I decided not to watch. The last few years I only watched games I thought we’d likely win. I figured we win tonight but even still I just didn’t have the urge to even see UK play. Just now decided to check on the game/board and see that they’re fighting for their lives. lol it’s absolutely pathetic and makes me glad I went with the decision to watch something else.

I'm watching but only half paying attention. It's a game I expect them to win but they are screwing around so much its closer than it should be.

Honestly I enjoyed Gillespie 2nd year more than this year. We atleast had crazy Jodie Meeks performances..
And I wasn't thinking the whole time our coach was hired cause he played here and never won a ncaa game.
I never thought I’d see a coach worse than Gillespie. I can’t believe we have to deal with this. Ferrari my ***, dude bought a Fiero with a body kit.

I’m glad I did not watch. I will not watch this team again. They just make me angry. They won’t do anything so what’s the point?

Bad on both sides of the ball. Horrible coaching. Cringey *** press conferences and radio interviews

Oweh and Aberdeen hate each other. What a dumpster fire

**** this team
We now understand why Florida did not want to pay over a million for him. They knew and I can’t blame Oweh.

Yes he DID the 9-16 squad was much worse. Several of his later teams were this way. This team reminds me of many of them
The 9-16 team never got beat by 35. And if they got to play Nichols state and bellarmine they would have won more than 9 games, they only played 25 games cause of covid so they didn’t get to rack up wins against D2 level teams like we did this year

it’s very likely this team is worse imo

I agree. For instance, Pope really thought Lowe could be a starting PG for UK? Wheeler would be better right now.

Pope shelled out money to keep BG? Why?

Pope didn't realize Oweh is really good when there are real threats from deep that keep the lane open more? How many missed layups has he had in traffic?

Pope went out of his way to pay starter money for good bench pieces in Aberdeen and Mo?

Pope has cratered this program. No elite talent is watching this season and thinking of coming here.

When they were ranked highly in the preseason and Pope was pumping them, I was looking at the roster and thinking, “How is this a good team?” When I, and others, shared those thoughts, we were told that the sports media, coaches, etc. knew a lot more than we did. Turns out, they don’t. We have a trash team and a trash coach. And saying so doesn’t make anyone a trash fan - just an objective one.

The Billie G team and 9-16 team were worse to watch for me but this team frustrates me because they lack the proper effort. They show it at times and other they don’t. They aren’t good enough not to try 100% and it’s sad the coaching staff allows them to.
Those 2 teams and Archie Goodwins season are the worst of my recent memory. That team was horrific to watch too

Worse than our NIT team
I loved our NIT team.
While inefficient, no one can say Archie, Nerlens, Willie, Uncle Julius, and Polson didn't come to play every night.
Nothing this season comes close to Archies second half vs UL at the Yum or Nerlens 12 blocks at Ole Miss.
Even after Nerlens went down the team still rallied for a home win vs a Missouri team that was better than they were.
Didn't end well but I liked everyone of the kids
