Zoom did his part tonight, kept us in it for awhile. I think we play better with Mason for sure, but Zoom if he plays like he did tonight is a positive.

I think zoom is fine but Mason is a better distributor and the ball just moves better with him playing the point.

They aren't "kids." Good grief. They're grown *** men playing professionally. Can we stop with the silly "kids" narrative?

Kids. You're a child. See the difference?

Once again them having money doesn't change their age. They are adults legally yea..
Anyone that has kids should understand.

Well, the game should be over. But the Pope fanatics need to calm down, at least until we beat Kansas or something.

Kansas is about to get a beatdown lol.

Playing better small ball. Moreno on the bench and we rebounding better.. not a good sign.

Look like a different team when he went to the bench. Oooof

McBride's wisdom saving Kam there.

Yeah, Kam has a mouth but that should be a T on JMU. Dude just shoved Kam no where near the ball.

Exactly.

This whole notion of "well they are being paid now, they aren't kids" is silly.

I do not want to get crucified, but Milan might be too much of a BIG TEN style of player for the SEC style of play. Hopefully, I am wrong and want to be wrong, but we saw that happen with CJ Fredrick.

Not worried about Mom but we have to start running action for him. We can let him just stand out there while we jack 30 footers off a single pass half the game. He can score from mid range too give him the ball, work him off the ball. Run a screen for him for crying out loud.

A lot of the problem. It isn't just UK. You have a mid-major playing against a team made up of mid-major players. I have not seen anyone mention this. All UK is is a team of good shooting mid major players.

We got mid major energy going on that's for sure.

I understand Pope is afraid of losing Zoom completely. But he needs to just hand the keys to Mason. Kids a leader.

Unless we vastly improve, I don’t see how we not lose at least 10 games.

Yes. We will probably lose 10 games this season. What of it? Some of you are too obsessed with that random number. Teams play more games now. You could play 42 games in a season now. Losing 10 would make you 32-10, or 76%. Out historical average is 75.7%. Get used to it. We will have more and more 10 loss seasons and that is just a year when we meet our historical average.

For now we are about to be 2-0. I’ll wait till we lose to be a little *****. I see you are now a “front of the line” sort of person.

I agree with that. Not a good sequence for Mason there. He got nothing going there and Mom gets to chuck a shot.

He was, as it used to be said by our last coach, his brother's keeper.

bbnkat02 · 2026-11-06T19:50:44-0600

Offsetting F1s. Of course. That would be 2 shots and the ball at ANY other blue blood arena.

Pope is a mid-major coach coaching for a blue blood.

Breathe on 15 and its a foul lol.

Dward13 · 2026-11-06T19:53:27-0600

well…as ugly as it was for most of the game, officiating is all that’s kept this from being a 20 point margin down the stretch.

I DEFiNITELY understand and agree, but his constant motion to run-cut-be screened is slow and gets slower as the game progresses and he fatigues playing defense on the other end. I'm not sure he can play the 30+ minutes that we all think we need him to. I WANT to be wrong, but that is what I see. He does not have Jamal Murray energy to stay in motion to get shots. He is far more of a spot-up player.

RunninRichie · 2026-11-06T19:53:35-0600

Hawthorne is gonna be good

Mom owes us a refund tonight. Least he's doing it tonight and not in March.

Yeah we ain’t covering tonight boys.
