that’s the best I’ve seen Carr in weeks.
UK at Bama Game Thread! Go Cats!

Figured we’d lose pretty bad because Bama is a bad matchup. We played tough but the last eight minutes of each half were yikes.
You misspelled "referees"
I’m not sure that’s what he said. I listened to
it twice.
My lord all the stupidity outside of this thread is 10x worse than anything said in game chat.
We have got to improve defensively. That’s the one thing about Pope as a coach that really worries me.
Sorry, should have stated “in the second half”. And yes, Pope got embarrassed. Out-coached, and failed to stick up for our guys on some bad calls. Being the nice guy may have worked when playing against Texas Tech or Utah, but it gets him nothing and gives other coaches the advantage with the officials in the SEC. I love Pope but this is big-boy ball, and he needs to react to really bad officiating with that in mind.
Pathetic the calls Sears gets. It’s unreal.
We could’ve used 5 of him tonight.
Us: "Pope is doing a good job but Cal has made losing exhausting."
This guy: "OH YOU WANT TO FIRE POPE? MORON. CRYBABY."
Like what the heck? Lol.
I was traveling all day and only got to listen via iHeart radio. Was there any update on pregame or TV concerning Lamont Butler or Jaxson Robinson injuries?
Not a terrible result for UK considering what they missed from injuries and Oweh’s horrible game.
Every game going forward is big for us!
I think it's more so Sears than anything else. Sears is just on another level ability wise than what we have. But he does overplay his hand at times and in those instances can hurt AL. I think a healthy Butler could have helped to create one of those instances.
Foul merchant is not so great when he’s not getting calls.
One question, what happened to calling moving pick/screens, Bama moved on almost every screen they set on the ball and they never called one. Carr got called against Vandy for a hip check and he did not even touch the guy last game.
This game would have been his best opportunity to get a “T”.
It takes a real genius to pull "fire Pope" out of what we've said. Dude's doing good with what he's been dealt with. Losses can still be exhausting. Those two things can both be true.
On the bright side, just had two UK fans say we're missing the tournament. Despite being in the T15 of the freaking NET.
I can't even with the stupidity these days.....geez.

Don't worry about it man. It's been a very stupid week and day on the internet.
Still called against Kentucky, but never our opponents.
Yep. Still doesn't change the fact we lost. And losing sucks.
I was hoping we'd keep this game in single digits.
We had more offensive rebounds and committed less turnovers than Alabama. Normally, that would entail a victory for us.
Instead, Bama was carried by their superior interior shooting. They shot close to 70% from 2.

Hard enough trying to stay in front of that PG but all those moving screens made it almost impossible.
Pope is doing well. It's hard when so many of your players are injured, especially since this is his first year. We all thought he'd need a few years to get the ship righted from Cal's wreck.
Our guys in the first 10 minutes was ready to break the game wide open and Pope changes the lineup having Oweh and Garrison together which of course ended up badly. Carr's second foul was bs and it definitely changed the game.
As for these refs, they can get bent and don't get me started on the announcers, especially Dykes.

You should be frustrated with the previous idiot that was our coach. We had no returning players.
No shock all things considered. Alabama is Kentucky with more guys experienced playing with each other. Good team.
Good to see Carr playing better. Perry scored his career high. Chandler wasnt devastatingly bad.
Whatever happened with Oweh and Almonor I hope doesn't have that injury word attached to it.
But yeah....as hard a job as it is Pope has to try and win with the crew we have right now.
We can't wait on the calvary coming over the hill.

I don't think any of the calls were good or bad. I just know if you watch other games the fouls that are called are usually touch fouls when shooting. Other than that it has become WWE. I will bet if you rewatch this game and are truly honest, you will see plenty of fouls on both teams not called. Other than our late fouling to stop the clock, the fouls we close to even. I can accept that we got our ass beat and if not a single foul had been called the entire game we would still have gotten our ass beat. There is no shame in losing, only in not giving 100% on both ends of the floor. We still loaf on defense on many trips down the court. Either our kids don't care or Pope has not benched their ass to get their attention. Bench time is the best lesson a kid can finally realize he is not giving 100%. Owen should have been on the end of the bench the 2nd half. He thinks he is Steph Curry and on the bench he may realize that he is NOT. I watch parts of the UGA/AU and TN/aTm games and they were WWE as well.
lol. Don't go there. I railed the ever loving crap out of Cal the last year and half. Now go enjoy the rest of your night.
