I'm not even going to try to analyze this game. Just going to immerse in the happiness of having the program I love playing the style of basketball that made me fall in love with UKBB in the first place!
Man I'm so excited about this team I'm flooded with memories of the 90s with pitino team's it's exciting 2 B A fan again watching Mark pope come in & bring BBN back together so we can support R team there fun too watch it's a uptempo off physical on both sides of the ball 3 point shooting cuts screens curls it's fun too be a fan for both teams boys & girl's best hires of the yr mark pope Kenny brooks
Before you throw to much shade towards Cal, you should go back and see just how low UK was when he took over! We were the laughing stock of the ncaa under Billy Clyde and real close to going down a IU path! It was time for both sides to move on but don’t act like Cal didn’t do a good job for us
The real basketball minds knew this teams potential most media had them behind on some bad teams but some outlets had them top 15 Dicky V has Kentucky as one of his teams that can win a national championship
I love watching every game but man I can’t wait to see what there like In the middle of January like the ball movement is amazing now and it’s not even close to where they will be
I would love if we all/everybody would kill it with the compliments to the new era couple with backhanded insults to Cal and his squads. That is not necessary. Cal brought us back from sucking to great again. He and his squads were beloved and great for a long time. We/he fell off a little and he had the insight to move on, on his own, which saved the school what, $30m or whatever the buyout was. That helped the university and its ability to move forward greatly. So in short, quit hating on the guy. Appreciate what he and his teams did (and didn’t do) and move on. We now have a new era. Let us show some grace, live in the moment, appreciate what we have now, and support Coach Pope and our new era/teams with positivity and hope and enthusiasm. There is no need whatsoever to drag Cal, or anybody else from the past thru the mud in doing so. BBN! One love! Hope in Pope!!! Go ‘Cats!!!
Well said. Cal brought the funnest basketball experience I've had in my younger life. I was not old enough to appreciate what Pitino was doing at that time. 2013-2014 is my favorite team.
@@Pogocapalot fax especially since Texas a&m lost to ucf, they sleeping on Kentucky which is good in my opinion. I think we can beat Duke in our 3rd game
For the first time playing a regular season game together, I saw a couple of miscommunications that will work itself out with time. Didn't see near as many as I expected to. This team will continue to improve and be very scary when March rolls around. This is a very experienced and physical. Really fun to watch as a fan. 7 turnovers vs 30 assists. Very impressive.
it you watched basketball all over the country, what you saw was, Kentucky is far more advanced than teams ranked ahead of them. and teams like Alabama, have problems when their whole team kinda falls apart if you can slow down Mark Sears...
Good start so far. Just wish some KY fans would stop bashing on Cal in the comments section (i.e. loss to TCU). He's got a squad at Arkansas. He saved our program from deep despair with Billy Clyde. I've hope in Pope.
I like our team but let’s hold off with all the best SEC team talk until after next week! Then we will have a more accurate view of this team! I’m not even as much concerned about beating DUKE as just seeing how we stack up against a legitimate team
I am not as excited as the rest of UK fan base. Lot of good here but a lot of problems too. Communication problems. Shot selection at times... Remember too this is not an elite team. Duke game will tell us where we sit. I don't expect a win but we need to see how they do against superior raw talent. I expect them to do well in certain areas but can they play complete for 40 minutes. Play like today and there are areas where will underperform by 10 minutes. That could hurt us. Looks like a much better team than I expected. I like that.
I enjoy watching your videos and pretty well watch all of them! But Ease up with saying you predicted what would or would not happen. You do a great job when just telling what happened. We do not need a recap of what you predicted a couple shows before. I do mean that constructively and not trying to be negative towards your videos at all
Umm I see amari Williams developing into a lottery pick he's basically a bigger bam adebayo lil more skilled I also watch duke some last night and I think we match up perfect with them it's gonna be a fun game to watch next Tuesday but we got Bucknell first I Wana see how we start against Bucknell but man this team is very good I like almanor I see him having a major role for this team and Robinson and brea are just shooting the hell outta that basketball it's very nice to have a solid nine guys even ten if needed so yea were gonna be fine and pope will win his first tournament game this year and then some
It’s not shocking at all Otega will lead the team in scoring a couple more times this year, if he’s our second option and Carr can be the 3rd or 4th that can make this team very dangerous also Lamont is a vet he can’t make those Archie Goodwin mistakes with wide open layups, just lay it in
I can say this its good to lnow that when the time comes for some one to make a play i lolk and i c right now six options tbat will go get a bucket when we need it i c alot of guys that can step up at any moment kansas dont have that ucon. Dont have seven dependable go to guys duke dont have that Tennessee dont have that and last but not least crapaparis razorbacks do not have such options so hey thats why we play the season and why we get better ever game. Brea and robinson amari almonor lamont kerr otega carr chandler and i can go on withh names that van step up at ny moment even my two kentucky boys will get the chance and they will step up thjs season its gonna be a special season.
Last year, in the beginning, we even mentioned the word, "platoon." Amongst the excitement, what will keep us from falling into the same mistakes as last year?
Calipari isn't mark pope there 2 totally different coaches cal really missed up bye not starting 2 of his best players in Reed & rob besides did you not listen too pope's press conference he said till the players get there conditioning right he will play 10 players but dude not every game will allow him 2 like against Duke how will it help us win if 2-3 players come in that maybe can score but not guard how just like pope said some games he can't

It's refreshing to watch an actual team play and execute.
You can see the happiness in every person in rupp arena truly special
I'm not even going to try to analyze this game. Just going to immerse in the happiness of having the program I love playing the style of basketball that made me fall in love with UKBB in the first place!
I love how if they made a mistake they get back on track without a timeout. That’s very impressive to me.

