Mark Pope came out & signed autographs last night after the game. He took pics with whoever wanred them & even got on a facetime call to talk to a fans grandma, (AGAIN). I dont know of many coaches who will do this kind of stuff, let alone on the road!! The really great thing is that he doesn't do it for noterirty or for himself, he does it for the fans. He is exactly what we needed!
This is the reality of covering and entire sport. These guys don't know the teams and how could they. Probably spend a lot of time listening to Greenberg and looking at box scores. Cal under preformed for 4 consecutive years. Thank you chicken man for taking him off our hands. #ILOVETYSON
One thing that doesn't get talked about enough is how Mark Pope thrives in the underdog role. It's when his teams are at their best. His best BYU wins were similar, like last year's win at Kansas that no pundits saw coming. This Kentucky team has that same mojo when people count them out, and it comes from the top.
Pope being a Team Captain & National Championship in 96’ made the acceptance easy, especially after the start they had. As a UK alum and a diehard Cats fan, you couldn’t ask for better situation, especially with what Calipari left us, nothing. Pope has been accepted as the real deal. He can coach!
@@robinh8416 I don't need to watch it again. I watched it live and Tennessee clanked open 3's all night. So the Kentucky fan take on last night's game is that Pope baited Tennessee into taking 45 closely contested 3's?
@ I never used the word baited, and there isn’t one “KY fan take,” but they weren’t getting good looks in the paint in the second half, so make of it what you will.
Everyone forgot how important the Kentucky Effect is. Mark Pope has pulled off one of the most unbelievable coaching jobs in the history of the sport, but he had help. The Big Blue Nation makes a difference, it’s one of the reasons we have Championships under 5 different coaches during 5 different decades.
@@doc8013 That was the delusional Kentucky fan comment of the day. The previous day's winner was the guy who said if Pitino had stayed at Kentucky he would have easily won another 8 championships to surpass Wooden and was the greatest defensive coach in the history of the sport....only he couldn't figure out to guard the inbounds passer Grant Hill to make it tougher to throw a 75 foot strike.
@ I said one of the most unbelievable in the history of the sport. It’s hard to compare I guess because I don’t think that there has ever been a first year coach that missed the recruiting period, came in late to the Portal System, had an entirely new team except for one player, had to hire an entirely new coaching staff, had no returning players from the previous year, had to play in the strongest conference in the history of the sport, and then started dragging top ten teams all year long like it’s his job. Since you are saying that I am way off base then I’m sure it will be easy for you to provide me with numerous examples of coaches that faced this many issues and provided these kind of results. I’ll be eagerly awaiting your response.
@ It is pretty annoying when someone with the attention span of a starving coyote incorrectly reads my coherently written post and then responds with Smarmy Lols and Come on Man’s. “ONE OF THE BEST” Coaching jobs of all time, does that help? I suppose if you watch basketball the same way that you read messages you wouldn’t understand what a good job coaching is anyway. When he gets the NCAA coach of the year this year you can thank me for giving you a heads up.
We may be loud, we may be passionate, we may be demanding, but on average UK fans know as much avout their basketball program as any fan base. We arent always right, but we were 100% right about Cal needing to move on and embracing the Pope hire when a lot of the national media were having a fit.

I hate to do this but I have to insert some politics here, well because it is politics. You may have heard our media and even ESPN are extremely political , they are liberal to their eyeballs. Well it so happens Calipari and Obama are golfing buddies. Yep John likes to be seen with the libs. So naturally they could not understand at all why UK would fire him, and UK did fire him in the sense that He was gone and he knew it was time to bale. I've noticed as far as media is concerned there were far less non conference UK early games televised free than what has been in the past. again sorry for going there but I know these things are facts and facts always have weight.
The dumbest comment of the night came from Jimmy Dykes, the guy who will never shut up on the TV broadcast - "Zakai Ziegler is a top 7 or 8 player in the country." He's a 5'9" PG averaging a little over 12 points on about 36% shooting, including under 30% from 3.
I like Dykes, but he totally gets carried away. I'm a Tennessee fan and I love Ziegler, he's an excellent leader and by all accounts a great kid. But no, he's clearly nowhere near a first team all-american.
I said last week I’d rather have Dykes as an announcer over Jay Bilas. After lasts nights game, I realized how stupid I sounded. For the love of god, can we never have Dykes announce another one of our games.
Good observation about Kentucky fans. The UK basketball program is undoubtedly a point-of-pride. Kentucky has no professional sports other than horse racing. Having the winningest NCAA D1 basketball program means something to Kentuckians.
I want to think you guys for being honest.You guys have made me a fan keep on being honest I will keep watching.we don’t have enough people to say I was wrong. GO BIG BLUE.
Granted, i'm a lifelong UK fan, but I was thrilled when Pope was hired and after the players he got through the portal, I thought they could be a final four team. I hope I'm right! Hope in Pope!
