He's sparring with people on X, saying Pope disrespected Sendek, who recruited him to UK, that UK is a blue blood and should act like it. Just a garbage take.
Aberdeen's dunk at the end was "bush league" according to Tim Brando

Sounds like sour grapes because everyone's favorite upset didn't happen. I was thinking Aberdeen should have ran the clock out but it was a closely contested game and in the moment it's exciting to cement the win for the Cats!
It was a nonsensical take from Brando. Game wasn’t over and we were only up 5.
Pull that back out and you could turn it over. You could get fouled and miss free throws.
Stretching it to 3 possessions is completely fine there.

Interestingly, Tony Delk hit a layup with 2.5 seconds left with a 7 point vs Syracuse in the 1996 title game.
Pitino’s teams used to score in the final seconds with giant leads often. We were only up 5. Two threes still beats you.
This has only been offensive in the last 20 years or so.
Brando can stick it.

It was still a two possession game at that point and free throws are never a guarantee.
Brando is also from Louisiana and used to do LSU games. Like I've said these SEC pricks are always bitter and never pull for UK.

He probably should’ve just dribbled the clock out, but this seems like a silly thing for Brando to make an issue of.
I’ve never understood this type of take. If you don’t want to get scored on, play some defense and stop them. Not Aberdeen or Popes job to worry about the other teams feelings.
It also wasn’t a 20 pt blow out, it was the end of overtime.

What a dumb take! There was a chance, although small, we could possibly blow it. It completely iced it after that.
It’s Kentucky. We’re always a story. We always move the needle.
TB is washed up and has been for a while.
It was 3 points before that dunk. You get the nail in the coffin and you take it. Tim Brando has too much time on his hands. Smart guy, but that is a worthless take to make. If a team was up double digits and slammed the exclamation, it’s bad form. Taking a 3 point game to 5 is security.
It was the right decision. You score to go up 7.
Bush league? After that regulation finish, you play to the end. Leave no door open for the other team
In 1976 Brando was a disc jockey at radio station KROK-FM in his native Shreveport, Louisiana. From 1981 to 1986, Brando was the assistant sports director at WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge; he did telecasts of Louisiana State University men's and women's basketball[1] on Tigervision.
Yeah that’s where I was going next. Line was -2.5 to -3.5.
If you bet Santa Clara, you are hoping for quick foul, missed free throws, and a meaningless make at the buzzer.
Brando might be telling on himself.
I mean a 5 point lead isn't over by a long shot. Crazier things have happened and with this team it's not a sure thing until the clock hits zero. Sour grapes mainly cause he didn't get the upset he wanted.
Did she say anything about bama kid shooting a 3 when up 17 on Hofstra last night??? It was the bench guys but still, you’re up 17 and that’s more bush league than a dunk up 5 at the end of the game. Someone should ask her what her take is on that???

Or the Bama guy dealing drugs?
I will never understand these losers that think just because someone was here in 90s we should bow down and kiss their feet. It's a sport. The goal is to win, ESPECIALLY in the NCAAT. If these folks don't like that, maybe they have picked different careers or get different hobbies.
Right, I thought we played until the final horn sounds? And in college basketball, only Kentucky gets held to this standard and must be above the fray.
Him and most national media said nothing about Auburn and the classless "BTA" display on Rupp's floor after our game last season. If anything, it was "Toughen up and win the game if you don't want them doing that!"
He also said nothing about Florida, a 1 seed and the defending national champion, dropping 114 on a completely outmatched Prairie View team. Second largest tournament win ever, up 39 at halftime, 59 at the end of the game. A man like Golden would NEVER apologize for that, and would laugh in Tim's face for even suggesting such a thing.
I'm sick of UK being shamed for crap no where close to as bad as what others get away with. F 'em!
Correct. 5 point game. If Santa Clara fouls and puts DA on the line, still a chance to cover with a DA miss and one more SC basket.
My exact point total might one point off but back in the 70's UK-Kansas in Rupp, Kansas was up I think 6 points with 6 seconds to play and Kyle Macy scored 7 points in those final seconds to pull out a win for UK.
You play till the game is over
You play till the game is over
It's been a few years but.......we were taught that the game was over when the horn blew.........win or lose you are supposed to play till the end....
Brando has always had a chip on his shoulder in re: to UK basketball.
College BB games are 40 minutes. If the coaches want to stop playing just stop the games have 39 minute games then or maybe 39 1/2 minute games. Sounds silly doesn’t it? I never understood why they started this trend. To have someone hold the ball for 30 seconds and not shoot is more insulting to me than a walk on trying to get a shot up.
These people had written our Eulogy. Everyone with a youtube channel, podcast, or microphone predicted us to lose.
Now that they're wrong--let's blame the refs. Let's criticize them for a dunk.
Alabama has players arrested for selling weed. But that Kentucky player shouldn't have gotten in an extra dunk.
Get bent. F 'em all. Kentucky vs the world. I'll be there Sunday. Hope you'll join me.

You know what Tim Brando can do right?
It wasn’t an emphatic dunk, it was very subtle.
It really pis.ses people off when we win. IDGAF what anybody thinks
He can EABOD!!!

And he hates UK and always has.
Not worried about hurting feelings, you play to the whistle. The unwritten rules in sports are usually to protect feelings, not always but mostly.
Every now and then we get a glimpse of what they really think of us.
This is one of those times. Screw ‘em.

Herbie didn't even have enough sportsmanship in him to congratulate Pope, so f.uck that cry baby MF.
And Brando is one of many, that couldn't stand to see it go down like it did. It kills them bastards to see us win, especially when for 6 seconds, they thought we were beat
It must be traumatizing to them pricks, just think if we were to beat there Cyclones, because every team we play are going to be there team, for that day.

Media is coming out in droves to defend Santa Clara’s honor against the big bad UK.
So satisfying.
