I think two things can be right at the same time. The refs were suspect, especially in the second half. And Florida is the better team that beats us probably 7/10 times on a neutral court.

Gonna be a lot of moral victories with Pope. I’m not into it.

He’s got next season to get the job done, the actual job, without excuses. Return Kentucky to national elite levels. Back to unranked too.
There's something you should come to terms with...Pope won't be on any "hot seat" next season. Mitch hired him. Pope did a fine job last season. He is doing a heck of a coaching job this season. I am sure MB sees it that way too. We night add a GM for recruiting, but I doubt it. Pope will be here a long time either way.

Or what? You are gonna fire him? No one knows how this season is gonna end. Could end in the 1st round or they could make a crazy run to the F4.

Matt Jones LMAO
Whatever you say man. Did Matt Jones hire him? Matt Jones had Cal on the hot seat for 4 years...and if Cal hadn't stepped away, he would still be here. Mitch isn't firing Pope if he believes he is doing a good job, and rational fans realize he is doing just that

Barney will keep Pope here forever. I agree with cowboy there. We will wake up and it will be 2030 and no final four still.
