LEX 18 Team Coverage: UK hires Mark Pope to coach Wildcats 

We have for the first time in a long time we have a coach who bleeds blue! That means loyalty 😊

This is what I want. Someone who loves and appreciates Kentucky.

Love it. He can coach, his teams play hard.

I’m so excited! Excellent choice. Coach Pope, I will rock with you all the way! And I’m so confident you will be cutting down nets QUICKLY! Let’s go CATS!

No more floppy action instead of a real offense!

Our Diamond in the rough, He will end up as Cool as the other side of the Pillow.

Reed would be crazy to come back and jeopardize his draft status. I’d love to have him back but he has to make the smart decision and declare for the NBA draft. Don’t be selfish let that young man fulfill his dreams.

Regarding Reed returning . . . If he comes back and gets a career ending injury, he would then become the highest earning insurance agent in Kentucky history. Fans, who would love to do business with a Wildcat anyway, would flock to him for his selflessness in returning to Kentucky.

Love the hire. Go big blue!!!!

Hey Hey, we got a coach. Love it

Pope our Diamond in the rough. Will end up as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Reed and Travis Perry as our Guards!!!!! Pope as the coach!!!Woooot! Could you just imagine

I'm looking forward

Congratulations Mark Pope!!!

oof those horrendous denim blue uniforms from the 90s lol

Maybe he can bring back some dignity

Billy g as an assistant ….

Let's go Big Blue..Finally going to get some big white guys who will stay around for 3-4 years

He was the third choice ? Shame on him, he should have turned them down.

Mark played with his day and now he can play with Mark. With millions in NIL money, he will stay another year. He will bring in others as well.

Wow, now that is a lot of plastic surgery madam. Maybe pull back to only once a month treatments. Just a suggestion

Squishy feel-good sentiments don't win basketball games, Mark. You've proven you won't win in each of your prior jobs. This is a friggin joke, guys, and an embarrassment.

She beautiful don’t say things like that
