Oats saying, “They can’t play with us”

[canebreak]

Well maybe we need some of that in out locker room. Instead of all the finesse and x and o. Bama and auburn have swag. You have to have it. Yes it hurts but it won’t change as long as we’re soft

 

[kywildcats8]

Pretty good isn’t good enough for KY and I’m not putting down our guys love them and the team. Just facts most of these guys on a good to great team would be bench players.

I agree and they did beat us 2 other times, but we beat more top 15 teams than anyone this yr and had more quad 1 wins (I think) than anyone- a full/healthy roster this yr could have won it all IMO

 

[wildcat_nation28]

Pretty douche move to be still jacking 3s up almost 30 as well, hope Pope remembers this and did seem to be a real quick handshake I thought after the game. Oats loves to run his mouth for someone that’s been to 1 FF, seems a bit cocky without the hardware to back it.

well if they didn't like it stop it

 

[king of cali]

When you’re up almost 30 with 2 mins to go, pretty disrespectful to me. Always taught my teams to win with class and lose with that same class.

If you didn’t complain when UK was doing it to other teams you can’t complain when UK has it done to them.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I hope we run them off the court next year

 

[RunninRichie]

Wish we hired Oats.

 

[Zuma75]

i agree. if he said it during the game, he should have. it was true and i’d have not let them let up either. i figured it was press conference, in which case it’s not coaching, it’s just stating the obvious and imo beating a dead

I mean, without Butler, Robinson and Kerr … yeah, he’s right. He wasn’t taking about UK at full strength.

But yeah, some payback would be nice. Though we did smack the hell out of ‘em last year …

How exactly are we supposed to have swag and talk a lot without the talent (even when healthy) to really back it up? Would be pretty foolish in my opinion. I think Pope has some swag about him, he just can't really be acting like we're something we're not. ...yet. Let's give this another roster or two.

 

[BC_Wader]

This may be Bama's year or even Auburn's. Fact of the matter is both those teams are relying on a bunch of 5th year guys. They won't be as strong next season.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Oates getting that Karma, already the next night. They can’t play with Florida.

Florida is really good, man. They are so fun to watch. Seem to rarely make mistakes and play good defense. They look like the best team in the country today.

 

[Woodrow_Call_1998]

I certainly like your optimism and hope you're correct. However I'm looking at our projected roster currently a not seeing it at all. And that's if Oweh, Garrison a Chandler stay. Right now I would say next year's has as good of chsnce at being worse as better.

The three freshman we have signed are very good and I think we will do fine with filling the rest of the roster in the portal. I totally disagree with saying next years roster will be worse. Pope has more time this go around with building a team

 

[TTTblue24]

If you didn’t complain when UK was doing it to other teams you can’t complain when UK has it done to them.

Never been a fan of that kind of play at Uk or home with my boys so yeah, I do have a problem not showing your opponent with respect in a blow out. So if you like it then that’s you, not going to change my thinking cause a couple guys don’t agree.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Wish we hired Oats.

No if not Pope we should have got Golden!!

So balanced and smart.

looks like they were in for an ass kicking.

 

[Butters' Dad]

Seems like a cool past time at 1:23 in the morning. "Discrediting" fellow UK fans after a horrific loss.

Probably more productive than blowing smoke up your own and the boards' ass in every thread.

 

[treyforuk]

Alabama can't play with the big dogs.

 

[Catluv]

Hey Nate

Nate looks young in this picture!!

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Florida should be the overall number one seed.

They have less losses than Auburn and beat them.

 

[Johnfarrel]

Note to Oats: Pope beat Florida. You can’t play with them. What's your problem?

 

[runt#69]

That sound we hear is the door being slammed shut on the Tide.

I think my gut feeling all year long is being borne out as correct. Florida is the best team in the SEC this year. I've been pretty vocal about it. Looks like cream really DOES rise to the top afterall.

Brother I have no worries. My life is wonderful. I'm not here because I need this board to feel better about my life. Clearly you do.

Looks like they can't play with Florida lol.

You created an account simply to troll a fanbase you're not a part of.

This account was created way before I started posting. But you are going to think what you're going to think and I'm fine with that.

 

[U Go UK]

History of UK v UA basketball… UK 117 wins v UA 44. I’d say we can play with them. Hope they enjoy their run over the past few years. It’ll end.

 

[zannmann]

Karma is a bitch.

 

[ManitouDan]

Windshield meet bug .. Oates meet Florida … ha ha got your ass served up to you less than 24 hours after gettin” all puffy chested about beating a depleted Ky team .

 

[ManitouDan]

Wouldn’t mind to see Bama in the EE or sweet 16 — with butler and a fair whistle .

 

[Kjuk24]

And losing to schools I NEVER knew even existed in the NCAA Tournament!!! Then BRAGGED about getting home to his dogs and watching Ice Road Truckers!!!! Cal QUIT!!! He has SUCKED this year with that supposed "ELITE talent". WHY???!!!!!

Pope was SLAMMED with injuries that derailed what could have been a MUCH better 1st season. Deny that all you want, but that is a FACT!!!

Those "top 40 guys from the commonwealth" are DARN GOOD players!!!! Coach Pope has already stated over 1 week ago that he has at least 2 "Superstar transfers" lined up already to come here next season and will have MORE once the season ends.

Nobody wants to play for a Mormon. #Soft

Ain't gonna happen, pal

EE or Final Four, just the same, say. Pretty much been there already, done that before, right?

Take me down memory lane ! But the last time had to get LSU in on it. So don't forget the other SEC team that will be there too. especially this year.

lol

 

[Seth_C]

Poor Oats. I hope he gets his ass handed to him in the first round just like he did today. I’d say he might learn to be humble but one look at his face and you know he will be an insufferable spoiled piece of shit till the day he dies. Like Cal, only without achieving anything at all.

Back for more abuse tonight Brad???

 

[Edgarman]

No if not Pope we should have got Golden!!

How many of the coaches mentioned that we should have hire would have actually taken the job. Who is to know that we did not have feelers out on Oats, Pearl, Golden, Pitino, and others. I'm sure Barnhart checked on every one of those coaches to see if there was any interest. Every coach mentioned were and are making more money than Pope with much much less fan pressure. If you are making $5 million a year, how much more would $6 million a year add to your needs?

 

[BBNinSC]

The key to next season may be the players Pope can return next season. Oweh will be a first team all-SEC and I believe Garrison has all the natural ability and skill set to make a big impact next year.
I think we’ll see when players have multiple seasons with the Kentucky staff, they will improve greatly.
