The new pitino love affair has been incredible to watch this year.

Cal had much better players. Not even close. The rebuild of St. Johns will continue to evolve.

@movershaker74 and Pitino after!

 

[catben]

I'm AMAZED his team won as many games as they did because they had to be the WORST offensive team he has EVER had!!!!

They couldn't fall out of a boat and hit water!!!!

Crazy that he put together a team so offensively inept when he built his ENTIRE reputation on scoring and utilizing the 3 pt'er.

Hate that Cal won, but I STILL have a WHOLE LOT of animosity for Rick.

Good lord

The guy that has a losing record to calipari?

Pope is in his first year, with a team he put together in a month and had like 7 top 15 wins.

There's a reason not many ppl want this job, op gave a prime example why.

We wanted to get ti the tournament and win a game this hear, and you lunatics have convinced yourselves it's title or bust in yr 1

Pope & Pitino have losing records against Cal
Interesting

Fair point but you can have talent and not be athletic enough. We have two athletes on the team in Oweh and Chandler. We get beat off the dribble so much and have opponents in our faces enough that leads me to believe that. We also hesistate on a lot of open looks which allows the defense to make up some ground. Those issues may not get corrected this season but I have no doubt that we will get those kind of ball players in the future. With all that being said, given our limitations I'm of the mind that had we stayed healthy that we would be a very good team.

I think the issues he's talking about have nothing to do with athleticism, either. Standing there and watching rebound after rebound go to the other team, has nothing to do with talent or athleticism. It's something that should have be addressed earlier in the season, and it's still an issue.

the mental gymnastics this board displays to justify their hatred of cal is hilarious.

Pitino has to get him some 3-point sharpshooters in the portal for next season.

 

[billoliver40]

don’t let your hatred blind you from the fact he’s leaps and bounds better than our coach and any of the coaches you mentioned. Prove to me he’s not.

Is his team still playing?
Pitino was not an option.

Thank you Ellen. Now go home to your narcissistic husband.

This has nothing to do with Cal. Rick has won one NCAA tourney games in two years. He was never the right choice to come back to Kentucky 10 years past his prime.

 

[Nuke99m]

He coaches circles around all of these clowns and you all know it’s true. We would have won a title within 2-3 years guaranteed.

Who else here is man enough to admit it?

I'm sure the OP is telling his Arkansas buddies how he got the UK board. Probably even called it KU because he/she/it doesn't know any better.

No mental gymnastics, just facts Mrs Calapari.

 

[ace on the river]

And yet, Cal out coached him again today

this

best statement of the day.

win win all the way around. NO More Pitino and St. John's. I could care less about Cal now that he is gone. He was done at Kentucky. I'm really happy to have coach Pope. The future here is very bright.

 

[KMKAT]

The time to have hired Pitino was when he left Boston. They should have come up with a deal to buy Tubby out. It was a huge misstep.

SOS will always be there for us. He's right you know.

 

[KMKAT]

He’s 700’years old. You don’t hire Pitino. You try and hire the next Pitino

Wouldn't that be Richard? Not sure that would have gone over very well.

No.
