With NUMEROUS NBA players playing for him in those 15 years.
Pope just needs some time. Unlike Cal, who QUIT his last 4 years with future NBA players. Losing to LOW major schools not only during the season but during the NCAA Tournament!!!
At the end of the day it was more fun to watch.. Cal never lost by 30 at UK
Sure, all of those "Rock fights" with dudes that couldn't throw it in the ocean here until last season, then he decides to sit the 2 that could make shots on the bench.
Those NCAA Tournament games were a HOOT!! Heck, Bruce Pearl beat Cal with his best player HURT in the Elite 8 in 2019. And St Peters and Oakland were JUGGERNAUTS!!!
Look I'm gonna be real with you sonofbitches. I don't think most expected to win tonight, I didn't. However I didn't expect the biggest beat down of the year in friendly Nashville after losing by 13 with about the same team at Bama.
I'm not throwing in the towel, I love this team but we are the only blowout of the entire SEC tourney and I'm confident it stays that way. 29pts is an embarrassment to a team you lost to by 5 and 13.
The refs are trash, Bama is good and it's not easy. I get it, but I just wish there'd been a little more fight. Plus how does Carr go 8 of 10 and only play 19mins. Dudes unstoppable inside. I don't know play Remember the Titans or something for them. Just don't lose the first one. Win 2 and you're our heroes. 29 just hurts. That may have cost us a seed line and maybe it should.
I'm never ok with losing but I know the score and throw in SEC refs and I just wanted us to compete. Not sure we did in the 2nd half.
I'm also ready and 100% ok with Pope's 1st technical. Guys getting stitches back to back nights and only a call against us. I love Pope but you gotta fight for your players if you want them to fight. Oweh splashed blood all over the court and got called for his jaw fouling the guy. Chandler had more than Ulis blood coming down and Carr bad back got pummeled to the ground and Pope has the same look.
Maybe even keel wins the day at some point but this bs the past 2 days I wanted him to loose it. I mean some of this was bad I want these refs to at least go oh shit he might not take everything we are gonna cram down his throat.

Cal’s 2010 roster or Cal’s 2025 roster?
Yes his 2010 roster was better. He also inherited Patrick Patterson, DeAndre Liggins, Daniel Orton, Josh Harrellson, Ramon Harris and Perry Stevenson. Pope inherited Walker Horn and Grant Darbyshire.
Cal brought Cousins and Wall with him. Bledsoe and Dodson were Memphis bound too. Pope brought Robinson.
The results are yet to be determined. If you remember, we had no business losing to WVU with all that talent. Our 6 first rounders got owned by the current Celtics coach.
If you can’t see these two situations were totally different in completely different eras of college basketball, I can’t help you. Shit that worked in 2010 is no longer applicable to 2025. 15 years is a long time.
Welp, you’d be wrong.
Cal lost by 30 at UT in mid-February with a shorthanded team due to injury to the team’s most important player, Nerlens Noel.
UT finished 20-13 that year and lost to Mercer in the first round of the NIT.
Tennessee 88-58 Kentucky (Feb 16, 2013) Final Score - ESPN
Game summary of the Tennessee Volunteers vs. Kentucky Wildcats NCAAM game, final score 88-58, from February 16, 2013 on ESPN.
Cal also lost by 26 at Alabama in 2023 in a game we trailed 72-41 with 5 minutes left.
It is true Cal never lost a postseason game this bad at Kentucky, but losing to a 15 and 14 seed twice in three years is still worse. Nobody will remember taking an ass kicking in a conference tournament quarterfinal. The Peacocks will live forever in UK infamy.
i wonder how many missed tournaments he’d have with a roster full of 5 stars. which is the most embarrassing shit in the history of college basketball. hell, dean smith is laughing. how many oakland’s does he have with multiple top 10 nba draft pick? how many st. peter’s does he have with the national player of the year? good lord. epic, all-time embarrassment.
cal is a supreme underachiever. he’s had how many all american’s and players of the year? one title? and he nearly blew that.

I can't wait for clowns like you come Thursday or Friday, have to find some new material when Pope may get that first win in the NCAA Tournament.
he did.
but more cal is to take a 20 point lead, with supreme talent, and then lose by 10. because he can’t coach worth a shit.
Lost by 34 to DOOK in the Champions Classic. Pope beats them first time out in the Champions Classic. You're an idiot and look like a fool. You think that you are funny sitting in your parents' basement giggling your fat titties off eating Cheetos thinking how you got these guys good..but the joke is on you!
And shit the bed with all of those NBA All-Stars then and throughout his career except one year. A real winner that one is. I'm convinced if he had it all over to do again with Anthony Davis, would find a way to screw that up to. Lost 11 games with 7 NBA players in 2017-18. Can't win a title with KAT, Booker, WCS, Ulis and the Harrison Twins.
Arkansas should hang a banner up for that next to the lone '94 Championship one. It is the only thing they will raise while he is on the sidelines there.
I have to believe that you are just joking. Cal had several NBA star players on his first team that he had recruited. How many of those are on this team? Pope had no time to recruit. I thought we would be a bubble team this year if that. Pope far exceeded my expectations even in the face of injuries to key players. I loved Cal when he actually tried to win titles, but he stopped doing that years ago.
Losing by 30 sucks. But given all the injuries and who pope is having to play what else can we expect honestly. A very fun season, with some over achieving moments. He is gonna get a 3 seed with his dang backcourt being injured, that’s pretty remarkable.
