I don’t understand why more teams don’t zone Arkansas. The teams that upset us in the NCAA, like the fighting account team & Saint Peter’s beat us playing zone and Cal was like a deer in headlights against it. I fully expect Pope to try and match up man to man though. Probably another 30 point loss. For the first time this season I’m debating not watching the game

Im betting UK on money line. Of all games I think this ia the 1 good team we beat . Pope's back is agsinst tbe wall he knows how bad it will be he loses this game. You will get Popes an teams best Sat. They might not win but if were winning any big game this year Its Saturday as imo e eryone will be locked in. If money line is 400+ i will throw 50-100 on Cats. Im not getting crazy with it but I could tbrow a 100 on tbe Cats here to win as IMO its only big one all season we got a legit chance at.

This team has got to find it's pulse.

Seriously, we need to play like we want to be out there.

I agree with you. I'd zone them all day.

I actually think tomorrow's game will be way better than the Vandy game. It's pretty rare for a decent team to get blown out two games in a row.

I don't think we win but I think it will be am 8-10 point game

I just wish it was a noon game so I could shower it off early the day if it goes South. But of course ESPN wants it later for maximum eyeballs.

We don’t, I agree. But also, if it were just a down year situation, Sweet Sixteen one year followed by missing the dance the next year still would be better than what Cal delivered us his last five years. But unfortunately with all our recruiting issues it’s not looking at all like just a down year situation.

yeah last season was the outlier unfortunately.

Pope has had crap luck with injuries. He absolutely has to get a few top top recruits and Portal players.
Thats his only hope to stay at UK. And then he has to win!

Just like the Gonzaga game I will not be watching. I’ll check the halftime score and see if I need to tune in, but otherwise I’m going to enjoy my life. The Arkansas players know that Cal wants this so they will be locked in, and our team sucks complete *** so I’m expecting an absolute beating.

Newflash my dude. Things have sucked around here since 2015. It’s been a steady collapse of a great program to the point we are now the Kentucky version of Indiana basketball. You have a conservative, no chance taking Quaker running the athletic department straight into the ground. You have a head basketball coach who has no charisma, no leadership and no control over a bunch of overpaid whiners. I don’t need an asskickjng by the Hogs tomorrow to tell me anything I don’t already know. Kentucky Basketball as we knew it, is gone.

Remember when Cal was here and we used to say that all we needed to be really good was for these guys to come back another year? Now with Pope we are saying all we need to be good is for all these guys to leave haha.

The irony
You’re literally trying to compare the talent Calipari brought in to what Pope has brought in?

Basketball is not your sport.

We had good players leaving then.. We have none of those kind of players that will be back next year..

I think a lot of these "we're gonna lose by 50" clowns are trying the old reverse jinx or it's a bit of self preservation (I.e.If it happens I won't be too disappointed after all I called it). It represents the dumbest part of the fan base (there are a lot of them). This team is not that bad. It's a wonder anyone wants to play or coach here.

They finally showed an Us against the World mentality. If Im the coach I actually don't mind the chippiness if it means you're not going to let a team punk you.

Why would anyone waste time watching the game and putting yourself through that ****. If I am squid I put an absolute beatdown on him and that is what is going to happen.
I completely own this and I am very happy for the team, Pope and the fan base. I still believe he’s in way over his head and we have a few more beatdowns coming of course I hope I am wrong
