Good lord we're an entitled bunch.

[B.B.H.]

People accuse those who are realists or hyper-negative of being trolls, but it’s the dudes that post junk like OP that I think are most likely trolls. When you’re ho-hum about losses like this, you either aren’t a real fan or you’re really dense.

No, being upset about a loss is one thing. I think BBN as a whole is beyond upset. But some people…like you as the greatest example….literally do not post anything at all, other than completely trashing the coach and the players. That kind of toxicity does seem to affect teams —- BBN is both a blessing and a curse. We support like no other, traveling across the country to cheer for our squad but as soon as any imperfection appears, we begin trashing every single player to the point that it is disgusting (idk how about every single Amari Williams post you make or Kerr Kriisa for example). Blame the coach without exception, not even allowing any attempt to understand the “why” for anything. Yeah, some of it is fan behavior, some of it, frankly, isn’t.

Horrible game. If you told me we would be 10-2 going into Jan before the season, I'd gladly take that record. Let's hope Pope figures out why we are trending downward. He is smart, smart people tend to figure things out. I have faith. Plus year one of a total rebuild, I'm giving him a pass this year regardless.

Lol, takes like these are asinine. Just as bad as someone telling everyone to shut the program down. We got beat by 20 to a team that has lost by 40 and 28. If that doesn't piss you off, it's safe to say that nothing UK basketball related ever will.

Did you watch the frigging game. Ohio State simply could NOT miss. We close to six, more than once. Put up excellent defense and they make a falling away desperate 14 footer anyway. You sometimes just can’t beat that. Everyone relax!!!

My friends. Y’all need to calm down lol. Please maintain perspective. This is Pope’s FIRST YEAR. There are going to be head scratchers. Y’all have had some great wins already and will have more. Y’all will also lose more games. That’s part of it. Don’t extrapolate too much from one game. The only thing that matters is you’re CAPABLE of beating any team in the country. Takes a while for a new culture to settle in. Don’t be overly reactionary.

They got beat by 20 by a team that may be NIT bound. Shooting has been trending down. The “bigs” are soft and there are some dudes in the SEC that are going to do their best to push them around. Lack of effort in a MSG game is mind blowing.

I’m not saying the sky is falling but there are some definite issues that better get fixed quickly. The issue is, do we have the pieces to fix it?

Max effort can hide a lot of the deficiencies we are seeing. In fact I’d say max effort and killer instinct makes this a lethal team. The problem is I think a lot of these guys may be tooooo chill.
