***** OFFICIAL KU Vs UK Champions Classic Game Thread *****

[kywildcat1021979]

I'm getting so tired of UK having mediocre basketball teams.

No kidding it really is old...

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

You’re exactly right. No kind of picks being set or anything really just really bad jump shots.

 

[BigBluefoot]

Being totally outcoached.
Hawthorne taking jumpers instead of Momo or our other guards.
They get our bigs in foul trouble and then attack the rim......No zone.
This is going to get ugly.

 

[CUJO_1970]

We have the best 3-point shooter on the court but our offense doesn’t even try to get him shots.

 

[RunninRichie]

Momcilovic is Serbian for mothers hairpocket.

Dude sucks.

Mad overrated. All he can do well is shoot.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Zero screens set for Milan is enough, in and of itself, to justify firing Mark Pope. A complete and total DISASTER.

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

You can tell Kansas has experience playing Momcilovic.

Momcilovic is obviously skilled, but he's not a creator and he's not going to get open looks when we're playing a guard like Zoom who teams will show no respect to and sag off. It's a killer for offensive basketball.

 

[HolySmokes]

Is Pope going to be down double digits against a real opponent? Deja vu. Need to survive this first half.

 

[TTTblue24]

Milan playing scared to death, afraid to dribble and like a hot potato with him. Little surprised to see him so timid.

 

[RoyKent]

Tremendous gameplan to go 13 minutes without having the greatest three point shooter in basketball take a three pointer.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Bilas is insufferable anymore. A perfect mix of contrarian and *******.

Having Bilas call a UK game is like having Collingsworth call a KC Chiefs game where every UK opponent is Mahomes.

 

[katwest]

Moreno clearly wasn’t ready to play tonight, no focus, lazy and got exposed. Maybe he will learn to be ready to play next game.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

12 mins in and Pope has yet to get Mom a look at a 3.

 

[Major_Tom]

We look timid and nervous. Except Diallo. Wilkins, Milan, and Moreno (2nd half) need to step up.

 

[Bill_the_cat]

Bright side- only down 7 with no contribution from the starting front court.

 

[sheppard98]

Not sure what's worse, the officiating or Pope's pathetic offense. Why even have Mom on the team? Zero ability to get him open looks. No screens, just pathetic basketball.

 

[KentuckyFlyer]

Why did we take MOM if we aren't going to use him ??

 

[Catastic5]

We have players with butterfingers.

 

[UKSanders]

Saying this up front…Kansas is outplaying KY as far as energy.

However, there have also been some very questionable calls that have killed the Cats. No fouls being called on Kansas TKR while Moreno being nailed with touch fouls. How was it not over and back when Kansas dove for the ball, got control, slid over midcourt, and passed back for a dunk?

 

[RunninRichie]

This roster is an embarrassment.

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

Thanks Mitch Barnhart

Yep. Hiring a dude with zero NCAAT wins at that point at ******* KENTUCKY was insane. I feel bad for Pope but he’s in over his head

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

we run crap offense

 

[Anon17884554132671278]

Only chance for Milan to get the ball is off a rebound.

 

[The Ganner]

Where's the guy who was trying to say Kam can play guard?

 

[BBUK]

Wow...Calipari stall ball is better than this and I hated stall ball. Self really did run out if time back then. Cal had it lost but for AD and company.... If I knew basketball better I would type more but I do not... Ugly though Coach Pope... I hope you do not run out of time...

Come on Cats.......DO THIS!

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Lmao. It’s impressive that this team makes dribbling look difficult

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Kam Williams is like "Oh ****, this ain't Bellarmine."

 

[coalBucket]

Why don’t we run any set worth a dime? Sheesh

 

[four_every_hour]

Uhh Kansas’ starting PG is out with a broken foot.

You really don’t know the difference between 1 pg out vs 2 big men out?

 

[Anon1739778738]

Pope needs to go didn't recruit to his need this loser Needs. to go .This. team's basketball IQ is very low.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

The ball is like a bar of soap

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Stokes should have a field day with how weak our defense is. I don’t think we can stop him.

Kid can play

we most definitely need some kind of playmaker. A straight up Baller.

 

[UKCowboys]

Williams tackled, no call

 

[FunkyFatCan]

we look completely lost on offense, no motion, nothing

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

You really don’t know the difference between 1 pg out vs 2 big men out?

Are Pope suckers really this stupid?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

This Cough Man Ren dude is pretty good lol

 

[RunninRichie]

Ballgame

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Im ready to turn this off. Its already late and even if we somehow pull out a win, we still look nowhere close to being able to compete for anything.

 

[Catastic5]

Double digits (spoke too soon)

 

[WiseSerpent]

We are just plain awful.
