[Cats4321]

Only down 10, but we honestly looked over matched. Hopefully things change in the 2nd half.

 

[katwest]

If they didn’t have the Purdue reject

 

[entropy13]

Kepnang is just a big body. He’s not a bb player.

Hands of literal stone. Not figurative, literal.

 

[ala_kat2]

One team has a center, one has 4 inadequate centers tonight. Did Kepnang get even one rebound?

 

[blackcat714]

Big frank is pitful

 

[Kingslayer07]

TKR get a fkn job you bum.

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

Love seeing a 24 year old terrorize us. Makes a lot of sense to see that on a college roster

 

[MonsterMash79]

Tired of watching this goofy bastard walk up and down the bench..

 

[Colts240]

Mark pope sucks offense just stands there no movement fire his *** already

 

[TX Wildcat]

Bilas has to excuse himself to change his underwear while eating ice cream at half.

 

[rick64]

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Let's hope Kansas just destroys us in the second half. We don't need some scrappy 10-12 point loss. We need off this ride ASAP and unfortunately that is best served by us being embarrassingly bad.

 

[KyCPA2000]

Good gods, we are so poorly coached and have such poor floor awareness.

Need better players.

 

[rabbitTown]

Cannot stand that guy was given a 6th year.

We would have taken him in a heartbeat.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Has Momcilovic had zero shots from 3?

 

[legalbeagle123]

Ticket prices for the remainder of the season plummeting. Pope should work on oil prices next.

 

[HolySmokes]

Frank needs to start over Moreno. Mom needs to come off the bench. Mom is useless.

 

[RunninRichie]

Remember, Pope tells his team to tip rebounds.

 

[kyjeff1]

We might be the worst rebounding team in the country and our rim protection could possibly rank last too.
We have weapons, but we don't know how to use them.
We are not good right now.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

The M&M boys might try to earn their almost 10 mill in the second half…

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

Good news with our fans not traveling, no boo birds.

Zoom has played really well. Everyone else, meh. Hopefully getting Malachi back will help. Not as bad as I thought it might be when he picked up his second foul.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Mark Fox defensive guru.
Mark Pope offensive guru.

The ultimate gaslighting.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

Any chance we keep Chief if Pope gets fired?

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

if he wasn't already a terrible recruiter, any coach could show the tape of us getting Milan 0 shots and take any recruit from us he wanted

 

[Jamal Mercerr]

Tough to watch. One team has a HOF coach, and ours does not.

Love how Kansas pushes the ball up the court. They get open looks, and we don’t.

Our bigs are just weak.

too many liabilities on defense as well.

 

[SECualHealing]

Love seeing a 24 year old terrorize us. Makes a lot of sense to see that on a college roster

Their 18-24 year olds are all terrorizing us

 

[crxohio]

Cant expect anything else. A proven losing coach cannot teach winning. Its up to the players in the second half. Cause pope is cooked

 

[MaysviileKY]

Best shooter in the country and we have no offense to run for him. Sad

The only way is to run and have him run to a spot.

 

[MichaelGray]

Well at least we have the 2nd half to look forward to lol.

 

[HolySmokes]

frank is so useless

Frank does more than Moreno. At least hes a presence and plays hard like hes aware of the moment. Moreno just skips around all cool calm and collected all the damn time.

 

[RunninRichie]

Mark Fox defensive guru.
Mark Pope offensive guru.

The ultimate gaslighting.

And some on this board bought it.

 

[fisherscatfan]

The M&M boys might try to earn their almost 10 mill in the second half…

I would settle for Pope trying to actually earn his.

 

[NoDef]

When the opposing coach that has jabbed you for years, tells the halftime a reporter an excuse for the current coach, then you know he is happy with the hire.

 

[Catastic5]

Let's hope Kansas just destroys us in the second half. We don't need some scrappy 10-12 point loss. We need off this ride ASAP and unfortunately that is best served by us being embarrassingly bad.

What does it matter? Games are probably gonna be half empty at Rupp. At the very least they’ll be dead quiet. Until Pope is gone, we’re pretty much checked out as a basketball program.

 

[cat tat2]

Milan can’t move his feet, looks really slow.

 

[mash_24]

We can’t get Mark Mitchell eligible weeks before the season, but Trey Kaufmann-Renn can blow into Lawrence and get eligible overnight. We need better lawyers.

 

[four_every_hour]

Fire mark fox into the sun dude. He is the problem. He is why our defense is terrible. He is the issue.

 

[UKCowboys]

Franck is the anti-Tshiebwe

He has been terrible tonight

 

[Jmmcgr35]

Council is actually pretty average and I’m
Not sure Stokes isn’t truly their PG regardless of who they have. And Kinney is a better prospect.

Not remotely close to being the case. Council may not be the most talented player on the roster, but he is a damn good college pg and the heart of that team.

 

[katwest]

Well, this is embarrassing, if we get an invite to come back we should turn it down. You can’t lose every da— game you play in this tournament.
