This may of been the game of the year in November.

When was the last time you saw that kind of halftime adjustments? I will tell you. It was when RP was here coaching Pope.
He’s the key to that team, shut him down at all costs.
Duke wanted to tie the all-time series tonight.
"No tie for you! Next!"
"No tie for you! Next!"
Beat their ass with Robinson a non-factor. He’ll learn from this. And his coach will use it to teach him. What a change in direction we’ve had in a few short months.
Someone else get those going because apparently I have no idea how to post a gif.
Would anyone be kind enough to repeat the stupid comment Jay Williams said at the half? I did not hear it
I thought they'd been saying "Honk The Nipple." Boy do I feel silly.
I will take this L everyday of every year. I was so wrong and man am I happy to be wrong. I’m a idiot for that take
Kentucky’s BACK!! Most exciting time to be a Kentucky fan in years.
It felt that way and then we finally broke through
Amazing adjustments.
We shut down Kanupple too. He was KILLING us in the first.
This game was so huge in many ways... for the 2024/25 season and recruiting.
Put Pope on the map as an elite coach.... he's arrived.

Man Im so proud of this group for fighting back tonight.
Pope schooled Scheyer in Scheyer's "dream season."
Andrew Carr came up big in the 2nd half.
Brandon Garrison gave us big minutes.
Oweh was a dawg and sealed it with the rebound & defense.
Butler made up for his poor start.
I love this team! Pope made the needed adjustments

I thought Brea did a lot of good things in the second half that didn’t involve scoring.

So happy for Coach Pope this early on getting a win against the #6 team and it be Duke, of all rivals! What a great win for the BBN! Go ‘Cats!
There were only a select few who were only here to see Kentucky lose so they could tell us that Pope isn't ready.
Pope has only coached three games at UK and already has a signature win.
Just wait until UK is 7-0, ranked top 5 in the nation, heading into Clemson and coming off a Caleb Wilson commitment.
No doubt. As I said earlier, this game in the big picture won’t matter much (clearly much more awesome to win!) and each team will learn a lot. Duke will learn that others have to work for Flagg instead of letting him put everything on his shoulders. They are an excellent team, just like ours.
We are going to need to find our Reed Sheppard for end of games FT shooting. I don't have a clue who are our best FT shooters are even.
UK will be top 5 by the time we head down to Clemson. We have four VERY winnable games on the horizon.
What a win! Biggest regular season win in a long time. When was our last big time OOC win?
For some reason, I just kept feeling like they were going to win,
When’s the last big time recruit to have this much cramping/cardio issues though? He had major cramping issues in his first 2 games before this too against Maine and West Point
Wow guys! We have ourselves a team! So proud of the guys. Can't wait to watch the replay in the morning so I can catch what I missed. I'm on cloud nine right now.
5 for 19 won’t win many games. We must of made an adjustment at half on him. Kinda quite the second half.
"He's young" - will be the media narrative that will try to shield him tomorrow morning.
The defense was a night and day improvement in the second half, and is largely what won us that game. I love the toughness our guys showed, and Pope aced it with his in game adjustments for his first big game here. It’s a great feeling all around after what we struggled through over the last few years.
No way I can go to sleep right now! Guess I'll be dragging ass at work tomorrow. 🤣
You were fully exposed with your 6 to 10th seed crap. However, I do give you credit for not hiding.
