Let it play out.
I saw a bunch of good stuff. And I think everybody on that floor had bball iq and multiple skills. Haven’t had a complete team like that in awhile. Plenty of depth at each spot when the 3 get back.

winning is fun. losing isnt fun. another 9, 10, 11 losses isnt a fun season. unless we are now a participation trophy type of program.

You said exhibitions show who you are. So after we smoked purdue we would’ve been considered a top 10ish team. Then when the gtown game came we wouldn’t. I say exhibitions don’t mean much. You usually don’t run much stuff and just play with rotations. You seem lost. I’m assuming you never actually played or coached ball.

Exhibition games give fans a decent first look at their new team each year. Just a preliminary look at personnel ... not much more.

the outcome of the game does matter. shot 31% from three. sub 70% from the line. blah from the PF/C spot. jasper our best player with oweh coming back from injury. no show from chandler.

guess what happened in the gtown game.....23% from three, 65% from the line, more blah from the PF/C spot. no jasper beer muscles. no show from chandler

sounds like 80% of the games last season.

A lot of people have lowered their personal standards for Kentucky basketball recently, I’ve noticed. Why? I don’t understand, especially not for Mark f*cking Pope of all people. Does the rest of the country making fun of him catalyze some sort of parental instinct within these people or what? Are they a bunch of contrarians desperately trying to prove all the “haters” wrong?

All it takes it seems like to ruin Kentucky basketball is a bunch of fans with a fetish for being made fun of by opposing fans it seems like. “It’s okway my pwecious baby boy, Popey-kins! I’ll make them like you!”

These same people were laughing at Indiana when Crean was being an absolute goober. How the tables have turned.

So one guy gets a pass but not another. Such a wild statement. So since Kam hit 8 3’a against bellarmine last year that means he’s an elite shooter and we can expect that this year from him correct? Alex will be gone after this year to the nba. He’s that good.

Wait…wut? Mom (if that’s who you’re talking about) gets a pass, if that’s what you want to call it, because he’s coming off a finger injury AND he was one of the best shooters in CBB last season AND did it against P4/5 opponents all season.

The game Kam had means nothing. I still don’t think he’s a very good shooter. Just okayish. His misses are BAD. And he’s never done it with any consistency against good teams.

Id be willing to bet you whatever you want Wilkins won’t be an NBA draft pick after this year. He averaged like 17 at freaking Furman or wherever. Had a number of stinker games against really bad teams too. Sure, he had 20-something against UConn. One game. Can he do it on a regular basis come Jan/Feb in one of the best leagues in the country? Time will tell.

Lol. Bball IQ and multiple skills? You’d damned well better have that at this level.

I’m nervous for sure. Nervous we will finish middle of the pack in the league, not get to the weekend in the SECT and not make it past the S16…again.

Will a successful season cause a mental health crisis among our fans? Will they spin out if we get to the FF and we have to (gasps) keep Pope.
Fainting couches will be in danger of damge and pearls will be crushed.
It'll be a fun watch.

All it took was one bad season to bring all the negative nancy's to the surface. The outrage doesn’t fit the situation.
All the sudden, the 24/25 season never happened, all they talk about is the losses and now we have dudes trying to say BCG was better, because "he went to a sweet 16 when he was at Texas a&m". The reaching is crazy.
If Pope made a FF this year, it wouldn't be good enough, they will still point to everything that happened in 25/26.
I get being concerned and there definitely should be some anger toward Barnhart, but I don't understand why so many are so upset at Pope that they feel the need to sling hate daily on here. The guy is giving everything he has to win, nobody can deny that.

i think pope is going to deeply regret not landing rob wright and nikola kusturica.

We were mad at Pope for overpaying for players last year, now we're mad at Pope for not overpaying for Rob Wright, who hasn't won sh*t anywhere he's been?
UK offered him the same deal BYU offered him, which is the going rate for a pg with his skills. Wright wanted a massive bag and that's what it would have taken for him to leave BYU. He wanted to be overpaid and I'm glad Pope didn’t do that.

Jesus, reading these posts in this thread after one pro day scrimmage is sobering. My gawd people, give it a rest. It’s October and dudes are already throwing in the towel and claiming the season a failure. Unreal.
