They are tougher, more physical and more athletic. I'm not bitching, just making an observation. Pope put together the best team he could with the time he had. He does need to find some"tough" type guys and some guys with mor athletisism.
Tennessee and Auburn will absolutely punk us

Folks are going to write you off as a troll. And maybe you are. But I do agree. We are going to get steamrolled by both.
Tennessee getting their bad shooting night out of the way. They will torch the nets on Tuesday.
If Auburn and Tennessee slow the game down like that against us, it’s even more likely we get torched. If we don’t score a ton, we lose under Pope. 65, 66, 69, 69 = losses.
my thoughts some people can't handle truth
its called defense
Somebody started a thread like this before
we played Florida. Call me old fashioned, but I like to let the games play out. UT at the moment is leading Auburn late. UT just lost at Vandy last week.

Unfortunately we will not be able to shut them down like this.
Disagree every game is different, if we can play uptempo and stay out of rock fights we can play with anyone.
We won’t be able to get away with missing shots. Hit shots at a high clip and you can still win
We thought the same about Duke, Gonzaga, Florida and others. We never know until we play
What a bunch of pansies on here. No true fan is giving up any game.
Did any of us truly believe our Cats would beat the top 2 teams in our conference this season? We take our lumps in the first 3 years and then Pope Ball is rolling!
If we get the calls that Auburn got late in this game, we will beat TN
They probably are better than us but we aren’t healthy. Healthy I
Ike our chances but I’ll at least let our team play them first. We need a big win so maybe Tuesday we can get one.

They'll torch the nets because our defense is soft. We leave shooters open all over the floor and we sag off shooters.
Look at all the really good defensive teams out there, their coaches are hard nosed, no BS coaches that make their players play disciplined, tough as nails defense.
Teams are an extension of their coach, our coach isn't hard nosesd.
I love him for what his is and what he can be, but he's not a gritty, in your face, kind of guy and I think that matters.
We sure have some weak minded fans. It’s embarrassing.
Yay, now we get TN coming off a loss in Knoxville, losers 2 of 3 and desperate for a win.
The same Tennessee who just got beat at Vandy and was down by about 15 at one point to them in the 2nd half? And the same Auburn in a 50 point rock fight with them at home? We may get beat but we won’t get drug. The SEC is better than yall give them credit for. Every team in this conference is capable of beating anyone in the country on a given night.
I think that was true a couple months ago, but we really haven't taken that next step and most other teams have.
Injuries are an issue, but we're lazy and we don't take defense seriously enough. We have a center that guards the paint and rim with his hands down. We're 19 games in and he's still doing it.
It really is man. Dude put together a hell of a squad in a month basically and everyone quitting first sign of adversity. I’m glad they aren’t on the team. Let’s see what we can be when Carr gets back. Gonna be tough but I know they will fight at least.
There's a few insufferable SOBs on this forum today.. Couple in this post.. I hope it gnaws at their souls,, lol..
Doesn’t matter. Start of season general consensus was Sweet 16 was the ceiling for these Cats and it will still be no matter what happens in K-town
Agree. Ignore the defeatists. They literally throw their milk all over the floor any chance they get.
Not so sure. We have won against all the best teams we have played. It’s the shit teams that take our candy and at this point that is what I find most frustrating.
Way too early to say Coach Pope isn't hard nosed! Do you just live in the moment? Give him time to build his proper team. No one has patience in this day and age.
It’s anybody’s game on Tues, TN and UK are both trying to avoid 3 game losing streak
The Auburn game took a toll on TN

I didn't know being real meant you're not a real fan. This team has issues and it's effort related.
Pope did a hell of a job building the team and pulled some wins out of his brain that most coaches couldn't, but I don't think it's being a bad fan to call out the lack of effort and lack of holding players accountable.
If this team is going to hang with Tennessee on Tuesday night, a lot has to change and Pope is going to need to challenge some guys, if not, I'm sorry, but you won't win at Tennessee with lackluster effort.

I said some were weak minded. Andddd they are. Absolutely.
So many glass-half-empty sad sacks around here. I realize it's likely either trolls or just a defense mechanism, but I would never want to watch a game with these people. Such a miserable group of people.
