Possibly the most badass entrance ever into Rupp Arena.
The 1996 Kentucky championship team walks out of the bus, with new coach Mark Pope hoisting the trophy.
Welcome home Coach!
Mark Pope on becoming the Kentucky head coach:
“The University of Kentucky is the pinnacle of coaching in college basketball. It’s the definition of blueblood program where hanging a banner is the expectation ever year. Equally as important, UK changed my life forever as a human being. The love and passion I have for this program, this University and the people of the Commonwealth goes to the depth of my soul.
“I’m thankful to Dr. (Eli) Capilouto and Mitch Barnhart for this opportunity. I’m proud to be your next head coach and I can’t wait to do this together!”
Calipari gets upset AGAIN, by 14 seed Oakland. Just don't know how he keeps his job now, off that long-ago national championship featuring Anthony Davis. I like John, can no longer defend this.
With this free throw during the 4th quarter, Pendleton County senior @alexbeyst2 becomes the 21st player in Wildcats program history to reach 1,000 points for his career.
