Have you seen Darius Acuff Jr? Lol
Yea the guy that’s defense is trash? You can blow by him lol. Acuff is a good player, but he’s not going to do anything in the tournament. He’s leaking oil to Missouri, losing to this Kentucky team; and barely has them top 25. Have you watched Arkansas? Without a big man Calipari has no shot with his 1985 system. I don’t think you’re very familiar with the guy at all.

But then, you said he went to an elite 8 last year so, you can’t even keep up that much.

Calipari sucks and this Arkansas team is mid. Who gives a f. It’s a poverty program at Arkansas and it’s where he belongs. Cal is just finishing his lifetime contract anyway and had to go down there. He’s done in 24 months or less. And he ain’t winning anything there.

He didn't play against Missouri!

The last couple of years of Tubby is what I feel like 2 years of Pope has been like. However, at least Tubby was starting to get some good signings by the end of his tenure and who knows, may have gone on another run. Seemed like he went in cycles a bit. But I'd kill for a coach with Tubby's x and o skills.
Tubby had WAY better recruiting chops thus far.

These are very talented players. They are not a good fit nor are they coached.

But this is not a player problem.

Even Dykes said Aberdeen is a pro. 😈
This has been obvious to most fans. Pope has let this team play pick up playground ball all year. How many side step, step back guarded 3s has JJ shot, remember when Aberdeen and Oweh has a contest on who could take the worst shots at Vandy. There has been zero discipline all year. Oweh has won us games at times but Pope has let him shoot us to defeat as well. We are so cooked.

Yeah, I thought Pope’s offense was supposed to generate good shots hand over fist. We’ve never really seen much evidence of that.

Why would you bet on that lol

Thats what you ran out town for. A certified dork!
Cal is washed. Pope won more tournament games in one year than cal did in his last 5 years here with way less talent. Pope sucks too tho, and Mitch is a retard, but the only thing cal has going for him is his recruiting. Cal is perfect fit for ark. Mid tier coach at a mid tier program. Popes gotta go tho, just like cal had to.

I’d rather be slurping Cal’s *** and dealing with his BS Calipari-isms than watching Pope sit there expressionlessly destroying our program. Cal was full of himself, but he still cared in his own way, even if he cared more about himself.
What horse apples. All these folks all of a sudden acting like the last 5 years with Cal never happened. Pope may not be the guy but Cal had t been for awhile. I read all this revisionist crap and makes me want to puke.

You must hate CAL. To trash Acuff is crazy. He is elite talent that we should have. I agree with you on most things Pope but we would be cooking with Cal and 22M right now.

Pope has killed this program. Cal lost his mojo dealing with MITCH'S crap. We should have fired MITCH, kept Cal for 2 or 3 years and used him as an ambassador for the program like Coach K. Make no mistake this is a cluster f... now!

Picking between Cal at the end of his tenure and Pope is like choosing dog crap over Cat crap. It's the same stuff. We need something else maybe with Mitch gone we will get it but I will never accept we would be better off with Cal. We are in a hole HE dug that Pope lacks the skills to get us out of. Some of you guys need to tune in to a Little House on the Prarie marathon
