"Onetime Kentucky one-and-done star DeMarcus Cousins didn't hold back on his opinion on social media: "Can't lie...this uk team has no heart! This is hard to watch smh" Kentucky coach Mark Pope took no issue issue with Cousins' opinion and took the blame to himself. "As a former player, I'm pissed at the coach, too, and that's just all deserved," Pope said."
"The Wildcats missed their first 10 shots and first seven outside the arc. The Wildcats shot so poorly that Gonzaga's Graham Ike made more buckets inside the arc (10) than Kentucky (nine). Kentucky wound up 16-of-60 (26.7%) and 7-of-34 (20.6%) from 3-point range. Asked if Wildcats were trying to do too much to help, Pope said it was more being indecisive: "It's all coming from me. It's on me.""
Kentucky has lost consecutive games and three of its last five, falling to 5-4 after a 94-59 loss to No. 11 Gonzaga. The team started cold, missing its first 10 shots and first seven 3-point attempts, finishing 16-of-60 (26.7%) and 7-of-34 (20.6%) from deep. Gonzaga outscored Kentucky 46-18 in the paint and outrebounded them 43-31. Fans booed at halftime and exited early after a 43-20 first-half deficit. DeMarcus Cousins called the team heartless on social media, and coach Mark Pope accepted responsibility and vowed to fix the issues.
