I’ve thought about that, too. Mark might not think about this much, but I bet he does get a little kick out of the fact that Otega is wearing his teammates’ old number.
This team is amazing. Basketball is a rhythm game. I also love a recent statement Mark made about just coming at you. Something like “We might not win every game, but you will be dealing with a handful when you play us.”
Everyone mocked UK for hiring MARK POPE but Mitch Barnhart hired the right guy POPE has united all of BBN and now the mainstream media is starting too give us UK some respect but I say if you didn't believe in us when Mark was hired then don't start now
Last night's game actually dropped Brea's season 3pt%. Going into the game he was shooting 79% on the season. He's now at 74% after going 5 of 8 last night 😂😂 that's insane to even say. Go Big Blue!!!
Louisville will play us tough on December 14 in Rupp Arena in a matchup of new head coaches for the schools. I’m not looking past Western Kentucky, either. I haven’t watched them this season, but they have historically played Kentucky roughly in Rupp Arena, they almost always have a solid program, and only being in Bowling Green, WKU fans will show up at Rupp Arena, easily.
I hope Kerr finds his shot. I don’t really think that is an area of concern, but I just know he has that in him. When he develops his shot consistently for Kentucky, that’s another offensive weapon.
Gonzaga will be tough. Ohio State will be tough. In conference, Alabama, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt are going to want to test us. The whole SEC is going to be indignant, like, Kentucky, we were getting used to where you are, and if you want to reclaim the league, you are going to fight us for it. Arkansas will come into Rupp thinking they have something to prove. They have a power coach and many of our old players, and we are carrying the flowers, with our drastic improvement. Those players, frankly, are going to want to feel like they did not make a mistake leaving Kentucky with John Calipari.
Mark pope is KY he wore the JERSEY & took pride in wearing it mark knows what it means 2 BBN 2 B UK and this is the guy's Pope wants players 2 take pride in R brand unselfish team first players who wants 2 be here and UK isn't just a stepping stone to the NBA
This was a slam dunk hire
Coach is building up their confidence and adding value to each player. Otega Tron reminds me of T Delk, even wearing the 00,
Otega might be my fav… hope he returns next season

I thought that as well my friend....he's even built likeT.D.

Right… we’re gonna compete on both ends for 40mins!!!!
Mark has stunned me. I have said this before, but still just to take a program on the floor and build them up fearsomely in 6-7 months is fantastic.
He definitely has them ready can’t wait for SEC play
Yea you nailed it. We love the vocals of the players who love being in KY
💯💯💯
Thank you Derek!
We're rolling!
We definitely are 💯💯💯
I love your commentaries and I hope you continue to do videos on UK basketball this season.
Thanks family… I appreciate that 🙏🏽🔵⚪️
Good analysis of the season. This is looking like a special first season for Pope.
I starting to feel like this too… but trying to not look ahead lol
Collins is so athletic. I look for him to help more as the year goes on
Me too… he’s up next

Let's go!! 🕺🏽
😮💨😮💨😮💨
Great show my dude
Thanks family… we need to do a show together soon 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It’s early but the scary thing is we are only going to get better
Butler had a dunk that reminded me of Dirk Minniefield against Mississippi St.i think in the 81-82 season.
Butler has sneaky athleticism
This team isn’t what we’re used to seeing!!! But damn that’s a good thing!!!!
The fans are loving it
Man you should do a vid on the coaching staff. We still dk much about them other than theyre awesome
I’ll have to get more familiar with them myself lol
@sportsanddiscourse7675 yea we know theyre awesome but dk stats n numbers. We kno pope got them for some type of numbers. Curious to post season etc.
GO BIG BLUE

Completely INSANE 🫨🫨🫨
I’m ready for some competition. Dec. 3 Clemson and Dec 7 Gonzaga, 14th Louisville 21st Ohio State and Arron Bradshaw. Man I can’t wait! Go Big Blue
Me too… I haven’t paid attention to Bradshaw… is he playing well???
I just looked… think Bradshaw might be in some trouble 😬

Tru… we gotta take it one opponent at a time

I think he’s still getting comfortable in his role but I expect him to break out soon

But I believe this team will take them down!
@@darrensmith6172 me, too. We are a more powerful program, as early as right now, than we have been in decades.
Agreed… the SEC is gonna definitely give us some battle scars

Nutler and Oweh can brake people down off the briblle. Butler actually has some blow-by when he has to.
