What a dud coming out of half.

Out coached and out played. Sad!

Pope should be embarrassed. We just do not run a good offense and use stupid geometry on rebounds.

 

[katwest]

Kansas shooting better than they have any game so far, no defense or not, you can’t hit everything you shoot.

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

What’s the ADs email? I need to fire off some fire mark pope drafts real quick

[UKWildcats1987]

This is hard to say, but I may be done. This **** isn't worth getting invested in anymore.

I played a video game the whole first half. Way more enjoyable. I kept up some on mu phone. Watching 2nd half and what a crap performance.

Pope gets blown out so much against legit teams. I hope MJ has the stat on post game. Its absurd.

 

[Kingslayer07]

I'm done watching your lanky white *** Mark Pope. Hopefully this is your last game at UK. Loser.

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

He is our worst coach we have ever had. And yes i am including bcg! Cause his teams atleast tried hard. Pope teams dont try after the first media timeout!

Imagine how f'n horrid it would be if we literally couldn't pay these dudes to come play for this guy.

I cant believe some fans actually got upset that Cal fired back at some of his critics, helping start a 5-year divorce, and leading to this hot garbage.

I truly believe if we just duct-taped the mouths of some of the more ungrateful and idiotic fans, Cal might still be here and actually trying.

But nope. They thought freshman Tyler Ulis should have played over the twins who hadnt lost a game in 4 months, and they had to let Cal hear it. 3 final 4s and a title in four years just wasnt good enough for ol' kyjeffery

that's where your wrong. Cal is washed, He was washed here.

I'd still let Cal hear it for what he did to this program. The only thing he was trying was getting kids in the NBA.

 

[ComebackCats98]

Who do we hire next year? I wanted dusty May but that’s over. I don’t want Donovan or Pearl. Or oats. Maybe golden? Lucas?

You don’t want Donovan, Pearl or Oats? You’d rather continue with this? Why

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

3-14 from three......and this was supposed to be a good three point shooting team. this year is going to be absolutely brutal

 

[kywildcat1021979]

This isn’t Kentucky basketball. It’s exactly what we thought it’d be. Time to clean house

He shouldn't have never been given a year 3.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Cal sucked and needed to go... but... Mark Pope is not the answer

It may not be a popular opinion, but he needed to go because he was done with hearing neverending criticisms from some fans starting as early as 2015.. and it just ate at him.

Maybe this is just a 10-year job.

 

[Blue Jesus]

McBride's shot is so flat, it never comes off looking good. Even last game when he hit a couple.

 

[SECualHealing]

Imagine 10 years ago someone telling you UK was in the hunt for a national title...but it's the football team and not the basketball team. You'd have thought they were high!

 

[Catastic5]

Any half-decent team will make sure Momo os well guarded. Take him out and you can blow out Kentucky no problem.

 

[Cats4321]

I was kidding earlier when I said we were playing the Washington Generals role. They are literally toying with us. Just dribbling circles around us.

Why the hell do you think we want Cal here? He's terrible. Yeah, he’s better than Pope, but that's like saying my sh*t sandwich is a little better than your sh*t sandwich.

Cal is not the answer, he stopped being the answer a long time ago.

Cal was an absolute clown his last 4 years here and he’s washed up

Im amazed you admitted hes better lol.

I hope youre enjoying this.

 

[CaptainDad]

YIKES!! I dont think he understood the assignment, defintely not a deft enough coach or leader to alchemize and instill that into a team. Just dissapointing. Popes a good man but he does not have the aggression or internal fortitude to put the right people around himself to watch his back and put mirrors up in his blindspots. Nowhere near rowdy enough to lead and instill any fire into his players. It sucks, I wont root for him to fail but this is not the spirit of KY Wildcat basketball anybody that says different should tell themselves this in the mirror. I know and yall know it too this aint pattycakes you paid 6mil for a 3pt sniper that can even get a damn look at the basket.

 

[YankeeCpt_rivals378522]

What a waste of money!!!
Pope cant figure out how to get the number 1 three point shooter a shot...
and the multi-multi millionaire college millionaire 3 point shooter has shot 1 low percentage shot..
why not just pay the refs? they could be had cheeper....

Your hero fails again, shocker.

 

[Catastic5]

Ask Oats and then go after Shertz if he says no.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Imagine how f'n horrid it would be if we literally couldn't pay these dudes to come play for this guy.

We would have Moreno, Noah, perry and 2 other random ky born players starting.

 

[HoneyMoon155]

This is hard to say, but I may be done. This **** isn't worth getting invested in anymore.

At least we have football

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Yeah this is beyond unacceptable. Not competitive, Not fun, No Bueno

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

I would've gone to bed but I am enjoying watching the sad realization of reality coming over a lot of you.

It is a 10 year job.

 

[four_every_hour]

You don’t want Donovan, Pearl or Oats? You’d rather continue with this? Why

Donovan was elite 20 years ago dude. Give it up. Pearl can course correct but he’s not a long time hire. And oats? Besides one final four what does he offer? There are better coaches out there.

 

[Shaudylo]

Worst part about this is you can’t blame this performance on youth

 

[RunninRichie]

Moreno is awful

 

[UKCowboys]

100%. Call isn't. Pope isn't. Drew isn't. Hopefully, the new A.D. puts together a real list of candidates next time and sticks to it

 

[Anon1759809186]

Don’t forget Council Jr. Is out also

this would be worse

[Big BlueBeard]

TEMU Kentucky.

 

[JimboBBN]

Every fan out there should be on the fire Pope train. What else needs to be seen?

 

[TX Wildcat]

Pope is taking us on a UGLY JOURNEY!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It is a 10 year job.

Well maybe thats the problem? Some of our fans never seem to ask "hey, why is it that this job chews up coaches?"

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Maybe this is just a 10-year job.

no he needed to go because he won 1 tourney game in 4 years, there's no need for revisionist softening of the mess Cal made just because Pope is worse.

 

[UKCowboys]

Your hero fails again, shocker.

You are a joke

 

[Jmmcgr35]

down 22 to an average ku team......

You want them to be an average team, but you know they aren’t.
