We need Butler to be ok and Jax to return.

I don't think Pope has ever lost to Tennessee.

Sh*t posters. We know who they are now.

It definitely looked better tonight! Now get them rebounding a little better and quit missing so many layups and we have something!

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Big Game pope!

Rebounding is the thing they need to work on in practice.

 

[Fox2monk]

Big Game pope!

He is! I hope he carries this to the tourney and we get healthy! I wanna see this team at full strength get a chance for a run.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

They are all hat no cattle now. Laugh at them.

Hope so.

We can beat pretty much anyone when we D up!

He responded to the criticism, he knew what needed to be changed. Love it! This guy can coach.

Feels good to know you have a shot even under manned.

Quite a few basketball illiterate morons on this board don't quite grasp the importance of a PG on both ends of the court. Especially when the 2nd option is gone and you are relying on a SF or inexperienced Fr one who are your 3rd and 4th options. Of course they will bash Pope. They don't know any better.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

He was 4th or 5th on my list, but I've been all in on him since the Duke game. He is going to have a great run here.

I get it. I had him as my #1 choice as I wanted it in-house and I was tired of mercenary coaches with no ties. Pope’s style of play sealed it for me.

If the team had played as hard against Vandy, Ark and Ole Miss as they did the last two games, we would have 3 more conference wins. Pope learned motivation from the master, I would hope he can instill that with his teams. Same level of effort every game. I liked what I saw these last two games , especially with all of the injuries.

You're frustrated that this thrown together team isn't 20-4, lol. Your expectations of a team that was thrown together is ridiculous and absurd.
