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

[Tri-Countycat]

We don’t pass the ball, at all. I can’t believe we run the dribble weave over and over and expect different results.

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Malachi just tried to wake someone up in the third row.

 

[Big BlueBeard]

They’re backup 5 is dominate against Moreno.

 

[RunninRichie]

Moreno is the worst UK center in 15 years.

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

I hate it. The negativity of the board towards the team sucks, the players are trying, they just aren't that good. This season will be it for Pope

Agreed. Hate it too my man. Talent isn’t there. Coaching isn’t there. This team lost their PG like 3 days ago and is still running it right up our rears. Our offense looks so guardable. Just bad. Still good enough to finish middle of pack SEC. Still good enough to make the tourney. But sheesh. Just a slow bleed to what we all know is probably coming.

 

[UKCowboys]

Sybil.

Anytime mouth

 

[SECualHealing]

Damn I guess growing a beard didn't fix his other flaws.

 

[Catastic5]

Can’t even get an and 1.

 

[JwUKFan11]

I never said Pope could be Hurley. I said you would have fired Hurley. I understand the slightest distinction sails over your head

And I "would have" fired Pope? What is your point?

 

[fisherscatfan]

Why is Moreno just now down low? Pope acting like he is John Wooden running some stupid high post offense is just stupid. He ain’t John Wooden. Moreno is not the passer they think.

The defense is horrific. Lazy.

Rebounding is horrific. Lazy.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Even Jesus would say Jesus

 

[UKortho]

You have said that Sybil.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

We got lucky against Duke btw. 9/10 times they beat us at that champions classic

that team actually had pretty good players though, by far the best roster Pope assembled.

 

[TX Wildcat]

Pope has entered his "Little House on the Prairie" era at age 54. Next thing we know he will stop talking to local media, refuse to take the trash out, and push his dog down the sidewalk in a stroller.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Diallo’s agents is already working the phones….

Honestly ive seen enough, I hope some players bail. This needs to burn down.

Pope needs to be embarrassed and run out of town

 

[MarkPftw]

Get that ******* idiot off the sideline. Brad Calipari would be a better Head Coach.

 

[UKfan2151]

Turning this **** off. I've got better things to do than watch a Mark Pope coached team trying to play basketball.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

good lord....moreno throws it into the 5th row.

For every good thing he does he does 2-3 things bad that just doesn't work..

 

[dckala2_]

Not even watching. Just chatting on here.

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

The fact that Moreno is supposedly one of better players says it all. He’s getting punked left and right

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

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.

Georgia is going to beat us dude. Just fire the dude already.

 

[ComebackCats98]

Over/under 2 comments by Pope about this being part of beautiful journey?

 

[kfwa]

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

well, yes it does, or we become Indiana.

now you can say we are on our way now, but if we followed your pattern of not holding coaches to an incredibly high standard, we'd be there long ago.

 

[Anon1739778738]

Popettes stop supporting this nonsense.Its embarrassing.University of Kentucky deserves better than this.

 

[YankeeCpt_rivals378522]

At least Jodie Meeks was at least smart enough to get open and take 3s when Billy G was begging him not to..

 

[BluWildcatz]

that team actually had pretty good players though, by far the best roster Pope assembled.

i liked that team too but im just being honest

 

[JustBlue]

Serious question:

What have they been doing all summer? We knew the defense was going to have issues but the offense is painful to watch

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

LOL

 

[UKWildcats1987]

No one can hit a FT

 

[Catastic5]

Moreno was so stupid coming back. Might be playing his way out of the first round.

 

[RunninRichie]

Moreno should have went to the draft last year. He’s not making the NBA now:

 

[BlueSince92]

I thought I was depressed; then I remembered: um......this is Kansas without their point guard. Now I don't know what I am but it's not just depressed.

 

[UKortho]

Anytime mouth

Sybil. You understand the reference. Bet you don’t moron.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

9-16 from the free throw line is pretty sweet

 

[SECualHealing]

And somehow UK fans will still pay outrageous money to pack out Rupp, the SECT and one Tourney game blowout loss.

 

[crxohio]

bcg's team quit on senior night against georgia in a must win game to get to the NCAA tournament. I don't blame them, but they were over BCG

Program dead then. And dead now! By first media timeout! There is no justification. He has got to go! He cannot win games, much less big ones!

 

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Feels like the last 10 minutes has been nothing but missed free throws.

 

[TX Wildcat]

Moreno is the worst UK center in 15 years.

Overrated by fans because he is a local kid. Overrated by the media because his size and he plays for UK.

Should not be making what he is making!

 

[RunninRichie]

Self needs to call the dogs off

 

[dckala2_]

F it, I’ll reach out to oats tonight to gauge interest.
