No condescending rhetorical questions and no talk about how all the players are young and learning, just matter of fact answers and a sunny disposition. Welcome back coach!!
Yes, that is always an omen that ky want lose a game. What are we 5 years old saying? This stuff he's number and the points they win by, has nothing to do with each other. Damn you want a coach that is serious about his job, and these fans are always saying shit that doesn't matter damn quit making us look stupid
@@KerryCarson-r3n are you okay? Who hurt you? He never said it had any correlation. It was just a neat coincident stat that happened. Take a break from the internet, sounds like you need it.
Can I just say how refreshing it is to have someone so passionate and knowledgeable about the strategy of the game. I feel like every time I hear Coach Pope talk. I learned something new. I never knew even though I played basketball for years. Sounds like he’s got an amazing team and they are looking at every trackable data point possible which is so refreshing based on what we’ve had for the last several years.
I was one of those bitching and whining that first night after Mark was announced as the new coach, then I watched some BYU games and warmed up to the idea. The more I listen to him speak the more certain I am that we got the absolute best coach Kentucky could’ve hoped for. Yeah he’s UK cheerleader and bleeds blue but he’s also one hell of a coach with incredible attention to detail. We’re lucky to have him.
@captainmarvel9610 yes they are did you see locker room after game guys kinda of attacked him on the floor he said I'm pretty sure someone punched me and I know who it was locked room was really cool
@@josephwatts2904couple of big L’s for some sec teams tonight too. Those upsets like we saw against Unc Whoever last year are becoming more common for everybody. This is a team that definitely won’t have that problem.
I predict uk to finish 3rd in the sec. We have one of the toughest schedules this year. But I think come March madness uk will be deadly and could possibly run the table for #9
Pretty great 1st game of the season IMO. Certainly room for learning and growing. Rebounding and defense are a few areas that could be looked at early to improve. Still many, many games to work out the wrinkles. Offense was pretty dang good this early on. Great job to Coach Pope, staff, and the whole team. Keep up the hard work, BBN loves our Cats.
Coach Pope is an easy person to like, and I love his positive energy, transparency, and thoughtful answers to questions. This is going to be a fun season…he has assembled a great group of players and I LOVE the up tempo style and the defense creating offense. Thank you Coach!!
With Mark pope I'm excited about this season even the future this season can be special this is a good team and they will get better as they play together more an learn pope system it brings back memories of the 90s I love the uptempo the hard physical play style on both sides of the ball BBN ENJOY WHAT A GREAT HC
You noticed that too. How Mark Pope has brought back the Pitino style play that was used in the 90s here. EXCEPT modernized for today's world. 30 assists vs 7 turnovers. And 58% fg. And alot of steals and rebounds.
Been really impressed with how smooth Otega Oweh is. When people were talking about who Kentucky would be able to go to that can go get a bucket when they need it, nobody mentioned him. He looks like he can get to the rim whenever he wants and has enough of a jumper to keep the defense honest. Hopefully it lasts all season.
I think they played a dang good game. I think there were some rebounds that we shouldn’t have missed, and there were a few times when they got ahead of themselves on the home run stretch like Pope said. They maybe got too excited and threw some of their discipline out the window during a play that made a sloppy outcome. Other than that, I was impressed. Their scoring is fantastic to me, because so many guys are contributing to the scoreboard. Opponents won’t be able to pick out one guy who brings in all the points because that’s not what this team is. I think the rebounding is maybe the most significant thing that can be worked on. Williams had a huge number of our rebounds, and I would have liked to have seen more rebounding from our other big guys
This team is going to surprise a lot of people especially when their shots are falling they're going to be very very good I think right now from the two exhibition games and the one opening game I think we get to the third weekend in the tournament
30 assists as a team. Did we ever do that during the Calipari era? I don’t expect a championship this year, but that would be a welcomed surprise. I’m excited, we have a new coach, a modern system, experienced players that are also talented. It’s gonna be fun.
My God. Isn’t it making to hear a smart, deep thinking coach actually answer questions, and not resort to the cliche jukebox like Calipari did for a decade? This feels so right !
BBN was upset with the hiring of Mark pope I wasn't among those I admit he wasn't my first choice but I said give the man a chance we've had 20ys of cal I never liked hiring him but I'm happy for the good ys from cal
Always heard Cal talk about finding 5 guys that play well together. Coach Pope, I'm not hearing that kind of talk. Does his game plan make that irrelevant?

