Our current program seems to think otherwise...
I thought exhibitions didn't matter?

Its just basic marketing and PR. Its their job to be rah rah
Funny, you say Rah Rah, but its a true statement of fact
That is the official Kentucky Men's Basketball social media account bragging about exhibition wins.
We have to take the good when we can find it nowadays.
I know we are all losing faith in Pope, but we may as well let the season play out.
I think he is fine with play calls and analytics, we just lack intensitiy.
Maybe with Mo Williams on the sidelines he can help that.
We are going to be long, and have guys that can get a bucket whenever we need one. It is a team built more for march imo, not saying we will go far - but it is the simple truth.

Did the “the official Kentucky Men's Basketball social media account” originally say exhibitions didn’t count?
I usually do not like anything Jimmy Dykes has to say. I think he is a blow hard with his violent cuts crap and all. But during Wednesday's game he pointed out last year that Michigan lost an exhibition game 100-98 last year to a team that missed making the NCAA tourney and Michigan ended up winning the Natty. What else has to be said about exhibition games.
I'm saying, to all those people who said "exhibitions don't matter" our current staff/program doesn't agree. And for the program to be bragging about exhibitions games when Pope hasn't won anything is a pretty good indicator of where we are with this.
They don't matter.....unless they lose or don't look very impressive winning. 
I agree with you but when the team doesn't play stellar in one of these games. The doomers and gloomers come out of the woodwork and I'll determined that the season is lost
Upsets happen all the time in college basketball beit exhibition or regular season games.
It doesn't make it meaningless.......it's just one game tho.
Exhibitions don’t matter unless there’s some moments when new guys look new.
If a bunch of new guys look new, freshmen look great, and you go 3-0…they don’t matter.

You just haven’t fully come to terms with the power this board bestows on you yet.
Their job is giving opposing fanbases easy material to clown on and say how far Kentucky has fallen?
I couldn't care less about opposing fans. I dont interact with any n real life and the ones on here I ignore.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to either get too excited or disappointed in exhibitions. You never know what coaches are actually working on or trying to find out about their teams. It is nice that we won all 3. Maybe it’s a small positive since nobody else did, but take them for what they are. I saw a lot of positives as well as a few negatives with regard to our team. The length on the floor defensively is something to get excited about. The ceiling of this group seems to be quite high. We just need Diallo to get the spider webs out of his brain and just play, and he can. Quit thinking and just play. Once Kam comes back, we are going to have some very interesting lineups we can throw out there. When these guys start truly gelling, who’s gonna stop our offense?
Meanwhile, all those who are trashing the team, Pope, and everything else before we play a SINGLE game should just not watch and go play pickleball or something. Wallow in your misery alone. I know we’ve had some questionable effort at times (hopefully that gets fixed) but just remember that MP has done what COW couldn’t his last 5-6 years here, all the while being decimated with injury. I think we have some coaches and staff personnel added that will make this a formidable program sooner than later.

Why in the world would you post that. It's just more ammo for opposing fans. We are already the butt of every CBB joke let's not throw them alley oops.
Lmao me thinks there’s a ton of trolls here that are fans of rival teams. That’s just me….
Exactly. That is the reason I quit responding to a lot of the basketball posts. Just trying to stir the pot
You think the Kentucky Hoosiers are final four bound? Especially after those big 3 wins!
If you're someone triggered by this tweet, you should maybe re-evaluate your outlook on life.
They don’t matter, but gives us an idea of the team. I don’t think this team is terrible but we’re also far from a top 10 team.
wait to we lose a game these whiners and flamethrowers will be out in full force if you think it's bad now . However when we win a big game they want be found never ending cycle .
Yea but I didn't ask what you care about..? I asked what our PR/marketing department is doing
This. You cant put too much stock into the outcomes but its quite obvious we just don't have the pieces to make any noise.
None of the games looked like we had any sort of physical/talent superiority at all. That's why everyone is rightly concerned.
