Appreciation thread. Mine is Oweh's effort on the boards

[Princecal]

I feel like it doesn't get talked about enough, Oweh is always getting big time rebounds and when he doesn't he's down in the paint fighting for it and at least keeping the ball alive for the rest of the team or at the very least making the other team take more time and be out of sorts which keeps transition opportunities against us to the minimal

My appreciation is for each of these guys playing like the jersey actually means something.

Pope for being a legit Xs and Os Coach.

Mine is Garrison’s spark and hustle off the bench

Oweh reminds me of Marcus Smart. My appreciation is Coach Pope bringing energy and enthusiasm back to the program.

For me, it all starts with Mark Pope.
We can debate the last few years, the good, the bad, but I think everyone can agree there was a large amount of negatively and despair often around UK Basketball during the season and off season. It just seemed like no matter what, there would be good times only to have more bad crap come up.
With Mark Pope, it just feels like a new environment; one that is positive and more a team approach.
This team we have seems to be the closest to an old-style Kentucky team, one that played for the name on the front more than the one on the back.
It is refreshing feeling to watch again.
Teams are going to have bad days no matter what. It's the memory of coming back from 31 down at LSU that lives forever with UK fans, no the record of that year. Effort and attitude. That is what Mark Pope has brought back.

Oweh has a beast mode. Good to see some toughness wearing blue.
