I like the chance Coach Pope has for himself here at Kentucky. His success is our success now. I don't think I could be more satisfied right now. Be patient. This is just year one we just put to bed. It was a patchwork team with a roller-coaster year.
Fun to watch. Frustrating, but very promising in the overall scheme of the sport and where it is at right now. Especially moving on from the last 6 years here. For God's sakes.
Don't overlook the fact that Pope came in here and beat this dUKe team. Beat the Vols and Barnes twice. Beat Few and the zags. Beat Golden's Florida team. Beat Kelsey and beat Byington. With everything that went on, it was a small miracle he managed everything getting us to a sweet sixteen at the end. Job well done. He knows we have to, and will, do better.
Got some monkeys off the his and our back while he was at it, too. Nice feeling. Well done CMP.
Got work to do. Much work to do. Coach Pope is on it.
We're going to be adding to a final four banner with Coach Pope in a matter of years here, I dunno how many yet, but sooner rather than later. I would guarantee that much, from the looks of it to me.
But what do I know?
I'm just a basketball bennie.
