    Jasper

    I was drinking beer with my brother, having a surprisingly fun time because we were up by 9 points... and then I saw Jasper jog over to the scores table and I literally said "oh no..." It has happened so many times this season and even last season. A coach that can't see, what the rest of us so...

    Pope is cooked with this quote

    I've said this the whole time. You don't win national championships by constantly thinking about Tony Delk, Rupp, Givens, John Wall etc. You win national championship because you have the best players, who always feel like they are going to win and refuse to lose + great coaching. Look at the...

    Grade This Season

    It's an F because it's not just about wins and losses for this season. It's about vibes and the momentum going forward with the head coach/leadership. All that good grace was completely shattered in 1 year. That gets an F.

    Enough is Enough

    I think it comes down to looking for a coach for the long term. Mark Pope doesn't have to be a terrible coach or anything but the question is "should Mark Pope be the head coach of Kentucky for the next 10-20 years?" That's why you hire a coach, to keep him for a long time. And the answer is...

    It's not just roster construction

    I think Mark Pope is just a very, very niche coach. He can sneak into the top 25 every other year at a school like Utah or something, but it just won't work here. As we have seen from the recruiting. He needs a very specific player, who matches his personality and fits in a very specific system.

    It's not just roster construction

    You don't look like that in March (and all season long) from just bad roster construction (which is also his own fault.) Iowa St. had an identity, despite not having superstars, their best player injured, etc.. There is a massive difference in coaching. I don't see any point in giving Mark Pope...

    Arkansas

    Bro do you know how message boards work?? Just because you don't pay attention or see KenPom, media, news, etc. at the time doesn't mean that I'm now going to go back and search for it all. "Give me your reference" Is just another way of saying "I don't know what I'm talking about or can't...

    Arkansas

    First off it was well documented that UK had one of the hardest SEC schedules, on top of that, at one point in the schedule UK actually had the toughest remaining schedule left in all of college basketball. And yes Kentucky was 1 win away from a 4 seed. Arkansas had a very mediocre year, lost...

    Arkansas

    The SEC seeding is based off of conference schedule which Kentucky had a much harder schedule (and just barely missed out on a 4 seed) the conference seeding then allowed Arkansas to have a very easy schedule to the championship, winning that also helped their NCAA seed, which was also helped by...

    "This just in, UK fans talk about things related to UK basketball." Calipari is whether you like it or not. Everytime the national media talks about Arkansas or Calipari, Kentucky is also mentioned. It is and will be used against us.

    Arkansas

    They didn't take care of business either, 1 game separated us from a 4 seed and they lost to us at home. From the start of the SEC tournament all the way to the sweet 16 their path is Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Vandy, Hawaii and High Point. Not even 1 seeds get that path.

    Arkansas

    They beat Ole Miss and Oklahoma by a combined 6 points total, that's how they won the SEC in the first place, scraping by bottom half teams. They are getting rewarded for playing nobody.

    Arkansas

    is getting one of the biggest layups in March I have ever seen. Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Vandy, Hawaii and now they are gonna get High Point.

    The Best Players or the Right Players?

    Because if you're going to formulate an argument around recent success, it would be logical to include the 3 national championship games that happened right before, and it wouldn't be logical to include 1970.
