Kentucky at Ole Miss Game Thread
- Thread starter onearmedjesus
- Start date
I’m telling you guys. This is who we are right now. We were a fun top 10 team when healthy, and now hapless team that might be outside the top 50. Tennessee was a miracle. You can’t count on a game like that happening often.
I hate this.
I hate this.
All of our good wins will mean jack shit if we miss the tourney. Miss the tourney and Pope's seat will get instantly warm.
Staring down the barrel of the NIT. Eerily similar to 2013. Just decimated by injuries to key players.
I guess that was predictable.
3rd in turnover %
and we are 341st in turnover % on defense
How is it Pope's fault that his players aren't willing to fight?
Season had such a fun start man, but they are spiraling out of control. Saturday is a must win, absolute must win. Pope better not have this cool guy in your friend bs.
Williams might be the worst defensive league DPOY I’ve ever seen. He must have forgotten how to play
I’m not sure you understand what a coach is supposed to do.
Because he’s the only ones who can guard anyone.
The type of D Ole Miss plays is such bullshit, they are literally in the player cylinder the entire play. Haven't gotten one call, but they give two on Carr which were barely anything. Just a can't call em all approach that officials don't have the balls to call 50 fouls on a team to make em stop.
I thought the guys "felt bad" after losing to Arkansas. Sure doesn't look like it so far.
Yeah, as small as he is Perry plays better defense than Robinson and Bres combined.
You don't have to be athletic to work your ass off in trying to get open. Brea just doesn't want to do that. I keep thinking Pope promised him something along the lines of "we run a complex offense that generates a lot of looks, you'll be open all over the court".
Can’t guard and now can’t score. Great. Haven’t seen a team this bumfuzzled since Covid year.
Pope does not have a team that is fundamentally sound. There are things they just don’t do and it has nothing to do with athleticism. The team doesn’t know how to defend from a positioning standpoint. That is 100% on Pope and he better look inward and at staff changes for next year.
It's not like other options are any better. Chandler is in the game purely because he's more athletic than almost anyone else on the team and is better on defense. Either roll the dice with him or have other guys get beat every time down the court. There's no good option right now without a PG, just like there were no good options Saturday.
Teams are an embodiment of their coach.
Please please please .. Pope needs to read the room on this guy ( at this point in his young career)
We can beat anyone with a healthy Butler and Carr and Kerr .. dont give up !!!!!!
We will be EXTREMELY LUCKY TO FINISH .500 in SEC play! Kids are not hustling at all!!! It’s like they have laid down!
