Apparently, his boys are not plague by fatigue….impressed how they played Bama.


he even said that fatigue is overrated, that all this guys play AAU and they are ready to play.

Also, he empowered Travis Perry. He played him a lot. Perry is still 6’1 but plays basketball the right way, bumps players, stays in front of the ball, rebounds, makes shots, communicates, boxes out….

sorry to say this, I think it makes huge difference to have a coach and not a goofy guy overpaid and acting like a mascot.

Ole Miss was not afraid of Bama…

I think Beard is using Perry as his coach on the floor. Perry seems to be the one giving instructions during dead balls. Pope has to figure out how to instill some toughness and sense of urgency in his guys. That being said, Ole Miss was 15th in the league. They’re not very good and beat a couple of pretty flawed teams.

Perry just had like 15 pts last night and some other nice stats. He's actually being developed.

Beard's past issues are preventing him from getting the players he likes most, but at least he is still showing he can actually develop players.
If you say so - and if you can’t see this UK team isn’t better than it was 4 months ago - there really is no hope for you

He missed his best players on and off. Yes record not great but cannot deny that he got his boys to play tough and the right way including Perry.

Also it makes a difference to peak at tournament time. How many wins does Pope has against Oates in 2 years…. Beard won against Oates with much less NIL at his disposal. Just facts…

Or was it missed the NCAA tourney??
Pope missed the NCAA tourny plenty of times in his career. The poster you quoted may be referring to the fact that ole miss is advancing to the semi finals and maybe thats something pope has never done. Yes we hired a coach that had never won his conference, nor his conference tournament... and possibly never even the semi finals which I haven't looked up so I could be wrong.

Beard is one of a dozen plus coaches that would have been a better hire than Pope. He beats women though so barney wouldn't consider him.

I’ve watched a few ole Miss games and it’s no wonder why Perry left. Beard gave him the green light, so TP gets up plenty of shots and gets to play through turnovers and bad defense.
Beard is so out of Popes league it’s not even a conversation. I hate saying it but pope is a bottom 2 or 3 coach in he SEC. Sometimes he’s the worst it’s just the other 2 havent gotten 20+ million in a few seasons to buy some guys. Pope might be the worst in the league lbs for lbs. probably is.

Every time I say something like that which is a lot, I’m 100% shocked every single time that he’s our coach.

Beard is at Ole Miss, one of the worst programs and worst NIL’s in the power 5. Ole Miss does little to nothing for basketball. He’s gotten as far as pope with Kentucky. It’s astounding. Of course beard can’t kill it at ole miss yearly my God it’s ole miss lol. Perry’s dad is a coach, he saw quickly Mark isn’t the guy to play for. IMO.

We we don’t suck as bad as Ole Miss sucks.

He hasn’t made the semi finals that’s fair but we
Aren’t the same. I’ll use your words…. We do not suck, saying that without looking at the full context of the season and just expecting UK to be dominate no matter what is why I can’t stand this board now. I do love Pope as a person, but I have always said he needs to do better, however, he has done better with the circumstances he has had than he gets credit for. It’s not where we want to be, but it’s not near as bad as fans make and I’d even say we arent the program fans think we are, so I don’t understand the reactions. I know, I know I’m excepting mediocrity. No, I’m excepting some reality. We are 6th in wins since 2000 with one title. This year was the first year we’d won more than one sec tourney game in 5 or 6 years. The irrationality and entitlement not to mention the low levels fans take it too is bizarre

What kind of absolute bullsht is this nonsense. Listen to you, in your attempt to prop up this bad coach, tear down your program. This is what I’m talking about. This country is full of this cult like BS instead kf supporting the institution. It’s everywhere now. And it’s pure bullsht.

What do you mean since 2’000? Did basketball start in 2,000? What’s special about that date? You picked it and added up what we are since 2,000 to make the program look worse so Mark looks better. Let me help you because that cherry picked bullsht ain’t working here buddy. You ever heard of the logical fallacy called the fallacy of incomplete evidence? You just lost your position immediately in any debate.

Let’s start in 1996 instead of 2,000 48 months earlier. I’ll cherry pick this time. and now we’ve got 3 titles and 4 championship games and the number 1 winning percentage in the game. Ooo see that worked out for ya?

How about this. Mark is sucking at the all time wins leader, 8 national championships (actually more), and the vast majority leader and winning percentage leader (which is the proper metric) of all statistical categories in NCAA history. And he’s doing it in blowout fashion, currently the worst coach in some ways we’ve ever had.

That post was so fos I don’t even know how you typed it without deleting the entire thing. What kind of person even wants to prop him up? The guy is an absolute embarrassment do you get around? Kentucky is being mocked from media to social media. But no thanks on the logical fallacy I’ll stick to reality.

He picked 2000 to show where we are just this century. It's trending down
