***Gators at Kentucky Game Thread***

[TheResistance]

We had a chance but our players decided to sleep in sans Oweh

 

[ala_kat2]

Who is trying to guard Hough?

 

[Catsfan3382]

What we just witnessed was what has happened ALL season, and Pope is apparently incapable of seeing it. Fought back hard to get within 1 and he idiotically puts Jasper AND BG in the game at the same time. Within a quick 25-35 seconds - the entire game flipped. We had Florida completely on their heels…..the crowd was roaring…..Oweh was hitting everything. The only thing that could stop it? MARK POPE.
He’s completely over his head at UK. He’s embarrassing himself and the university of Kentucky with every single game he coaches

 

[TheBlueMist]

We may win a first round game in the NCAA tourney, but we're going home the first weekend.

This is not Kentucky basketball.

 

[Bugs092056]

FL not letting Chandler see a 3 attempt. They scouted us well.

He's literally only able to shoot threes, can't be that hard to phase him out

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Time to watch some golf.

 

[MarkPftw]

We'd be getting beat by 30+ right now if not for Oweh..I give him props. Everybody else just sucks.

 

[gbl97]

Oweh is playing the game of his life, and we don't even pass to him.

 

[bbnkat02]

Florida is unstoppable folks.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

chandler comes off a screen not ready to shoot......but somehow its oweh's fault.

 

[FatCatMan]

When you even lose Dickie V, you know you’re trash.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Just leave 3 point shooters wide open. Popes defense of hope they miss not working today.

They are badly coached

 

[JustBlue]

Now everyone take a deep breath...

And imagine this team without Oweh.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Oweh has 17. The rest of the roster has 13.

Is it possible, or even likely, we are going to be worse next season?

Anyone that confidently says we will be better next year are living a fantasy.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

someone should make a thread "Bump this thread when we are Indiana", it would do well I think

 

[kyjeff1]

And Moreno picks up ANOTHER FOUL, because his hands are down. How the F does Pope not see this? When you're hands are down, especially in the post, you end up putting 2 hands on the guy with the ball. That's a foul. So freaking stupid. Put your phucking hands up.

 

[Bugs092056]

Just say no to Pope's third year

 

[simnalecho]

The USA women’s team is playing in TNT if tired of this crap

 

[megablue]

Oweh has 17. The rest of the roster has 13.

Is it possible, or even likely, we are going to be worse next season?

It is not unthinkable

 

[UKGrad24]

We'd be getting beat by 30+ right now if not for Oweh..I give him props. Everybody else just sucks.

It’s a catch 22. With him leading a team it’s going nowhere. But without him? They’d be NIT 100%. It’s on the coach to find a roster that plays well, has a high IQ leader, and stops the me ball early. Mark doesn’t none of this and then his substitutions? Guys a joke. An absolute joke.

 

[FatCatMan]

Another turnover!

 

[Artlaibesghost]

Damn shame nobody but Oweh came to play

 

[JSquad0070]

Oweh has 17. The rest of the roster has 13.

We wasted Owehs last year here.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

I absolutely despise Mark Pope as a coach. He is very, very limited in his ability to game plan, execute and adjust in-game. Honestly, he can't be gone quick enough for me.

 

[rick64]

Time to watch some golf.

Is the weather delay over?

 

[HenryMuto]

damn

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

I don’t see how he could get going. They don’t feed him and he’s not in rhythm. That comes early, they don’t do it. Again. And again.

He's playing soft twice been in the lane at the rim and he won't go up to draw contact. Gotta find other ways to score if the 3 ball aint there

 

[MichaelGray]

I'll say it again, this is ******* embarrassing

 

[theBlues]

That timeout shows Golden's killer instinct. Pope wouldn't have called a timout in that situation.

 

[FatCatMan]

I absolutely despise Mark Pope as a coach. He is very, very limited in his ability to game plane, execute and adjust in-game. Honestly, he can't be gone quick enough for me.

I’ll despise him as a person if he comes back next year with no 2026 recruits to his name, knowing damned well next year is a bust, all for the name of the mighty dollar, the Kentucky basketball program be damned.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Pope is a complete failure. If he is back, it will be so much worse.

 

[CELTICAT]

Just awful. I hate it.

 

[Bugs092056]

All you Pope people, is this feeling like UK basketball yet?

 

[Noledynasty2490]

My God can Dickie V retire. I mean im sorry but he has no business on TV anymore. What the hell is he talking about half the time?

this used to be fun. Remember? We’d be starting to really have fun this time of year.

Now we get to pay 1M out of UK athletics to give Mitch as he rides off into the sunset flipping off BBN

 

[RunninRichie]

Pops knows it’s over

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

lol Garrison

 

[UKGrad24]

I legitimately wish we had BCG over Pope. I’m legitimately starting to hate Pope. He just stands around looking emotionless. It’s like he doesn’t even care. He’s Nero playing the fiddle while Rome burns.

BCG sober is 10 times the coach of mark pope. Pope is the worse coach in Kentucky history. He got a sweet 16 because of the NIL and Kentucky brand early. That’s it. It’s now his show, without the extra help from the brand. All those guys came in hearing the name Kentucky. That’s not gonna help now. Here is the real mark pope.

 

[Noxium3222]

This is sad and pathetic.

 

[Farsight Clone]

And some of you are still okay with this performance =\
