Pope has to have achieved more than anyone could’ve hoped for. Even if we lose Sunday. With that being said, let’s keep this rollin!
But seriously, I would’ve never guessed a 3 seed this year. My only tourney expectation was to make the tourney and win 1 game. I know that sounds crazy low of an expectation at Kentucky. But considering how we had an entirely different team and coaching staff a year ago. And Pope did t have time to get high end recruits. He put a pretty damn good transfer class together in a short period of time and overachieved.
With that being said, he’s setting the bar now to where the bar ought to be. We should have some nba talented freshman and some good players coming back (please OWEH, please), and I’m sure he fills a really good transfer class. So the talent will be better next year. And the bar will be set higher. And that’s the way we love it!
On a side note, I actually had very little anxiety this year bc of my “not so high expectations”. But I can always refill my Xanax for next year 😬
