    What is your grade for Mark Pope in Year 1

    B+ Solid season. Lot of injuries and had to build a roster on short notice. However, the problems that plagued us early plagued us all year. Lots of sloppy stretches and struggled with physicality. Too many losses to teams we were better than and too many clunkers like tonight to give it an A in...

    Anyone else feel cursed as a UK fan?

    No I don’t feel cursed. We got a national championship, a runner up, 2 other Final Fours, and 3 elite 8’s under Cal. A lot of great memories and fun times. It was time to move on. I’m not going to be pissy that he’s having success somewhere else.

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

    I wish we hadn’t booed Cal and I’m frustrated we lost. Not sure what’s hard to comprehend about that.

    Mark Pope’s offense

    Rondo has had issues with virtually every team he’s been on. He’s had a lot of issues with coaches. I loved watching him as a player, but I don’t want him anywhere near our coaching staff regardless of who the HC is. He has no experience as a coach and his track record as a locker room cancer is...

    New Theory

    I’d love Reed back but if we’re hiring a coach in the hopes a top 5 pick comes back we are insanely dumb.

    You were warned

    Cal could’ve needed to go and this hire have been a bad one. They aren’t mutually exclusive. It was clear Cal wasn’t getting back to what he was. It was time to move on. We still could’ve made a better hire.

    I Don't Hate The Hire (*Ducks Down As Things Get Thrown At Me*)

    I’d rather suck next year with the right coach that can build than suck slightly less because we had more time to fill out the roster.

    Another Cal Post

    I’m of the opinion if you win a title here, you belong in the rafters. Unless he leaves us with a scandal or something, I think he’s owed that. Barnhart agreeing to an awful contract isn’t Cal’s fault.

    Sheppard ...

    I’m not sure staying will improve his stock. If he’s a top 5 pick that’s hard to pass up. I don’t see him being a great pro, but I can understand if he moves on. I’d love for him to stay but I doubt he will.

    Do your part and stop going to games

    If Cal isn’t fired before next season, anyone that shows up to a game or Big Blue Madness is complicit in the failures of this program. It’s time to boycott.

    OT: Can/should Cal learn anything from the Nuggets?

    If Cal had the best player in college basketball we’d win a lot of games. That’s how it’s always been with Cal.

    Jones is shredding UK MBB right now

    I don’t mean to be rude, but when has that ever happened at UK with Cal? We could have a young core that is set up for the future to be good. But then they’ll all leave at the end of the season. That’s what happens every year with Cal. Our team’s development cycle is October-April then we reset...

    KSR info on who stays and who goes

    I’m of the opinion of let’s just wait and see. I get we’re out of the tournament so it’s relevant to the program now, but I’m tired of speculating who stays and who goes. We’ve had way too many guys where the “reports” were he really wanted to stay and then they ended up leaving. I also don’t...
