The post is our achilles heel and has been all season. Mo struggles to score. Garrison just struggles. MM is just inconsistent and wilts under pressure. I knew we were in trouble extremely early on when their big guy caused MM to turn the ball over. I kept thinking that I wish we had Cyril here now. He had his way in the paint.
Pope blaming players tonight
- Thread starter wccat
- Start date
I find him more annoying than likable.
Glad I decided to go to sleep at half time. Georgia turned up their defense and we folded like lawn chairs
The scary part is that we aren't really that good of a shooting team. We will probably come back to reality soon in terms of 3pt shooting . Really needed to win this game while we are hot from the 3 point line
To be fair, he's correct. You'd have to be blind to not see it. BG, Chandler, JJ and more got burned because they didn't guard their man. And then you have Oweh trying to get his and dribbling the ball off his leg. He had what 3 or 4 careless turnovers. The passing was awful.
University of Whoever the Current Coach is.
Again...on his "horrendous substitutions"..if you have 4 good players, 1 pretty good player, a couple of below average players and a couple of scrubs, what exactly can you do when you sub that doesn't bring us down?
Completely out hustled by Georgia all night. A couple of guys showed up to play but the majority looked like they were just going through the motions.
100% think he will be here. I’m not confident on the heck of a season part. But I’ll have to strong arm you for your umbrella.
Just had to say that for the anon offended that I joked about strong arming Mitch and making him step down. I’m also a cardinal for wanting the worst AD in the country to quit.
Well I know several here that will ride them 10-12 years out.
After year 15 of 12-15 losses they will be saying he needs time.
This right here, folks! UK doesn’t look like it belongs in the same universe as these teams anymore
Exactly! He tries to be so likable, that it becomes annoying
It’s almost like the majority of his players feels the same way…Oh, wait…
Cant make a roster up of role players and win. Even Jordan needed help.
Our bench is basically non-existent. Injuries have made us a short rotation, Pope needs to play it as such.
If the AD doesn't go, we will get Drew or Pope 2.0...which sets us back even further.
I do think Pope will bring in a great portal class. I really do. And I think Chandler and Moreno will be outstanding next season, and Lowe, Kam and Jasper will all be much improved. I have high hopes
You live in fantasy land, there is no " we" when it comes to a coach decision there is only Barnhart. Honestly what do you think he will do. Not what he ought to do, but what he will do.
I hope this is right. But I just don't feel that rosey right now with Pope leading the way. Next year if this continues then it's a whole different conversation imo.
end of year
If that is all you got , I guess you go with it. We have injured players, use it until the season is over, if that helps. You can also use the referees beat us as well..That one always works. Point, we should have won last night. We had the better team. We had the biggest team. WE have more skill players. Once again though, we were outcoached and out worked. Our offensive strategy was to do whatever the hell Oweh, Aberdeen and Chandler felt like doing. I didnt see an offense, I saw individuals working independently. If Johnson could score consistently, he would have taken over the offense. This team is better than Georgia and, its not close.
I really don't think it's that funny. Go back and look at all the losses and see if you agree with his substitution patterns. When we get in game rhythms he makes stupid substitutions. We were up 8-9 and looked to be in total control of the game and Pope couldn't help himself! Even the announcers questioned his substitutions, but yet you're the only one that doesn't understand it for some reason.
yeah, because letting players run the program is really paying dividends in recruiting?
People who say stuff like this are ridiculous. You are not a bigger fan nor a better fan than anyone else on here. Get off your high horse.
This is going to shock you, but Pope subbed a lot. When he did the game went sideways. Oh yeah, UGA "uncharacteristically" made a lot of 3s (weird how that happens every single game) and the refs screwed us (probably, but not really).
Well played. That got a good laugh out of me. I see what you did there.
Pope's fault for counting on JQ, if in fact he did.
A lot of teams have injuries that equate to the Lowe/Kam losses. Most of the time those coaches are sharp enough to shorten their lineups. For whatever reason, Pope doesn't. He chooses to play JJ, Noah, and BG the amount of minutes he does. That's on him.
Accurate. Mo can't score. Moreno and Jelavich can't defend. Garrison can't do either.
Not beating a meh team like UGA at home with those shooting stats is super concerning.
Has to learn not to play bad combos together. At least two of JJ, Noah, and Jelavich were on the floor together A LOT last night. That can't happen. None of the three are very good and they certainly aren't good when they're all playing together. Throw Garrison with them and that's a horrendously awful defensive group, that if we're being honest, isn't really any good offensively either. Just can't play them together.
I get that...but Oweh, DA and Chandler sat a total of 14 minutes combined. Less than 5 min each on average. There is only so much you can do to hide guys
