1. We've got fighters.
2. Cooper Flagg is the real deal(but still a freshman).
3. Mark Pope is the real deal.

Three things we learned tonight.
- Thread starter ukfan1622
- Start date
And Pope is going to play who he thinks will win the game and not promised minutes like the last regime. Brilliant playing Carr at the 5 for a stretch and through him, and Oweh is an absolute stud on both ends.
4.) It’s legal to make halftime adjustments when you are the head coach.
1. We have a TEAM now
2. We CAN make adjustments
3. Pope is the MAN

We have an X and O coach now and I still hate Duke
Even with awesome freshman, a good portion of the time they'll do dumb shit like that at the end. 2 back to back turn overs and give up an offensive board on a missed free throw. I was laughing my ass off at Schyer going back to him after he just did the freshman folly the play before.
Basically we beat Duke without much scoring at all from Robinson and Krissa. What a win, they never quit!
Good post but WHY in the hell would you bring Flagg into this? We don't care about him. Give us 3 things about the team not Flagg sheesh.
5) The heart of our team is led by the heart of our coach.
We have a HC and Dawgs pretending to be Cats.
I love this team!

First time I have seen Flag and he is a great player. Have to give him credit for that. But anytime we beat PUKE makes us all happy.
We are playing for the name on the front of that jersey not the one on the back of it what a gutty win wow
Life has been pumped back into BBN this year. Watch out college basketball, the CATS are back and their bringing all of BBN with them!
I believe Duke spent so much energy with the intensity that they were guarding those 2 that they wore out a little at the end .
Its only a travel when a UK player slides and falls with the ball, not a duke player.
The 'right' side of the court was an ice rink.

Not a positive, but I’m not sure how much we can count on Robinson being a go-to guy on offense. Better to recognize it early than hope for it late.
Well I thought we would win by double digits so we got some work to do…(sarcasm) 🤣
4. My wife will giggle when she hears, "K-nipple."
He showed that before this game by playing the hot hand in Kerr over Butler most of the 2nd half last game
This should prove that it doesn’t matter if Jaxson is on or off…we have multiple weapons and a coach that can find a way to use them.
I'll go with these three things :
#3 - Kentucky's experience and talent was very much overlooked by the national media.... No longer.
#2 - Coach Pope is a great Kentucky basketball coach. Period.
#3 - we are no longer "under the radar"
Bring it on !
Go Big Blue !

4. The entire BBN is chomping at the bit to love this team again.
5. Our coach loves this team.
6. We all need to send Arkansas a thank you for taking that con man fraud off our hands.
Number 1 is a reflection of number 3! He wasn't the coach most of us wanted during the initial search, but he sure as heck is the coach we needed!
Gotta give Garrison his props too! Young fella stepped up and made some HUGE plays in the second half! The three at the top of the key was massive for momentum.
We dont always have to lose close big games
Halftime adjustments help
Players seem to respond better to Not screaming an berating players entire game

Sorry, can I get your email so I can get future posts approved in advance?
Garrison played a very good game and not to many fans pointed that out. Pope said he could shoot and that 3 he made looked very good.
This! We all needed this game and proved all of our excitement for the Pope Era to be legitimate. Kentucky is back!!
Seeing this team find a way to win while he had an off night against a Top 10 team is a good sign of Kentucky's depth. Showed they have other dudes who can step up to the plate.
Sure am glad CF won't be there next year.
Kid is a stud. I have a feeling nipple will be one of those is seems that play 20 years at Duke and just unlikeable.

Right foot barely touched the line, it was technically a 2 which is how it was recorded. Nevertheless he proved he can shoot jumpers and not just a back to the basket post player. Definitely made his presence know in the paint and got some key layups down the stretch. 4 boards with a couple of assists and blocks to go along with his impressive game. Having Brandon come off the bench when the bigs Williams and Carr are in foul trouble is much better than the options Kentucky has had coming off the bench in recent years.
Totally get that, but we need a guy we can rely on to get a bucket when we need one. Not saying others can’t, but it’s a lot easier to advance in the tourney when you have a guy you know you can rely on.
Never said UK did not need one. Pointing out Kentucky's depth to find ways to win a game with other players while someone like Robinson has an off night is the not the same as what you are implying that I said UK did not need one which isn't what I said.. It's only 3 games in, these things work themselves out. We'll know who that guy is by March. Brea was only the best 3-point shooter in the country last season and this team's leading scorer. Oweh & Carr were clutch down the stretch. Butler hit one of the biggest shots in NCAA Tournament history a few years ago and can get to the rim. Don't count out Kriisa, drilled a couple of big time 3's Tuesday night. Jaxson Robinson may have gotten his clunker out the way early. I don't think people are done with Robinson after one bad game. If there are people like that, they are making a mistake.
