“Mark Pope’s Shocking Confession: What He REALLY Thinks About Kentucky Now!”
Kentucky basketball supporters are ball-knowers. We can be honest with one another about our Wildcats without hauling out the torches and pitchforks, so please, keep your lighters far away from your torches when I declare the following. Mark Pope just had his worst week on the job at Kentucky.
A few days later, Pope took his first recruiting L as the Kentucky head coach. Even though the writing was on the wall down the stretch, losing a player of Caleb Wilson‘s caliber stinks. There’s no other way to put it.
After the recruiting loss, Kentucky went on the road and lost to Vanderbilt. No matter how good Vanderbilt is this year, losing to them in any sport is awful. Just like the Alabama game, Kentucky had a late lead and couldn’t close out the Commodores. Students from Vandy rushed the court in celebration.
Kentucky can win its first basketball game in 14 days by upsetting Tennessee on the road. That’s a rivalry game where their head coach has a winning record over you. As impossible as it may feel in this moment, these Cats have an incredibly high ceiling and have been at their as underdogs, winning all three games outright away from Rupp. When the offense is firing, they’re hard to beat and it’s really, really hard for Tennessee to score.
