Of the Pope era. What a way to show determination, grittiness, toughness, and overcoming adversity. Good job by all. Piss off Cal!

I still put the Duke win last year above this but it was solid in the full context.

Was really impressed how the team regrouped. And really happy to see Pope get that technical and back his team.

For sure the best 40 minutes this year. Great gutsy win. Could have folded after those technicals. Good for Coach Pope staff and team, much needed. Go Cats!

Two huge differences from the Vandy debacle to this game. Coaches did a better job in game preparation and the players put forth effort. This UK team can be as good as they want to be.

Pope has been much better than he gets credit for this season.

Duke is probably the best win, but beating Cal in Fayetteville, for their white out, may be more satisfying.

Then Malachi was tired in second half and I thought he should have pulled him for a breather. But I think he was trying to get to the under 4. he coached a hell of a game tonight. I would have been tossed.People bitching about Pope during game, coach kept this together. The D was really good Acuff struggled all game to get going.
