    Reset 0-0 , new season begins tonight..

    As much as Pope has lost my trust, I still feel he can coach the greatest season of his life and turn this around. Would love for that to happen not only as a UK fan, but I truly do want to see Pope succeed, he's a great person on and off the court, he is our guy, just needs to weather this storm..

    My personal opinion which doesn't mount to a hill of beans, I think this team and roster is suited to drive the basketball and attack the rim which means we have to get Lowe and JQ in the lineup. Very hopeful POPE picks 5 and let's it roll. You don't come out unless you are tired or in foul trouble. We need a solid 5 who can gel and get some rhythm on the court, no more 500 subs a game, nobody has rhythm or knows what's going on. Personally I prefer Lowe, Oweh, JQ, and two shooters Chandler and AJ. That's my five and I am sticking to it...

    Good luck tonight, Go CATS!!!!

    I'd prefer a tighter rotation as well. I don't think Pope can help himself, though. I don't trust him as our head coach anymore. I'm not sure the damage is fixable at this point.

      Well it’s fixable. Probably not this season though. Frowning emoji.

        I don't trust him either but trying to be a good fan and support. Still, I know what you mean, he has to earn my trust back..

          I don’t think it’s fixable. But I also think Pope is the coach for at least 3 seasons if not more.


          So I just hope we win more than we lose. I’m sure Kansas is going to overtake us again. Maybe even this season?


          Maybe if JQ plays he can push that back.

            We're about to find out if Pope is about action or just giving us lip service.

            “Well, it’s been rough,” Pope said. “It’s a major overhaul, reconstruction. It’s been super emotional and really taxing, and at times, really ugly and violent and growing and crying and all the stuff. There’s a certain amount of gnashing of teeth that goes on when you’re not functioning well, the way that we should. So it’s been really challenging, exactly as it should be, and it’s a fight.”

            I don't think we have enough to be an elite team, but we certainly can be a heck of a lot better than currently; but it's going require some difficult decisions from the staff. Lets hope they are willing to do it and not worry about hurt feelings.

                O-O lol lol lol

                I do know one thing, the word is out. Every sports outlet social media across the board is zeroed in on this situation. Pope definitely in the pressure cooker now..

                  Pope is learning a lot about the head basketball coach at the University of Kentucky. I want him to succeed.

                    This is true.

                    Unfortunately UK basketball never sleeps, I hope this works out.
