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

[MarkPftw]

Check that..we do have Diallo..thank God, otherwise, we'd be losing by 40.

 

[megablue]

Our lack of team quickness and athleticism is glaring tonight ...

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Pope f@cking blows, I hope the 10 people on here who still support him come to this realization soon. It’s easy to see all these flaws even in our easier games.

 

[Colts240]

This program is dead worst team we have had

 

[UKortho]

That's you

Sybil. That’s you. Smart enough to get the reference? Doubt it douche.

 

[dckala2_]

No real Kentucky fan has any concern with what Kansas is right now. Program wise or game wise.

this is purely internal.

one day, soon, bill self will no longer coach at Kansas. Just like ferentz at Iowa (got Iowa in the family) and all I can say to them is good luck. Cuz this **** is much different than even 3 years ago.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

I mean, hes already doing better at Arkansas with a lot less to work with. So what was the problem?

Obviously he had to go, it was a fractured relationship. I just dont think it ever had to go down that path. And then he just gave up, almost was doing things out of spite.

he's not doing better, he just got blown out a few days ago. he got a fluke SECT win after other top teams got knocked out, so what?

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Milan was a combined 7-18 from 3 against KU in two games played for ISU this past winter.

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Been saying it all preseason. This is Popes worst team. Least athletic. No player like Oweh that can get you a bucket. They will be teams that spent 10 million or less that beat this team.

8 seed.

Hopefully we miss the tourney and can get a head start on the coaching search.

 

[KyCPA2000]

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

Not a tournament team.

 

[Jmmcgr35]

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

No they aren’t. Given the defense they are facing tonight, they have no excuse for shooting only 47% & 38%.

Honestly I wonder if Cal was tired being here. Idk for sure.

 

[ComebackCats98]

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.

Buddy we probably shouldn’t say we can get better than a coach with ONE final four at Alabama when Billy Gillespie and Mark Pope have been 2 of the last 3 coaches hired. That’s crazy. If it means I don’t have to watch Mark Pope stand crossed arm down 20 you can hire any of those three and I’ll be ecstatic

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Because we’ve always had high expectations for the program . Tbh

Perhaps, unrealistic expectations from some of our more fringe fanbase?

Im just saying, this job shouldn't have to be this pressure cooker situation that burns coaches out.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Check that..we do have Diallo..thank God, otherwise, we'd be losing by 40.

It’s the Gonzaga game without Zoom

 

[RunninRichie]

I can’t stand Mark Pope

 

[HolySmokes]

Mom is disrespectful. We dont shoot one footed threes at UK. Wish he wasnt allowed to play another game this season. Tonight set the tone. This is the tone. Not going to get better. Everyone see why top talent makes fun of Pope ? Hes a joke. That's why

 

[UKCowboys]

I forgot you enjoy being down double digits every game. If I was you this is where I'd call you a Duke fan or something dumb LOL

I don't enjoy this **** at all. What's sad is you do

 

[UKortho]

You are a joke

Sybil.

 

[mash_24]

Fire him tonight. Get Donovan on a plane and offer him whatever he wants to right this sunken ship. A real blue blood would do that after the effort we’ve seen from his teams the past 2 years. There’s some pretty good talent on this roster. They're not being pushed to compete in any way.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Mom 1-6, 0-2 from 3. You don’t pay a guy what we pay him to shoot 6 times.

 

[dckala2_]

Bros this is a 9 or 10 finisher in the league and a 12 seed.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Would Mark Mitchell really have made that much of a difference?

no. moreno was supposed to be a top 4-5 big man and isnt anything close. milan was supposed to be a 2nd team all american. he cant get a shot off in this offense against bottom 100 teams.

 

[The_Catfather]

That shot of Milan on the bench says it all. That's the look of a man regretting leaving Ames, Iowa.

 

[NoDef]

We somehow paid one of the top three point shooters in the country and can't game plan against a top tier team coach and get him only a couple of good looks.

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

He shoots on the way down.

Chuck Hayes style.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

A short handed Kansas team. Just so everyone knows.

But how does a team be up 20 on another top 25 team without a starting pg? I was told that wasnt allowed.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

You got to be kidding me

 

[RedwoodHigh]

ZOOM has 24 of our 49 points.
Time for this board to give him his PROPS.

 

[HolySmokes]

It’s the Gonzaga game without Zoom

35 point loss isn't out the window. Give the ball to Mom a couple more times and let him shoot some more one footer threes. Pope paid this man 6 million. Ridiculous.

 

[RunninRichie]

Vanderbilt
Alabama
Tennessee
Florida

all ranked SEC teams that will beat this team. We aren’t beating Indiana or UNC. Louisville is a loss. 15 game losses plus more.

 

[Bill_the_cat]

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.

They showed the number against top 25 teams before the game. I can’t remember it.

 

[YankeeCpt_rivals378522]

Reggie Miller is NOT walking in that door....
the announcing is the cherry on top of this $h!t sandwich

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Moreno taking 3's like wtf......

 

[Catastic5]

We’re so undisciplined.

 

[UKortho]

Pope f@cking blows, I hope the 10 people on here who still support him come to this realization soon. It’s easy to see all these flaws even in our easier games.

It’s @UKCowboys and Beetle bumb. They are still all in on dope.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I can’t stand Mark Pope

Same. I hate that I don’t even want to watch the team anymore because of him. He has no business coaching this team.

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

Who looks worse shooting three-pointers, McBride or Moreno?

 

[RunninRichie]

Still can’t believe Justin Mcbride is on scholarship.

 

[The_Catfather]

Vanderbilt
Alabama
Tennessee
Florida

There's way more SEC teams that will beat us than that. The conference is going to be a bloodbath for us this year.
