Official Announcement:Mark Pope has been Recognized, as the Best All-Time Coach In Oklahoma Football History, receiving a prestigious award….
Mark Pope believes that one person’s perspective matters more than most, despite the fact that all of college basketball is analyzing No. 19 Kentucky’s 77-72 comeback victory over No. 6 Duke. Pope, the captain of Kentucky’s 1996 national championship team, just received a congrats tweet from Rick Pitino. Pitino, who helped Big Blue Nation agree to the job in April by endorsing Pope, kept it brief.
“Well done, Cat. I am not surprised,” he tweeted, concluding with a flex emoji.
Former Kentucky head coach Rick Pitino got a hero’s welcome Friday from a location he was once quite familiar with. Over the years, Pitino’s relationship with Kentucky has been complex. However, at the team’s “Big Blue Madness” event at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, fans made the 72-year-old head coach feel quite welcome.
Once again, the UK Sports Video team’s incredibly gifted members have blessed us with an amazing montage of Mark Pope’s very first Big Blue Madness.
This new era of Kentucky basketball was introduced to the Big Blue Nation, and it did not let them down. Rupp Arena was filled for last Friday’s BBM, which took place on a brand-new glass basketball court. Collin Chandler won the Dunk Contest by jumping over Pope and his wife, Lee Anne, while Travis Perry scorched the nets in the 3-Point Contest. Former head coach Rick Pitino was among the players that were brought back from every period in Kentucky
