Since Kentucky missed out on both Freeman and Rancik, feels like they are in take top backup option left, and then try to convince Graves or Momcilovic to come back to college or re-kick the tires on Murauskas. None of the 3 are likely, but it’s the position UK is in. #BBN
NEWS: Syracuse transfer Donnie Freeman has committed to St. John's, sources told ESPN. One of the best players left in the portal, Freeman averaged 16.5 points and 7.2 rebounds this past season, earning honorable mention All-ACC honors. Big pickup for Rick Pitino.
With UNC and potentially Kansas coming open, Kentucky really needs Pope to be dominant next year. Two top coaching options will be off the board soon. Bad time to get the hire wrong 2 years ago. #BBN
Just a tough season. Team had its moments but overall was flawed, had injuries and just couldn’t piece it together. Make or break season for Pope next year. #BBN
It is what it is. Kentucky just hasn’t been good enough all year. Pope should be going into a do or die 3rd season. Going to be tough with no current incoming talent. #BBN
Just watch where the Iowa State players’ hands are when guarding.
It is something like this *everytime*, which whatever that’s bad, but let the boys play.
But a whisper is a foul on the other end. That’s where this gets ridiculous.
Kentucky also has to do a better job of handling the press at half court. Picking up their dribble too often. It’s hard to find an escape at that point. #BBN
Every time Kentucky goes on a run, refs start calling a tight whistle on UK and letting Iowa State continue to be physical. Just can’t call the game like that. Flipped the game twice that half. #BBN
These basketballs are flying off the rim. Insanely over inflated. Crazy how different it gets in the tournament. Regardless, Kentucky showing all their flaws early. #BBN
Kentucky fought once again but just doesn’t have enough to beat Florida. Kentucky had to be perfect and they haven’t been for 3 straight games against them. On to the big tournament. #BBN
