Pope Will Not Tighten Lineup

WTF? Who said anything about losing the game?
The point of this thread is about the lineups. I can't even believe you tried to defend it. The backups came in and crapped the bad in less than a minute. It perfectly illustrated exactly what some of us have been saying.
You have to limit the minutes those bench guys play and you damn sure can't play them together, tonight proves that again.
Well, gee... look how it worked out, though. Our lead shrunk by a few points for half a second and then exploded. Good thing Pope is playing the long game rather than chewing his nails over a couple of baskets in the first few minutes of the game.

And I at least believe we still could be a Final Four team unlike you who have already quit on them.
 
Wow, someone is a keyboard tough guy but if you don’t like the response…….then maybe just maybe you should just keep scrolling moron cause I didn’t ask for your jackass comment d-bag.

Man the pansies are out in full force, heaven forbid someone have an opinion that some lame ass teenager doesn’t like. Grow up & quit getting your panties in a wad over a message board.
Awww, someone mad. I thought this was just a message board and you aren't suppose to get your panties in a wad

Obviously you don't understand.
It's not about this game.

We play some of these guys as much as we are, we aren’t making the final four.

I agree with Pope. You aren’t cutting down the nets, expanding the rotation gets the youngsters more reps now and builds for next year. Win/win in my mind
Okay, this is an argument that actually makes sense. I think a lot of the people arguing for it would be upset if it was confirmed that it was because we know we aren’t winning this year.

LSU sucks. We’ve lost games this year because of his insistence on playing certain guys a certain amount of time.

I’m not necessarily saying Pope believes that we aren’t winning it all —- to be clear that’s my view. I’d love to win it all but we don’t have the horses. You can’t build quality depth without playing guys though. It solves multiple issues going forward — you have a better idea what you have with guys at the end of your bench, you get reps for more players and you can attract more bench pieces in the program going forward once players realize there will be opportunities to get minutes even if they aren’t starters. People aren’t seeing the big picture imo if they reject the wide bench

I disagree that playing a bunch of guys is always the right call, especially if your goal is to win as many games as possible.
 
I’m not the argue for the sake of arguing type. You do you lol. I see the thread and it’s clear to me. Enjoy the game lol
What is clear? The discussion is whether playing a bunch of guys is always in the best interest of the team. In our current situation, where we aren’t making a run, I get it. If we had a chance, and we were playing some of these guys as much as we are, that would be a clear situation where it’s bad.

You’re not gonna argue for the sake of arguing but you’re fine being passive aggressive and reductive. Okay.

Not taking the bait. Enjoy!😉
 
How many guys did we have when we won in 2012?
Didn't we just play 6 or 7?

John Wooden told Cal a long time ago "you're playing too many guys, you have to shorten your rotation" and if Ihm not mistaken, John Wooden won a few games.
 
Now you’re just trolling.

You’re the one bitching and whining lol, who commented on whose post first?? Are you that stupid or just a moron all the time?? I’m sure you’re a standout employee & way to come up with your own material 😂, imitation is the best form of flattery. Thanks for being a fan dipstick!!

With Kareem, Bill Walton,Henry Bibby,Marques Johnson. You see any guys like that on this UK squad.
 
TONIGHT it was,can you guys not just enjoy a blow out win for one night!
Okay, so you jumped into the middle of a conversation you obviously don't understand. It's not about last nights game, it's about what will happen going forward if he continues to do a hockey line change with the bench we currently have.
LSU sucks and they immediately went on a run. Do that in the NCAAT and the outcome might be very different.
