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

[OldScratchBlues]

This team may surpass my prediction of 10-14 losses. Ooooof

 

[TheDude73]

Pope is just not the right guy. Supposedly his best lineup and we look like ****.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Mark Pope = Mike Norvell

Pope is Zac Taylor without Joe Burrow.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Will this team win 20 games, I would bet not

 

[Noledynasty2490]

Popes offense without a point center like Amari just looks like a bunch of junk

Idk what happened to Pope from year 1 but his offense has became atrocious to watch. Year 1 was actually fun.

 

[UKSanders]

So, simultaneous fouls, and who wants to wager if the overrule call goes in favor of Kansas or KY?

almost guarantee they are going to call a moving screen on Kepnang instead of the foul that they were calling against Kansas on Alex Wilkins

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

We look like a monkey ******* a football out there

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

Will Stein with zero basketball knowledge would be a better coach than Pope at this point

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

Sure feels like Pope is not coach a year from today. Win or lose, I do not see the makings of a deep run with this group

 

[ChiefPaducah]

What world am I living in that I have more faith in our football team winning than our basketball team.

 

[Cbbcrazy2]

People complaining about Milan not getting any open looks. You shouldnt be surprised, no one gets open looks in the flow of the offense.

If we got Milan to stand in the corner all night, he is doing that well.

 

[Catastic5]

Do we have any fans there? That would have been a great time for them to make some noise and it was crickets

I think most of our traveling fans have checked out at this juncture.

 

[Anon1739778738]

We are not talented enough to play a team like this it is embarrassing.Pope has to go he is a bonified coaching loser and recruiter.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Last week we'll be ranked this season.

 

[coalBucket]

Man I’d love to wake up to Pope resigning.

 

[JwUKFan11]

We have had the same roster 3 years straight. Same types of players and no talent.

 

[WiseSerpent]

i have to conclude at this point that Stokes made a good decision.

 

[bbnkat02]

That's a weird way to spell Mark Pope

Both things are true. Refs have been ***.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Why is MM just standing around and pope not running anything to get him looks? Wild

 

[mash_24]

Zoom has been really good in this game. We’re getting zip from Milan. Cut it to 6 at the half and hope for the best.

 

[HolySmokes]

Yea even tho I cant stand Stokes...I said I can't ignore his talent. Said he would have 25. Hes on pace for more.

But he shot bad his first two games of college so he's no good. Got it. Pope get some athletes in here ASAP.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

seth can tell us at halftime why we should be happy with Pope and this performance

 

[coalBucket]

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Give him NBA money and Pope still couldn't build a quality team

He needs to step down if he truly cares about the program. When has hiring a pass player worked out for a program? Works out a lot less than it seems to do the opposite.

 

[HenryMuto]

Looks like Stokes is another big fish that got away from Pope

 

[RunninRichie]

We have had the same roster 3 years straight. Same types of players and no talent.

What happens when you hire a midmajor coach.

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

This is painful to watch. Forcing shots for two coaches now. Same thing, different version.

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

biggest myth is that uk fans travel. that died like 5-6 years ago. go to these types of events and uk has the 3rd largest fanbase at best

Make sense since we’ve been *** in that time.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Funniest part of this entire thread so far is watching our fans asking the same questions we have for last couple of years. It’s a head coach problem. This should not surprise anyone. It’s very predictable.

 

[Rise]

Kansas is lucky mountain mamba is hurt......

 

[KyCPA2000]

Not the players fault. We are less talented than the top 25 teams. Probably the last year of that one way or the other.

 

[Jamal Mercerr]

Same crap every year. Last few years with Cal and now with Pope. Nobody can get open and other teams get open looks regularly.

Milan will be wasted in this offense.

 

[Cats4321]

Is it just me or does Stokes look really great?

He does now. I thought he looked terrible initially but he definitely woke up..

 

[Catastic5]

Honestly, how does this Kansas team stack up against teams we play in the future like Indiana or UNC?

 

[Kameron50]

Sure feels like Pope is not coach a year from today. Win or lose, I do not see the makings of a deep run with this group

Surely this is his last year here any longer and serious damage will be done to this program.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Next question is does he reach the career winning % of 63 this year with this years team?

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

Add we can’t rebound to the list of complaints.

 

[HolySmokes]

Let's pay Mom 6 million to shoot threes but when prime time arrives dont let him shoot. Got it. Oh wait hes a statue and basically useless like I've been saying.

 

[Cliffhanger82]

Just a pitiful team with a pitiful coach- smh - beyond disappointed and have been since calipari “generational wealth “ direction. Need to see an AD with a set and get this turned around. Dont think it will happen though
