I couldn’t imagine a better start for Pope. I love it. I’m not crying, you are crying…
Up 68 points and these white boys from the holler just keep pulling the trigger!
8 players in double figures. That is some fun basketball. You can tell these guys are working hard during the week. This is too much fun for them. Like with Pitino, game days are easy compared to practice.
I said last year Noah this gunslinger is scary good
It’s great to be a UK fan! Haven’t felt that way in a number of years, always knew it. But boy, is it glad to have the joy back!
The 90’s have made a comeback everyone…..
Listening on UK Athletics app. Loving what I am seeing (or hearing to be more accurate) so far.
He's streamed before I'm pretty sure..The guy streaming the YouTube game just got his first experience with BBN.
“You Cat fans are in here deep! 14K on a stream for an exhibition game”.
Edit: He’s a Florida St fan
Pope put actual walk ons in because it was literally the only way not to break the Rupp record in his first exhibition game
The scoreboard at Rupp simply says “PAIN”.
Relentless this is Kentucky basketball
Almonor is my surprise. I had no idea
I feel like we will be alright if we can figure out how to score more going forward. 
wonder if Calipari is watching this.
Let’s do this 41 more times boys and girls
Haha yes! 123 and I’m a genius.
71 point win! Wow!!! This was everything that I hoped for.
He's got that Pitino "beat them by 80" blood in him.
Oh boy.
Oh boy.
Wow now I can catch my breath and I LOVE IT!!!!
123 -52 . Shooting 50% from 3 . Everyone scored. Good first game against nobody but I like what I see from team concepts.
I’ll listen to My Old Kentucky Home while the archivist searches for a John Calipari coached Kentucky team to score 120+ and win by more than 70 points.
Not playing the funnel inside and rim protect half court D style. But playing a speed based perimeter deflections defense…they had plenty of defensive ability to speed the game up. (Basically what we will try to do this year with less athletic ability). Also think Wagner would have benefitted from a faster and more spread out game.
Also have to take in account that when you are putting that much offensive pressure on the opponent, you don’t have to be as efficient defensively bc teams have to also be just as offensively efficient as you for it to become a defensive every stop matters battle. There’s a reason why we got worse as the season went when the ex coach tried slowing it down a little and playing “better defensive lineups” bc “we can’t win giving up 70+”…. Play the lineup that will score 85+ and you’ll win more than you in lose. 95% of college teams don’t have a lineup that can keep up w that offensive efficiency. NBA-yes. College-No
I didn't know you were allowed to be up 36 at the half and try to beat a team by more!
That was pretty impressive actually
That was pretty impressive actually
