Apparently they are without three rotation players. Not sure how good they are but sounds like they should be getting reinforced at some point. Tonight was … not good for them lol.

Only 1 of those guys is in their top 7. And he was their 4th leading scorer. Not a reason to lose by 35 at home. Ike and Huff dominated them. At least we out scored them in the 2nd half! . Something is off in Lexington. 5-4 with zero quality wins.

That 15 point loss to Gonzaga is looking better in light of Kentucky's 30 point loss to them.

They’re 0-4 against teams with a pulse.

Oweh needs good shooters around him to be successful. He’s not POY. And Garrison is nothing special.

How much was Gonzaga’s roster compared to Kentucky’s?

Their fan base was ecstatic to run Calipari out of town. Be careful what you wish for.

I agree. His winning percentage was like 80%. Maybe there needed to be a change but I was shocked with how happy some Kentucky fans were acting when he was gone.

I didn’t realize Mark Pope had never won a tournament game before last season

A change was only needed because Calipari got burned out at Kentucky...mostly because of the demanding fan base. I hope they like their new head coach because I'm pretty sure Arkansas likes their new head coach.

I'll admit to being a bit partial toward Calipari ever since I attended the OU-UMass game in Springfield, MA in January of 1992 (pre Marcus Camby). UMass won by low double-digits, but the game was never competitive. I just developed a lot of respect after seeing first-hand how well-coached that team was.
