Pope needs to cut 3-4 guys off this team in a couple weeks

Who’s he supposed to cut? The three freshman that shouldn’t and wouldn’t be playing anyway if not for injuries. Terrible take

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Meow. Kittens.

 

[kywildcat41035]

I honestly thought we could beat them for the first time this season. I didn’t think they would beat us for a 3rd time!

 

[chasingwildcat]

Pope must upgrade the talent next year.

we are only year one and without our 3 pgs

I am fine with the result

 

[The_Answer1313]

Oh well. We played hard at least.

 

[Bkocats]

Well I kinda feel like we’ve given up
Very frustrating but I understand
We’re beat to hell, probably exhausted and we’re without Butler
Officiating isn’t quite so bad this half but a few key calls have really hurt
Anyway. Have a good night y’all

 

[TheWyldKat]

Blow out city I called it


This is a round of 32 team without butler

He is crucial

 

[HagginHall1999]

I truly think there's something off with you, man.

You never criticized Calipari. Never.

And now, all you do is criticize Pope.

What's up with that?

It's probably Cal, lol.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

I never dreamed Kerr Kriisa would be out this long. When he went down on Dec 7th (?), I thought he’d be back in 6 weeks. He’d be very valuable right now

 

[sam_o]

Massively disappointing effort tonight

 

[true blue1]

Sears and Nelson with a combined 12 points and Bama still crushing the Cats. Didn’t see that happening

Absolute blowout.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

UConn with a big comeback, Hurley is on fire @ the officials.

Uconn loses.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

We played way over our head this year. The talent difference even with Butler vs Bama is staggering

 

[RobEStacy]

Night all... We just are not there physically and athletically... But Pope did what Cal could not do with a roster full of 5 stars... Pope won a single tourney game... Better times are ahead... Just can't watch us just get run off the floor.... Would have really liked to see us at full strenght... Could have been semi special... See ya in the Ncaa tourney.

 

[Eccain01]

Alabama one of the best teams in the country. Even fully healthy it’s tough. With these injuries it’s not enough

 

[WhiskeyCityCat]

Pope must upgrade the talent next year.

This line up is missing two starters and the 6th man….dont be a dummy…dummy.

 

[JFCats22]

Bama with 17 fast break points. UK has 0

 

[Big BlueBeard]

They may score 60 this half.

 

[BC_Wader]

Brea the only guy who can create his shot. Bama has multiple guys who can do it. I still love this team. I think we can win a few next week but we need some athletes STAT. It's the difference in this game. It is what it is.

 

[Kerry Kat]

Amari despite his stat line has been horrible tonight.

He plays his tail off every game, never takes a play off and has never missed a game. I love this warrior.

 

[Supafuzz75]

Some posters here (not in this thread) are really, really upset that I started a game thread. I was referred to as the most blocked person here, lol.

Was a couple people,, don't flatter yourself..

You’ll be back on ignore after the game

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Oh well. We played hard at least.

Not the last two minutes we didn’t. And our defense is horrible.

 

[Pelosigalore]

we are only year one and without our 3 pgs

I am fine with the result

I think he’s done well with what he has, but he has to get some studs to have a shot at a championship

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

I think to feel safe we should have no less than 7 pg's on the team next year.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

For you sunshine pumpers. Tell me how we are going to win? I don't see it right now.

GFY

 

[ManitouDan]

For you sunshine pumpers. Tell me how we are going to win? I don't see it right now.

We won’t , but can we expect Perry Chandler Noah to beat the best team Alabama has ever had ? Esp if Oweh doesn’t show , brea getting exposed . I still love them , down 17 , played hard almost all the time

 

[StevieJFTW07]

I like Amari but he is a very soft big defensively. Too many fouls and soft fouls for his size. He needs to work on rim protecting with that size and wing span.

 

[SophiesDad]

About what I expected. Competitive for a time but experience, athleticism, and talent prevails. Still thrilled about yesterday and looking forward to Sunday

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Now my heart hurts in addition to my head. We are about to get boat raced. Hate it.

This is the horse race where you were in third at the top of the stretch and fade. Think Arazi in the ‘92 Kentucky Derby. Doesn’t mean Arazi wasn’t a good horse. Just not our race tonight. Don’t let it affect the next few races.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

This team is done man. They want to get the hell off that floor as soon as possible. Embarrassing effort. I understand we are missing players. I get it. But they are putrid tonight in evert facet of the game.

Turnovers
Missed shot after missed shot
Missed free throws
Rebounding
Fouling
More turnovers

We haven’t done anything right. Looks like they don’t care out there.

 

[Edgarman]

Really really dumb foul by Williams.

We have thee worst defense in the SEC by a huge margin. When we face a quick team, we are lost ball in tall weeds. Pope best learn defense if he wants to stay in Lexington. He can have the five best offensive players and not beat other good quick teams with his style of defense. Just unacceptable product he has on the floor, defensively.

 

[gharding07]

Uconn loses.

Couldn't quite finish it off.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Damn, triple swept by Alabama… in Basketball. Ouch.

 

[NociHTTP]

You’ll be back on ignore after the game

 

[chasingwildcat]

We played way over our head this year. The talent difference even with Butler vs Bama is staggering

Even our full roster (with Butler and Jaxson) is not guaranteed to win... Bama is just a better team

 

[kywildcat41035]

Luckiest. Mother. F*****s.

No way Sears and his merry group of bums is winning it all. No. Way.

I’m definitely not rooting for no SEC team to win shit that’s for sure! I hope we win it all but if we get knocked out screw the rest of the SEC!!!

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Uconn loses.

Pitino's Johnnies should win tomorrow.

They looked really good today and the atmosphere in the Garden was electric. Pitino about to lock in his 30th win this season.

Not bad for an old man.

 

[Kerry Kat]

I honestly thought we could beat them for the first time this season. I didn’t think they would beat us for a 3rd time!

If we had a full roster

 

[NoDef]

Pope is a great guy and may turn out to be a solid coach. Bruce Pearl took a kid to a cookout and was fired as a coach and now some kids make millions a year. Did the cookout make us not to even look at him? Pope might hit it out of the park, but do you not even look at a guy that has taken non-traditional schools to national relevance?
