UK itself is an awesome school with an awesome program just with the wrong fans that most of them didn’t even finish the 3rd grade. Notice I said “most” so if that doesn’t refer to you then good! But fans like yourself is the one and only problem. Thinking you should win every game is just unrealistic. Cal left bc of “fans” such as yourself…..I however think Mark Pope will do great at UK, but most of these fans were crying and wanting Cal fired and now they are crying bc they got pope, they are crying bc no one else wanted the dmn job.

Fire the AD, Mitch, or this never changes.

Cal always says, “You fans are crazy”. He’s exactly right, anyone that supports him as coach is crazy.

When you win its the players When you lose blame the coach.

I have no ties to kentucky basketball. Ive seen them all my life and they always have a good team. However, I believe that he has embraced the 1 and done philosophy. When you get to the tournament, you can't rely on young kids against smaller schools with older kids.

Can we all agree to just not go to games or watch them until Cal is gone?

Calipari allowed this team go the entire season and did not hold them accountable for not playing defense. If you're athletic on the offensive end, you can be athletic on the defensive side. That's discipline and desire to win. A lot of talent not great coaching.

CAL ruined Dillinghams mindset to play good ball. He was wanting Dillingham to fail all year

We need another coach

No you are wrong. Cal has embarrassed himself but also has embarrassed the School and fans.

He could make in game adjustments and convince Cal to do the right thing during a game. Cal is a great talker, great recruiter, subpar coach at best. He needs to leave. This can't be fixed at this point. The longer he's in Kentucky, the more toxic it's going to get. Lexington is ready to burn down the city. Cal is to arrogant and stubborn to see his own faults. It's never his fault in his mind.

Since Cal, we have been surpassed as the all time winningest program. No more Senior days. Hope Rupp Arena next season looks like the YUM Center this year….EMPTY SEATS!!!

Maybe get some players that will stay more than 2 years and develop them

UK always has a young team, and it wouldn't be fair to the players to hold them back; going to the NBA and getting the money right away just makes sense. These players can come back to college for the education anytime. Coach Cal used to say, "if you don't play then you are out" but that was not the case with this game. He should have pulled out non-players and put in someone who wanted to show up and take shots. Fans are angry, not sad or disappointed. This was a combination of missed coaching opportunities, an off night for some players, and Jack was on fire. We could have won this if subs were made as needed.