You nailed it for how Kentucky feels about it’s basketball program and the pride Kentuckians take in it. They’re constantly dogged, made fun of nationally for being uneducated, hillbillies, racist,etc… There is a certain chip on the shoulder aspect and I’m glad they have a coach that understands them
@@glennlanham6309 in KY random Mamaw’s, soccer moms, young women can talk intelligent basketball for hours. Nowhere else. I met a new neighbor once. Went over to introduce myself. It was at least a decade after “the shot.” We end up talking KY basketball for an hour, and yelling about how Laettner should’ve been ejected for stomping Aminu Timberlake’s leg. ONLY in KY does this happen.
How many times do they need to say they don't have a star player. They have DUDES. Dudes who step up and make plays when others can't. For context, the best player on the team is Otega Oweh if you want a star. The most important player is Lamont Butler. There's your answer to this question.
Kentucky's star player is nearly anyone on the roster, and they can be that guy on any given night. I love it. It's great to not feel like all hope is lost because one or two are out.
This is great analysis! You guys do the best out of all the other channels, you make solid point after solid point after solid point and you don’t sit there and read comments 75 percent of the time 🤦♂️ that shit kills me when all I want to hear is your analysis on what you just watched All these other channels that sit there thru most of the show and just laughs and reads comments is not a true sports show.
How about the Oweh Guarantee??? Every game, he will get at least one steal leading to an open dunk and at least one poster on some poor soul who tries to stop him😮
I don't think they can review anything until under 2 minutes unless it's clock or flagrants or goal tending. They just go over to the monitor way too much and it's starting to drive me crazy too.
When will these media people understand Kentucky is the greatest program in the history of this sport. Caliponzi didn't make Kentucky. Kentucky won 7 titles before Caliponzi even got there. Kentucky was great before Cal and they're going to be great post Cal and currently are.
Kentucky controlled and dominated this whole game. From the start. Under manned. There is no justification to why Kentucky won except that Kentucky flat out was the better team
Five bad calls in a row to in the game and yet the big orange STILL sucked. They shot so badly because they were shorter at every position, and our great defense.
@Don-md6wn Lol, everybody sees it, and has to go through it, and it SHOULD be discussed openly. As a matter of fact, after Pope commented on the Georgia games officiating they received less than half the gifted fouls they did the two game prior. Hmm.... It's on film, and very easy to review. Any team at a road game has a right to say the truth.
@@johnnycorn7225 You're the guy who declared all of Duke's national championships null and void because you have data. And Kentucky gets a bad whistle every game. You're very objective.
@@Don-md6wn Well, ANY team on the road means more than just UK, so that strawman is burned, again all teams get the shaft on the road, even dUKe sometimes too. Again look up the free-throw data, and also, how well dUKes players perform long term in the NBA. It's sorely behind, again numbers. If you're trying to say dUKe doesn't get the most favorable whistle in the land, you need a stand up gig. How bout Jack the Goose and them 78 cats too, great season, I got my buddy Chris one of those really cool hoodies that have the Tar heels officiating over Coach k's grave he loves it.
Louisville wasn't ranked when UK played them and they are not the Louisville of old, so you really can't count them at all. Maybe as a beating a rival, yeah but still not on the level of the other teams named.
Whoa whoa whoa you gotta look at it like this having the head coaching position at Kentucky for basketball is like being the president of the United States after eight years you HL O L when you take that job, it’s not for yourself you’re coaching for the fan base and obviously the team and Cal lost that he had that when he first got hired in 2009 and then you saw starting in 2016 the trend downward if you don’t coach for the fan base, you will have a rough time at Kentucky.
You thought we would rue the day Cal left...haven't you been paying attention for the last 5 years? Yes it could have gone Gillespie bad but a change was needed.
Ok so UK alot like Duke, and North Carolina, gets alot of hate from other fanbases because they want Them to fail. Because they traditionally have had alot of success, but as a college basketball podcast you guys are supposed to be un biased, and analyze the game and give your takes on it. However i think there are some guys on here that dont like UK, and thats fine, but to still doubt them after what they have done this season is just hating at this point. What Mark pope has done is he went and got a bunch of guys that were either the best player on their former teams, or one of their best players, and put them on one team with an intelligent roster building strategy. The SEC and the rest of the country better hope Pope doesn't start raking in top 5 classes, because it will be over. Just imagine if he actually landed chaz Lanier and javon small in the off season what this team would he like right now, if he starts landing the guys he goes after more often, he will hang another banner. And props to ol buddy in the middle for being accountable, because ive seen him bash the program and coach alot in the off Season.
