So Pope lost and Cal won

Well, I could recall Cal losing to Evansville at home to start with. How many years is it acceptable for you for UK not to make the final four? uK’s beat a lot of ranked teams this year. So you wanna keep Cal and not give Pope a chance to build a program? So tell me who do you want to coach the team? Please respond.
well Pope has never done anything "coaching wise" in the tournament losing to teams like Arkansas Ohio st Clemson but beating top 15 teams just don't think Pope has what it takes to Win the championship

how many years you give Pope?
 
Not really. Oakland, St Peter’s and several other are much worse. Tonight sucks, but it will piss the team off.
I admit that it is below those losses, but it will live on in a similar way to the Duke loss in 92. Whether it will be good or bad remains to be seen, but it will be remembered.

I dont understand how you can make that statement. Do you realize that their 7 quad 1 wins are not because of their athleticism but because of their coaching and game plan? That’s why their defense is so bad because they’re not athletic as most of the competition. Give pope at least four years to see what he can do. But if you’re going to complain and say he’s not the person please tell me who should be coaching the team?
 
Damn it sucks but haven’t been able to say that often this season. Pope’s done more with less athletic players than Cal has done with his 5 stars. Arky had to play their best game all year to win. It’s not Cal that coached the 3 balls to finally fall. Take Pope any day over Cal. UK’s future is bright compared to where it was last year.
Man that’s a good positive way to look at it, but this was a bad bad loss. The whole nation was watching this one. I’m sick over it.

so you are saying that you give Pope 4 years but the fifth year got to win? It is 2025 you pay for players now Kentucky shouldn't have a problem the thing is these kids don't care what the name is on the jersey no more
 
Remember that feeling you felt when Barnhart hired Mark Cope?

You knew he wasn't the man for the job. But THEY told you what you saw was wrong and what you felt was wrong

Coming soon? Beating EKU on a last second shot is good coaching! Coach X could never. Repeat ×5

We will suffer for years.

We will continue to bottom of the barrel in football and now basketball....

imagine UK being in 10th place in the SEC and people making excuses lol.


If you dispute this post tell me why we lost to vanderbilt, Georgia, ohio state and Arkansas 😀

You still haven’t told me who you want to coach the team? You made the statement that pope is not the man.
 
Man, love your loyalty but this team just lost big to what Dykes said was maybe the most anticipated game in UK history.
Arkansas has two 5 stars on the team. One is Wagner. Many on this board talked about him last year like they are talking about Chandler tonight. The other 5 star was Fland.

This was a poorly coached game tonight. That's it. Pope has had some big wins this year but this was a disaster. The team and Pope will learn and move on.
Richmond and Knox were highly rated. And Thiero is the best player on either team. He’s just a Freak of nature

Right , they were 4 stars. Thiero wasn't rated until he signed with UK. He made it to a 3 star status on one recruiting service. Others , he remained unranked or, a 2 star.

Thiero was not Rated until he was offered. He has developed by a great deal. That's a tribute to him and Cal. Richmond and Know were relatively high 4 stars.
