    Somto Cyril Intends to Portal

    Just FYI: Pope targeted Demary from Georgia as his top PG option. For whatever reason, their personalities clashed, so it didn't work out.

    Issel calls out JQ

    Oh, there's no rule against doing it that way. But other schools don't and won't, so you'd lose out on essentially every high-profile player automatically.

    Santa Clara Coach being a whiny b****

    To repeat: STFU until the season is over. There's absolutely no reason to have an existential crisis about the state of Kentucky Basketball after a win like that. Until we're out, just be a fan that actually tries to support your team.

    Get a new coach and get rid of the entire roster!

    STFU until the season is over. Until then, at least try to act like you support your team.

    Any idea what time UK Iowa St will be on Sunday ?

    I've seen you post this a couple of times. Iowa State is #5 in defensive efficiency on KenPom.

    If, God forbid, we win 4 in a row, would that bring on the longest , greatest off season in UK basketball history ?

    Yes.

    Pope is getting killed by the Media

    It's honestly hilarious to me to see people assuming: (1) we're going to get a new outsider AD, and (2) that person is going to move on from Pope immediately, and he won't be back next year. There's absolutely no evidence to support either. I also don't understand the existential crisis and...

    Who on this team is actually a basketball player

    This is the problem. Last year, we had skilled basketball players. This year, the team is much more athletic, but they aren't skilled. No shooting. No understanding of spacing. No court vision or passing ability. I suspect Pope thought he could recruit more athletic players and his system...

    If Barnhart wanted to gamble

    And yet, they are a system team that intentionally plays slower than almost any other team in the country. Beyond that, they are 177th in the percentage of shots they take from 3 and 211th in percentage of scoring that comes from 3 pointers. Again, it's an effective approach that would work at...

    Field of 68 comments

    He's definitely getting another year, but his momentum is gone, and the fan base will be skeptical unless and until he starts winning consistently. There's no way to know what next year's team will look like. Not in this era. But if I were him, I'd load up on shooters and go out swinging...

    If Barnhart wanted to gamble

    McCollum is notorious for playing an extremely slow style. Iowa is 354th in adjusted tempo this season. Drake was 364th last year. That style may win in some places, but it's not what Kentucky fans want to see, and it's certainly not the way to attract top recruits.
