    Out of gas? Did anybody suggest this?

    We just secured a No. 3 or 4 seed—while missing our backup point guard, having two starters out for more than half of SEC play, and another starter nonexistent for a month due to back injuries. Extremely excited about our future.

    SOT: Meanwhile, in Ohio HS Basketball

    Unfortunately this is true. I cover high school and AAU basketball in Ohio and coach AAU. The girls side has turned into a **** show this year scheduling wise. Will be interesting to see if the boys sites get blown up like the girls side did.

    We Should Have Hired Pitino

    I think Pitino is the king of coaches and I would have loved to had him back.. but Pope is the right guy and will lead us back to the mountain top.

    Does mark Pope have it?

    He is still young in his coaching career and has learned more than several prior years combined. His intellect and personality are great and given time and grace, he will grow the program in ways we will be really proud of. I cannot think of another coach that could do what he has with the...

    IF we get healthy, we may have a weird situation where we're a better overall team because of the injuries.

    Really like how Chandler, Perry, and Noah are getting considerable playing time. Helps us this year but really impacts us next year and going forward. I have enjoyed this season more than any other not including championship seasons.

    Just wanna say

    Almost everyone recognizes that we are down a PG.. Butler is also our top defensive player and sets the tone for everyone else. Him being out has a much larger impact than what stands out immediately. Regardless, Pope has shown he can coach with the best of them. I cannot wait for him to add...

    Reed noooo

    He is trying to bridge the gap between Cal and UK fans. He bleeds blue, but also supports his coach and the guys he played with. The players that went to Arkansas were here because of Cal and left to follow him. They were/are loyal to him, no different than Robinson following Pope here.

    How does the “Clap for Cal” fan base feel?

    We all need to understand that Cal can coach.. he chooses when and how he wants to though, and everything is on his terms. He and his players played their super bowl, they will continue to suck and miss the tournament..

    I think the pressure is on us tonight and I'm starting to feel it

    Pope is so cool and calm under pressure, Cal will have his team all hyped and jacked, they will be nervous and uncertain, and will piss it down their leg. Coaching matters, and Pope ie way out in front of Cal on the X’s and O’s and in game adjustments.

    What was your favorite UK team?

    1996 team. For anyone that was around since, I’m noT sure how any other team could be selected. The 2015 team had the best shot at unseating them and pissed it down their leg.

    Not Ranked within 2 weeks

    I read through the part where Arkansas was going to D us up and that was it. Ok, say they do. What are they going to do when Pope throws multiple zone looks at them? Yep, fold like a cheap suit. Grow a pair and stop bringing the testosterone in the room down.

    All the Doom & Gloomers are out

    We have issues, who doesn’t? Pope is my guy and I love my team!
