Lmfao absolutely PATHETIC by Aberdeen.

Today is a win win situation. Either we win or the season ends in horrible fashion and we have more ammunition to fire Pope! I’m fine with either outcome.

It'saDoneDeal · Mar 20, 2026

Stunned we’re losing at halftime. Never saw this coming….

Twindaddy2003+1 · Mar 20, 2026

Looks like 20 minutes left before the season is over.....smdh

Pope getting in defensive stance on the sideline like a jackass

Looks like Bill Curry on the sideline during our loss to Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium in the snow.

WHY NOT CALL A TIMEOUT?! To set up a play!

warrior-cat · Mar 20, 2026

Oh, and by the way, Where is JQ? Say a lot of post about... never mind.

four_every_hour · Mar 20, 2026

I can’t believe we hired pope. Colossal mistake.

Zuma75 · Mar 20, 2026

This game was never gonna be anything but ugly. I still figure they'll find a way.

cat tat2 · Mar 20, 2026

Pope getting guys minutes in a NCAA Tournament game. Making memories.

lol I can’t wait for these bums to all be gone for good. Never hated a Kentucky team more than I do this one

they'll be replaced by even bummier bums

Monday Nitro · Mar 20, 2026

So we get to watch The University of Oweh in the 2nd half. Hope he's on.

ifer1116 · Mar 20, 2026

I thought Pope said the team would play much better than against Florida? Not so far.

Catfan2010 · Mar 20, 2026

Zebras getting involved- 4 straight fouls on us.

MonsterMash79 · Mar 20, 2026

UKs got some dumbass players lol…

The_Answer1313_rivals · Mar 20, 2026

Remember when Pope said we'd see a different team come March?

LOL yeah bout that....

TreyzAllDay · Mar 20, 2026

This team and this entire program suck *** rn. What a damn shame.

Unfortunately you have people that blame this on injuries.

IowaCityLit · Mar 20, 2026

Iowa State is gonna beat the winner of this game by 50 points.

He is who he is!

He's simply not good enough for UK!!!

He is a back-up role player ... not a PTP type of player.

BlueKnight2011 · Mar 20, 2026

Held them to 35% from the field and they still lead at halftime lmao. And they’re out rebounding us. Pitiful.

TreyzAllDay · Mar 20, 2026

Pope has single handily turned us into a damn joke

Kantucke_rivals · Mar 20, 2026

I honestly cannot believe this, being out coached by Santa Clara

HenryMuto · Mar 20, 2026

Good thing they are only 4/15 from 3 or we would be down big

Jp1542 · Mar 20, 2026

Did the on court announcer just asked what SC had to do to get the upset? Would he really consider that an upset?

Our last two turnovers pretty much sum up the entire year.

what an awful passing team.

it’s the main reason we can’t ever build a lead.

Yep! And somehow people think we’re better without Lowe. An actual PG and best passer we had. It’s an ignorant opinion.

Up three when their best player went to the bench, now we are losing. Garbage.

Santa Clara is not a trash team like most on board today thinks. It will take a better than average effort for us to win today. Shows how far our program has fallen with Pope.

Cats_2010 · Mar 20, 2026

This team is a reflection of the coach, just piss poor. There is zero hope or enthusiasm in this program. I don’t care if we end up winning this game by 20, it doesn’t change anything. Pope Does not belong on our sidelines. Show some damn fire, get in players grills. Just standing with hands on hips and squinting isn’t coaching.

UK67KU59 · Mar 20, 2026

I’d rather not watch another half of basketball like that, but I guess I’ll force myself to watch the second half so I can appreciate when our program is good again

*Fox2Monk* · Mar 20, 2026

Pope is slightly better than Kenny Payne as a head coach.

HenryMuto · Mar 20, 2026

We have only shot 3 FT's and only made 1

dnorman0301 · Mar 20, 2026

Please lose this game and end this god forsaken season.

You support Pope being here, please stfu

Farsight Clone · Mar 20, 2026

I agree with Matt here. Why are we not going to going inside shows Pope is clueless. He just doesn't have it as a coach. His tenure as a basketball coach proves that.

Don't feed the troll. He wants you to respond.

Nobody is even close to being that bad.

Kantucke_rivals · Mar 20, 2026

Why are we continuing to Chuck up three-pointers WTF

spincr4hire72 · Mar 20, 2026

Pathetic display. Unprepared team.

HenryMuto · Mar 20, 2026
