Does anyone else think this team tonight could care less about playing? No hustle. Continuing taking unsuccessful 3s is easy than running plays or driving to the basket. Not pushing the ball up the court. I hope I’m wrong but I wonder if Pope has lost the team. They just don’t seam motivated to play.
Effort?

Just 2nite? Have you missed all the times the past 2 seasons UK has gotten down double digits at some point? That's effort. Or lack thereof.
I agree but I think it is even worse tonight which is hard to believe.
I haven’t watched but is it really empty?
That shows how far we’ve fallen if so. In the past that place was always a nuthouse when we came to town.
Nice to be able to walk away with an SEC road win while giving no effort.
Just win baby. No style points with this group but they took it in the last 3 minutes.
Well at least they showed life the last 3 mins. Good thing they were playing SC.
Sorry...my sarcasm missed the mark. Any SEC road win is a good one and it takes effort.
Don’t look like they hit the throttle until about 6:00 to go.
If everyone hustled like Mo D did tonight that’s the team that ran Purdue off the floor. We are a good team when they care. They just don’t care. That version of Mo D was exactly what I was expecting this whole season.
be a junk yard dog and be our garbage man. Make the dirty plays. Bring the energy. That’s all. Do that and I’ll be happy if he returns.
Who cares? The only thing that really matters is a win. We punched our ticket to the NCAA tournament and now it’s time to improve your seed. We are a consensus 7 seed today per BracketMatrix.
I’ve been saying… just make the tournament. Idc if we are a 16 seed: we are winning number 9 this year. We will catch magic in March.
I see a round of 32 finish. This team is very flawed, but I’m open to it for sure
Yea I’m not sunshine pumping. I understand we are terrible. I just feel the magic coming. Like NC state a couple years ago when they had the big boy down low. Hoping the whole team catches fire.
I think we would have lost to every other conference team tonight other than South Carolina
but I’ll live with it if he makes up for it with hustle lolI felt like they played hard. Oweh’s effort was suspect. Maybe he’s just fatigued. They don’t play very smart and just aren’t very talented.
They didn't seem to be mentally into game. When that happens, even if you're giving physical effort, it just doesn't translate to the court. At least that's MHO.
I wouldn’t judge you for pumping regardless. It’s good when the site has a balance of optimistic people, pessimistic people and then people in between. There’s not enough optimistic ones, so I’ll take any of those we can get
It’s not just tonight. It’s the hallmark of Pope teams.
He can’t lose what he never had.
You could give Pope an NBA roster and he would have them just going thru the motions in a month.
