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

[Blue Jesus]

9-16 from the line

Kansas is 9-15, so we can't even point to free throws to explain this beating

 

[legalbeagle123]

Aren't enough strong words to describe how I feel about Mitch Barnhart.

 

[HolySmokes]

Well I stayed up. Get it within 10 might seem like a win.

Pope moral victories! UK can lose within ten these days its a win ain't it? Not directed at you.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Just a poorly coached team. No offensive plan. No defensive plan. No situational plans.

We probably are hard to prepare for since we don’t even know what we’re doing.

Pope should have been fired after Mich St, after Gonzaga and after at Vandy last year.

Then he should have been fired at season’s end.

He has escaped more often than Houdini.

But it’s not too late. Fire him tonight as soon as this game is over.

9-16 from the line

That’s a sign that it’s in their heads, they’re doubting everything and it affects the easiest things.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

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.

We lost by 34 to Duke in the Champions Classic with Cal. Guess he pushed that memory aside

 

[UKCowboys]

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

Saw the movie. Now go hide behind your mommy

 

[YankeeCpt_rivals378522]

I, at least, hope anyone who called for Cal's head.... better be vocal and public about this abomination.....

 

[Farsight Clone]

Pope in practice:

When he tries to recruit....

 

[Catastic5]

That’s a sign that it’s in their heads, they’re doubting everything and it affects the easiest things.

And who’s fault is that?

We didnt play those team under Pope, I dont believe. Give him another 10 years, he will have lost to a lot of mid majors by then.

 

[RunninRichie]

My favorite team is dead.

 

[dckala2_]

We are clear and set in agreement now frens?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

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

 

[kfwa]

I'm just stunned. I expected us to win this game tonight with Kansas not having their PG.

To not even be competitive with this team.

 

[crxohio]

Pope gives a ****! He does! But the problem is that "giving and winning cannot be separated". Batt has got to do something now! We are #1 college basketball program. That happened by giving a **** and winning! We are blown out! Again!

 

[RedwoodHigh]

THIS IS PAINFUL.

 

[JwUKFan11]

I would have too. What's yours

So you agree but are mad when people say it because we would have fired Hurley? Yeah you aren't a smart person. Enjoy your fast food shift tomorrow.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

4th or 5th back cut....

 

[RunninRichie]

Milan just chucking shots because Pope isn’t qualified enough to run plays for him

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Does Mo Williams have any eligibility left?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I agree. Tonight is a pretty big indictment for Pope. Probably the worst game he has coached since he got here IMO. Even with tge flaws, there a lot of coaches who could take 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

That’s because Pope is an awful coach. Offensive genius my ***.

 

[Thunder Mash]

I haven't watched a single second of Kentucky basketball this season... first time ever since I was a wee kid. I'm up late on my computer and decided to check the forum out. Reading a couple comments on here as to how the game is going proves exactly why I don't watch this **** any more. I know this isn't an airport yadda yadda, but this crap isn't remotely close to Kentucky basketball. Nostalgia doesn't win basketball games.

 

[Catastic5]

Little too late for that 3, Momo.

He is your guy

[SECualHealing]

I'm still finding it hard to see why Stokes chose KU over us

 

[megablue]

The speed of the game seems to be too much for Momcilovic ... plus, he tires playing defense on the other end.

 

[Blue Jesus]

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

If we were clearly on track to miss the tournament I think it's conceivable given we have a new AD. But unlikely even then, given Pope's history with the program.

 

[YankeeCpt_rivals378522]

he should be dunkin donuts....


gotta make the donuts....

 

[mash_24]

Milan doesn’t want to be here. Another player Pope has somehow made hate the game of basketball.

 

[MarkPftw]

Pope has turned UK into IU. Think about it, he's the new Coach Clappy, he's a weirdo, he only has a Sweet 16 to boast about, etc...except he's worse than Crean in just about every way.

 

[kfwa]

from twitter - no idea if its true but why not? I'm salty as hell right now

In his 75 games at Kentucky, Mark Pope has trailed by double digits in 27 of them. In his 52 power conference games he has trailed by double digits in 24 of them.

 

[Anon1781410948]

Is Kinneys chin REAL? shid looks like he's undercover.

 

[UKCowboys]

As soon as N'Diaye jacked that three he should have been benched

 

[St.Patterson_54_]

4-19 from three.

What exactly are we good at?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Pope in practice:

I’m Prison Mark!

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Not the guy you want taking a three there

 

[WeWant9]

Would anyone be upset if Mo Williams finished out the season as HC?

 

[Catastic5]

Remember all the Pope suckers who told us to “wait until we played.” Everyone knew what was going to happen except the few weirdos who kept holding out hope.

 

[dckala2_]

No use talkin cal anymore frens. We know who he was his last 4 years.

batt NEEDS to be on the phone gauging interest
