Brea could be the next Danny Green in the league. He has the size to be great defensively.

Brea is a stone cold killer.
How do you post in this thread without in-game redass? Please advise. TIA
I'm starting to think that we might have a team that is good at basketball.

Travis Perry getting into the masonry business.
Love the easy games being easy. Get in, kick ass, take care of business, stay healthy, get out.
Kick a little tush and then it's back on the bus...
Man, we have some great pieces. Pope did an incredible job building this roster.
And the chemistry - maybe I've just gotten too accustomed to seeing a bunch of raw, unpolished, square pegs, but it's incredible how these guys have already bonded. They look like an old-school team of JRs and SRs, who have played together for several years.
It's like an Expendables movie or something. Every one of them seems like they are playing like a better version of themselves than where they came from, and they all feed off each other.
Maybe that's the REAL Kentucky Effect - when the guy orchestrating it all *really* gets it.
This team is special.

Agreed 💯. It was the equivalent of two epic thoroughbreds who know you’re not just supposed to run fast. You win or you fail. The single best played game (players, coaches, officials) I’ve ever ever watched. I know Packer bitched about the Padgett goaltend but the entire game was played at the highest level. Back to lurking.
I suspect the Pope effect will result in a positive cleansing of GYERO, as many lurkers like myself mainly posted redass comments during the games. Now if only something could be done with football…
Remember when Pope did his first interview on KSR and he mentioned the whiteboard was missing a wheel or something and it was driving him nuts? I remember thinking “that’s a kinda weird thing to bring up” but looking back on it, it makes sense
That photo is amazing. So much going on in the faces in the crowd, too. Everybody watching. Not a single person staring at their phone.
There’s people in the uppers on their feet haha
We are all Trent Noah. I mean, look at that skip! That's me! Huber giddy!
There's kicking ass and there's making Tyler Hansbrough talk you up within a month of official tipoffs. I think this Pope guy might work out.

Our head coach talked about the neuroscience of avoiding a letdown game and expressed disappointment in only getting up 25 threes in the post game press conference last night.
Literally night and day difference.

Brea is shooting 78.9% from 3 on the season 😂
You have to imagine Brea will regress to the mean at some point, which is *checks notes* 44.7%. I'll take it.
I don't know much about Andrew Carr's previous experience, but he seems to be having the time of his life. Very Mark-Pope-as-a-player-esque attitude and joy, minus a few skills. Winning will do that to a fella, I suppose.

I'm still pissed, so I'm enjoying all of this
Ford was solid last night on the game. I thought I heard him a couple times about to say “we” then quickly said Kentucky when referring to the team. Ha
That Chandler save and dunk from Williams brought back some old memories of Roger Harden diving on the floor for a loose ball and throwing it back over his head past half court to Kenny Walker for a dunk one time. /old
The Gonzaga game is gonna be a doozy. 🔥

The players are playing well because:
1). They play free within the framework of the coaching concepts.
2). there are actual coaching concepts
3). They are seasoned vets who were never anointed or coddled. Klutchless.
4). Bench coaches/assistants… These guys contribute to the tenor and selflessness. UPGRADE. you can see the current staff taking some HC positions in the future… unlike the former coaching tree totem pole of Chin, Bruiser, ENg.
It will be interesting to see how the culture morphs when we start integrating NIL/5* dudes into the mix.

That was hard to listen to. Tyler Hansbrough sounds like Daniel Tiger post puberty. Clear your throat, bruh.
Tyler's unc degree is worthless.
-What a pep in my step with UKMB playing well. It's not just winning but atheistically pleasing basketball. Not being scolded for being a lifelong fanatic and being upset by early season bullshit loses. Not avoiding social media, sportscenter, catpaw, or anything to do with sports in general. Complete 180 from the last 5 + years.
-The 68 guys made a point. I agree to an extent but I disagree more. "Their ceiling is a bit limited, but their floor is low.... more advance because of their experience... ready to compete because of their age." He goes on to clarify he struggles with this. The only problem with that logic, I don't think any team with more than 6 incoming transfers last season made ANY noise. We had 13 incoming. None of these guys have played together more than the 4 games this season. I love our bandwidth.
-One thing I was wrong about, our athleticism. Sure, it's not 2017 UK, but we have plenty. Williams, Robinson, Oweh and Butler are great.
-2nd team worries me the most. Foul trouble with Butler or Williams will present issues.
-Brea 🤣
-The refreshing vibe around everything UKMB is just amazing. Wish I could bottle it up.
