He might suck but the team sucks too. Inconsistent

STFU. A top 10, 14-4 team with more top 15 wins than anyone in the country sucks? You and the others like you who whine and moan at halftime are shit “fans” and should probably go watch figure skating or dog shows. 20 minutes to play.

 

[Farsight]

Does Pope Discipline his guys?

I know if Ricky P was coaching he wouldn't have this shit right now. He would be in everyone's ass

 

[PhilipVU94]

This one is legendary. This take needs to be kept for years to come.

For sure. Mark and Mark.

 

[ManitouDan]

And we need to quit running the offense thru Williams , his offense skills are few and none

 

[BC_Wader]

Some of these folks in here that think Vandy isn't good needs to put down the sauce

 

[Digger-Cat]

Exactly this^^^^. Worst decision Pope’s made all year. Absolutely lost this game with those crazy lineups the last 8 minutes. Completely baffling for a guy as smart as Pope to have this level of a brain fart - but he did.

I understand stealing minutes, but dude had Butler and Oweh on the bench and had Noah, Chandler and Perry in at the same time. That lost us this game. You cannot play those guys at the sane time. This is the SEC, not dome mid Major league.

 

[megablue]

I expect to see a short bench this half with the starters getting the bulk of the run. I think Pope was hoping for some output from the bench but there is definitely some liabilities. We miss Carr’s size and versatility at the 4.

I agree with you !!

 

[Edgarman]

No they’re not.

They’re just better coached and not soft

Vandy's quickness and desire to win is the difference. The sole reason that our defense is so bad is we are slow footed and not quick enough to stay in front of an offensive player that is quick. They reach and foul. Luckily today the refs are not calling our grab and holds on a driving Vandy player. The defense will be fixed with recruiting quicker and more lengthly kids. We have always heard, "you can't coach speed," well you really can't coach slowness. A match up zone would stop some of the penetration our opponents seem to be able to do at ease. We can't play tight on the 3 pt line because of our lack of quickness to stop the penetration.

Can someone tell Helen Hunt to shut up about her stinky boobs and ass.🤡

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Did anyone bother telling amari his defensive rebounding efficiency is top 10? I was assured on this board that means hes a good rebounder.

 

[B.B.H.]

And we need to quit running the offense thru Williams , his offense skills are few and none

Good idea. We will just install a brand new offense at halftime in Nashville. Omg smh

 

[SkyPrince1]

You just can't count on Jaxon Robinson to lead

 

[Pelosigalore]

It’s time to have the discussion that we’re not really a great shooting team. We can go on streaks, but maintaining even 35% in a one game scenario can be a struggle for us.

Defense, rebounding and effort have all been very lacking today.

We’ve got to have another way to manufacture looks at the basket because they’re on to the high post stuff.

Agree
It’s a good, not great shooting tram

Pope is to nice for that stuff! I like Pope but I don’t see him here long term!

 

[flacat22]

No, it's a fair take for today's game. Pope needs to figure shit out at halftime and stop it with the derpy lineups.

Let’s revisit it after the final horn.

 

[megablue]

Hopefully, Vandy’s shooting goes cold.

 

[Pelosigalore]

There you go butler!

Noah needs to be spelling Amari and Brandon, for fatigue OR mental reasons. Noah is better than both of them IMO. Chandler isn't there mentally, and Perry is too slow (can knock down the three unguarded).

 

[BigRickWithTheBig___Suv]

Love Pope but he tends to wait way too long to call a timeout. The team has been out of it for the last half dozen possessions.

Pope needs Ricky P on his sideline....said that from day 1

 

[fisherscatfan]

Why does our PG give the ball to Williams routinely to bring it up the court?

 

[StubbornPenny]

I’m gonna post pictures of me with Amari’s mom before every game, just so I can see him play angry.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Must have been the officials?

🤮

 

[BC_Wader]

Come on Cats!

 

[flacat22]

Let’s go BLUE!!

 

[HenryMuto]

Nice start to 2nd half just wish we had not collapsed to end 1st half so bad otherwise it be tied instead of down 6

 

[Farsight]

GOOD START SO FAR.

Now keep it up.

We can beat Vandy.

Just stop playing dumb

 

[ukwazoo]

A pulse!

 

[fisherscatfan]

Amari releasing down the court versus going for the rebound. Fundamental shit like that Pope continues to allow.

 

[UKortho]

Let’s go! Going to win this game

 

[StubbornPenny]

Ok showing a little fire. Let’s go, get hype, okay hard, take hits, finish!!!


RUNNNN GOOOOO

 

[Big BlueBeard]

Hell yea fellas, that’s how ya start! Let’s go now.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Half posters here.

 

[BCD]

Oh no comprehend just fine. Your first line was “not consistent reffing”. Can’t walk it back now.


They need to toughen up and just play. This team has become softer as the year has progressed. I think that’s the prob

I’m not walking it back. What I was trying to say, and failed to state clearly, was that all the emphasis the UK staff placed on studying fouls recently to better understand how the SEC is being called, is out the window for this game. They are really letting them play. We just didn’t expect or prepare for that. Just my $.02

 

[rick64]

Here we go!!

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Keep fighting

 

[megablue]

Stay with the veterans … if we have cream, it will come to the top.

 

[NociHTTP]

Game back on for me. Let's see if the BP drops.

 

[chasingwildcat]

Only plays a little harder and we are only down six now


So where is our effort in first half?

 

[mrjuk]

Let’s make our run now guys!!!
