On his message to fans who are down right now...
Pope cites growth and improvement the last two years. Says they've only played 5/56 games against P4 teams with a full roster. Notes that they still have a higher winning % in the last two years than the previous four, and it was done while playing a harder strength of schedule and facing really bad health misfortune. Clearly, we did not meet the standard, but we are making progress.

The school with the most Elite 8's in college bball has not made it to that round in 7 years now.
A school record 11-years without a 1-seed.
UK bball is experiencing it's worst 6-year run in school history.
That's not all Pope's fault, but it has never been this bad before.

"At the end of the day, I think the [Kentucky] fan base needs to temper their expectations, Mark Pope has this thing going in the right direction." - @itsbjtaylor

@bigbluegoose I’m also at a low. Over time, losing breeds apathy and I got to the point where I found other things to replace watching our basketball games this season. This is ultimately why I think we should move on from Pope.
English
Honestly, I’m at a low of my basketball fandom. I hope Pope has a plan next year. I just don’t have a ton of faith for next year. It wasn’t a “beautiful Ferrari”.

@KyleTuckerCBB 1) D - he gets some credit for last year Sweet 16
2) Must be good all season. Win SEC Championship. No less than Elite 8.

Curious where Kentucky fans stand after two years of Mark Pope. Sweet 16 last season, epic first-round win and second-round blowout loss this season.
1) Grade the Pope era so far.
2) What must happen next season to feel confident?
English
Mark Pope in 2 years at Kentucky:
46-26 Overall Record
20-16 SEC Record
3-2 SEC Tournament Record
1 Sweet Sixteen
1 Round of 32
Thoughts?
English
I didn’t have a lot of hope for a long March run but I expected better than a blowout loss to a team missing its best player. Just a huge disappointment in the last game of a roller coaster season.
English
Facts. I don’t know why so many people are gaslighting the fanbase into thinking Pope is the guy.

$22,000,000 to get smoked by a short handed Iowa St team Amazing!!! #BBN soft

@RowlandRIVALS I’ve gone from die-hard fan to the point where I’ve learned to live without basketball being a huge part of my life. I’m uninterested in losing basketball.

Thus ends Mark Pope's second season at Kentucky.
22-14 and the Round of 32.
What are your hot takes on the game, the season, the program's status?
English
@MattNorlander 🤡🤡🤡🤡 this is an unserious take. It took a buzzer beater to survive Santa Freaking Clara. We have no recruits. If UK was a serious program, we would make a change this year. Since when do we expect to lose to Iowa State?! We are bottom-feeders of the SEC and it shows.
English
Too much spent on a team that wasn't a Sweet 16 threat is an issue in that town, of course.
But: made S16 as a 3 last year. Also got Friday's all-timer juxtaposed against today's loss vs. a much better team. Wasn't expected to win. I think I'd go B overall for Pope two years in.

Kentucky fans, what's Mark Pope's grade through two seasons with Big Blue?
English
Two salutes though for the season. Otega Oweh was great the vast majority of the year and had one of the best two season performances in UK history
Denzel Aberdeen had a rough start but beginning with SEC play I thought he was excellent and honestly held the team together often

So many other programs have taken the necessary steps to commit to winning and UK chose the wrong path. It’s so disheartening
English
@colincowherd I don’t mean to be ugly, but his in-game decision-making and roster construction have been the furthest thing from “smart.” He is definitely a nice guy with a good heart but he is not an elite-level coach. Kentucky should make a change but it won’t because we tolerate mediocrity.
English
Mark Pope is a smart guy. Has great Kentucky ties. Was fantastic at BYU. But Iowa State is working his guys. Getting too many easy buckets in second half. Ugly look.

@DanWolken Pope should be fired. I’m a die-hard fan and became so uninterested after the non-conference that I barely watched the games this season.
English
I don’t think Mark Pope is or should be in trouble this year but this performance is going to leave a very very bad taste over the next eight months
