I didn't expect to win @ Texas AM........they are a powerhouse in the SEC.
****Game Thread: Kentucky at Texas A&M****
- Thread starter UKortho
- Start date
It’s why I’ve wanted him benched a lot this season. To send a message. Pass the GD ball and stop just playing to get that SEC POY. Oweh only cares about getting his 20. He’s a cancer and has been all year. Not hard to see. Him leading a team, that team goes nowhere.
I’m almost convinced Mark doesn’t want to win basketball games.
Holy 
a 24 point swing. Up 30-18 with 8:05 to go to down 45-33.

Pope is the dumbest smart person alive.

Anyone else grabbing popcorn yet for the spin show the Pope Pumpers are about to put on?
We've got a patchwork team without a high level talent to lead when stuff goes sideways.
It's the same every other game lack of focus that we've seen all season.
Of course, coaching has nothing to do with it. Texas a&m and their 3 million total NIL roster has way more NBA talent than us. Just like Missouri, Auburn, and Georgia.
Cal coached when the SEC was garbage. Look at Cals record when the SEC actually improved
Gonna need it for Stokes as well. By the time he visits it will be up another million if we collapse and lose this game.
Pope getting schooled tonight and causing most of his own problems.
How embarrassing.
How embarrassing.
Hard to believe Pope watched that lead totally evaporate before calling TO
Again, convince me that those teams have more talent than us.
FFS Jeff, this has nothing to do with the fuking officiating. Damn. We went soft. Put the blame where it needs to be. We’re not tough and we’re not talented.
He put in bizarre lineups and refuse to call a timeout.
If I were AD I'd fire his *** tonight for that little stunt. No competent coach allows not one but TWO Killshot run.
FIre Pope. Call Lloyd or Golden.
Say what you want but Pope is getting out coached. The A&M coach has UK scouted well and when Oweh has the ball almost all five Aggies have they feet in the paint.
Lineup when everything went south?
Jasper
Chandler
Noah
Jelovic
Garrison
One this is a terrible defensive line up. Two, who the hell can create offense on this line up? They can't penetrate or run offense. we were up 30-25 and it all went downhill after this.

Mark Pope has no business being Kentucky's coach, I dont care what happens the rest of this season
He needed some extra time to get more analytics.
This is the guy that 30% of the fan base talked themselves back into supporting over the last week with our incredible two-game winning streak.
Think back to our collapse in 1984 Final Four against Georgetown, we were up at half and only scored 3 points in second half if I remember right..this is the closest thing I have seen to that collapse.
Nope. He either wins this game or his *** should resign tonight. I've never seen such coaching incompetence as I just watched.
If this were a video game, I’d sim to the next season. This team is a mess and has been all year. Refs be damned, just not a fun watch unless Chandler is making everything. Which he’s not tonight.
Being up with the starters was fools gold. A&M just couldn’t buy a bucket. They were due to not miss every shot…we just then missed every shot.
Still lots of time but I don’t like this matchup.

This is why even when we are up 12 you hear me complaining when we throw away possessions like Garrison shooting a 3 or we turn the ball over and start allowing them to come back. You just never know when you will get hit with a 27-3 run and go from what looks like a win to a potential loss.
That inbounds pass turnover easy basket for them really got them going.
I can't take this no more too frustarting.
