    Jasper

    I laughed really hard at this during the game. It was so stupid and absurd ... definitely the perfect example of OTE culture and what a lot of kids think actually works these days.

    Jasper

    Had the EXACT same reaction. Turned to my friend and said, "oh no ... here it goes ... we're screwed." Worse, before the game I sent the following in my group chat: "If Jasper Johnson gets his standard 2 minutes in the first half then Mark Pope is not serious about winning this game." I still...

    Pope is cooked with this quote

    Pope truly doesn't get it. Recruits today don't even remember Anthony Davis's team winning it all. Pope thinks they care about the 90's?! We're so screwed with this mindset. Hard reality check for Kentucky basketball. Times have changed. Adapt or die.

    Moreno "Last time I get to wear this jersey with this team"

    The tape on Moreno would have NBA GMs laughing. He was atrocious against real competition. Atrocious. That whiffed put-back dunk yesterday that could have cut the lead to 4 (instead, it goes to 8 seconds later), was a jaw-dropping "OMG" moment. Embarrassing, really.

    BYE JQ

    His dad shut him down because he was recruited to be Amari Williams 2.0 and run the offense from up top but he was used to set screens and look for put-backs.

    Assistant coach rumor news

    Well, let's see: -Didn't sign a single recruit. -Mark Fox was a mediocre at best coach at a team that never won a thing (GA). -Team appeared to have no idea how to defend a pick n roll all season. -Didn't see any UK players develop into better players other than Aberdeen. -Came out sluggish, in...

    If J.Q. had any honor

    JQ is done at UK. His dad shut him down. Pope recruited him using the "be like Amari" pitch, ball in his hands, directing offense, flexing his talent ... and he came here and set screens. That's going to be used against Pope for the duration of his time at UK recruiting bigs, book it.

    7 primary players

    Big problem for Pope this season - he acted like he had a 10-deep roster, even when UK had 3 guys in street clothes that represented 3 of the top 5 overall players on the roster. He would predictably sub guys in every game, at the same moment, and you could gameplan for it and go on a run, which...

    Nebraska Football, Indiana Basketball .... UK Basketball is Next

    It's painfully obvious. The program has ZERO juice right now ... isn't cool with recruits ... isn't a destination for top transfers ... totally cooked.

    Think about it logically

    UK can afford a $21M buy-out. You have to win NOW in this era. You can turn it all around overnight, why waste a whole season?

    Sad truth of the matter is...

    If this were a private sector company, the CEO would be fired tomorrow and someone like Bruce Pearl would be brought in to tear it down and salvage whatever he can until the fiscal year closes.

    Up 8 with 4 minutes to go

    Mo was God-awful tonight. JQ doesn't look like a top 10 draft pick to me, unless you're banking on 100% potential play and stashing him for a year in the developmental league. He is a completely zero on offense and that won't work in the NBA as a big. This isn't 1986.

    Fire him tonight

    What in the actual f*ck were those plays out of timeouts that resulting in back to back turnovers and Lowe's awful 3? Having Moreno and Garrison in together to try to pass back and forth? This is coaching, not players at this point.

    Never watched a team F up more in a single game

    The last 3:45 of that game was embarrassing, especially for dudes making six and seven figures of income to play this game. Boosters should be furious.

    This has got to be over now, right?

    This has to be the beginning of the end of a disastrous tenure for Mark Pope.
