Mark Pope recaps Kentucky's 82-69 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs

[@05grandmarquis]

We didn't play great but 38 free throws to 19 is why we lost

[@vincentbarrett5282]

Facts 👌

[@Syrin23]

That and because Jaxson sucked, and Carr sucked. We missed damn near 20 threes. And Pope never complains to the refs about their shit calls. He might as well go over and give them a high five.

[@danielritchie3465]

Free throws disparity sucked for sure, but if KY just made their average % from their shots, we still would have won with that disparity. That's the big reason we didn't win. We were like 37% from the field or something like that on 2s, if we were at 47% and a few less turnovers that shouldn't have happened, we would have won.

[@Beef_Boloney]

I’m not saying the reason we lost was foul calls, but if you go back and watch play by play, how many plays did we have that blew up because of a no call foul? It’s hard to finish at the rim when your feet are being taken out from under you or you’re getting slapped in the back. Idk, it was wild to see the way we came out the gate, out hussling and out playing them and then the whistle started. Imagine how frustrating it is to get fouled hard, not get the call, then go down the other end of the court and before all 5 guys are in the half court a fouls called. Maybe I’m biased? But hell even at home against Florida, they shot 11 or 12 more free throws than us in Rupp! I guess it’s always been this way, UK has to just out class and outscore everybody, away or at home.

[@Southernly]

Kept them in the game, same as FL

[@Wetrockstah2116]

Can't hold this loss against them, there wasn't anything they could do to win this game because it was obvious from the jump the officials were not gonna let them. The stretch in the first half when UGA went up was totally massaged in by the refs in how they called it. When are people going to wake up and realize that there is some major corruption in SEC officiating, not only basketball, but football as well..

We're not uber talented, so our margin for error is thin. We have to shoot lights out, like vs. Florida, because we can't rebound consistently.

[@mllruss1]

It's called laziness. They play at the level of the competition. Saw that a lot under Cal...

[@Syrin23]

Jaxson Robsinson needs to be benched for LONG stretches. When he sucks, he REALLY sucks. How about when he was underneath that basket, NO ONE within 5 feet of him, and he PASSED it out for a brick three? WTF?!?! And our bigs are SO timid on the inside. They get DEEP post up position with the ball, and instead of going up and getting the foul and one, they look scared and either turn it over or manage to pass it back out. Carr was another no show. You can tell if we are going to win or lose by watching how Robinson and Carr are playing in the first five minutes. Timid and scared = loss

[@Beef_Boloney]

I think the post play was an experiment for the bigs to find open 3 point shooters, it’s just not how they’re designed to play tho, you have to develop a player like BG for a couple of years to get a big that can no look pass to an open corner or wing 3. No big deal, it didn’t work out, we have to win the way these boys know how, it’s not time to reinvent the wheel with seniors that play the way they play. I knew this game was doomed when Williams got shoved when he shot that hook shot that missed in the first few minutes of the game, easy foul call for a 1-1, he was in the air shooting and got shoved out of the way causing him to miss the hook, after that it was a free for all on our bigs and littles, every play there were multiple no call fouls only to see GA shoot free throws on the other end and UK bigs fouled out or called for a flop flagrant. Lesson learned.

[@bshayc79]

1. We gave up too many offensive rebounds again 2. We passed up at least 5 really good shots at the basket for worse shots or no shot 3. Refs were bad/foul trouble/free throw differential 4. Jaxson was terrible on both ends of the court. And it ain't the first time. 5. We made it way too easy for Georgia to make and catch passes. Waited WAY too late to up the pressure.

[@Beardlovesdog]

The rythem was not normal for this team in my opinion. The were not taking the 3's early and them bulldogs played super slow. I have no doubts we will beat them in Rupp. However its a loss in league play which is tough. Our guys need to be ready from the jump. Maybe the travel fatigued there start. I suggest leaving about 4 hours earlier and making sure the team gets a chance to warm up well. Just my 2 cents. travel takes energy away from the body. So the more time the players have to get ready for a road game at the location the better.

The refs are showing us that this year they will be calling tick, tack fouls on the Cats this year. Notice in both the Florida and Georgia games, the refs blew their whistles after the shot hit the rim, as if they're waiting to see if the ball was going in first. Coach Pope has to warn the players of the games these teams are playing. Great strategy by the Georgia coaching staff. They created a very sloppy, and aggressive game flow which the Cats couldn't figure out. ...Georgia, made a clean game muddy, slimmy and awkward. Coach Pope wasn't ready for this type of play

Can anyone name those games and years played?. I will name at least four games starting with Texas Western and the 1966 Title game won by Texas Western 72-65 that shot 34 free throws to UK's 13 . UK verses North Carolina 1977 a year in which UK had the best team in the nation and lost in the elite 8 79-72 when North Carolina shot a whopping 36 free throws to UK's 18. And the last two 1997 loss to Arizona in overtime the championship game where Arizona outscored UK 34-9 at the free throw line. The last game was John Calipari's undefeated team in 2015 that lost 71-64 to Wisconsin in the final 4 in a game full of bad calls with Wisconsin shooting 22 free throws to UK's 10.

I like Pope’s philosophy and his system and style of play. But I don’t think he’s putting individuals in the best position to succeed because he’s making everyone only play one position on the court. I think he needs to let guys shift positions. IE If our center subs put in Brea and let Carr play 5 and Robinson play 4. This would give Brea more minutes and Robinson in better match ups allowing him to get his offense going. But he continues to restrict guys to one position and subs that ways as well.

Ohweh and Butler tried to do it all and came close. Yeah, the Refs were bad and seemingly biased at times but Ky made a bunch of brainless fouls. Had a backcourt foul and several pushing and hand fighting fouls. Just making it difficult to win with unnecessary fouls. Keep playing getting open shots and rely on your shooting...play WINNING basketball!!!

Not playing loose, have fun, home and away. Started the season playing free, No more no look passes, skip passes etc. No passes in post being kicked out to moving shooters.

Things got too serious for them

[@jt1765]

They’ll get it back.. or not

[@basementfridge840]

While I agree somewhat, let’s be real, those happened way more often in the early season because we were playing cupcakes lol. Way more difficult against solid defenses. They aren’t the avengers. But yeah, they do just look stiff on the road.

[@natet5959]

Pope looks hurt. Hope there aren't too many more games like this one. If so, Pope will look like an old man at the end of the season.

When you take away, Home Court advantage Kentucky becomes just a little below average

[@Sbailey1879]

They've won two neutral site games against top ten teams. Can't really say that. Inconsistent I would say. When they're firing on all cylinders and playing decent defense they can hang with anyone.

[@Sbailey1879]

That being said, with the way the SEC is this year id venture to say road wins are going to be somewhat of a rarity. And not just to KY.

0-2 SEC and a big ol goose egg for top 10 wins. Choose your spots better. This is too easy, it’s not even fun.

@@Sbailey1879none of them are good trolls. All they do is contradict themselves. One of them actually complained that we lost to Oakland last year and that Arkansas was better because of that. Who the heck do you think put that team together and babysat them??? YOUR OWN COACH!!! They punk themselves
