Kentucky fans express anger over Kansas loss on social media

Tuesday night in Chicago was supposed to be the beginning of Mark Pope’s redemption, and Kentucky basketball was supposed to be back. At the end of the night, the Wildcats had been blown out by Kansas 89-69, Pope had no answers, and Big Blue Nation was angry.

Kentucky started hot, but early foul trouble for Malachi Moreno led to a Kansas run that the Cats never recovered from. Milan Momcilovic never got going, and scored just 5 points. Alex Wilkins also struggled. Kentucky turned the ball over too much, failed to find any flow on offense, and even shot poorly from the free throw line. It was a performance reminiscent of last season’s struggles against good non-conference teams.

It wasn’t just the offense that struggled either. Kansas moved the ball quickly, and Kentucky defenders simply couldn’t keep up. Rotations were slow, and they were beaten repeatedly by cuts to the paint. Rebounding was also an issue.

Once the game was over, the Wildcats limped back to Kentucky with more questions than answers. Fans, however, wasted no time in expressing their ire at the way things played out. Here are some of the reactions on X.
