Mark Pope says this is a learning, growing group, but they (the players) believe they can get better.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Kentucky players will not be talking to the media tonight.

[WT - Mase Enthusiast @WildcatsTongue]

IN HIS 52 POWER CONFERENCE GAMES, MARK POPE HAS TRAILED BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN 24 OF THEM

[Steven Peake @StevenPeakeKSR]

Kentucky has trailed by 17 or more in their last 4 games vs Top 25 competition.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

@TMDFadeZ Sad the rest of the team counsels show up for him. Besides the late Malachi rally

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Zoom Diallo two points off a career high tonight with 24.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

@GrandonBarrison For the first five minutes. Yes.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

This is only the third time in history Kentucky has lost to Kansas by 20 or more points. This is UK’s worst loss to the Jayhawks since 2006.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Milan Momcilovic getting his first three of the night with 6 minutes to go is not winning UK a single basketball game in its gauntlet schedule

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

and 14 turnovers...

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Kentucky has had 20 personal fouls. Unacceptable.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

I’m no coach, but I feel like leaving the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NBA draft wide open on every play is not a good strategy

[Myron Medcalf (Matt and Myron, 3-5p ET/ESPN Radio) @MedcalfByESPN]

Never seen anything like it before. Kentucky's Ousmane Ndiaye picked up three fouls in four minutes. Malachi Moreno on the bench with 2. Can't put yourself in that spot. That's not Mark Pope. That's players who have to make sure they're available and not picking up early fouls.

[Jeff Drummond @JDrumUK]

Best shooter in the country had 3 first-half shots.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Milan Momcilovic has not attempted a three this half.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

The most frustrating part is that this game is so incredibly winnable but Kentucky is shooting itself in the foot.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Milan needs to get it going. Now.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

@TristanUda @KyInsider This game? How about never again.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

I wish I could be in Mark Pope’s brain right now I am so confused

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

We got a lineup of Braydon Hawthorne, Mason Williams, Justin McBride, Reece Potter and Alex Wilkins on the court right now.