They took what the defense gave them ! I’m so glad we have a great coach and understands what it means to coach at Kentucky !!! BBN

This team is going to surprise people. Look Out SEC.

Oweh and Alminor, Breah, Butler pretty much everyone was impressive This team is better than Tennessee, and most of the SEC
Yeah i feel if we play smart and play disciplined we can win the sec
@@Pogocapalotnah I think we can have a chance to be 2nd bet not 1st because Alabama
@GoBigBlue15 def a possibility, why are we ranked so low tho? We will win against better teams all the time(by ranking)
@@Pogocapalot fax especially since Texas a&m lost to ucf, they sleeping on Kentucky which is good in my opinion. I think we can beat Duke in our 3rd game
@GoBigBlue15 i think we're more disciplined and we'll handle what they got just fine

30 to 7 ratio 😮 that’s coaching💙💙💙
30 assists on 39 FG
So KY is averaging 103 ppg!!!
it you watched basketball all over the country, what you saw was, Kentucky is far more advanced than teams ranked ahead of them. and teams like Alabama, have problems when their whole team kinda falls apart if you can slow down Mark Sears...
#13 Texas A&M lost
Whatever this year's outcome???!!!?? Better than 9 5 stars being slightly above average and early exits.
Good start so far. Just wish some KY fans would stop bashing on Cal in the comments section (i.e. loss to TCU). He's got a squad at Arkansas. He saved our program from deep despair with Billy Clyde. I've hope in Pope.
Yal catch that people we won by 41 mark pope jersey number his first game. How weird is that.
Not sure how Oweh leading us in scoring could be considered “shocking.”
I agree. He was actually the transfer that I was most excited about. Dude is a dog!!!
BOOOOOOM
If this team can function in half court down the stretch, top 10.
Lamont gotta not miss those layups, but I'm sure he'll get it nailed down
103 points with our projected top scorer only having 8 points. I'll take it.
I like our team but let’s hold off with all the best SEC team talk until after next week! Then we will have a more accurate view of this team! I’m not even as much concerned about beating DUKE as just seeing how we stack up against a legitimate team

Umm I see amari Williams developing into a lottery pick he's basically a bigger bam adebayo lil more skilled I also watch duke some last night and I think we match up perfect with them it's gonna be a fun game to watch next Tuesday but we got Bucknell first I Wana see how we start against Bucknell but man this team is very good I like almanor I see him having a major role for this team and Robinson and brea are just shooting the hell outta that basketball it's very nice to have a solid nine guys even ten if needed so yea were gonna be fine and pope will win his first tournament game this year and then some

Butler has a history of missing a lot of shots at the rim! I’m afraid it’s just who he is for some reason!
I love computer models. They f***ed up in college football. Computers and experts 💩 the bed on Vandy
This team is averaging 80 a game.
Easy
I can say this its good to lnow that when the time comes for some one to make a play i lolk and i c right now six options tbat will go get a bucket when we need it i c alot of guys that can step up at any moment kansas dont have that ucon. Dont have seven dependable go to guys duke dont have that Tennessee dont have that and last but not least crapaparis razorbacks do not have such options so hey thats why we play the season and why we get better ever game. Brea and robinson amari almonor lamont kerr otega carr chandler and i can go on withh names that van step up at ny moment even my two kentucky boys will get the chance and they will step up thjs season its gonna be a special season.
Garrison looked lost he was the only one
What were you watching?
amari needs to shoot better at d free throw line. He will be fouled all the time in d shadedlane
Last year, in the beginning, we even mentioned the word, "platoon." Amongst the excitement, what will keep us from falling into the same mistakes as last year?
its not necessarily a mistake, its just a problem the way that Calipari implemented it, but having it be as rigid as it was.
Calipari isn't mark pope there 2 totally different coaches cal really missed up bye not starting 2 of his best players in Reed & rob besides did you not listen too pope's press conference he said till the players get there conditioning right he will play 10 players but dude not every game will allow him 2 like against Duke how will it help us win if 2-3 players come in that maybe can score but not guard how just like pope said some games he can't
Different coach?
An actual coach !
Lol coach cal did that for the last ten yrs. Underperformed. New energy, game play and so on.
Time will tell.
Ken pom blows. They don't have any idea starting Kentucky so low in the rankings. I believe they are biased. Go Cats!!
First!
This team looks good but not great
No team looks great now but we're putting up more points than any team probably more steals and rebounds too.
The team as a whole had 30 assist
