This team and Mark the dope Pope absolutely suck!!!! I want everyone that’s gonna come for my neck to remember how Vady has made us look like a bunch of limp pricks and tell me you see heart, motivation, and effort! IM SICK OF THIS BS!!! It’s past time for Mark Pope resign while he still can before he literally gets run the hell outta Lexington! THIS ISNT UK BASKETBALL!!!
Yes I’m posting this IN GAME! Don’t give af!!!
- Thread starter TreyzAllDay
- Start date
they are going to tell you to root for arkansas instead be prepared
Pope WAS NEVER THE MAN FOR THE JOB!!!
I totally agree. We are being absolutely embarrassed
Get ‘em!!! It’s enough…especially after this ranked “Vady” team!!!!!!!
Said they’d get stomped 
nobody wants to except it smh..
nobody wants to except it smh..I could care less whether Candy is ranked or not. We are being made to look like a bad middle school team by them! I’m done with their sorry *** piss poor effort! They absolutely SUCK AND ITS ALL ON POPE!!!
We haven’t been Uk basketball all year. A year 3 of pope will/would be a disaster. This team is not a tournament team, beating the bottom of the SEC is not KY basketball. This team sucks, pope sucks!!!!
BUT WE BEAT LSU ON A HAIL MARY PASS!!!Said they’d get stomped
The team is going nowhere. They’re average and barely care. Sorry until we get a new coach this is how it’s going to be. Now the Pope bregade have a new one, the SEC is too hard for Kentucky now
Could have had Pearl lined up, the the “greatest AD of our lifetime” had better plans.
I can not even begin to describe how much I HATE watching this bullsh$t!!! I don’t give a damn if we come back even, I just want this nightmare pope debacle to end!!! TONIGHT!
I would sign a petition to fire him if it would help at this point. Loyalty for playing 25+ years ago doesn’t erase this pathetic display.
Pope should resign tonight that is his assignment for the good of UK Basketball.
Guys until a new coach is brought in, we’re screwed. It was a dud hire and almost all of us saw it the night it was reported. Mark is doing the exact same things he’s done for his 10 year career. Winning a few and sucking the rest.
To make you feel even worse, take a look at his recruiting.
He’s done.

Amazing how people give up on something they claim they love so quickly. But I’m sure blaming the coach is easier when players are flat out missing open threes and constant foul shots.
This is embarrassing with no end in sight.
By far the worst sports takes of them all. “He can’t make shots for them”.
wtf are you drinking sir? He recruited ALL of these players who “can’t hit open threes”. This is HIS team. Any coach that’s ever been fired can say “I can’t pass and shoot for them”. Every single one. So nobody gets fired ever? Because they can’t get out there and do their job for them?
Do you see how ridiculous you sound?
Well guess what?? pope recruited this mess of a team, so HE is responsible!
Look dude, if you can’t see it by now???? No one can help you. I LOVE UK BASKETBALL AND I SURE AS HELL KNOW WHEN ITS BEING DISGRACED!!! THATS PRECISELY WHATS HAPPENING WITH POPE!
You realize UK is permanently down 2 key players? Yes, fire pope.
This was inevitable. Look at the teams we beat during this 5 game win streak. All but maybe one are at the bottom of the SEC.
Then what? Roll with another coach and possibly end up no better? What’s the point?
ARE YOU REALLY GONNA EXCUSE THIS ****??? Vandy is missing their 2nd leading scorer too! Every team plays through injuries! You can’t be serious??You realize UK is permanently down 2 key players? Yes, fire pope.
Vanderbilt is everything Kentucky wishes they were. I have witnessed 4 of the top 10 worst halves of Kentucky basketball this season. This team doesn’t pass the eye test. Pope’s coaching doesn’t pass the eye test. I guess being a bubble team is the assignment.
WELL SAID and this
is exactly why Pope has got to go! Decent coaches have been fired for far less than his despicable effort!
Pope will come back strong next year. Just wait and see.
Who hired Pope? I say we fix that first.
Soft coach ... soft team.
Wonder how apt the Crafts are to give Pope another blank check after this season? Maybe they can pull their chips in and pressure Mitch to make a change.
Unacceptable, got to put you on ignore after that one. Seriously, try to be better..
Lol, for being a 24’ UK grad, you missed the point just like the players do. Open 3 point shots not being made by players, is a player issue. Recruiting or roster makeup is coaching. Both are not mutually exclusive and both are underperforming by a wide margin. Save me your “ridiculous I sound” stance when you’re making constant excuses and complaints in previous posts.
My point is simple. You, OP and incessant people on here whining about one bad season is pathetic. Not supporting a team that supposedly you love and giving up on them is a ridiculous take. You even justify this act by saying a 5 game win streak in the SEC is a joke in previous posts. As soon as adversity hits you and most of the stupid posters on here call for a massive change. The inevitable will most likely happen, but you think a great coach will want to deal with fans such as yourself?

I’m sad. All I can say. Hope it’s over in a couple months, but seriously doubt they’ll pull the plug.
What do you mean a player issue? POPE RECRUITED THE PLAYERS WHO CANT SHOOT.
Are you this dense? Coaches are fired when they aren’t even the ones who draft lol. Coaches are fired for player performance. Who the hell thinks this nonsense? Do you look at espn every time a coach is fired and think “but he can’t score touchdowns for them? I clearly saw those receivers drop passes!!!”
Quit posting you sound more ridiculous every time you keep on. This is all on Mark Pope it’s his team he coached and recruited all of these players.
Yes Kentucky barely beat a bad ole miss team at home and a Hail Mary pass victory against a bad LSU. And this at Kentucky of all places Great job!
Good lord go away, weakest nonsense I’ve ever heard.
Lolol yes, there’s some deep ploy for Pope to get hired just to “disgrace UK basketball.” Good lord. I’m sure adversity and you don’t go well together. It’s clear you don’t love a college team if you want to see them fail so they can fire their coach in hopes it magically makes them better for the next season. But I digress
