If that game was say third round game lead eight game like the Patrick Sparks play that to me is exciting. I mean I was excited when he hit the shot, but I’m done with the emotion. I’m only gonna look at our Basketball program through legitimate lens until we get a new coach. A legit coach not a guy that might get lucky a guy that Who who did get lucky. I mean right now Mark luckiest man on the planet.
I've you can't enjoy a win like that for UK in the NCAA-T, then you're not a UK fan.

This is loser speak. This guy is a loser. You can change though. Go outside, get some Vitamin D, and be happy about an awesome shot and win.
Imagine being such a Debbie downer. I’m as down on this season and staff as anyone but my god man let it go enjoy the moment at least. We are still alive never know what will happen. Once we do lose, then come back and whine.

I am no Pope fan, but I’m still happy as hell. The season was a disappointment but as Jimmy V said all that matters now is SURVIVE AND ADVANCE!

Sorry for your loss

Take the rest of the season off and use that time to find a team that deserves you as a fan.

Interesting take. I’m going to go in a different direction and separate my feelings about Pope with the actual games that are being played this weekend but to each their own and I hope your approach brings you peace and happiness.
I agree with you. There's no part of me that could root for UK to lose sooner in the tournament in hopes it shortens the tenure of the coach. I can't fathom wanting to lose in March.

(Somewhat related but it is hilarious that Pope's contract gives him an extra year every time he makes the Sweet Sixteen. In my mind that should be the baseline. Maybe E8 and definitely FF are worthy of an extra year.)

This team if nothing else gave us one of the all time great shots in Kentucky history. I’m happy for Otega. He’ll always have that.
I would say this team gave us several, at least 2 memorable shots ( 3 counting the steal and layup at the end at Knoxviolle eaqrlier this year ...) this year, but that's just me.

You are getting quoted by everybody, lol, so congrats on the shock statement.

Anyway, I agree with others... enjoy the damn moment.

That said, I also thought for a second, man this pope guy has won more than a few games on some lucky ish haha. But I'll take it.

I'll never wish for a kentucky loss, even if it means we keep pope for 2 or 3 years longer than we should....thats just called being a fan.

Kind of like UNC, the lucky run to the title game with Hubert kind of ensured they were stuck with him for a while and he probably isnt the right dude but you dont trade that runner up title run in.