These are almost all senior or graduate players, so "young", especially, is not a word we should hear all year.
Pope’s old number was #41.. super fitting to win his fist game as the coach of UK by 41 points
Thats awesome 😊 BBN

Total difference already. Coach pope is reintroducing a tactician’s mindset to our historic program. GO BIG BLUE!
Thank you to the audio staff for getting microphones to the people asking the questions. Makes for a great post game show.
No kidding! I hate when it's like Charlie browns teacher asking questions. So nice to be able to hear the questions
CONGRATULATIONS Coach Pope on your first win at UK!! let's keep it going and win number 9 this year!
Just amazing listening to that. Complimenting Mark Fox like he did and talking about his players. This is going to be fun.

Lol so happy you're on the Pope train
Same here. I thought he'll never be able to recurit the kind of kids we need. Boy was I wrong. This team is tough.
@captainmarvel9610 yes they are did you see locker room after game guys kinda of attacked him on the floor he said I'm pretty sure someone punched me and I know who it was locked room was really cool
Fun to watch tonight. There is most def not 22 college basketball teams better than the team I saw tonight. Lfg.
That’s what I’m sayin, not seeing anyone else blow out the competition by 41!
@@josephwatts2904couple of big L’s for some sec teams tonight too. Those upsets like we saw against Unc Whoever last year are becoming more common for everybody. This is a team that definitely won’t have that problem.
This man is a COACH.
And VERY smart!!!
@@MikeBlair-ce1er LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I'm definitely excited for the Duke game. I definitely believe Pope will have them prepared. Team so far looks excellent!
I’m also ready for puke
Duke guards the 3 and has super athletic players. Athletic teams will cause this UK team fits. Will be a good game though.
I'm excited to see what pope has in store for Duke game offensively
@@kakkycoasties8670 Cooper flagg ain't no joke. That dude is a problem.
I honestly thinknwe can hang with Duke. I'm so anxious for that game.
Mark Pope is such a breath of fresh air. This guy is going to be the next great coach in college basketball.
Great player now great coach 😊
Mark Pope will retire coaching when HE decides to leave UK and he will be a Hall of Fame coach too.
I'm loving it, BBN
This team is going to cause problems in the SEC.
This team is going to cause problems for any team they play.
I predict uk to finish 3rd in the sec. We have one of the toughest schedules this year. But I think come March madness uk will be deadly and could possibly run the table for #9
From your lips to God’s ears!!!! #9❤

@davidalexander828 o yeah the man can coach
So wonderful that we could hear the questions. Wow I'm not used to that. Thanks
Great team effort. Grown men playing winning ball. Can’t pick a favorite player yet. They all are so consistent. Thanks coach.
Looking forward to the season and future.

Don't let the D Wade statue maker make Pope's statue.
Oh yeah congrats Coach Pope and Cats great win Go Blue

"Lean on our depth, until our conditioning catches up." Wow, its wild to have a coach with a brain.
No one-star that did it, but team ball
A win is a win
Almanor gonna be 2nd team All SEC if he can hit 3s
“I was wrong once; back in 1978.” Wonder how long until the Arkansas media hears that 🤮
But does he like his team?
Pope 💪😁
Always heard Cal talk about finding 5 guys that play well together. Coach Pope, I'm not hearing that kind of talk. Does his game plan make that irrelevant?
Cal still living rent free I see LMAO 🤣
Smart coach
Get-em Lee Anne
Such a breath of fresh air compared to Cal and his fake persona and arrogance.
Cal still living rent free I see LMAO 🤣🤣
@joeyrice3166 rEnT fREe sure buddy
CATS!!!
Go back to the warmup top and sweats coach lol.
The more i watch and listen to coach Pope and his team play. The more fake i see in Coach Cal.
