..and then the officiating went pro Florida. They were in the bonus like 5 and a half minutes into the 2nd Half.

I like that we are being physical with them in this second half. They’re gonna have some bruises tomorrow.

They've beaten the tar out of people and are getting better. We played very hard today and that didn't matter That's the sign you're playing a GOOD team.

We played hard. Just didn't matter.

We're not good enough to win against great teams.

Is what it is. Pope will have to get to the E8 or better to keep his job next year.
End of the day, he must make an elite 8 next season or he’s out. If he can’t make a final four I
In 4 years here, get him out. We’re in serious droughts. Can’t hang around middling in pope land.