We need to talk about the point spread and how suspicious this is... This is twice now with kentucky where the point spread wasnt even close and there was this sentiment that oh the opposite of the actual outcome would happen... for instance... this game. It was assume uk was going to get rolled and they won. And earlier in the year it was assumed uk was going to roll ohio state and they got rolled. Vegas is making this shit suspicious
They didnt watch the game lmao they did this video purely because they had to because of the hate they gave. Jackson Robinson was the player of the game clowns lolllll

For me this was Kentucky basketball, what the fans want to see. The talking heads say we're hard on our team and coach, not true , we adore and pamper them, but we expect them to don that Jersey and be ready to give 110% . You see that''s what we demand, the "Unforgettable s" proved that long ago. They never won it all, they struggled to win what they did, but they did win they fought for every inch, every game. There is no Cat fan that doesn't smile at the mention of the "Unforgettable s", in terms of fondness I actually believe they out weigh the "Untouchables" , possibly the greatest NCAA team of all time. We don't accept Vandy type games, that was dreadful, ugly, lazy, uncalled for, the Tennessee game was some redemption, now take Auburn to the wood shed.
Also because Tennessee has nobody to throw it to in the post. I thought Kentucky played a little softer on the 3 point line and sagged into the paint last night because they have been getting beat off the dribble so much and without Butler it likely was going to be worse if they kept trying to play the same way.
Credit to Kentucky by all means, but Tennessee absolutely had a choice to be more patient and take better shots. On many possessions, they didn't even attempt to go inside or take it to the hoop. No one forced the Vols to take 45 3s.
Bad matchup ???? I had been preaching the opposite for days and predicted that Ky would take advantage of their height and shooting and that Tennessee’s number one defense isn’t capable of defending great 3pt shooters. Tennessee is a great team but they’re a little overrated. I predicted Ky would win, and they did it exactly the way I said they would.
Got sick of his success? What an ignorant comment. That’s the opposite of reality. No clue who you are, but you don’t have a clue about Kentucky, Calipari and the fanbase. Just click-bait talking points.
Did you not hear them mention him? It was in the beginning of this. ACC compared to SEC is very different. Mark Pope has a win against the best team in the ACC.
As much as I hate to say this, I dont think Ky will make a deep run in the tourny. I expect a first or second round loss. I know they have beet a lot of ranked teams and probably teams they should have lost to(on paper). But they lose to teams they should absolutely stomp(again on paper).
Clownish take. Kriisa hurt, two straight losses to ranked opponents with starters (Butler, Carr) hurting, then they beat Tenn on the road without those two starters. If this team gets healthy, they are a National Title contender. Get your eyes checked.
@@brokenvessel8886 Lol. The irony of insulting someone else's opinion as clownish and then calling KY a national title contender. Nice win. Let's be real tho. Tennessee is a good but flawed team that literally set a school record for missed 3s last night. This series is weird...Vols/Cats tend to beat each other on the road. KY did it last year against a better Tennessee team and weeks later was out of the NCAA in the first round. Idk if dude's gonna be right, but it's certainly possible. A helluva lot more likely than KY winning the championship.

Credit to Kentucky by all means, but Tennessee absolutely had a choice to be more patient and take better shots. On many possessions, they didn't even attempt to go inside or take it to the hoop. No one forced the Vols to take 45 3s.
Bad matchup ????
I had been preaching the opposite for days and predicted that Ky would take advantage of their height and shooting and that Tennessee’s number one defense isn’t capable of defending great 3pt shooters. Tennessee is a great team but they’re a little overrated. I predicted Ky would win, and they did it exactly the way I said they would.
Pope does more with less…Cal did less with more.
Got sick of his success? What an ignorant comment. That’s the opposite of reality. No clue who you are, but you don’t have a clue about Kentucky, Calipari and the fanbase. Just click-bait talking points.
Before the win, these losers are, "LIEK DA OMG DA KENTUCKY IS DA SUK!". Emotional women have better takes
Bro the said expectations were low. Must not be a Kentucky basketball fan.
Ever hear of Pat “Starting from Scratch” Kelsey, bro?
Did you not hear them mention him? It was in the beginning of this. ACC compared to SEC is very different. Mark Pope has a win against the best team in the ACC.
@@dredennis113 and the 2nd best.
No pack like Vol pack
As much as I hate to say this, I dont think Ky will make a deep run in the tourny. I expect a first or second round loss. I know they have beet a lot of ranked teams and probably teams they should have lost to(on paper). But they lose to teams they should absolutely stomp(again on paper).
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who asked?
Clownish take. Kriisa hurt, two straight losses to ranked opponents with starters (Butler, Carr) hurting, then they beat Tenn on the road without those two starters. If this team gets healthy, they are a National Title contender. Get your eyes checked.
@brokenvessel8886
Amen!
@@brokenvessel8886 Lol. The irony of insulting someone else's opinion as clownish and then calling KY a national title contender.
Nice win. Let's be real tho. Tennessee is a good but flawed team that literally set a school record for missed 3s last night. This series is weird...Vols/Cats tend to beat each other on the road. KY did it last year against a better Tennessee team and weeks later was out of the NCAA in the first round.
Idk if dude's gonna be right, but it's certainly possible. A helluva lot more likely than KY winning the championship.
