Before an awkward night in Rupp Arena, Mark Pope offers his thoughts on John Calipari Two days before one of the most anticipated games of the college basketball season, Mark Pope sat in Memorial Coliseum and began his weekly press conference with a subject unrelated to X’s and O’s. Pope showed off a pair of handpainted shoes that he planned to wear for Kentucky’s game against Arkansas on Saturday night. He explained excitedly that these personalized, size-16 Nikes would be worn in recognition of this week’s Coaches vs. Cancer initiative, which for more than three decades has seen college coaches wear sneakers — often with suits — on the sidelines. The shoes that fans will see in Rupp Arena this weekend were painted by Pope and all of his assistant coaches, as well as the UK women's basketball staff, back in November at the Joe Craft Center with kids and their families. DanceBlue, a student organization in the UK that has raised over $23 million since 2006 to combat pediatric cancer, staged that event. Pope added, "So we got to spend some time painting these shoes with some young cancer sufferers."...

Pitino told reporters, "To say I was dissatisfied would be the The Red Storm lost to the Pirates 41-29 at the half after being outscored 39-21 in the second half.

"It just does not seem fair" is Mark Pope's statement regarding Lamont Butler's shoulder injury. One major concern arose after everyone had taken a breather following the finish: what is the most recent development regarding Lamont Butler? Mark Pope stated that once they receive the imaging of Butler's shoulder on Friday, the team will know more, but his subsequent statements sounded unimpressive. "I mean, you experience a wide range of feelings. It is difficult to describe. Given how devastated your heart is for Lamont, I was incredibly proud of our team and our guys. Jaxson is already seated over there. Lamont now loses the chance to participate in this. It is devastating. Guys, that is terrible for him. It is similar to a gut punch. In order to maintain your focus on the game, you are attempting to suppress that emotion. That was an amazing job that our troops did. "We will assemble it piece by piece. I will continue to pray fervently that he will be able to return to the floor this year. It does not seem fair at all. This game is not fair.
