Kentucky vs Arkansas Game Thread

So we still playing like shit? Guessing so. Mark obviously not ready for this game? Players not prepared? Poor game plan? Have we played any zone yet? Bet not. Has Otega stopped trying to be the hero with 1 on 1 ball that doesn’t work?

The fact that Pope continues to pull Arami up high when he has DESTROYED Z down low is unbelievable. The fact that Pope did zero to adjust the D to try to stop penetration is unbelievable. The whole UT win completely undone.
I know he's in his first year, but his game-time coaching doesn't impress me often. Might be the medical schooling where scientists sit back, look at lots of data and THEN make decisions. Would explain his pretty consistent half-time adjustments.
 
Lol Cal is such a chump. He has always coached about 1 or 2 games a year tops - of course he'd choose this one lol. Well played I guess - 5min left and he's gotten our guys to give up at home. Didn't expect that - our body language is complete capitulation.

Sucks to lose this one.

I'm concerned that Pope doesn't embrace that part, that he thinks fans just want an exciting offense.
I asked this earlier in the season but what are the odds in a couple seasons we’re calling for Pope to hire a defensive coordinator like we used to Want Cal to hire an offensive coordinator.

10 point lead Arkansas 4:09 to go is this some kind of joke….. I LOVE Pope but this isn’t going to get him a pass this Arkansas team SUCKS!!!!
I don't think John Calipari ever imagined his guys would hit 13 threes. That's the story of the game. It totally blew up our game plan. That being said, I would have liked to see in a triangle and two and guard Davis and big z.
 
Glad we have fans that are okay with losing games like this. This fanbase is getting worse by the year. All the sudden losing is fine. you don't lose this game.

Arkansas cant score 70 points against oklahoma, but they're going to get 90 on us. Do you understand what that means?

Gawd I hate these soft ass fans that are cool with losing.
That's way of the world now and good for Cal to of course find a way to show UK they are a doormat to anyone needing a win.
 
I'm not okay with this and I'm not okay with the fans on this board that are okay with losing games like this. This fanbase has a bunch of politically correct soft asses that excuse crap like this.
We wanted to get rid of Cal for losing games like this, but now we're okay with it? Okay.
 
We are bottom of SEC in both football and basketball. If you can't win in your own gym to a team that is 1 and 6 in the league your done. Kids just don't have the pride for the jersey like the older guys use to. Like Butler sitting out instead of gutting it out. Don't jump up and say I'm ready when we go to Ole Miss. Go lick your injuries until you feel better since we can lose games because it's no big deal to lose. How's the biggest game to fans this season and a guy gives a can't play. Soft kids equal soft seasons
We are not close to being football bad. If we were football bad, our fans would burn Rupp to the ground.

I'm convinced Chandler is the only guard on the floor for us who gives af about defense and can actually hang with his man. Everyone else looks like they're taking 3-5 business days to process defensive assignments.
They all take it easy at times. For example, that soft closeout by Alminor on the three by Z. Amari normally does this too, but tonight he has brought it all game. I knew he could do it and have been waiting for this kind of effort from him.
