No one has mentioned the great coaching call on the play after the time out just before half that resulted in a much needed 3 pointer. Going into the half on a positive is such a positive for the team. You can tell the players have tremendous confidence in their Coaches. What a difference than the last few years.

That was a big time play. Pope is a genius.
It's amazing what happens when you put your players in a position to succeed.

I think it was a brilliant counter response from pope, for Buzz to be so hands on, on every play A&M runs, Pope had no problem drawing up a play to score right before half with Buzz going all out to stop it.
We continue to see how good of a coach Pope is and how much he cares about the fanbase and the state of KENTUCKY. It is not just one or two things each week. We see 10 to 15 examples of Pope's love for KENTUCKY, the People, the University, the Players and such. Love the guy.
I couldn’t tell if that was a set play or if Garrison just made a great pass. It was so quick I tend to think it was set but…. I couldn’t be any happier with this coaching staff than I already am.
What's crazy is that play had multiple options. Garrison could have easily drop-stepped to the basket for a dunk, but he also knew that Jax was going to be open before he even received the ball. Giving up a good shot for a better shot!
Did you guys know that Pope plays Chess?

No freaking out. No yelling go. No staring down players or pulling them after a simple mistake. Just straight up smart coaching of smart and capable kids which leads to good results. Refreshing as hell.
Two games in a row with a much needed 3 pointer right at the end of the first half.
I'm impressed with his plays right after our timeouts.
Hopefully that can translate to last possession buckets if down one score to win or tie.
