    Kentucky In Touch With Miami Transfer Divine Ugochukwu

    I am assume he is talking about our '24 starting backcourt which improved their career percentages coming to UK.

    Platoons

    Agreed, Pope is going to base it off of matchups and his data driven approach to peak performance management. If we can get the team to gel and build trust, there shouldn't really be many chemistry issues if he makes executive decisions to run with the hot hand later in the year having proven to...

    Sean Woods Named Scott Co. Head Coach

    Given the past abusive coaching issues, I hope he has mellowed out if he is going to be entrusted with younger folks now.

    Anyone know what grade of ACL tear JQ had?

    For sure, but unless Pope is completely incompetent (and not a single reason to believe that), he knows this damn well and it was all taken into account in negotiations.

    For those questioning Mark Pope

    With the big wins and the final result (first S16 in half a decade), Pope's methods really can't be questioned yet. Not saying this because I worship him (I didn't even want him as coach to start) but because we need to see what is actually a trend before we can make any assessment. How many...

    Passing

    We attempt way more risky-looking, aggressive passes and also many more end around handoffs as part of the offense we run and Pope's trust in our veteran players. This creates some moments of brilliance but also more opportunities for failure. Combine that with the point the other poster made...

    Early take on the Pope era

    There was a reason KY was basically unranked to start the season, and it wasn't because Pope was disrespected as a coach I think, it was because he got a bunch of mid major Allstars who won't be going pro and made them into a team that didn't look good on paper. The freshmen (while I love them...

    Don’t look now…

    I don't think UK prioritizes Women's basketball to the point that we would aim for "greatness at any cost", but after the ground work that DeMoss and Mitchell laid to make us respectable, I do think that UK is committed to funding on-going excellence, which is what Mitch has right now. There are...

    We are shockingly bad on defense

    Overall it is perfectly explainable by the team composition. You have a bunch of crafty skilled veterans (with below NBA) talent who find ways to get open and score against basically any college opposition but those same vets are also limited from a length and athleticism perspective and can...

    OT: Lady Kats vs U6 at 6:00 EST

    How is the Key person the best we got? Everyone else playing decent but she is missing everything, turning it over, blowing runouts...worst performance I've seen in awhile. I guess depth is that bad this year?

    Watching our bigs play is so fun

    The truly frightening thing about this game is this

    I am very excited about the upside of the team. Guys played great and Pope coached a great game, made better by having vets who could actually translate his instructions into action. We have not gelled completely and the offense looks dangerous, even against the best teams, especially when we...

    <<< Kentucky vs dUKe Game Thread >>>

    I think we might have to mix our rotations a bit more. That lineup could actually have Jason Robinson in it sometimes instead of chandler. Chandler isn't ready to give us anything in big games yet. Butler also gets pulled too much. Maybe he and kriisa can play together for a few minutes

    Kerr Kriisa's assists today

    Chandler is barely a step above our freshmen in terms of experience but he has the frame and athleticism to br something in year 2 and 3. Just needs to be able to have some kind of consistent offense. Almonor is a great backup to have who is a 3pt threat when others are getting a breather...

    The difference in recruiting philosophies is drastic...

    Super excited about next years team and really hope Pope can prove out his system at this level so he can continue getting high ranked recruits and portal pieces that fit his system. I definitely don't think avoiding top HS players or hot portal pieces expecting huge NIL bags is a permanent...
