I hate how Pope just stands there while we're getting our asses kicked.

Jelevic just can’t play defense. He pretty good on offense, but you can’t be a liability on D.
he has to get himself more looks. but he hardly can get open when he is face guarded. cant do anything
That's his job. Do you prefer Pope's standing on the sideline looking totally confused. No fire. No energy.
If anyone goes to Nashville to watch this team.. my condolences.
They are only smug pricks when they are pounding our ***. I am sure Rick and Cal weren't the face of humility to other teams lol
I’ve never wanted anyone to suffer in my life. Never have taken anything serious enough to wish bad on someone’s life.
Mitch Barnhart pushes my boundaries in ways that I’ve never seen. If I saw him stranded on the road and a gang of bloods walking right at him, I wouldn’t stop. Is that bad? I mean I’ve never been that type but I wouldn’t stop.

…they are exactly who PT Barnum was referring to.
Agree. Can't defend, dribble, or pass.
Break open the bank vault and hire tire golden - pay whatever he wants - may take $20 million
Imagine paying to watch this team. How are the big money people okay with this? Must be an administration thing
I was hoping our guys would play with all out effort today, but nope. When you're coach is lame and soft, the teams effort is going to he lame and soft.
My irrational thinking is Golden wants to beat our brains in so Pope gets fired and he can take the job. I would take a 50 point loss if that would happen.
I would actually take Bucky over Pope. Then again many SEC coaches that I prefer over Pope.
No team "used" to come into Rupp and manhandle UK. Pitiful.... Just pitiful...
Now you see how important is to get the right AD for the program. We've had the wrong one for a long time and I'm afraid we're going to get another one that is more focused on women's lacrosse than on making the $$$ sports competitors for titles.
A man who knows he is safe for a third year regardless.
He’s got no humility in losing either. Watch him, first UK coach other than Gillespie I’ve ever seen just do blow by after blow by. He’s an emotionally immature man, and we’ve hired this guy.
I get what you're saying, but that's emblematic of the sad state of Kentucky basketball since 2020.
Nope...silence toward Coach Pope will do the job. Too much history to boo him off the court. Nope, do not do that.
Pope is at the bottom of coaches in the conference. Might be the worst. Only reason he’s even doing this decent is because he’s got Kentucky and the recourses. Pope is likely the worst coach in the SEC. We’ve never see that.
Down 17 all game on senior day on 2026. And to think of our stellar recruiting class (sarc) and Pope coming back, next year should be a hoot.
Mitch just wanted a yes a man and that's what he got. Program be damned.
Allegedly $22 mil and 10th in conference. Definitely one of the worst.
Just look at the structure of Florida’s offense compared to UKs. It is night and day different. Pope would play Chinyelu 20 feet from the basket with his back to the basket just doing handoffs.
UKs bigs hand the ball off more than a Stoops QB.

ffs man. Kentucky fans don't deserve what has happened over the last ten years. Between outside and inside influences a once great program is in shambles with no help in sight.
Well, I thought we fought through adversity and gave beautiful resistance. Florida was just elite in transition. They're more physical on 50/50 balls but we were a 2.1 on the looks we want to get.
Look, this has been a tough stretch, but if used correctly it can forge our path. We write our own story. I'm not budging, it's winning time.
