Terrible team, terrible Coach. I don't blame UK players though, they just don't belong at this level. This UK team honestly looks like a group of mid major players.

So you would keep Moreno in with 2 fouls and Ousmane in with 3? lol
Sure is a locker room problem... It's the only common denominator that came back for a 3rd year that's the locker room problem.
Mark Pope is embarrassing the brand.
Once again pope fails to recruit a backup 5 . Pope is over his head this team doesn't have adequate talent to compete with other Bluebloods. Their basketball IQ sucks and Pope has no answers to solve this problem. I hope our new AD has the balls to end this bad experiment. Screw you Mitch Barnhart you bastard.
Its almost like they have five star athletes and the number one player. We got mid majors
I'm glad I put money on Kansas! I figured if we win, I'll still be happy even if I lose some money. But I knew Stokes was going to kick our ***.... Ez money
Pope knew that. Signed him and does nothing with him. He‘s having trouble landing freshman. This is going to kill him landing portal players.
You have a pure spot up shooter and Pope refuses to have any inside outside game to kick out to him. Refuses to run screens for him.
Being mediocre and middling is worse than being bad because you can at least point out there’s a problem when we suck. I hope we come back . I prefer winning
I already said earlier I hate we have one too but thanks for your concern
Everyone should’ve known that a Mitch Barnhart hire was never going to work out. Once you heard that his Mormon buddy, Marc Hill “convinced” him to take fellow Mormon, Mark Pope should’ve been all too obvious we were going to get ratf*cked.
Watching this game I'm coming to terms with the fact that Kepnang is basically the Eloy Vargas to Moreno's AD. Except he also has a long injury history, and the idea of relying on Reece Potter in important games makes me... nervous.
On a positive note: Zoom, Wilkins, and Williams is a fun trio of guards to have. Hawthorne looks like he could develop into a difference maker. When Kam Williams is back up to full speed I hope we see him and Hawthorne get minutes next to each other.
I had continued to support Pope...not anymore. Absolutely pathetic offense, and god awful substitutions. Pat Adams took us out of this early, but if Pope could coach his way out of a wet paper bag, we still would have a chance. The inability to get Mom a single 3 attempt is one of the worst coaching jobs I've ever seen in a half for UK basketball. That includes BCG. Hell, give me BCG over this garbage. We are going to lose 15+ games this year and at this point I say GOOD. At least that will end the ridiculous Mark Pope disaster. Today is my birthday, and Pope+Adams has ruined it.
I don’t mean to be cruel with this. But Kepnang needs to hang em up. He obviously can’t move with the effects of his past injuries.
our old *** bum player had several major injuries that caused him to miss time
He had no issues scoring at Iowa St
I mean he’s the leading rebounder for our squad with 6. That’s THREE times anyone else
One would think a 7’, 265 lb man could at least rebound
Another first half data collection session. 
his agent did a great job getting him a few hundred thousand from UK after we didn't have any other options
And this bunch almost lost to UCF at home 
Sure, exhibition but so was Purdue last year.
This is a typical Pope team.
May revamp and go 12-14 losses this year. Gonna be a Looooonnnnnggggg year.

I just want something to be excited about.
Its tough to watch this.
they look like they are struggling and have no idea what to do - and its not Kansas defense that is the problem

Because they are. Momcilovic is great at only shooting. Moreno is decent. Williams is surprising. Wilkins is ok but should be a backup pg.
Everyone else is mid major level.
Jason Batt please save us. Fire Pope; let Mo Williams interim.
It's called lack of talent and fundamentals
How can Hawthorne be opened so many times and pump fake, but Milan cannot? Makes no damn mickey mouse daffy duck sense to me. Its pope folks! He simply cannot coach!
This is the same guy who thought if we had Mark Mitchell that this roster is like top 2-3 in the country lol. He doesn't know ball. At f'n all.
He did just fine for ISU last year. Have to have a coach that can actually draw up a play. This is street ball with no talent.
