Refs must be held accountable. We barely touch them foul, then no call after no call on the other end. 3 uncalled fouls on Florida already this half. It’s ridiculous.

Florida is already better, they don’t need the refs bias as well.

I think Mo D just needs to be the glue guy. He should be a poor man's Dennis Rodman. He needs to live within 10-15 feet to under the basket. His role should get offensive rebounds, pass out or put backs. Then defensive rebounds. That should be his role. Which he kind of does, but he needs to lock in. Pope needs to not play him on the wing.
Yea I agree with that. But his IQ is really low, he struggled to know where to be and forgets assignments. He gets lost under the goal. MO is an okay player but he needs to be a bench guy to give breathers to the starter. We just don’t have one.

This is a team full of mid programs and bench players. It is what it is.

If Moreno would just look at the basket when he gets it, it would help the offense. His man could walk off the court and he would never know it because the threat to score is not there which allows his man to drop back and clog the middle.

Pope needs to tell Oweh, "I want to see you get 6 assists in this second half."

Not sure? Dude this is the lowest IQ team I’ve ever seen at UK. It’s incredible how low their collective IQ is. I like MO, but that guy is not the sharpest knife. It’s collectively the lowest IQ Kentucky team I’ve ever seen. So yes. I would call it that.
I could have worded that differently. I was just referring specifically how this team is so bad at getting loose ball in general.

Overall bball IQ is horrible.

Sadly, Pope could switch rosters with Florida and he would not have them anywhere as good. Pope’s bigs are soft on effort and just are fundamentally bad.

Moreno plays below the rim, hands down, one handed rebound attempts, never stops a drive and gives minimal effort to go get a rebound not right to him. Garrison‘s physicality is wanting to actually fight aggressiveness. Mo is the only one with any resemblance of a “big” with any physicality.

How many drives does Pope have to watch where guys don’t help to stop it, ball watch and despite not effectively helping lose their guy for wide open 3s?

Pope will never be elite. UK with Pope is going to be fighting for double byes in the SEC and a Sweet Sixteen ceiling type team year in and year out.

3 games against Bama last year and no change. Ditto for Florida this year.
I don’t understand how it’s not understood more. Pope is a REALLY BAD coach. He’s not mid he’s low-mid in between. It’s astounding how that guy is at Kentucky. It’ll be the biggest wtf were we thinking in history.

Oweh 18 footers, dumb foul on the other end. The dude is killing us, but none of our other scorers can do **** either. This one is about to get away
I really think a lot what has looked like poor shot selection this year is just guys feeling like OK, we're probably not getting something better than this out of our offense.

Regardless of that's due to the offense itself or the personnel running it.
