Good learning experience for Pope as well. See what adjustments he makes. We know the previous guy would make none.

UK is a bit limited defensively. If they’re gonna rain 3’s, then Otega and Butler need to see fewer minutes…but tough to do since they are the squads best perimeter defenders. We will see what Pope changes, if anything, in the second half.
I would also like to see Pope stop giving Chandler whatever minutes he promised him to get him in Lex. He looks like a kid who took 2 years away from organized basketball. Maybe next year for him, but not now. Mop up duty only.
Actually, you did. In fact, that’s exactly what you asked. It’s all good man. We eat the same thing. You just want to blame others for the lack of success. I prefer to look internally for that answer.
Pope's ability to make adjustments here is about the only thing I care to see tonight, win or lose.
If he can make some changes and we can make it a game, even in a loss, ill be happy. But if we see the same thing.. that's gonna be a bit of a worry for me.
We hired this guy to NOT be like Cal, so I need to see some real changes for the 2nd half.

I think Butler is a little too offensive minded when he was supposed to be a defensive specialist.
But if Pope had a problem with it, I'm sure he'd say something , Butler is his guy.
Knueppel needs to be wearing an Indiana uniform. Guy looks like he needs Shooter telling him to run the picket fence and don't get caught watching the paint dry

I'm surprised by how many points they gave up. I did say that they would foul trouble us and they did.
The issues:
1. We have no driving game.
2. We can't stop their drives. They're getting in the lane at will.
3. Duke's defense is legitimate.
4. UK missed too many free throws and open threes.

Sorry I was referring to rent maybe 17th - 23rd ranked
Surely we do better than that. I hope.
Yes, the offense doesn’t look nearly as good. I like it better when we’re playing mid majors lol.
This is where not having a go to guy to show some balls in difficult times hurts.
I hate it too man. But the dude won 5 titles on his own.
Carr can’t play if his ass can’t rebound. Four dudes busting their tail to get a stop and he’s too soft to get a board.
