I love this team man! A group from all over the country come together and are so proud to wear Kentucky blue. Also, these boys seem like they want to make coach pope proud and he never fails to give them their dues awesome coach player relationships here and makes for awesome basketball!
Momentum will pull this team to some Big Wins this season !! Popes coaching n showing these young guys how to be men on n off the court is absolutely Magical !! Hands down UK basketball is back and on a freight train 🚂 with a head of full steam going forward .
This is what BBN SHOULD BE!! So proud of these young men and Coach Pope in returning the culture to focus on Kentucky Basketball and what it means to True Blue Fans.
Pope is DOPE !!! He’s done an amazing job to come in and beat Duke for the 1st time since 2015 is a Hallmark Moment !! This team is gonna be a problem !! Watch out in the tourney UK is back baby !!!
Proud of how we kept fighting tonight..kentucky unbridled spirit is back 💪...thats the best duke team I've seen in a while. Outplayed us majority of the game..besides down the stretch
This is the result of a game when you have kids playing for the name on front of jersey instead of name on the back!! Previous years they would have been to many kids trying to be heroes instead of team ball. Great win!!
Really nice seeing in-game coaching something UK has not had in the previous 6 or so years. Love Caoch Pope in the seat. He has coupled a real passion with teaching and a coaching intelligence that was lacking under the previous administration. In my opinion, had Cal been on the bench, Duke would have won.
Glad Coach Pope Gets it that mentally and physically mature players are the way to go! These mature group of guys are going to be an awesome team! Pope's incredible winning and team based mentality is the recipe we have been missing! He just has that vibe and can be one of the Best coaches ever!
I'm 48 yrs old, got a bum left knee and jacked up back, but I'd run through a brick wall for Mark Pope! He just gets it and he's one of our own. His stoicism is absolutely contagious!! #BBN
Theses guys ain’t so serious there having fun they making jokes this what basketball is post to be about once it becomes to much pressure it’s hard to play
The difference is night and day. A cal team would have folded faster than a bag chair in a tornado. A cal led team would have been blown out in the last 10 minutes of the game. A cal led team would have used excuse after excuse why BBN should still be proud of their “ young team”
i told da hubby dont doubt momma. i knew duke was gonna lose, however i hadnt known itd been 10 years since we won. all i can say is wooooohoooo baby, lets go pope.. #PopezDope 😂 and i loved how coah cals team razorbacks lost their butts😂 even funnier, he had to go, kentuckians needed a coah w a good attitude ans charisma Coach Cal its call a personality dude, why the long face😂😂😂omg im awful, naww just happy af our boyz are gonna go all season undefeated mark my word, i had preminission that were not losing any games at all. hope im right 🤞🤞
So happy for the win, esp. over the devils. But all this lovely dovey, 'embrace our teammates, get to know each other so well and do for them' talk is not what wins titles. Sounds like Cal speak. Sounds like the participation trophy generation. Toughen up guys.
Hey you guys won but don't forget the score when dukes big 7'2 guy went down and guard got hurt with 9 minutes left. I believe Dukes up 11 when the big guy started cramping and was done for the game.Thats a huge loss when he went down because Kentucky was constantly looking to see where he was at as far as rim protection and rebounding. I'd say Duke would have won the game if not for him and their best defender going out that was a big loss but it's early hopefully they'll play again at full strength and we know Dukes just scratching the surface.
Whether it’s foul trouble or cramping or injury or availability to play, it’s all part of the game and those are things all teams must be prepared to deal with. Hopefully the team is not making the kind of excuse that you are making for them.
@@treediddyyour right!! All in the game I’m sure CATS would of adjusted differently no matter what he being in or out of game had nothing to do with duke not getting shots to fall at the end or cooper turning it over twice down the stretch. The ball was going to be in his hands no matter who in the game.

Proud of how we kept fighting tonight..kentucky unbridled spirit is back 💪...thats the best duke team I've seen in a while. Outplayed us majority of the game..besides down the stretch
Nice to see that 2 man Kentucky press on defense I saw as a kid during the Pintino years. Great game. Cooper Flagg is the real deal. Great game!!! 😊
Pintino 😂
@walkinphoenix45 Oh. Just caught that. Lol. PITINO
Kentucky basketball we are the world
Awesome team! Love the chemistry and unselfishness!
This is the result of a game when you have kids playing for the name on front of jersey instead of name on the back!! Previous years they would have been to many kids trying to be heroes instead of team ball. Great win!!
A great Kentucky win 🔥🔥🔥

Not to bash Cal but absolutely!! No way this same group of guys leave with the W if Cal was coaching. Probably would have got ugly!!
Go!!!! Run!!!!! That was some great coaching from Cal. We really miss it 😅😅
Glad Coach Pope Gets it that mentally and physically mature players are the way to go! These mature group of guys are going to be an awesome team! Pope's incredible winning and team based mentality is the recipe we have been missing! He just has that vibe and can be one of the Best coaches ever!
U.K. FINALLY has a Coach that understands the Culture of Kentucky Basketball and building a Team! Go Big Blue! 🏀👍🍀🥳

Now we know what team we got!! We got some dawgs!!!!
Man them boys were scrapping in that second half 💪🏼 got tired of being forced out the paint 😤
@StevenStayton-gi4gz we never panicked. We adjusted. We were more physical in the 2nd half. We hit 10 3s they hit 4. Impressive win.
@@truck_it_23 it's gonna be a fun season.
Go Cats!
Go big blue
sad Duke fan for sure but props to this vet squad to coming back in the 2nd

Come back cats baby!!!!! Love it!!!!
I could see Jaxxon struggling and being down about his play. Hope it doesn’t affect him long term.
Best win yet beating Duke wait t go,
Cats baby💙
Great game. Kentucky beat Duke by 7. We will see yea again in April, go Duke all these freshmen will more experienced.
BBN Let’s Go
I think Pope making the change to go small probably won the game.
Felt like a final four game
GO CATS!!! BBN
Letsssss gooooooooooo
LOOK WHOS BACK CATS
When u got shooters like we do a 10 pt lead ain’t shit
we need more bball emojis
Did not play great and still beat #6 Duke
A mid game tweak? Say it aint so!
So happy for the win, esp. over the devils. But all this lovely dovey, 'embrace our teammates, get to know each other so well and do for them' talk is not what wins titles. Sounds like Cal speak. Sounds like the participation trophy generation. Toughen up guys.
