This is our concern, Dude…

Literally had no clue who Davion Mintz was. Apparently he played here
Listening to Pope’s press conference does not give me a lot of confidence he has any answers for the soft as Charmin defense. Even with Butler the defense was a big problem.
We don’t have the Jimmys and Joes. It’s just what it is. He cobbled this together in a month. We’ll be fine, but man this one stings.
Yep, our horse was high enough to KILL most people from the fall.
Still though; it doesn’t taint what this team has done so far.

Well if you don’t want any part of a team we have ragged on all year and a coach we are happy left then that’s great.
Come March in Nashville I’m all for a rematch.
Pope lost that game and got away from some very easy adjustments that he should have gone with. He also got tied up in trying anything defensively at the cost of offense, except Noah who earned some damn playing time tonight.
I’ve seen Cal lose to too many teams less athletic than his to give a damn about that so yea I’m banking on everything that needed to go wrong not 100% going wrong again.

Good Twitter can rag on the Mavs instead of us.
I can’t believe what I just watched. Our big man is doing post moves and pounding the ball into the paint all night trying to score tough 2s, while the opposing team is raining uncontested 3s on the other side. It’s like we have our old coach back.
AD and Kyrie are the posterchildren for load management. Paper mache brothers… good luck with that.
That was an all timer awful loss - and without butler, kriisa, or Carr a lot of joy from this season is waning
That could have easily gone a whole different direction after “of” 😂.
Butler or not, get the defense fixed. It’s mostly effort and will and right now we don’t have it on that end.
Giving up 89 AT HOME to that team (take out the calipari aspect) is embarrassing. It wasn’t like Ark had one big run either… they scored at will all damn night.
They shouldn’t be sad they lost, they should be embarrassed.
We can’t keep relying on “all worldly” offense to win. We played good enough (minus the to’s) on offense to win at home.

I feel like I've been bragging about how much smarter the new guy is than the old one (or really anybody) and they finally meet and during the conversation you find out for the first time that the new one can't pronounce "Massachusetts", " aluminum " , or "cinnamon" correctly to save their life. It's not the end of the world but it's humiliating.
- This team was built for November
-- I swore I wouldn't judge Pope on this season and I won't but in last night's game alone he came off as a buffoon
--- meh

Loss sucks beyond words, but I’m still 100% all in and happy to be where we are as a program. Thought Williams played his best game of the year, and I hope we continue to see it moving forward.
I understand Chandler playing last night because he was one of the few attempting to play defense, but someone at UK needs to get that guy a sports psychologist. He’s absolutely terrified on the offense end.
Noah not playing a second made absolutely no sense to me. None
It sure would be nice to have this team at full strength come March.
Load up on Texas Wednesday.

Our top two PGs (one of which is our best defender) are out. The rest of the team is made up of Oweh, Garrison, grad transfers who aren't good enough for the NBA, and unathletic freshman. We just beat UT at their place. I'm cutting Pope some slack here.
I don’t know why but this stings like a tournament loss. I mean I’m legit still pissed and sad and in a bad mood. I mean I don’t know how we’re going to do anything without Butler who is absolutely our most important player. Blahhh
I'll say this, 2012 was the most expensive national championship UK has ever won. We're still paying for it.
If Cal had hung 2 or 3+, as he should have, it wouldn't be so embarrassing for him to come back and kick our ass.

That was Cal's Super Bowl too. We'll be all right. I'm confident that Pope is a man who learns from his mistakes. He's learning a lot this year, especially how he needs to approach this league. We do need to get healthy though, and right quick!
