Kentucky vs Gonzaga Game Thread.

[3 Putts]

Tony Bennet at least won a title. Maybe Pope can join Butch Jones in being champions of life.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

It really does have to be part turmoil.. NIL related or something screwing someone's GF was true.

Because you don't beat low majors by 50 and then look this bad a week later. There has to be some serious chemistry issues going in to the point that players are completely uninterested.

 

[Drogon]

I can stomach getting beat. I cant stomach stupid lazy basketball.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

This team couldn't score in a wh*rehouse with $100 bills taped to them.

 

[KyLegacyBBN]

just zero care in this team and why should they care… they all got paid!

 

[JesusCal92]

Worse ??? Look around you Ellen! How can it get worse? We’re at the threshold of hell!!!

 

[RunninRichie]

BJ Boston would be the best player on this team. Devin Askew would seriously compete for a starting spot.

 

[Tri-Countycat]

We’d be fine if Mo was in

 

[kyjeff1]

I seriously think we are the worst power 5 team in the country and I'm not just saying that to be hateful, we legit might be the worst.

And no, I am still glad Cal is gone.

"If Kentucky can get it to 10 within halftime, it would be a HUGE win for them". -- An actual commentator commenting on a University of Kentucky MBB game.

 

[anon1777473514]

Knew this was going to be an impossible matchup but damn —— this is just sad.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Popes seat would be hot if he was the head coach at Transylvania coaching like this.

 

[true-blue1]

This is an example of poorly constructed roster.

 

[ala_kat2]

Chandler won’t shoot unless he’s got like 10 feet of space - wtf???

He’s not a jump shooter - more of a set shooter

 

[20MRoster]

Jeff, you've been overstated about how much you hated Cal, I don't think any of these morons can accuse you of that.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

I wanted Pope to work but out but it's time to bite the bullet.

 

[Ukwazoo3]

I think we will get this under 10 before the end of the half.

I'll be shocked. They have so much to fix

 

[Cbbcrazy2]

I think we will get this under 10 before the end of the half.

Thank you, I needed a laugh.

 

[KyCPA2000]

I still can't believe that this team is ranked in the top 25. I know that will change soon, but can anyone in America honestly say they didn’t see this coming? Unreal

 

[20MRoster]

He’s not a jump shooter - more of a set shooter

Whatever he is, he's the only person on this team worth playing at this point.

 

[JohnnyGreen]

I am encouraged by the fight in the last few minutes.

 

[MychalG]

We are about some none shooting MF'ers. Good Lord..Can't rebound, can't defend..actually we can't do a damn thing on the court. The melt down continues. Is this the death of UK BB? Is Pope the answer or is he a fraud?

 

[JHannibalSmith]

Bad combination with the staff we have.

The roster construction this year was really baffling to me. How do you neglect shooters & PGs (ball handlers) when your entire system is based around perimeter shooting & ball movement?! No excuse for entering the season with one legit PG. Especially, coming off a season with a perpetually injured PG that seriously limited last year’s ceiling. He went overboard on defense/athleticism, yet we still suck in both regards.

 

[TortElvisII]

Go Chandler, Noah, BG , Oweh, Lowe

 

[RunninRichie]

This is all Mitch Barnhart’s fault and doing.

 

[ala_kat2]

Jelevich has had 4 (FOUR) wide open looks from three and missed them all. I thought he was at least a 30% 3/pt shooter.

 

[Zuma75]

Pope has been saying that some guys aren’t following the script … seems like now it’s got the whole team hesitant and overthinking.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Pope is demonstrating BCG ability in evaluating talent.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

This is worse than the covid year.

 

[Farsight Clone]

So we are supposed to have these things:

1) Offensive Savant in Cody Freuger. Terrible.

2) Alvin Brooks from Baylor who recruited well there. Terrible.

3) Pope was suppose to be the X & O guy that Cal wasn't. This is false.

 

[true-blue1]

No fight at all!

 

[kfwa]

I do hate that his wife and daughters are there for the booing.

I'm sure they knew it would happen tonight and they chose to support Pope, so I can respect that.

 

[blackcat714]

Bench jelly he is turrribull.

Problem is whoever comes in shoots just as bad

 

[RunninRichie]

Also don’t look now, but vanderbilt is really good this year. As it stands. UK might be the worst team in the SEC.

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

Live by the three die by the three

 

[Supafuzz75]

6/40 fg for UK going back to last game

 

[Anon1628387640]

one brick after another

 

[KyCPA2000]

Year 3 under Pope had better be a top team or there will be a new coach in year 4. I really hope he turns it around but this year is just going to suck.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

The Cal haters probably shouldnt bring him up tonight. Don't think this is the sort of performance that you should be comparing even Cals worst years to this..

But have at it I guess lmfao.

Im kind of hoping he tweets about it tonight. Would be funny.

 

[3 Putts]

We’ve apparently decided to not run an offense, when we try there’s no movement. Just pure laziness man, sad as hell.
