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

[Cats4321]

I think the biggest problem is that our offense is still designed for a left handed point guard. Need to change that eventually.

 

[BluWildcatz]

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

rating each others beauty, reading the mormon bible, pillow fighting (helps hone your softness) according to rainmaker (my inside source)

 

[katwest]

We are pathetic!

 

[Catastic5]

We’re just standing around on offense.

 

[Anon17922829675390261]

9-16 from the line

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

I would rather have Jon Hood coaching this team

 

[Tri-Countycat]

What excuse are we gonna get from our wonderful Shaman is gonna give us. We are young?, missing some players?, got in early foul trouble? How about own up to sucking at getting players and not able to coach to ones we did get

 

[Wildcat4Ever]

Just a boring stagnant offense

 

[LineSkiCat14]

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

It really seems like I've watched three entirely different schemes each of these three years. Nothing is consistent. Theres no trademark from Pope that I can rely on to be there every year.

Its like the entire strategy and offense change with each new team.

[Johnny_Jeepers]

Just wait until we get that dude from Washington State back.

 

[Anon1739778738]

Kam is over hyped and brings nothing to this game.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

45M-50M on rosters over 2 years and this is what we get...

 

[Colts240]

This team will not beat any good teams this is horrible

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Self needs to call the dogs off

No way man. These guys and Pope should take their asswhoopin’s like men.

 

[bleedsblue5]

Is there any chance we make a change before the end of the season? I mean any?

 

[sheppard98]

At this point I sincerely say Pope is worse than BCG. He needs to go. I would take the crook Will Wade over this trash. This is a total embarrassment. Kansas will easily take the all time lead back this season, Vandy will beat us by 30...I don't think this team can win 8 games in conference play, in fact I don't think they can finish over .500 for the entire season. This isn't even a NIT team. I hate being this negative, but I'm just being realistic now. I've said this more and more each season, but UK basketball is dead.

 

[kyjeff1]

Its gonna be hilarious to see him give up the all-time wins in just 3 years when fans were fretting about Cal doing it for like a decade lmao.

Sorry, but I'm gonna get in some victory laps. Cal never got down 20 points in a championship classic I dont believe.

LOL, man, you really are s*cking Cal off in this thread.

"Cal never got down by 20 in the Champions classic"

Jeez, what kind of a trophy do you get for that?

I can just rebut that by saying "Pope never lost at home to Evensville, UNCW, or Richmond"
See how that works?
Do better.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

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.

I think theres a middle ground somewhere. And maybe not even 50/50. But our fans could maybe go outside a little more, relax just a bit.

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

Pope is easy to recruit against.

 

[WiseSerpent]

Th Hot Seat Index (HSI) is definitely ratcheting up after tonight.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Self needs to call the dogs off

He's going to rub Pope's nose all in it... Those Kentucky boys are definitely going to be a part of the rubbing...

 

[TheWyldKat_rivals45219]

Just wait until we get that dude from Washington State back.

No doubt we’ll go undefeated from that point on

 

[Colts240]

Mom brings nothing, kam brings nothing, McBride brings nothing, this is a very bad roster

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

It's just insane the money that's in this roster and look at the product

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

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.

This team isn’t making no tourney.

I agree. Tonight is a pretty big indictment for Pope. Probably the worst game he has coached since he got here IMO. Even with the flaws, there a lot of coaches who could tlake the pieces we have and put a better product on the floor. We have solid guards. Momcilovic has to force bad shots because we run nothing for him. He could have had 20 tonight easy. We should play small ball with Moreno, Momcilovic and three guards most of the game and we should play zone with our length but lack of athletes. Its a mess

 

[Farsight Clone]

The mere fact that Milan has zero sets for him tonight.

HIS OWN TEAM wont pass to him.

That is 1000% on Pope. Bro has one of the best shooters and can't use him.

So bad. Like I'd rather have Bugs Bunny coach. At least it would be entertaining.

 

[SECualHealing]

I'm eating Taco Bell and taking a on Mitch's front porch.

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

This team is special. BEAUTIFUL

 

[BBNinSCar]

This is so disappointing. We won’t see this team ranked in the top 25 for the rest of the season.

 

[HolySmokes]

Had to turn it off. Im pissed. All that be nice to Pope hes our coach is out the window. Pitchforks!

 

[fisherscatfan]

This team has better pieces than the whole and it is 100% because of the idiots on the sideline. They honestly look like watching 5 guys who said they had next at the local rec center.

 

[Lameguy]

I think the biggest problem is that our offense is still designed for a left handed point guard. Need to change that eventually.

I don’t know about that but for goodness sake park Moreno under the basket and quit bringing him out.

 

[UKCowboys]

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

I would have too. What's yours

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Just wait until we get that dude from Washington State back.

And the eastern kentucky coal miner.

 

[Turbo_Blue78]

Overall I’m proud of Zoom tonight he showed up

 

[RunninRichie]

@DarkPope come get you some coward

 

[Catastic5]

Pope in practice:

 

[kywildcat1021979]

45M-50M on rosters over 2 years and this is what we get...

45-50 Million just doesn't buy what it used to....
