Fire him before it gets worse. Our fans are checked out

 

[Big BlueBeard]

This is Mark Pope at Kentucky, folks. This is it. It doesn’t get better.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

Been said before. This looks 100% like Mark Pope basketballl. Different players, different uniforms numbers, same team. Instead of expecting to win, we expect to lose and are surprised if we win. The AD better grow a pair quick.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Milan not getting one three is an atrocity.

Imbecilic of Pope to not get him looks. It is infuriating

 

[dckala2_]

Sorry frens, moreno ain’t it. Not even close. Dude should transfer to Charlotte or some ****.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Kansas don't even have their starting PG like wtf.....

 

[BigBluefoot]

All you Pope lovers look pretty stupid right now

FIFY

 

[HolySmokes]

I’m old enough to remember when Mark Pope was considered to be some sort of offensive genius. And here we are with the nations top 3 point shooter who can’t get a ******* shot off

Thats because hes a shooter. Not a basketball player. He does nothing. He wouldn't even grab the fkn rebound and let Kansas get it and score.

 

[PooPooPeePeePoo]

I’m really starting to get depressed on what we have become. At least under Cal we’d have years where we’d blow the breaks off top 15 teams.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

I would settle for Pope trying to actually earn his.

He gets half. M3 can earn their 15 mill then lol

 

[WeWant9]

Time to just get blazed and see where this goes.

 

[UKgrad22]

Braydon has been a bright spot in a very dim tunnel

 

[Catastic5]

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.

Everyone of our rival fans and coaches along with the card carrying members of the Kentucky Pope Fan Club are all happy that Pope is our coach.

 

[Colts240]

Pope is clueless in over his head

 

[HoneyMoon155]

Same problems as last year. Must be some locker room problems again, poor pope having to deal with these dramatic players

 

[Shaudylo]

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

It’s not his fault that he’s been useless so far.

And if Pope fumbled this Momcilovic **** good luck with future big names in the portal because we already know he won’t be getting the big high school recruits .

 

[fisherscatfan]

I wonder if Pope still thinks the elite freshmen aren’t worth the money?

 

[Ukwazoo3]

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

 

[UKCowboys]

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.

I have no doubt you are pulling for Kansas

 

[four_every_hour]

Thank God for Zoom. Otherwise we would be down 20. We need to figure out our defense and keep burning their guards on the drive. And can someone call Pope and tell him to have guards driving on Milan’s side of the floor to pull help and then dish back out? Like dude we learned that in middle school.

 

[MbergCat]

What sucks even worse is the realization that Louisville is gonna smack the **** out of us.

 

[rick64]

 

[Bluegrass79]

Better start Hawthorne in the second half and put him on Stokes or you're an idiot.

 

[Catastic5]

Any chance we keep Chief if Pope gets fired?

I don’t really care if we keep any of our recruits. None of them are going to be an instant impact next year anyway.

 

[Shaudylo]

Same problems as last year. Must be some locker room problems again, poor pope having to deal with these dramatic players

We have to stop blaming this so called “Locker room issue”

We have a coaching issue

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

This all goes back to Mitch Barnhart. Of course Pope wasn’t going to turn down his dream job.

Mitch Barnhart set us back a decade no joke

 

[entropy13]

My advice to everyone is to get blackout drunk starting...NOW!

 

[gbl97]

We would have taken him in a heartbeat.

TKR would have been a perfect fit on this team. Pope didn't try.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Our 5 I like vs their 5. If we have to go to the bench at all, I greatly favor KU

 

[UKSanders]

Announcers just said…Kansas has been the better team for the last 16 mins.

Hmmm…I wonder why?
16:37 Moreno 2nd foul
16:01 N’Diaye fouls 1 & 2
15:40 N’Diaye foul 3

I thought N’Diaye getting in foul trouble was huge because Stokes was driving around him or trying to shoot over his length early.

N’Diaye let his emotions get the best of him, and he can’t do that, but those 2 guys being in foul trouble is the difference in the game.

I would add I think Stokes would’ve struggled with N’Diaye’s because Hawthorne played him pretty well a couple of possessions as he bothered him with his length.

 

[RunninRichie]

Imagine how bad next year is gonna be. We’ll be running the offense for a 7’5 center who likes to shoot jumpers and float round the perimeter.

 

[SECualHealing]

We're going to get beat by teams with smaller nil payrolls then we're paying MOMO to do absolutely nothing

 

[RationalKentuckyFan]

Down double digits at half time. I'm looking foolish thinking Kentucky was even a top 20 team. All those that said we were going to lose and that Kentucky is now trash must be feeling pretty smart.

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

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

No movement, no cuts, setting no picks.

You’d have to have John Wall to make this offense work

 

[Wildcat4Ever]

Kentucky has no offensive plan at all,it's just whatever !

 

[HolySmokes]

Can we not run Milan off some screens or something ?? This is pathetic

Hes slow. Who's he going to lose on a screen? They can go around the screener two times and still contest his shot. Missing me off with the durk fade away. Your not dirk man. Go get a rebound for once if you dont want to shoot threes.

 

[UKCowboys]

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.

Fact

 

[Jmmcgr35]

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

You’re mad the KU 24 year old is dominating the UK 25 year old. Got it.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

This is all apart of this teams beautiful journey.
