    Stop Blaming the Players

    Is it the players' fault they don't have the talent to beat good teams in high major conferences? I don't blame them for being who they are. They can't help it. They CAN outwork other teams but that doesn't necessarily equate to wins. These players just aren't very good. That's the problem.

    Brandon Garrison

    Yeah, that might be the best development from this game tonight. It was a terrible sequence for BG. Tried to dribble into traffic, made a terrible decision, lost the ball, and then just loafed down the floor instead of hustling, despite the turnover was all on him. But Pope told him to get out...

    Some Improvement but it means Little

    Yep, I was planning to boycott but I couldn't stay away. I'm weak. Haha! Go ahead, hit me. I deserve it.

    Some Improvement but it means Little

    I will give the Cats some credit for their effort tonight. But we've seen this before against weaker opponents. Until these guys beat a good team, it really means very little. Their bipolar was on full display tonight. They saw some shots fall and then everyone was making shots. But the problem...

    Boycott this Team until they beat Someone

    I think I will, tomorrow night at 6pm CST. šŸ¤£

    Boycott this Team until they beat Someone

    I'm sorry ukfan042. I truly am in mourning right now over my Cats. I don't see a silver lining with this group. I hate thinking this way. I can't remember being this pessimistic about UK basketball in my lifetime. I've seen some bad teams a few times. I think Billy Gillispie's last team was...

    Aberdeen & Jasper Speak on Gonzaga Loss

    And when those guys do get back (if that EVER actually happens), these players will relax and just watch the injured guys go to work, and we'll still lose. Injuries aren't the main problem here. The main problem is a lack of talent, a lack of ability, no leaders, only followers. We have a team...

    Not sure where Parrish got this, but he thinks JQ debuts against St. Johns

    It won't even matter. Quaintance may truly be a superstar, but with the dead weight all around him, it won't matter. He doesn't even have the ball in his hands. He's depending on one of these mediocre guards to get him the ball and he can't make them able to handle the ball well enough or get...

    Boycott this Team until they beat Someone

    Don't buy tickets. Don't attend a game. Don't even watch a game until they beat a decent team. Bear in mind, that may mean you don't watch another UK game this season, because they're that bad. So prepare yourself for that distinct possibility. These guys are millionaires just drawing checks...

    Pope radio show..

    Hey Mark, the MAIN problem isn't the effort or approach, it's the idiot who constructed this team. YOU brought in 12 role players, no shooters, no alphas, all betas, and about as mentally fragile as any group I've ever seen. There is not an elite talent. You paid a bunch of 5th and 6th men like...

    December 13 Can’t Get Here Quick Enough

    I was glad it ended and I would never have restarted it. December 13 is going to be an Indiana slaughter of this UK team in Rupp. Enjoy! The series couldn't have restarted at a worse time.

    Post Game Standout

    I agree. If they're getting paid like pros, they need to know there are consequences for just not getting the job done. And those could be incentives, too. I don't think you could fine them or cut their pay for missing shots, but issues of effort and not listening to coaches could definitely...

    Bench or suspend the malcontents

    Do we really know there are malcontents or are we assuming there MUST be because of how bad the team has played? I've heard people say things but haven't heard or read anything concrete or definitive. I wouldn't doubt it's true, though. There's no doubt, this team has serious issues, and I'm...

    Do you miss Cal?

    The reason I wanted Calipari way back in 2009 was because Tubby, and then Gillispie, never could seem to recruit the elite players. The thing that you could always count on with Cal was a couple (sometimes multiple) elite players to lead the team. Now he sent them away as quickly as he signed...

    There's No Way Around It

    Yeah, I hate to be this way. If I can find a silver lining when it comes to my Cats, I will. I don't see any silver lining here, unfortunately. I look forward to UK basketball every year and it's so disappointing when the team isn't even competing in the big games. I was looking forward to all...
