The Big Blue Nation was at its absolute best on Sunday afternoon. Kentucky fans showed up the morning of Mark Pope‘s introductory press conference as the new men’s basketball head coach - and they just kept showing up as the doors opened an hour before the scheduled 4:30 p.m. EST start time.
In fact, they never stopped showing up, to the point where Rupp Arena had to begin turning fans away from entering the jam-packed building. It was announced on the TV broadcast that roughly 5,000 fans were denied entrance due to the arena - which holds over 20,000 people - hitting capacity.
The press conference was even delayed about 15 minutes to allow every fan in the building a chance to settle into their seat. Even Pope didn’t seem to believe what he was seeing.
