    Little Rock post game thoughts

    We turned the ball over way too much. That was the main thing. Take care of the ball and get good shots all night and the outcome is much different. Wilkins is a talent that needs to be reigned in to some degree. I’d rather have his talent than not. Mason Williams looked good. Hawthorne...

    ***** OFFICIAL Little Rock vs UK GAME THREAD*****

    We will be fine, imo. Long. Plenty of skill. Have been very sloppy with the ball. Not sure fine will be as good as we want to be, but some positivity wouldn’t be the end of the world. It’s 2 weeks until Halloween.

    We can’t even get a whistle in an exhibition. Pressing and only 1 foul in 13 minutes.

    Kentucky 25 in coaches poll, drops from AP

    Don’t know how accurate but saw on Twitter that this was the first time since 2012 that a team won a road game and fell out of the poll (Boise State) and the first time since 2002 it’s happened in the SEC (Tennessee).

    Kentucky 25 in coaches poll, drops from AP

    Apparently several voters dropped us completely, which admittedly is a head scratcher. If you had us at 25 and left us there while moving someone else from 24 to 20 or whatever, I guess I could see that in some cases. But if you think we were top 25 last week, watched us go on the road and win...

    Kentucky 25 in coaches poll, drops from AP

    Yeah I’ve been watching for like 45 years. Often we didn’t deserve the respect or we shot ourselves in the foot. Nice to see us go out and take a few.

    Kentucky 25 in coaches poll, drops from AP

    We had 150 points last week for 24th. 160 points this week for 26th. So it was more of a quirk than anything, but the kind of thing that seems to always happen to us.

    Mark Pope deserves a massive "atta boy." Well done, coach.

    Feeling good about the roster. Now I want to see if Pope can get these guys to go wide open for 40+ games. the great teams usually only have a slip up or two. They regroup and come back nastier. I want to see us fighting for a one seed all year.

    Mason Williams (the guy some of you said will not play)

    No reason to be negative about this kid. I’m excited he wants to be here and look forward to seeing what he brings. His dad was a player.

    Jack Givens was on Tom Leach this morning....

    I happen to know he’s a highly successful guy. Probably won’t toot his own horn. And I can’t disagree with anything he’s saying strictly from what we’ve observed with Pope’s coaching to date. However, I choose to be more optimistic. Just because that’s my choice, and I’d rather go into the...

    Trivia: (level moderate) only P5 school UK has never played in basketball?

    We beat Washington in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in 1985. Kenny Walker vs. Detlef Schrempf.

    06/26 ANONYMOUS POLL: How Confident Are You That Pope Is Going To Crush It

    Voted pretty doubtful. See about a 4/10 chance. Has shown he can win big games, but also have his team come in totally unprepared and get blown out multiple times. Right mix of players, lightning in a bottle maybe makes 1 FF run? Maybe.

    Whatever we are paying Mo Williams...double it...like right now.

    We seem to have more juice with Mo. I think we should be a little wait and see with Hampton. He’s the exception so far with high school recruiting and Pope. Should be fair and it least consider why that may be. Acaden Lewis was a good get also. Hopefully the uptick continues.
