I'm honestly excited to watch the game. Given the weather, I'm skipping Friday night HS football and going to settle in and watch it. There are a ton of question marks on this years team. Feel like it could go really well or not so great given how good/not good those question marks are. Exhibitions are what they are, but it will be good to see those players play against another team. I'm always excited for basketball, and if for nothing else this will keep my mind occupied waiting for 6:30 tomorrow night in Norman!
Kentucky Exhibition VS Little Rock Friday at 7 any thoughts?

Look, we get it, you hate Mark Pope, you can literally just respond with a 🖐️ every time you feel the need to post, we already know what you're going to say, it's a carbon copy every time.
You’re so lame, you created a name to further illustrate your hate.
Got zero respect for dudes like you. Pope has played the toughest schedules in our history, made the tournament both times and went to a sweet 16 through injuries.
Is he the right guy for UK, probably not, but you’re a complete a$$hat if you think he’s as awful as you say. You need to check out of fairytale land.
So, Mark Pope can beat duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Tennessee and Illinois, but he couldn't win whatever mid major conference St Louis plays in?
Are you mental?
And you're closer to Arnie the circus carnie than you realize.
Even the biggest Mark Pope critics look at you like you're a moron.
Nobody gives a crap what you want. How was is he a fraud? He his best if his best isn't good enough then yeah it's time to replace him. You Take personal attacks on him because you're very insecure.
Kentucky Hoosiers, more proof at this fan base is identical to Indiana celebrate meaningless games
I'll never understand people like that who choose to live on a message board and make themselves miserable, doomposting about a coach they hate. It's just sad and ultimately accomplishes nothing other than you wasting precious limited time you had on this Earth.
If we have a bad year Pope's (likely) gone and we move on to the next guy 6 months from now.
Why not just check out and find another hobby to keep yourself busy in the mean time?
(Hell, some of the posters on here already seem to have found it with the Football team.)
Nobody posts like you do and creates a screen name like yours that doesn't have hate.
So hoping your team wins and saying "this is a prove it or leave" year for Pope, makes us IU?
Do you actually think like this… .in public?
Then, he expects us to believe he doesn't watch UK basketball. Can't make this up. Dude is a first class clown.
You’re celebrating the Duke and Gonzaga December wins just like Indiana did against Kentucky. That’s all you got Pope is the absolute worst. He’s got you happy with losing 10 games every year finishing in the middle of the pack in the SEC and not even cracking the top 10 during the regular season. What is your uncle?
I stopped watching last year. After the zags game! I despise Mark Pope as a coach! I honestly believe rupp rafters can put together a coaching staff better than Mark pope. He can’t coach.
Here's the thing, this thread is about tonight's exhibition game against Arky Little Rock, at least it started that way. Like every other basketball thread started on this board in short order some needle Johnson IDIOT goes on a 20 reply tirade about the coach and how he sucks. What you should understand is alot of us that like to talk UK basketball are sick of it and SICK OF YOU. FO!!!!!!!!!
Yes, but our bench is not as good as other major programs. I watched every game last year, and I can tell you that Noah is not good. He's very slow, misses a lot of open shots, and can't guard. I thought Perry was better than Noah a couple years ago, and I still didn't think he was all that impressive either.
I know Morton is hurt, but wasn't he ranked in like the 300-400's? Like I said, he and Noah get praise because they're from here. If they were on any other blue blood roster, they're probably 8-9 in the rotation.
Not to mention one of our backup big men has a higher % of not making it through a season than he does of making through one.
And let's be honest, if any of the other point guards had committed that came here before Zoom, he wouldn't even have been a thought. But because he committed when the others didn't want to, we are acting like he was the only one we and every other team wanted.
I saw someone trying to compare the current bench to the 2012 team's bench. Yeah, it wasn't very deep, but I'd pick their starting 5 plus Miller and maybe Wiltjer 100/100 times over this one. The comparison is laughable.
Whether you admit it or not, if you compare how this team was constructed to buildinga house, everyone else was shopping at 84, Lowe's, and Home Depot for their wood, While Pope is the guy driving around neighborhoods with a trailer the night before trash day, hoping to find good pieces among everyone else's scraps.
I am always super pumped this time of year and the football team is making it even more exciting. Go Cats.
Here is the thing. This guy, he is here to troll. He is not, nor never has been a fan. He gets his enjoyment out of everyone he engages with or can get a reaction from.
Now there are those on this board who are fans and dislike Pope. There are plenty. But this guy is not one.
Any, you were stupid, but I didn't realize you were an idiot. No one believes that at all, and he most likely would've got drafted last year, but not where he wanted to.
They deserve fans who don't quit on team and coach
I believe it, I watched every minute he played, almost all of which were horrific in February and March. He was literally unplayable in the SEC and NCAA tournaments. If you don't believe me, go back and look at the game threads.
Well, you celebrate BCG's sweet 16 at aTm and Travis Ford winning a conference championship in a mid major conference and trying to argue they are better coaches for those reasons.
What did Ford to at Oklahoma State? Why is he not still there? Did he go to a sweet 16 while at OKST?
And you're damn right I'm celebrating wins over Gonzaga on the road, an NBA loaded duke team and the win over the eventual title winner, those were great wins, not good wins, great wins. It’s better than losing to UNCW in Rupp in December, now isn't it?
Your problem is, you're so miserable that nothing Pope does will ever be good enough. Grow the F*ck up.
