Precciate that. I wan UK to win and be the gold standard. I have no loyalties to coaches or players. I bleed blue for UK sports.
We're The Laughing Stock of College Basketball

He’s a scoreboard watching savant. I love his look when he stares into space with his arms crossed. He has no idea what to do.
Said it before, even Coach K didn't win a single NCAAT game until his 4th season at Duke and look what he became. Dude was trash for 3 seasons.
Coach K, Hurley, Golden, none of these guys were given $20-something million to buy a roster. This is probably the most expensive roster in all of college basketball so far in this NIL era and we’re 18-11 and looking at a possible 10th place finish in the SEC. C’mon. For every Coach K there are dozens of Billy Gs.
Oh no! A Kansas fan site gigged us!! We are now defined by their comments! What will we do ……?
I've noticed countless road games we have played in half-empty arenas (A&M, SC, LSU). Whenever were rolling, every arena is full. It's like the schools that don't care about basketball don't see us as some supreme titan anymore.
Nope its Indiana and UCLA. Two “Blue Bloods” that haven't won titles since 1987 and 1995 respectively.
UK has 3 titles since IU or UCLA have won one.
Back away from the ledge OP.

I get the NIL debate, but those coaches had people from 2 to 4 years and they became a cohesive team. Within NIL, you can buy players, but you can't necessarily buy a team. I'm not justifying Pope. I'm just saying a lot of coaches go through growing pains when they first take over a program. However, the huge endgame lapses that we have at this time of the season should never happen
Agree you can't compare the different eras with NIL. Plus we canned BCG after 2 years. Yes he had other issues but if he was drinking, chasing skirts but winning at a high level he would of still been the coach. Him and Pope have almost identical records after 2 years.
I guess you haven’t seen the game threads. Pure insnity. Dont see how he even watches the games with that many biligerent posts. .
He's getting year three. The angry mob isn't getting what they want so they can cry about it and throw themselves on the ground all they want. Laughing stock? How arrogant. Every rival fan I know is jealous of us no matter what our record is. We've had more to enjoy than most of them could ever dream of. Sillyness.

Yep, Lowe really ain't that good. We need a guard willing to pass and play D. Lewis would have started over Lowe eventually in my opinion.
You sure as hell can fire that guy. Nothing in Pope’s background suggests that some big turnaround is right around the corner. It’s going to be more of the same.
Pope is exactly the coach that UK hired. Someone capable of a big victory or two, then suffer inexplicable losses. When you know you don’t have the guy you move on. And Pope isn’t the guy.
Let’s say Pope gets another crucial year. He know it’s make or break. What happens if he finished 5th in the SEC and then makes a sweet 16, then what do you do?
I agree
we have more talent than Texas atm and were up 10 and then the dumb substitution patterns started. That’s when it fell apart and Pope didn’t have an answer.
That’s coaching
That was something that worried me coming into the game. The Aggies arr an undersized bunch, but they play hard for McMillan, and they are tough and will get in your six and stuck to it like glue. They grab, hold and bang all night, but if the refs are letting them play, they are a tough matchup for a finesse team, which is sadly what we are
Yes, when you have a Ferrari at the street light and can't ever win a street race.....maybe it's the driver. Crazy concept
They don’t…they also don’t see bama as a so-called titan in football. Adapt or expire. UConn is possibly winning its 7th natty…everyone since the 90s. That is elite.
Again I don’t see that. I see people saying he will get a third year but most (myself included) are clearly stating they do not agree. You aren’t the first to make these revelations and certainly won’t be the last.
The same UCONN that lost to an 11-19 team today while their little bich of a coach pushed a ref at the end because it all has to go his way or he turns the entire checkerboard game over? hahaha
What a difficult time to be a Kentucky basketball fan…just sucks to keep losing at home…even worse when you know it’s coming.
Our coach unfortunately is in over his head. If he wasn't a former player would anyone be defending him? If this was in the real world would any business retain him as their ceo?
They embarrass anyone that knows them. Adults acting like little bich kids is hard to watch.
