Pathetic display of basketball in that first half. Make them turn their uniforms inside out. Embarrassing. Look like shit in every facet of the game. Hell let’s go see another Broadway play

Why not play a zone????
Our ball movement is horrible tonight.
Never fails that kids that have a connection to UK burn us when we play them, Bradshaw has NEVER played this good.
Can’t shoot this bad and beat anyone, even CRAPPY teams like OSU.
Got to figure out why we play so terribly in the 1st half of games.
Sad

Came to check in on the thread. Shocked to find people negative and bashing the team. That never happens when they have a bad half.
Looks to me like we gotta stop fouling. We should be winning this game looking at the box score

Thanks but whoever made that needs to work on the column headings

I think this is the first game that he doesn’t make adjustments and we actually lose by 15 to a weak ass Ohio State squad.
Pope thinks that he has more talent on his bench than he actually does and he’s still allowing players to do things that you’re not suit their skill sets. And he still doesn’t have the right guys taking the most shots.
Some of us have been saying it from day one it I’ll keep saying it: at this point you go with Carr at the five and see what you have.
Carr is a mismatch for most 5’s. Brea can get better looks with four shooters around him. Robinson too would find more space.
Butler
Oweh
Robinson
Brea
Carr
Bench:
Kerr (when he’s back)
Garrison
Chandler
As little as possible:
Williams
Perry
Almanor
I think Pope needs to change up the offense. We do the same thing ever possession. Becomes pretty easy to defend.
I like halftime adjustments and all. You can't keep cedeing teams 20 minutes.
Ky being manhandled inside our D is awful surprised Pope did not use some kind of zone our offense is not much better.
I think so, they are on National TV proving that they don’t belong at big basketball is what Pope is telling them. Now it’s time to prove it in the second half
Because we let them score 1.26 ppp, we are too soft and the SEC is going to expose that twice a week.
The ball isn't moving on offense. A lot of standing around and dribbling. Cuts aren't violent and savage enough.
One of these games, a second half comeback isn't going to cut it. We NEED to start playing 40 minutes like Pope said.
I'm extremely concerned that Pope sticks with the scout for so long even when we're getting crushed. Halftime adjustments are great, but what did we realistically change out of that timeout the first time OSt went up big?
I'm not a basketball genius, but I know UK plays better out of halftime than a timeout. More time at halftime, granted, but c'mon. Throw a zone at them or something.
I'm frustrated, and even if we blow the hinges off of these guys and win by 30, I'll still have reservations. Losing the first half will cost us in the long run, and so far, it's a pattern.
Maybe stick around and chat about the game? Or were you just checking in to see if people are saying stuff you don't want to hear?
Nah, I wish I didn’t have too! I want us to give a shit and actually bite down and play defense with pride and some ****ing give a shit!!! Our guys haven’t played to their potential whatsoever and it pisses me tf off! It should piss you off too!!
Williams? He’s soft as Charmin. Can’t block shots and can’t shoot anything well except a dunk, and he plays lazy. Sorry. You must have meant Oweh, but he’s done nothing this game either.

I hope you’re right. Their effort level is embarrassing tonight. Getting outhustled. Drives me nuts. If the team is better than us then hats off, but when you are down because of being outworked, that’s not good.
Whose fault is that? You got anything positive to say about that first half? Honestly, I don’t. Or you just want to bitch about the game thread? Oh yeah, you’re so superior complaining about the posters instead of the game. Yup. You’re Jesus himself.
Pope will make adjustments.
This act of being down like 8 to 10 at half against every solid team except Ul is getting old.

Damn, didn’t watch the first half, but good to see our guys really didn’t either. Looks like we played like shit.
Let me guess, Burlier picked up two quick fouls early and Shows was putrid.

Maybe they need an L to wake up. This is a very good team but most games will be close. People need to get used to that but everyone expects them to play a perfect 40 every time out. Not gonna happen. Go Cats. Make adjustments and win another one!
We need Kerr back and nobody's trying to get open while jacking up contested shots is worse. Williams is allowing these guards to beat him
I think he makes great half-time adjustments, but it does seem that he struggles adjusting on the fly.
I understand your point but I would also add Otega Oweh as a junk yard dog.
Ohio State is controlling the tempo of the game. We have to come out and fight the second half. We look sluggish and uninspired.
Really don't think it's fixable for SEC play. NCAAT is a different story because the field there might actually be easier than the field in the SEC.
But I see a team that's gonna take a lot of beatings in the SEC simply because the players just aren't very good. Almost every single one of them have some pretty glaring weaknesses and that's why their were all sub50 recruits and playing either on mid-major teams, or were like the 4th option on a middling P5 program..
It might be harsh to say, but these guys just aren't the type of caliber who should be playing at a Kentucky or a Duke, at least not in the roles they have now.
