@MattSakR2NG @pelsyear I like BG a lot when he is locked in. We just have to limit the moments where he does lazy things or loses his guy on defense

@pelsyear People gonna be down on Malachi but think he is a legitimate all sec center next year
And if BG plays like this, there is not a better backup center available in the portal
Low key agree

Can’t believe I’m saying this but barring a complete stinker on Sunday I think I want to run this center duo back.
This has now been a month+ of Garrison rebounding and blocking shots at a high level

@Kelseys_army Luckiest team in history yet we have been without two starters for most of the year?? The math ain’t mathing here.

Kentucky is the luckiest team in history and it's not even close.

Iowa State star Joshua Jefferson was helped off the floor and into the locker room after this play. He got X-rays, per the broadcast and was announced as doubtful to return.

@mattbsugg @WildcatsTongue I mean if that is the angle (albeit fair), us not having Robinson last year and Butlers bum shoulder provide justification that we had a better team than just sweet 16. But that would be giving Pope more credit which a lot of people seem to avoid. Not saying you are.
English
@WildcatsTongue Well. The Richie Saunders injury may have impacted the team a bit…

BYU losing to an 11-seed in the NCAA Tournament?
It's like Mark Pope never left.

@FlyinStallion @rarerookies He can't win period cause he's not good

Mark Pope was asked about Yaxel: "I know you guys have to come out of here with a headline, I'm not gonna give it to you."
The media: "Mark Pope refuses to answer the Yaxel question. Strange not to answer. Is Mark Pope on the hot seat? Very poor response by Pope. Big failure."
English
@nolanuky27 It’s pretty wild. There are zero positives to him engaging in that.
English
@FlyinStallion And not going to war through media with a player. Way too many people want that from him.
English
My brother in Christ we play a game tomorrow and have zero high school recruits next year. LOCK IN.

Mark Pope: " If I was going to tell you the percent of stuff that was actually reported accurately, it would probably be in the five percentile. It's just an interesting time in the world" "There's craziness swirling around, but that's the circus that comes with Kentucky"
English
@RoushKSR Pretty quick to take offense there. Does his comment resonate with you in a negative way?
English
The story about Yaxel was written by the AP. Matt Norlander of CBS reported UK’s rev-share split. The Herald-Leader’s Ben Roberts reported the $22 million roster number.
Those people aren’t posting in their underwear from their basement.

Mark Pope was asked about a quote from Yaxel Lendeborg that he was offered between $7-9 million by Kentucky He doesn’t answer the question and does media commentary instead
English
It’s a lose lose situation for everything this guy does lmaoooo if he spoke on it it would be twisted against him that way too

Prolly not gonna place a lot of bet this March Madness. But I’ll drop a free lock for you guys.

@JonMoore192 Don’t come at people with facts. It detracts from the narrative.
English
The Kentucky Wildcats only have a 1% CHANCE to win the 2025 NCAA Tournament, according to @KalshiSports. 😬
English
@JBRBracketology You think they could make a run or do you think Iowa State would be too much of a hurdle? Key word being could (March Madness aside).

Final Four Contenders, using pre-NCAA Tournament KenPom data since 2001:
91.7% were Top 30 overall in KenPom
92.7% were Top 26 in Offense - OR - Defense
88.5% were Top 40 in Offense
88.5% were Top 46 in Defense
-Potential for more chaos: MIDWEST & SOUTH
-Likely to be more chalk: WEST
-Notable omissions: All four 4 seeds, as well as Big East Champ St. John's

@FatDuck2014 @KentuckyF34638 We have better guys than him (on paper)

@KentuckyF34638 Overpaying for guys like this is how we got into the situation this year

@b_shane_taylor @PStevensKSR Poor* and he hasn’t had a single loss as the coach at Kentucky to any team like UNC-Wilmington, Evansville, St. Peter’s, Oakland, etc. You obviously do not know basketball if you are lumping any loss we have had under him with the truly bad losses in the past.
English
@PStevensKSR he says he gets BBN. he is far from it. it had been downhill since his press conference. only a few nice wins but easy over shadowed but some of the most poss pour loses in my lifetime
English
What tone? What in the world is Mark Pope talking about?
Jack Pilgrim@JackPilgrimKSR
Kentucky had a longstanding annual tradition of hosting a Selection Show party. Mark Pope ended it this year -- but for good reason, he believes. "I think it set the tone for us to give ourselves the best possible chance to make a magical run here." on3.com/teams/kentucky…
English
@TrillHawk @Cincitucky1 He just spoke on a radio show…
English
@Cincitucky1 Is he currently in hiding? As far as I’m aware we haven’t heard anything from him regarding the tournament and our seeding lol
English
I just can’t believe how bad the Pope era has gotten so fast
English
@pattrogg @therandomsec This dude is an Arkansas fan. He has been trying to provide a more balanced take after being called out for his bias earlier in the season. Definitely not a UK fan.
English
People keep trying to pin this Kentucky Santa Clara as an easy upset pick. I just don’t see it. I get Kentucky has vulnerabilities but there’s just no way.
