- Can confirm that Mark Pope just asked all Kentucky reporters on site for the open practice in Milwaukee to join the team photo. Definitely a first for me covering Kentucky. @KYKernelSports #BBN
- This is just one of Rupp Arena’s entrances filled with people STILL WAITING TO GET IN THE DOOR. All those people in seats have gotten through. THOUSANDS are still waiting outside. #BBN
00:00 - So, do you guys think Lexington is excited to see Mark Pope? Doors don’t open for another hour but BBN is here in droves! #BBN
00:00 - Mark Pope: "I think this team has potential, but we're not run-away good. We're just team great. We can be team great if we lean into each other. We're not just going to go out and dominate people because our individual talent is overwhelming."
- We’ve still got about an hour until Mark Pope’s introductory press conference is set to begin and fans are pouring into Rupp Arena. We’ve already had audible “Blue-White!” chants. #BBN
00:00 - Crowd update here at Rupp Arena. The side facing the stage? Packed to the top. Stewards are having to lower the curtains around the stage because fans are filling up both sides of the arena. This is Kentucky basketball. #BBN
00:00 - Some exciting career news for me to announce today: Lexington, you’re not done with me yet! I’m very grateful to announce that I will be succeeding the one and only @agershon99 as a full-time Kentucky Wildcats beat reporter for @TheCatsPause247! I’m very blessed to receive this
