    Chandler coming on as a 3rd scorer has changed this team

    They were asking Chandler to handle the ball too much after Lowe went down. He is not a PG. Everyone is settling into their role and getting comfortable. For me the biggest difference is Moreno on both ends. Not only a rim protector but a legitimate low post scorer. The fact that they went...

    BB: VIDEO: Kentucky and Mark Pope’s Injury Nightmare is a Statistical Impossibility

    The part worrying me the most is that we have ZERO committed for next year. Stokes should have been a lock and from what I understand the JMI BS has cost us at least one. So while I really wanted Pope to succeed I can’t see how he gets there. If we make it to April with no commitments I...

    "Wouldnt rule out a mid season transfer" - Tipton

    You mean Lowe who was the major reason we won against a top 25 team?

    Pope still believes (coaches show)

    What I don’t understand is how the hell this team can score in the hundreds but completely fall apart against better competition. Better defense explains some of it but not all. Some of the looks they were missing are wide open. Maybe the win against IU will help them get out of their heads...

    Are we overhyping Quaintance?

    I’m not overhyping but he does help with some issues this team has. Rebounding and rim protection. Now that Mo D is back that’s a huge rebounding and inside presence advantage. Ike would not have dominated against JQ.

    Season Mojo - Change from Pre Season to Now

    Is everyone forgetting that UL is a legitimate team? This isn’t the post Pitino era anymore. They have possibly the best back court in the country and our back court is apparently a walking infirmary. Oweh, Aberdeen, and Lowe have all been debilitated and playing hurt. I would have pegged...

    It is an exhibition.

    We’ve got a turd in the punch bowl…

    $8 million for Stokes?

    If you can get the number one player in the class for 2 years you pull that trigger.

    Anyone with me - SGA is the best player in the world RIGHT NOW

    I agree he’s getting there but it’s still Jokic IMO. He should have been MVP 4 times in a row but voter fatigue and bigotry got in the way. This year my money is on Doncic barring an injury.

    Three Kentucky Wildcats given odds to win College Basketball's National Player of the Year

    It’s a guess not common sense there is a difference and that’s my entire point. In which of the two quotes you posted did Pope give any concrete information? All of those words and he didn’t say anything. You can do all of the extrapolating you want but just like the person who wrote the...

    Three Kentucky Wildcats given odds to win College Basketball's National Player of the Year

    They say in this article that Quaintance will be sitting out most of the non conference and while I agree that’s a possibility nobody has said that. These journalists pedal too much false information as fact like they have some inside information.

    Not as much traffic or content

    I felt the same. Even in the offseason there were people posting.

    Metcalfe thinks UK has the best transfer class fwiw

    Lowe and Quaintance are the pivotal pieces for next year. If Quaintance is healthy he is one of the best bigs in the country. If Lowe adapts well to the SEC and gets his 3 point % up I think the rest falls into place. The defense will be better and Popes system will generate 3s. JQ is a...

    Just how talented this roster will be

    How many of our guys are striving for the next level? Most still have that dream and I’d say Pope uses that. If you want to play professionally, NBA or overseas you have to be able to play with other good players. Practices will be very competitive making everyone better. If Pope can keep...

    Zion Williamson being sued for rape and abuse during time at Duke.

    As soon as I read “financial abuse” I disregarded it. Is there anything more entitled then a woman saying he didn’t give me as much money as I thought he should have.
