I could excuse a lot of this and I still can since it’s the first game of the season and I know we will improve. But my main issue is that we run like no plays. I keep hearing pope is an “xs and os” coach. I don’t see anything at all. I see a lot of dribbling and not much else.

Might be Mark Pope's best team at Kentucky, true, but it might also be his worst. It's not really much different construction wise from his others.

I think that's the catch this year. Either it's his best team and he builds it and wins or it fails and we move on.

Can someone explain the offensive system we run.. This looks the same as Cals, just go play ball... How can other teams constantly get a player open for 3.... And we can't get our best shooter open.

We can’t stop a drive from a 5’7” unathletic white guy. Every team Pope has had cannot stop the ball. It has to be the way he coaches defense.

Mom not even touching the ball, too many selfish players
We are keeping the offense vanilla, we don’t want teams to know how to stop him from getting by the ball.Williams comes in and at least it resembles basketball. Give me Williams, Mom, McBride, Wilkins, and Moreno. We are very fortunate to have lucked into Mason Williams that’s all I can say.
