After taking a ton of (justified) criticism for his recruiting, Mark Pope has just had his biggest week ever as Kentucky’s coach. Lands the highest Ranked transfer and High School commit of his career within 5 days

That’s huge for Mark and a good sign going forward

Can we watch a Braylon Mullins game winner every commercial break for the next 40 years now?!

[Chris Bailey @Kentuckyweather]

Mark Pope took a golden opportunity to bury his opponent and turned it into a halftime deficit.

The substitutions, the lack of any offense and the inability to recognize a trap is why we are here. #BBN

I have seen Pope out-coach multiple final 4 teams

He’s lead too many 17+ point comebacks to count

He’s had injury ridden teams down multiple starters beat ranked teams

And then he has games where he just doesn’t really do anything for 10+ minute stretches

So baffling

[Casey @BleedBlueCasey]

No scandals
No allegations
No arrests

Just a coach who pulled four starters out at the same time which resulted in a 40-10 run

[Bleed Blue Network @BleedBNetwork]

This loss is 100% on Mark Pope.

[Dylan Ballard @DylanBallard_UK]

@jackie_waldeck1 He played the worst lineup possible man… how can you defend that?

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Kentucky has only created 3 Turnovers

A&M has created 10 and has 18 points off them

Also the margin of the deficit

[Darrell Bird @DarrellBird]

Five assistant coaches and an analytics war room and @KentuckyMBB still puts losing units on the floor together. UK needs a 'get back' coach to stop the substitution.

[T.J. Walker @TJWalkerRadio]

Up 30–18 with 7:30 left in the first half and Kentucky down 12 at the half. 12!

Pathetic stuff from this group in March. Same goofy stuff we saw in November, and December, and January, and February…

[Dylan Ballard @DylanBallard_UK]

It’s not 96… you don’t have 10 NBA players…

Play your best guys… don’t play 4 subs at once…

Now your starters are out of rhythm and A&M is hot …

This deficit is on Mark Pope…

[Bleed Blue Network @BleedBNetwork]

A&M finished the half on a 27-3 run. No words just embarrassing and unbelievable

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Kentucky just rolling over right now

Way too late in the season to be playing like this

[Spencer Smith @Spencer_Smith10]

This is as epic of a first half collapse as I could ever, EVER remember Kentucky having.

We effectively have lost this game in the last 6 minutes of the first half. Hard to picture the Cats winning at this point.

27-2 run by A&M. One timeout from Mark Pope.
