The amount of people online worked up about this is wild to me. He’s was the third or fourth best player on a team that nobody enjoyed watching go 22-14. Do I trust Pope can find someone better? Not sure. But for people to act like the whole world is collapsing because a moderate shooter who can’t guard a chair is leaving is unreal to me.

Where has this been reported officially? Not a word of it on ESPN or The Athletic.

It seems like the game has lost all luster. Any idea why?

I'm curious how this consolidation will affect the makeup of the region. At the last BOC meeting there was a proposal by the Floyd County schools to move Lawrence County out of their current district. Could the Bulldogs go back to the 16th?

I doubt Jasper will ever start at point guard anywhere and especially not backup at Kentucky. If he's back, that's fine, the same with Lowe. But if Pope is counting on Lowe next year then he has to go get a legitimate point guard to give valuable minutes. He can't wing it with the likes of shooting guards such as Aberdeen and Johnson and hope it works. It doesn't.

Big difference in "retired jersey" and "retired number." To my knowledge there are no retired numbers at UK.

This is where the new athletic director hire will be very interesting. If it’s one of Mitch’s boys does anything change?

You mean give Iowa State credit for playing hard and executing some semblance of a game plan?

That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.

Oweh only about two missed layups away from the all-time NCAA record, right?

One of the dumbest teams in basketball history. No basketball IQ for anyone.

Kentucky was up 20-9 when Pope did his “get everyone a chance to play.” Most notably, Jasper Johnson turned it over, missed a bad three, gave up a score on defense. Since then Iowa State has outscored UK 34-18. The entire season story can be written around terrible, terrible substitution patterns.
