I was at that game in 2019!! Tennessee was ranked #1 and was on a long winning streak. My husband is from Knoxville and is a Vols fan. He got us tickets to that game for Valentine's Day that year and we got to spend the weekend in Lexington, went to Game Day, and then we beat Tennessee GOOD and Rupp was amazing that night!!!! One of the best things was when we were at Game Day, my husband had a Tennessee jacket on and of course I was in UK gear. The Wildcat saw us, ripped the jacket off my husband, and shook his finger at me like "shame on you for being with this guy"! 😂 It was awesome!
I'm really tired of the critique that there are no pros on this roster. After watching many years of Cal teams, I can see with my own little eyes, that OO is gonna be a contributor at the next level.
Great comments about TP. He seriously has grown tremendously as a point guard in the last month. He's not a finished product yet defensively, but he definitely fills a critical role. And it keeps Jaxon from having to back up Lamont (who still isn't totally healthy himself), messing up the normal rotation.
Does anyone besides me get a little tired of the talking heads continue to say UK just doesn't have that one dude! Our boys are elite skilled players possessing high basketball IQ and excellent court vision. They are also elite team players. I thought teams win games not one dude! One more thing, Pope is already COY hands down.
Oweh had TWO plays where he just sort of lazily reached for a loose ball that the FL players dove after and got, not to mention he just stood there with the ball facing the defender who grabbed it right out of his hands and went the other way. I have never seen that before
Perry is darty. He’s not great yet, can’t run the offense like Butler, of course, but he throws them off with his dartiness. It’s like a Travis Ford all over the court. Perry did his best and did not get down on himself when they scored on him.
We DROPPED 40 points in defensive efficiency in kenpom to 92. We are not going to score 106 against many top ten teams. The defense HAS to get better. I am not sure what the issue is because the effort is clearly there, and we have phenomenal individual defenders. I will concede that yesterday the refs HANDED Florida 15-20 points by giving them phantom fouls on EVERY drive and even jump shots, especially in the last ten minutes, and not calling the muggings on our end, and blowing possession calls, so maybe that's an aberration, but no team has won a title with a defensive efficiency number as bad as ours. Pope HAS to stop this stoic act on the sidelines and blast refs for f'ing horrible calls. The squeaky wheel DOES matter
@@kentuckyman21 Maybe you missed the part where we dropped FORTY points, and are almost out of the top 100. You can definitely talk about defense, especially when Auburn or TN holds them to 70 or less. No team has won the title with a defensive efficiency of 30 or worse
Who has an update on Wilson? He posted Cadeau's shot on his ig yesterday and I also seen that he follows unc too. Would hate to see him go somewhere else, he'd be great in Pope's offense
What are you talking about? Did he say this after their beating at UT? The one where they missed 23 threes, out rebounded by 22, couldn't stop straight line drives and defend in bound passes?
Shawn should agree that TP looks more comfortable on the floor like the game has slowed down for him we all know TP is a elite player on offense but it's on defense that most players struggles coming from HC an on def will show if TP is ready cause he's has improved and it doesn't look like the moment is 2 big for him pope is looking for TP 2 run the off get everybody in the right spot an not B a reliability on defense just like with kobe elite shooter but struggled on def at the beginning of the season an has improved a lot it why he's getting more & more mins

I push for the best players 2 B on the floor whoever gives us the best CHANCES at WINNING like last yr cal had his 2 most explosive players best shooter's coming off the bench now it's not like Reed or Rob was a reliability on defense cause they wasn't but that's the past
@Syrin23 I don't put a lot of stock into the +/- stat for a example look at ANSLEY ALMONOR a +20 and Done nothing besides grabs a few rebounds I think he had 1 point off a free-thro but you see my point
@@mickcarter3613 Yeah, I agree it's a very misleading stat by itself, but it could mean he was playing great defense on someone who couldn't score while he was in the game.
Arkansas doesn't play Illinois twice it's LSU & Missouri and what a brake of a schedule for cal and the B honest i never liked the hiring of cal I'm thankful for the good ys but I'm glad he's gone and with this NARRATIVE that UK will never B A top program again after cal was just IGNORANT NO 1 coach made UK or BBN we R bigger than any coach or player that's was CAL'S problem his ego i don't know how the man fits into his car with that BIG OF A HEAD with Pope he knows what it means 2 play here what it is 2 B UK 2 BBN the name on the jersey should means something with A HISTORICAL TRADITION like UK it's not just a game it's in R blood it's a lifestyle here in KY
I’m a Kentuckian transplanted to Michigan. While now used to ‘pouring snow’, praying for my Kentucky friends.
They fed off of Otega’s effort. It changed everything. The guy is determined. Love him 😺

Hahaaaa that’s awesome 😅!
Super happy with the win and super jealous of your big snow storm! I know most people hate it but I love snow! 🌨️
Unfortunately it’s an ice storm.

Preach
I loved that version of Williams. If that guy shows up going forward, we're going to be tough to beat. We have to figure out how to rebound though.

Block outs and rebounds
Talk about valuing possessions. I’m 59. I can’t remember a team that treats every possession like it’s the most important like this team does
Definitely the mustache 😂
Unbreakables or Unbelievables 💙🏆GOO CATS
Good podcast

You need to have Stephen on the show more

Dude that was incredible offense you can't really talk about defense in a game like that. Both teams played at a high level.

We definitely belong because if we cut those off rebounds and second chance points in half we beat a top 10 team by 20. GO BIG BLUE!!!
Yal are forgetting Tony Delk in the national championship
Absolutely love the show! BBN4LIFE
Love youse

Rebounding is UK's weakness and I'm not sure it will improve. They just have to get stronger in other areas to counteract like free throw shooting.
What got me was cal saying we had two or three no shows
What are you talking about? Did he say this after their beating at UT? The one where they missed 23 threes, out rebounded by 22, couldn't stop straight line drives and defend in bound passes?
His exact words was the same old "You don't have to make them all , you just can't miss them all"
@@Syrin23 yes, he said thery didnt do a shot around but that two or three didn't even show up for team breakfast.
@@TonyBrowning-v2v Noce, lol!

Harlan county sucks, roads are horrible and school has already been canceled uggggg lol… GO FREAKING CATS!!!!!
I love Pope, LOVE this whole team. But this league is a 2 month death match. They’re going to lose some and it’s going to be fine.
