Fire Pope. 😭yes I said it

Immediate concerns (re: Kentucky) -Athleticism and physicality (seemingly) were at a premium when constructing this roster...yet athleticism and physicality have been glaring issues versus Louisville & Michigan State. -Shooting. You are what you shoot and this team is shooting 31.9% from 3 through five games. -Two of your three returning pieces (Otega Oweh and Brandon Garrison) have not only not improved, but appear to have taken steps BACK (at least so far). Oweh, the SEC Preseason POY, is 8-25 with 6 turnovers versus Louisville & Michigan State. There are some more abstract concerns: chemistry, offensive identity, etc...but those three listed above are more easily seen and/or quantifiable. It is November 18th and it is "just two games." However, the data points haven't been pretty so far. There is reason for concern in the moment.
