3-0..

Hopefully Pope found his 5 today.

JQ was better than advertised. Thought Lowe was done for the year, Paul Pierce like second half performance out of the locker room. ( If you know you know)

Gonzaga was a embarrassment, just like the Kansas Pitino 50 point beat down. Perhaps one day we look back to that loss and pinpoint where it all changed.

Today's win also solidified another thing, elite talent still wins games , recruiting top players is still a must...

Lowe
Oweh
Williams
Dioubate
Quaintance

There’s our best five right now.

Now we have a second five with guys that have had to step up and play major minutes now in supporting roles.

Aberdeen
Johnson
Chandler
Garrison
Moreno

Plus Noah.

But what happened to Jelavic?

I am Jelavic fan but I don't think he fits in Pope's plans. Who knows, could be a attitude problem we are not aware of, I have no idea. Seems he would fit Pope's system but something is off.


As for thestarting 5, i have felt Chandler is better suited as a scoring option off the bench.

I hope Pope found his 5 today and allows them to play and gel for extended minutes together..

Agreed about Chandler.

His shooting is off for some odd reason, but his form is pure. He’s rushing a bit, I feel.

Got to get him going and then he can be a deadly weapon off the bench for us.

I think he can be that Kerr spark plug off the bench. We need a scorer off the bench looking to score and he's not shy about it..

Glad to see Pope make the adjustment from being a finesse shoot 3 type of coach to a more physical smash mouth basketball team with the roster he has. Glad he finally saw it for what it really is this year..

I still hope this off-season he brings in some muscle on the bench with his coaching staff. He needs some one to be the bad guy and do the dirty work that can relate to these players.

When Calipari lost Strickland then Robic then Tony B., Antigua ,it went down hill fast.

Duke has been good keeping it in house over the years. Would love to see a few alumni on the bench.

Even with recruiting, not sure if he still has it but Pelphrey helped Donovan back in the day. Can Rondo recruit? Wall?

Anyone know how to update the title of this thread?

Bring on the Fightin' Bellarmines!

Bring on the Fightin' Bellarmines!

Yes sir.

Not going to lie, been on a war path the past month or so but i finally saw and felt something good in that St. John's game.

Ol Matt Dillon was right, I may be leading the charge on the rah rah rah cheerleading squad but it is what it is, ready for Kentucky basketball to be relevant again. Not just the preseason hype and all that jazz, but the overall past 10 years of bs since the 2015 Wisconsin crap that we have had to deal with. It's time to dominate college basketball again..


On a side note, really haven't chimmed in on the JMI dealings but based off my gut feeling and what I have read, I don't like it all, hope it gets canceled and voided somehow someway...

[KentuckyWild2020]

4-0..

Chaulk this up as a win against Bellarmine with 5 to go..


Let's keep it going.....

[KentuckyWild2020]

A win against Alabama Tennessee Vanderbilt would ease the pain of the early season let downs but a win against Arkansas would make it all come together and be forgiven..

In order to accomplish this the Cats must play defense that they showed against St John's. I think the offense will take care of itself.
