5+ hour, 10+ min ago (1834+ words) Mark Pope had seen enough. That was a true statement well before Kentucky took the Rupp Arena court Tuesday night for what turned out to be a 103-67 victory over North Carolina Central, one of the lowest-rated teams in college basketball and the sixth overmatched opponent that the Wildcats have run off their home court this season. Pope wasn't happy before, during or after this 36-point win. It didn't do anything to change the narrative around his UK basketball team, a group that has feasted on cupcakes while going 0-4 against quality opposition. The second-year Kentucky coach has worn heartache on his sleeve after those losses, but his demeanor during the course of the defeats " mostly positive with his players, often stoic amid the onslaughts " rubbed a vocal portion of the UK fan base the wrong way. Why doesn't Pope show more…...

8+ hour, 13+ min ago (374+ words) LEXINGTON " During Mark Pope's weekly radio show Monday night, he admitted that given his Kentucky basketball" team's 5-4 record through nine games, clearly, his "approach needs to change." No scene exemplified this shift better Tuesday night than a near-30-second sequence in the first half. Backup UK forward Brandon Garrison " he lost his starting job after five games, giving way to freshman Malachi Moreno " put forth little resistance guarding North Carolina Central's Khouri Carvey, who proceeded to convert a point-blank layup. On the ensuing possession, Garrison coughed up the ball in the paint. NCCU's Ryan Archey came up with the ball, then passed ahead to teammate Kyric Davis. All the while, Garrison leisurely made his way up the court " jogging at best, loafing at worst. As soon as Davis slammed it home, Pope called timeout. He met Garrison before the 6-foot…...

13+ hour, 59+ min ago (590+ words) The Wildcats have fallen out of the polls after getting bludgeoned by Gonzaga over the weekend, putting Mark Few firmly on the hot seat. The leash for coaches in college sports is getting shorter as the NIL era has brought on plenty of player movement, making it easier for programs to wonder why their coaches can't turn things around quickly like Curt Cignetti did for Indiana football. That impatience led to a dramatic coaching carousel in football, highlighted by Lane Kiffin's circus between Ole Miss and LSU, but we haven't seen that kind of chaos move to the hardwood quite yet.

1+ day, 1+ min ago (637+ words) Breezy with some sun. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops walks off the field at half-time of a 2024 game against Georgia. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- When Kentucky football made the decision to part ways with head coach Mark Stoops, it knew the cost would be high. As the third-largest coaching buyout in college football history " $37.7 million " it might even have proved unworkable for the university. But Stoops himself came to an agreement with UK officials that helped secure a deal far less damaging to Kentucky's budget than the original terms of his contract required. Under the deal Stoops signed in 2022, he was owed75% of his remaining salary in a lump sum within 60 daysof termination without cause. At the time of his firing following a season-ending 41-0 loss to Louisville, that meant UK coming up with nearly $38 million in two months, which would be no simple…...

1+ day, 24+ min ago (248+ words) The Kentucky Wildcats return to Rupp Arena tonight as they welcome the North Carolina Central Eagles to Lexington. Game time is set for 7 PM ET on the SEC Network. Looking to get back on track after the beatdown in Nashville on Friday night, the Cats will have to show a lot tonight to even get the BBN somewhat bought back in before Indiana comes to town on Saturday. NC Central comes into tonight ranked No. 350 out of 365 teams according to the KenPom rankings. In short? The Eagles are not even remotely close to the teams Kentucky has struggled with this season. So, what can the Wildcats show tonight to really get the fanbase bought back in? That is a great question, but it likely starts with showing some sort of confidence on the offensive side of the ball. Can they…...
